Great experience - Great experience. There were eight of us ranging in ages from 10 to 63. We really didn't know what to expect but had an amazing experience. The owner was our tour guide and was very knowledgeable. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, sharks, and whales up close almost to the point we could touch them from the boat. Highly recommended.

A great day on the ocean in Mid March 2025 - Lilly and Gunner provided an amazing day and narrative. We were surrounded by Dolphins, saw multiple Pods of Whales and were in the middle of Galapagos sharks right at the side of the boat. My wife and I recommend Ocean Outfitters to all those who want a great experience.

Awesome experience for the whole 'ohana! - Lived here all my life & this was the first time we went on a marine life tour. I highly recommend this experience for both kama'aina & visitors! The staff were knowledgeable & went over & beyond to ensure our safety & a top notch experience. We saw so many whales, dolphins, flying fish, & sharks. It was truly amazing & an unforgettable experience with the 'ohana!

Whales - Amazing experience. The whales were active. One swam right under our zodiac! Our captain was terrific! We could tell the babies from their mother. Bottle nose dolphins were swimming with the whales.

Epic Whale Watching - This tour company was amazing! We had the best guides. Lily and crew were so knowledgeable about the whales and got just as excited as we did when we saw them. We were fortunate to see a mama and baby whale. Jacob made it even better by sending up his drone so we could see them bird's eye. EPIC!!

The best whale watching tour. - We had an amazing time with the amazing crew at Ocean Outfitters. We saw several whales, a Galapagos shark, a turtle and even some flying fish. The ladies were so knowledgeable and friendly and the music was spot on. Highly recommended

Completely Satisfied! - The experience and opportunity to be that close to marine life was exhilarating! We felt secure and entertained!

Great staff! - Unlucky on the whale viewing, but staff was great and our family enjoyed the shark viewing. Thanks! Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

A Cautionary Tale of the Marine Life Tour that Wasn’t - The boat ride over waves was fun and thrilling. Unfortunately, our marine life tour was compromised when the captain accommodated shark snorkelers from a previously canceled trip. What was supposed to be a "5-minute" stop ended up consuming nearly half of our tour time as we sat in rough seas watching others snorkel. Both families on board experienced seasickness, with children puking during this extended wait. The captain seemed dismissive, offering water only to rinse the boat rather than for the sick children, and merely assured us "we'd feel better once we started moving again" – which missed the point that we shouldn't have been sitting there that long in the first place. We understand marine life is unpredictable - we did briefly spot a sea turtle and whale spout in the distance, but only because a fellow passenger pointed them out while the captain seemed distracted with personal guests. It's reasonable to expect: 1) you'll get the tour you paid for, 2) the guide will be interactive and focused on spotting marine life, and 3) even if little is spotted, the guide will share interesting information about the area. Unfortunately, none of this happened. Safety concerns were also apparent. Life jackets weren't proactively offered for children despite the rough conditions that frequently lifted passengers from their seats. At one point, a storage compartment seat even popped open while someone was sitting on it. You can’t just tell kids to hang on and hope for the best. For the price, this tour delivered only half of what was promised. While the sharks were impressive, the experience fell short of expectations in terms of focus, safety, and value. Tip for future guests: Book another tour company, and take Dramamine.

Paid $100 for bumpy boat ride and didn't see a single animal - We had a Marine Life Tour booked for 9 am and recieved a phone call asking if we could move it to 4:45 pm. I asked if we'd still be able to see a lot of animals and they said "definitely, they're actually more active at that time" so we said yes. The company was not honest in this as throughout our night tour, the guides kept saying that the animals are not as active at night. Throughout the whole tour, we only saw 3 whale blowhole sprays in the distance and nothing else. No whales breaching the surface, no turtles, no sharks.
