My first whale watching trip and my spouses second. Ocean sports spoiled me for all other whale watching trips. The crew was amazing, informative and attentive. We saw whales within the first 10 min of our trip. In the two hours we were out we saw so many breaches and were surrounded by 6 whales around the boat towards the end of our trip. The crew was very respectful in making sure we kept a safe distance from the whales as not to disturb them and when they surrounded us, turned the boat off until they moved on and we could safely move back to shore. This trip was incredible. I know I will probably never have an experience like this one again but I highly recommend Ocean Sports. They will take good care of you!

Aloha, Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback about your Whale Watch Cruise. We're so happy to read that you enjoyed the trip, the information and service provided by the crew, and most of all, got to see so many Humpbacks. We also appreciate your recognition that we do our best to stay 100 yards from the Humpbacks (but we still relish those close encounters when the whales choose to make them happen). We know there are a lot of activity providers to choose from when you're on the island and we're honored you chose to spend part of your day with us and that we've earned your recommendation.
