Hawaii Parks and Refuges

The Kona Coast’s vibrant pelagic zone and nearshore humpback habitat create the unique landscape for an extraordinary phenomenon: Whales year-round! From April to November, embark on our 3-4 hour pelagic whale watch tours, searching for over a dozen resident whale and dolphin species. During the winter from December through March, we shift focus inshore on our 2.5-3 hour humpback whale watches. This time of year brings thousands of humpbacks who have traveled to the Hawaiian Islands to breed and give birth. We’re also on the lookout for nearshore wildlife including Hawaiian spinner dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, surface feeding manta rays, hammerhead sharks, and even the occasional whale shark.

If you're looking for one of the best beaches on Maui and some of the best snorkeling on Maui, then look no further than Kahekili Beach Park, just north or Kaanapali. The reef here extends right to the shore so it's a super accessible, easy, and comfortable place to go snorkeling in Maui. The beach
