5.00We were worried at first because the first 20 minutes there was no action, but as soon as we hit the destination we saw tons of activity! Amazing experience and one of the highlights of our trip.

5.00My family and I had a spectacular time. The captain was confident and gave us a lot of facts and information about the whales. The crew wanted to make sure we stayed hydrated and provided snacks for us. We were fortunate to see many whales and followed their movements. The captain really wanted to make sure that we were able to watch the majestic whales and to see them breach. As an added bonus, we saw Spinner Dolphins. They seemed to dance in the air for us!! I recommend this particular whale watching outfit for a positive and fun experience. We loved it.
Excellent tour, the captain and crew were super nice, we were able to see many dolphins.

5.00We were not able to see any whales but did see dolphins. It was a very fun tour, Jacob and Kiwami were very friendly and what I loved the most is that the owner gave us another tour since we were not able to see any whales. The snorkel tour was really fun and my whole family enjoyed it so much. I do recommend this tour to anyone who goes to Kona. Kiwami was also on this boat and she did not dissapoint. Lunch was yummy!
