5.00What a great 2 hours. Staff was amazing and funny. We got to follow a whale right off shore with it diving several times so that we saw his tail. Then we took a little boat ride and seeing the shore line from the water was amazing. Definitely recommend this tour. We had 4 adults and a 10 and 7 year old who all loved it

2.00We were informed bathroom on boat wasn’t working when we set out , ocean was pretty rocky , I forgot to take Dramamine and soon started feeling bad . I threw up several times off the back of the boat . They drove out one hour sat in one spot and rocked back and forth for a few minutes There were no whales and I think they knew there wouldn’t be. It was the last day of the season, no whales , no dolphins nothing . I was so sick I was crying by the time we got back Never ever again
A very good trip

5.00We did the whale watching tour on 18th April and it was the last one of the year. I knew it was the end of whale season but I really, really wanted to see one so I booked and hoped for the best. And we got really lucky! Three sightings.. and on the last one it jumped out five times, totally dramatic, totally perfect. Thanks to Jamie, Javier and John for the experience. Loved the play list. Listening to Fleetwood Mac on the sea in Hawaii was surreal. Also interesting info about the whales. The crew were very entertaining with many jokes, some less painful than others and an unexpected dance sequence at the end. All in all a very good trip.
Very fun tour

4.00We saw tons of dolphins, a few turtles, monk seals but no whales. Tour guides and captain were great and took lots of time sharing information about the area and the sea creatures!
Must see experience.

5.00The crew was wonderful. They tried so hard to entertain and give accurate information about the whales. We saw several breaches and tails. Great experience. I recommend this trip.
