Amazing! - This trip was amazing! Saw dolphins after only minutes of being on the boat… saw humpback whales as we went down the coast. Snorkelled with Rough Toothed dolphins and pilot whales. Finished with beautiful fish, eels and sea urchins. The staff were so knowledgeable! I highly recommend booking this tour!

Amazing Off-Shore Safari Tour - The best experience! Monet and Brendan are so friendly! They made the trip so personable and interactive. It was incredible to swim with off-shore bigger marine species. I can’t recommend them enough. Absolutely need to book with them!

Pilot whales, dolphins, sharks, and much more! - My wife and I took this tour on 3-4-26. Brandon and Monet were incredibly helpful and accommodating. They took the time to try and cater the experience to all aboard, and they succeeded wonderfully. The snorkel spot was great (we saw a turtle, octopus, and dolphins) and getting to see AND swim with Polly whales (and a couple of sharks) was amazing. We would definitely do this tour again! Thank you both for a great day!

Amazing Ocean Safari with Ocean Eco Tours - What an incredible time out on the water with Ocean Eco Tours! Monet and Brendan were super knowledgeable and spotted so much sea life during our offshore safari! We swam with pilot whales, beaked whales, dolphins, and an oceanic white tip! The ride out was super comfy and it was nice to have storage in the benches where we could put our things. When we were in the water, Monet made us feel super comfortable and gave us direction on where to look and what to do. You HAVE to go out with Ocean Eco Tours if you are headed to Kona. Best excursion ever!!

Experience of a lifetime!! - This offshore safari was the highlight of our whole trip! We were headed towards a pod of pilot whales when Brandon got word of a whale shark sighting. He got us quickly and safely to the site and after some waiting, the magnificent whale shark resurfaced. All in all, we got to swim / snorkel with the whale shark for almost one hour. We felt completely safe as did our kids (9 & 11). Monet got some incredible videos for us. We even spotted an oceanic white tip shark in the distance. Overall this was an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommend Eco Ocean Tours!! We also did the night manta ray tour with them and had an incredible experience.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Ocean Safari with Ocean Eco Tours - Our ocean safari with Ocean Eco Tours was nothing short of extraordinary—truly beyond our wildest dreams. From the moment we set out, the crew was knowledgeable, passionate, and completely committed to giving us the best possible experience while respecting the ocean and its wildlife. We were thrilled to see and swim with dolphins, an experience that alone would have made the day unforgettable. But the adventure didn’t stop there. When word came in that sperm whales had been sighted, the crew sprang into action and made what can only be described as a herculean effort to locate them and safely bring us within observation distance. Their determination paid off—we were rewarded with the awe-inspiring sight of sperm whales breaching, a moment none of us will ever forget. We even attempted to swim with the whales, but they turned out to be a bit shy and gracefully moved on. Even so, the experience was magical, humbling, and deeply memorable. This outing was expertly run, thrilling, respectful of marine life, and absolutely unforgettable. If you’re considering an ocean adventure, Ocean Eco Tours delivers an experience that exceeds expectations in every possible way. Highly, highly recommended. 🌊🐬🐋
