Without Whales, but with Waves

4.00Overall a very good experience. Sadly we didn't catch and Whales due to the season, but the staff notified us of this upon leaving the dock. They were on time and helpful through the boat ride. There were significant moments of silence, which depending on your engagement preference could be a a good or bad thing; while staff were searching for marine life to showcase.
Trip was cancelled but we got an immediate refund

5.00Loved it! Didn't see whales but we were offered a return visit repeatedly until we do see whales. We may return to Hawaii just to take them up on their offer.
Definitely recommend!

5.00OMGosh, one of the best whale watching tours ever! We saw 7 humpback whales, and the captain and his crew were just the best. They kept us informed about everything from sighting to weather and sailing conditions. We were lucky to be on a tour with only 60 people. The tour before us was much larger and they did not see any whales. We were so happy to see whales and the crew was as excited as we were! The weather was fabulous with just a little choppiness as we raced towards the whales. We had sooo much fun!
Excellent whale watching in the pink boat

5.00Seamus and the two other crew were light hearted and funny. That was the bonus along with seeing flying fish, a pod of three whales and some dolphins.
Bucket-list item ticked off

5.00Captain Jamie, Ryan and Tyler were great crew. They made sure we got to see some whales whether they were on the side of the boat or behind us, and got up as close as we could. We stayed within distance of a mother and calf and it was awesome to see watch them. You need to have patience.
First hour was great, we...

3.00First hour was great, we seen many whales. Second half of the trip everybody started to feel sick. It was pretty hot, and everybody within our visibility was getting motion sickness so kings couldn’t wait for it to be over at that point! Tour guides were great, it was still a nice experience.
