Hawaiian Adventures Kona understands that first-hand experiences are key to cultivating connections between communities and wildlife. We hope that our tours can inspire this respect for marine life in those visiting Hawaii, a respect that the Kona community embodies. We are excited to be a part of a community that understands the health of our oceans is tantamount to our own well-being, and play our part to promote this mindset. Come join us on the water, and experience the connection with the whales and wildlife that has inspired our family for the past 25 years.

PARADISE SAILING HAWAII is a local small business, family owned and operated by captains Eric and Yumi Wakely. After 20 years of running boats for other charter businesses in Hawaii, we have launched our own company. Our mission is to provide a SAILING oriented charter opportunity on a comfortable size, fast, modern catamaran with plenty of space for our guests to stretch out and relax. Our Kurt Hughes 36, Kōlea, has plenty of shade, nice clean toilet facilities, ample seating and tables with drink holders. We don’t care for being herded onto a big “cattle-maran” any more than our guests do. We specifically chose our 36′ x 24′ Kurt Hughes designed cat because she is the perfect size boat for a small to medium size group of up to 24 passengers max.
