Shelby and Ashley were fantastic drivers and guides! So knowledgeable and fun - they knew our youngest kiddo wanted to see dolphins so made it a point to find them… AND we got to see Humpbacks so close to the boat! Such a small boat with people that truly love their job really made for the most wonderful experience!

The experience of watching 40 foot (12 meter) whales from a 24 foot (7 meter) Zodiac raft is something you'll never forget! Following Hawaiian Marine Park laws of stopping at least 100 yards (90 meters) away from these magnificent animals, you get a close up look at the migrating humpback whales. It is not uncommon for them to be curious about the raft and come right under the boat!

Second time and they deliver! Marco and team were so knowledgeable, respectful, and tried hard to get us the best possible experience! In the end, we saw humpbacks and had dolphin playtime in our wake!

Late December and we saw many whales. Even a baby breaching the water even with it being early in the migration season down from Alaska Great knowledgeable guides.

This was a great experience. Shelby was our captain and Cam was the crew. Both were sociable and knowledgeable. We got very lucky and had some great whale sightings. Shelby did a great job of getting us on the whales and getting us as close as allowed without breaking the rules on distance. We also saw spinner dolphins. I’ve done the catamaran whale watching tour and this zodiac boat whale watching tour. If you have medical issues I recommend the catamaran, but if you don’t have medical restrictions the zodiac is the way to go!

This is a great tour with a knowledgeable crew. Riding in the Zodiac boat was exciting and you felt close to the ocean. We were able to see whales and the crew knew how to watch for them to reappear. This paid off with seeing two whales at once while both were slapping their tails a few times. You will have a great time.
