Epic! - Read reviews, was hoping for a great experience, see a few whales and check it off our bucket list. Hands down one of the best experiences ever. We understand it's not the norm but we saw whales from afar, we saw whales pretty close and we had a whale come and meet us! The boat, the crew and the experience, top notch! We ended up spend a good part of the rest of our day just hanging out on the beach they picked us up on because it was so nice.

Great Morning Whale Watching in Waikoloa - We had a great morning on the ocean looking for whales with Hawaii Nautical. We were picked up on the beach at A-Bay and saw our first whale in the distance within ten minutes. Over the next 90 minutes we saw several more, including a mother and baby. The crew went the extra mile for us, staying ten minutes late to see a couple of whales late in the trip.

Beautiful time on A-bay. - Captain Cash B was personable and professional. The whales put on a great show. We left on time and returned on time. Weather was perfect. Enjoyed the powerboat which was very comfortable. Wear casual clothes and sun glasses. Read the description so you know what to expect. Have to climb 3 steps ladder to get on boat. Beware if you have mobility issues. We had a blast and would go again.

Friendly whale encounter! - The trip began on time and we got our monies worth! We lucked out to have a male whale hang out with us for at least 10 minutes. He visited both sides of the boat and gave us quite the show!

What whales? - If you’ve used Triology nothing like it. Cost should be cheaper due to no food nor drinks served. Whale sighting of a blow or a tail over 100 yards for the price is not a whale sighting. Very disappointing .
