I took this tour as a solo traveler and had the best time! The guide, John was exceptional- encouraging group bonding and telling us all about the sea life, whales and area we were seeing and traveling through. It was a good calm paddle out to the shipping lane to see and hear whales pretty close- totally thrilling! We returned to the Olowalu reef for some of the best snorkeling I've done, off the kayaks. Clear water, tons of fish and healthy coral and a couple turtles. A wonderful way to spend time on the water and one of the best tours I've taken in Hawaii.
The parking / meeting area has a steep curb that makes it easy to bottom out on low cars and lots of soft sand- I almost got stuck and I wasn't the only one. Use caution when pulling in.
