Overall, this was a fun tour to do. The guide tried to make the trip exciting. I would recommend waiting until prime whale watching season. We went a little early in the season, and we still saw a few whales, but the time was mostly spent looking on the water waiting for something to happen.
It was a shame that it was the end of the season so we didn't get to see that much action, in fact we saw more whales and dolphins on our snorkel trip 2 days before. The commentary from the guys from the whale foundation was very interesting and they made an effort to engage with the kids, who may not understand the higher level sciencey bits. Great trip will recommend but don't wait till the end of the season.
This was an awesome Whale watch, we followed a Mom and Baby whale for 1 1/2 hrs. The staff was very friendly and full of knowledge. I would take this again when in Hawaii...
