Whale watching at its best!

This was a great experience! We were barely on the boat, only 15 minutes from pulling away from the dock, when the first whales were spotted. A momma and her baby. We saw several pairs. And one little one was really putting on a show for us as he/she was learning to jump and tail flip. Also they put a mike in the water and we heard them! Great fun!

Very organized tour. Easy to find meeting spot, quick walk to boat. Boat was clean, the team was very helpful and educational. We saw a mother with her calf and another “teen” whale. We only saw their backs and one tail. No breaches.

Very comfortable boat with indoor and outdoor view options if weather is poor. Well educated and cheery commentary. Boat skipper was able to keep as close as legal for amazing views of moms and their calves, whales breaching all around us and tail flukes visible when whales diving. Unforgettable trip and a highlight of my Hawaiian vacation.
