Traveler Reviews
It was a tough ride out, lots of rough waves, but we did see 1 jumping whale. Then we just sat, and sat, and sat. Doing nothing on that zodiac boat. So much that my husband got sick for the 1st time ever. Lots of quiet moments- too many for what we paid in our opinion. We knew whales were more abundant in Maui, but this experience needed something else. Either more info or a different launch site and definitely less time on this rough boat. We spent 2 hours too long sitting looking at nothing. They had the microphone to listen to whales singing but only turned it on twice and only kept it on less than 1 minute each time. Why? I hate to say it, but if I had known what I know now, I would’ve never booked. Do something else. Save your $.

We saw dolphins, turtles and whales. The best part was when they dropped a microphone into water to hear the songs of the whales, just magical

Dolphin, Turtles and More, Oh My!
My husband had a wonderful time on this tour. We knew in advance that it was pretty early in the season to see whales, but we didn’t care. We took a zodiac to find whales. What we did see were Sea Turtles and Spinner Dolphins. The dolphins came up to the boat. I will definitely do this again. The sunset was a highlight!!! We didn’t see the green flash.
I will say, anyone who gets sea sickness should not go. The zodiac bounces a lot through the waves.

We saw whales ?? and the captain and crew were absolutely amazing. Bother we're personable, professional, and so knowledgeable about the sea animals and Hawaiian culture. I would recommend this tour for adventure seekers BUT do not do it if you get motion sickness - it is close quarters. BRING AN ENTIRE SET OF DRY CLOTHES FOR THE RIDE HOME

Had a wonderful time. Saw a lot of sea turtles. The captains were great. We were even lucky enough to get a
Family shot behind a double rainbow.
