Snorkling - The boat ride to the cove was fun. We saw a couple of whales, a mother and her calf. Also the boat ride back was informative. Obviously, the snorkling was enjoyable.

Excellent Tour - Captain Bryce was very knowledgeable about Hawaiian culture and his humor was hilarious and appreciated! They all worked so hard to make it a great experience for all! The extra time and education when we saw some whales was above and beyond.
