The crew was super friendly, boat was clean, and they knew right where to find the whales! We had a great time - will definitely do it again when we return to Hawaii!

My wife and I chose this company to experience whale watching. While the experience was very successful with 12 whale sightings and numerous dolphins, you should know beforehand that if you sit at the front of the boat you will be jousted about when the boat catches waves at high speed. You may also get completely doused with water from head to toe. We did. Unfortunately my wife’s phone got soaked and no longer works properly. My hearing aids got soaked, but I was able to take them off and dry them before any damage occurred. I had my expensive camera inside my backpack or it would have very likely been water damaged too. I knew there was good possibility that we would get “splashed” before we boarded, but I didn’t expect to be soaked. So just be aware of this because it was never mentioned to us beforehand that we could get soaked from head to toe. If I would have known, I would have left my camera and hearing aids back at our condo!

Diego, Mitch, and Amy were great guides! They went above and beyond to ensure the whales put on a show for our boat. Would recommend and go again.
