I had two exceptional experiences with Kaimana Ocean Safari on 8/16/2024 and 8/19/2024! They were the highlights of our trip to Hawaii.
The first day we swam with a massive bait ball, three manta rays participating in mating behavior, and many oceanic whitetip sharks! Kayleigh Grant and Morri Sides were excellent in and out of the water. They made sure we were all prepared for the wildlife we were going to encounter and ensured our safety in the water. We had such a good time we booked a second day with Kaimana when we returned.
The second day we swam with a massive sperm whale, manta rays and an oceanic whitetip shark! Cam Grant and Devoni Cartwright prepared us for the various encounters and ensured our safety in the water. The interaction with the Sperm Whale was unexpected and very exciting, and the crew did everything possible to give us a good chance to get in the water with the fast-moving whale.
The boat is very comfortable and has ample storage space to keep bags, towels, and other items dry while at sea. They offered us snacks, drinks and freshly cut pineapple that everyone loved. They were all passionate about the animals and were happy to share troves of interesting information and stories.
We bought the photography and GoPro video packages each day and they were well worth it. It was fun to see photos and videos of us with the animals and the video and photos of the wildlife were excellent. It allowed us to be more present and enjoy the experience rather than worrying about our own footage (we brought our own GoPros along, too!).
