Whale Watching Kona
The Whales come to Kona in the winter months and boat tours take visitors to see them. A group of whales are being followed by tour boats off Kona coast near Kahalu'u Bay. If you look in front of the boats you can see the Whale's water spouts and fins. This video was taken from the Outrigger Keauhoe Beach Hotel on Alii Drive in Kona Hawaii.

The Sea Village - Oceanfront 2 Bedroom 2 Bath Condo Kona Hawaii Big Island
2 bedroom, 2 bath, Oceanside Condo Sea Village
This first floor (no steps) unit is one of the finest in the Sea Village complex. It is located in Building Number 4, the oceanfront building. You can see the ocean from the living room and kitchen. Sit on your own private oceanfront lanai and view the beautiful coast of Kona and Kailua Village, watch the dolphins and whales frolic in the ocean and witness the gorgeous Kona sunsets. One guest says it all - From the lanai, we saw spinner dolphins, yellow tang, black crab, red crabs, fish jumping from tidepools to the ocean, lots of birds and a shark - beautiful sunsets. This past winter season, guests witnessed a humpback whale giving birth off the rocks in front of the building. This updated unit (new kitchen, shower, tile and carpet) is beautifully and tastefully decorated and has everything you need to enjoy a wonderful vacation in paradise. The Kailua-Kona Coast has the most colorful and spectacular pink, lavender, and orange sunsets in Hawaii. Maybe you’ll be lucky and spot the famous 'Green Flash” at sunset, as the sun dips behind the horizon. You can watch the incredible Kona sunsets right from one of the decks or the lanai, as well as the cruise ships, para-sailing, whales and dolphins.
The Kailua-Kona Historical Village is a short drive from the Sea Village (1 miles north on Alii Drive) . The Village is very quaint, with lots of charm and good shopping right along the water’s edge. Some of the activities you can find in the Village and nearby are: beaches, luau’s, farmer’s markets, art galleries, jewelry shops, restaurants, boating, snorkeling, scuba diving, surfing, boogie boarding, and deep sea fishing .... Just about every water sport you can think of! There are also several great golf courses nearby. There is so much to do to stay active, or you can do nothing and just lounge on the beach.

Places to see in ( Kailua-Kona - USA )
Kailua-Kona is a town on the west coast of Hawaii Island (the Big Island). Hulihee Palace is a former royal vacation home dating from 1838. Mokuaikaua Church, from the 1800s, is Hawaii’s oldest Christian church. On Kailua Bay, reconstructed thatched houses at Kamakahonu National Historic Landmark mark King Kamehameha I’s residence. Colorful coral lies off Kamakahonu Beach. Kailua Pier has boat moorings.
Kailua Kona, often referred to as Kona by the locals, is the main western city, population 34,000 (2012), of the Big Island of Hawaii. It is nestled on the western coast of the Hualalai Volcano. In ancient times, this area was considered the premier place to live due to the excellent weather and good water. Many kings made their homes here. It was the home of King Kamehameha I, who united the Hawaiian Islands. It was also here in Kailua-Kona that Kamehameha's son, King Liholiho, broke and officially abolished the ancient kapu system. Later, missionaries built churches and residences and planted coffee, turning the tiny fishing village into a small seaport. Now Kona has become known for sport fishing, snorkeling, sunsets and coffee, which is cultivated on the slopes of Mount Hualalai. Because the mountains block the northeasterly trade winds, Kona gets very little rain and enjoys more than 300 days of sunshine a year. Kona is also home to the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament (August) and the Ironman Triathlon World Championship (October).
Traffic was pretty minor before, but in recent years has become more congested. Driving in tourist-oriented areas can be slow, but the town is generally not large enough to have serious problems. Walking is a manageable way to explore the town, but you should rent a car if you want to get to resorts, beaches and other cultural locations. Some free parking is available: When you enter Kailua via Palani Road (Hwy. 190), turn left onto Kuakini Highway, drive for about a block, and turn right into a parking lot marked with a green P sign. From there, go down some steps and walk makai (toward the ocean) on Likana Lane a half block to Ali`i Drive, and you'll be in the heart of Kailua-Kona.
Street addresses are confusing and consist of two parts. Hawaii Island is divided into nine zones, each of which are subdivided into nine sections. The first two digits of an address, before the hyphen, indicate the zone and its section. For example, Kailua-Kona is 75, Waikoloa 68, Captain Cook 81 and Hawi 55. The numbers following the hyphen are based on the distance from a predetermined starting point — usually a road intersection or a highway. The numbers run consecutively, with odd numbers on the left and even numbers on the right as you head away from the starting point. For example, addresses on Ali`i Drive increase as you head south, with even numbers on the ocean side of the Drive.
Kailua-Kona is a place for ocean and outdoor recreational activities. Surfing, fishing, diving, boating, snorkeling and swimming are all popular sports in Kailua-Kona, as are hiking, biking, caving, and four wheeling. In August, there is the Hawaiian International Billfish Tournament; in October, the Ironman Triathlon World Championship.

Tiger Shark encounter at Honokohau Harbor, Kailua-Kona, Hawaii 7/12/15
After watching this huge Tiger Shark swim by me and my brother at fifty feet in the channel we decided to turn and start back towards the moorings. At about forty feet we saw this shadow coming out of the darkness heading straight for us. We froze in our position and I started filming with my GoPro 3+Black on a 3ft pole in medium format. The shark held position to within 8-10 ft of me before finally turning and heading back out to sea. Exhilarating!!
