Hawai‘i Nautical

Choose from catamaran sailing, snorkeling, dolphin- and whale-watching, sunset cruises, private charters and more, aboard the Hilton fleet of vessels from nearby ‘Anaeho’omalu Bay. Explore the Waikoloa and Kohala-Kona coastline aboard The Spirit of Aloha, a 54-foot sailing catamaran. Dolphins, green sea turtles and seasonal whales are some of the creatures that can be seen. Board from the ‘Anaeho’omalu Bay beach to snorkel, sail, enjoy and relax. The custom-designed sunset-orange and Maile lei sail is a stunning contrast to the azure Pacific as it sails along the blue Pacific Ocean. Itineraries include morning snorkel sails, afternoon wildlife watching, and sunset cruises. During whale season every December thru April, see whales or cruise again free on our 90-minute morning powerboat or afternoon sailing catamaran whale-watch outings. Captain and lifeguard-certified crew members are available to answer questions about the ocean, navigation, sea life and marine conservation.

Amenities of the sailing catamaran Spirit of Aloha include an onboard bar, a large fully-enclosed and covered cabin with table and bench seating, two full restrooms, freshwater shower, surround-sound system and multiple stairway entry points for snorkelers entering the water. Ample outdoor areas for sunning are also available. Features of the powerboat Maka’i include its fast, nimble thrill-ride and wide open viewing platform.

Free shuttle between the resort and the beach is available for boat passengers.
