TOUR DESCRIPTION:
The calm waters off the Big Island's Kona Coast offer some of the best pelagic birding in Hawaii. The best months for seabird diversity are March, April, September, October, November and December which coincide with the trans-equatorial migrations. This tour is conducted aboard an outstanding 50' boat equipped with stabilizers and great onboard viewing locations. Depending on the birds and weather we might go offshore 25 miles or make a loop 10-15 miles offshore either north or south.
