Whale watching - Our guides Kristina and Lexie did a great job finding whales and giving information about what the whales were doing!

Large number of whales - We had a wonderful experience. Our guides were great. They were very knowledgeable and got us next to a whole pod of humpback whales. We saw around 12 of them. They were coming out of the water and fighting with each other for the females attention. It was amazing. It was the first week in April so we weren’t sure what we would see but it was great.

Awesome! Don’t hesitate to book it! - Highlight of our trip! Knew we were in good hands, loved that they drove us around for quite some time, not just sitting and waiting but a lovely boat excursion. We saw several whales and were completely overjoyed with this crew and excursion .

BEST WHALE WATCH EVER!!! - This was the best Whale Watch we have done. We got to see a mother whale teaching her calf various whale skills and they hung out for a long time. We also saw a Competition Pod of at least 10 males and got to see them for a long time. Jill was an excellent captain and she and Casey both were extremely knowledgeable and I learned a lot about whales. Check in was was easy and the ride itself was a BLAST!!! I highly recommend this whale watch!

Best Bang for the Buck Tour - Within 5 minutes of our departure from the shore we came upon a pod of spinner dolphins which was very cool. Then, after another 10 minutes we came upon a small pod of 5 humpback whales! As we watched them from a distance they seemed to become very active including jumping right out of the water and landing with a load smack! It was incredible! We kept watching them perform for us for at least 30 minutes before we left that area and browsed around until we came upon a female with a you calf! That too was amazing! There was also an adult male “escort” whale too. We watched these amazing creatures interact for about another 30 minutes before it was time to head back to shore. Lily and Lexi were our captain and guide and it was their expertise that made the whole trip worth while. My wife and I were visiting Maui for our 15th wedding anniversary and of all the excursions we went on this was the best “bang for the buck”. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to get up close and personal to these magnificent animals and enjoy the ride with 2 great staff members.

Best tour ever - Our tour guides wore top notch. They made it so fun and played awesome music at the same time. They were very informative about the whales and why they did the things they did. I absolutely had the time of my life and would love to do it again. I would recommend this to everyone

Great experience, well worth it. - We were at the “tale” end of the season, but still saw several pods. The guides were great, and the kids had a blast.
