This was an incredible tour. Keko and her husband were great guides. It wasn’t just about the animals, which obviously can’t be guaranteed but we learned a lot about the history of Honolulu and all the animals that inhabit the area. It was a great experience and a must do if you’re here at the right time. Get photos Keko is an incredible photographer!
Great tour

I purchased this tour for my parents, their friends, my debilitated uncle and my very elderly grandmother. They did not see ANYTHING. As a rational person, I recognize that we can’t control nature, but I also know that whales are abundant this time of year! I want expecting dolphins or even turtles (even though those are almost guaranteed), I feel like they should’ve seen something! You can even see the whales playing from shore! No refund or scheduled tour for later date. Super disappointed
