Great trip! - The crew did a wonderful job trying to get us near whales. They did explain the whales are headed back north so there are fewer in the water at this time. Even still we were able to catch a glimpse of a mama and baby whale. The crew was very kind, super helpful. I would definitely recommend this crew!

We saw whales! - Great cruise boat to see the whales. It was so late in season we didn’t think we’d see any but we saw so many diving in and out the water. Spectacular to see. Carlos, JJ, and Boz we’re all a great crew.

Highly recommend! - Was an awesome whale watching cruise! It was really interesting hearing all the information about the whales. We got to hear the whales sing live with an underwater microphone, which was really cool! We were even lucky enough to see a mama whale breach a couple of times, followed by the baby breaching several times. The crew was really informative, had great customer service and seemed to genuinely love their jobs. Our teens enjoyed it. The price was great. Overall a wonderful experience that I would recommend to others!

Surrounded by whales - Captain took us right to the whales! We were surrounded by a group of males competing for a female. They were breaching and fin splashing and passed right in front of the boat. Awesome trip!

hawaiian 🌺 water excursion - We had a great time! Since it was the end of the season we only saw one whale 🐳. Your captain and deck hands were fun and we made the best of a windy whale-less afternoon. Thank you for a beautiful boat ride for our family.

Worth the time and money - Overall, it was a fun trip, and we saw some beautiful whales. I am disappointed that the information on the ticket are misleading. The ticket said complimentary parking at Maui Ocean Center, and it actually was $4.90 The ticket also said juice and soda are included, but it was $3. We don't mind paying a few bucks here and there, but we want accurate information.

Push to the front or miss out - Boat was in poor condition (full latrine so we got poop smell with our whales the whole trip; vinyl curtain straps were broken so our view was obstructed the whole time and the crew was apathetic about a creative solution). Astonishingly, the captain declined to rotate the boat at each sighting, creating a situation where one must rudely push one's way to the front, or miss out on the viewing. I chose to miss out on the viewing since my integrity is more important than the photos I wish I had gotten.
