Awesome Whale Watching Tour - My sister & I thoroughly enjoyed the whale watching boat tour. Captain Devin and Crewman Isaiah were helpful and friendly. The weather was clear & sunny and the ocean was gently rolling. The whales were in a playful mood. It was exciting to see the whales up close. We would wholeheartedly recommend this tour. Suggest bringing at least two cameras and have them ready to go at a moment’s notice. Best to take short video rather than try to take photos. Mahalo nui loa, Hilo Ocean Adventures!

Hands Down the BEST whale watch tour on the Big Island - What confirms the quality of this tour is that 2 days after this one we went on the Body Glove whale watch tour out of Kailuah Kona. There was simply no comparison. This tour blew Body Glove away in every possible aspect. The crew were nicer and much more informative. They actually searched for whales and were happy to move from one group of whales to another. The Body Glove tour found 3 whales 100 yards from shore, cut the engines and drifted for 1-1/2 hours. The whales disappeared after 30 minutes. They seemed more interested in conserving fuel than finding whales. I should add that I used to work for the Sea Shepherd and Paul Watson. I have probably been on over 100 whale watch tours all over the USA. I know a good one from a bad one. This one was very good. Worth every penny. When compared side by side to the more popular, more expensive Body Glove tour it really rises above. THIS IS THE TOUR YOU WANT TO TAKE ON THE BIG ISLAND. It is worth the drive from Kona.
