Fantastic trip highly recommend - What a fantastic trip they took care of everything the food and drinks were great and plentiful and the whales were active and everywhere. I gave up trying to get pictures since they were all around us and just put the phone away and enjoyed the experience. I highly recommend, you won’t be disappointed.

AMAZING ADVENTURE! - First time in Hawaii and wanted to go whale watching for my husband's birthday. It was so fun and so worth it. The price was not bad for the both of us especially when the hotel we were staying at charged more. The length of the experience was good, not too long and not too short. It was perfect. The crew was AMAZING!! They explained everything very well and I especially loved that they wanted us all to acknowledge and respect Lahaina. The atmosphere was fun and laid back. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for a laid back whale watching experience.
