It was the last day of the season, and our expectations were low. It began with a dolphin following the boat and playing in the wake. Then, Brice, the captain, spotted a spout heading toward it. We saw one, then two, three, and finally a pod of four. Delighted, we headed back toward port when the crew spotted a giant pod of melonhead whales. They came and surrounded us. It was like the water was boiling with the motion of so many whales. Crew member Diego was a fount of knowledge, explaining to us about whales and dolphins. Another crew member, Taimea, took amazing videos that she shared with us at the end of our adventure.

It's guaranteed you will see dolphins. Whales on the other hand are harder to spot. We got lucky and saw one from about 1000 yards as it dove under and we were able to see its fluke.

I chose a day with a Japanese guide and booked it. That was very nice of me! I enjoyed the tour many times because they told me about whales and Hawaii in detail! Thank you very much. And if I had any advice for anyone who was going to join us… the Japanese translation of the tour preparation was made in the same way for all tours, they asked us to bring swimwear and towels, but we didn’t need them at all for whale watching. You can participate lightly!

It was fantastic- these guys know their science and what to look for so we found a baby whale with his mother even though it was late in the season! Highly recommend!

Amy and Mitch were very informative of the whales. We were fortunate enough to see a very active baby whale and mom.

Easy to find location. Crew was very professional & knowledgeable. We had an awesome time & had the opportunity to see several whale sightings. The boat ride was relaxing & the water is a gorgeous color of blue. Would highly recommended for all ages to experience.

It was fine. We saw a few whales, the staff were nice, the captain drove through some big waves really well. There was no bathroom on board. They said it was broken, but I didn't even see one on board - it was a small boat. The seats were not very comfortable. Overall, it wasn't a bad experience (it could have been really bad if someone needed to go the bathroom!), but it wasn't our favorite thing we did on the trip either. We chose this tour based on it being shorter than others and for that it worked for us.
