We were on the morning tour. The experience was wonderful. The entire staff were warm and hospitable. Captain Jeff was very knowledgeable and informative. Our other two captains were also very accommodating; keeping the sun to our backs so we could get great photos and making sure we had plenty of liquids to keep us hydrated. Best part, we saw whales! Calf, mother and escort whales. Highly recommended Ocean Sports!

We did a whale excursion with Hawaii Ocean Sports. We did see a a Tiger Shark but the whales however, did not cooperate so HOS offered us another cruise. Seas were quite a bit rougher on the second cruise, we did see some whales. On both cruises the crew were fantastic! Communications with the company is very easy and they are very accommodating. I would recommend this company for anybody visiting the Big Island, they have so much to offer!
