Whales and dolphins oh my! - Loved the experience! Was expecting a bit bigger boat but there was only 5 of us on board so it was a one of a kind experience! Saw multiple humpback whales. One that breached about 10 times while we watched! On the way back to shore we saw bottle nose and spinner dolphins! Was a great morning!

Great adventure! - We enjoyed our excursion with Captain Dennis! We saw lots of spinner dolphins and circled around a few times to get more looks and photos! We saw a mom and baby whale very close to our boat. We learned a lot about the Hawaiian landscape, nature, and culture! Great adventure!

Bravo dolphin discoveries - We had a wonderful trip! The crew is knowledge, helpful, and fun. These tours are smaller than the body glove tours and feel much more personal. Highly recommend!

Happy memories! - It was an amazing experience! Didn’t expect to also get a tour around the coast. We where able to see at least around 4 humpback tails and spinner dolphins. This was my first time in Hawaii and first time seeing whales so I made an amazing memory for me and my husband. Not only that but I was able to see a flying fish too!! I never expected to see them but it was definitely on my bucket list. The whole experience was worth it!

Patience pays off! Great guides! - We had a great day today with Captain Denis and Crew Kaylei. They took us out and kept sharing about Hawaii and whales/dolphins while we looked for creatures. We saw a few clusters of manta rays feeding (so intriguing) and we saw several small whales , just bits of plumes and a couple of tails before they dove. Both Denis and Kaylei kept at it, and near the end of our time we saw a pair of larger humpbacks swimming along - incredible! - and then on our return, about 6-8 dolphins swam along side our boat, jumping in the wake! It was great! I've been on other tours, and this stands out as a great outfit and wonderful guides. Mahalo!!

Up close with Humpback Whales! - What an incredible trip with Warren as our guide! We had the rare opportunity of having 2 Humpback whales circle, surface and dive under our small boat for about 20 minutes. Truly incredible. They acted like large dolphins who were curious and wanted to show off for us. What fun! I would rate the trip as 6 stars if I could!
