Epic Whale Watching - This tour company was amazing! We had the best guides. Lily and crew were so knowledgeable about the whales and got just as excited as we did when we saw them. We were fortunate to see a mama and baby whale. Jacob made it even better by sending up his drone so we could see them bird's eye. EPIC!!

The best whale watching tour. - We had an amazing time with the amazing crew at Ocean Outfitters. We saw several whales, a Galapagos shark, a turtle and even some flying fish. The ladies were so knowledgeable and friendly and the music was spot on. Highly recommended

They rock - Great tour, we booked the whale watching tour unfortunately we didn’t get to see any but we did saw some sharks and had a great experience all along the boat was nice not the biggest but I feel it was better than the other boats and the staff it’s awesome , Tyler was our capital along with this beautiful lady (I didn’t catch her name ) they were both awesome. This was the activity that my kids enjoyed the most from our trip hand down I will recommend it and let’s not forget the music it makes the experience even better .

Everything we expected and more! - It did not disappoint. From the get-go, our captains, Jules and Jen were committed to knowing what we hoped to see and experience and making it happen. We saw turtles, dolphins, and, yep, sharks, and they helped us learn about the North Shore and interesting information along the way. We loved that they had as much fun as we did and clearly loved their jobs. With kids from 24 - 15, everyone walked away with permanent smiles. Thank you for a beautiful memory that will last a lifetime.

Wild ride - but no wildlife - The description on Viator really needs to be updated. By stating there are bathrooms on board, I was lead to believe this was a bigger boat that would have normal seating (not straddling like riding a horse) and a shaded area for my 80 year old mother. The trip out was extremely rough, like a roller coaster ride, and we got pretty wet. There was also a suggestion on the Viator site that we would be going into coves in search of wildlife. I don’t think any place we went was considered a cove. We parked in front of Waimea bay for a bit, and drove by what was called bird sh rock, and then out to a place to bait sharks. The sharks, and a bird that flew by were the only wildlife we saw. If my mother weren’t with us, I prob’ly would have enjoyed the boat ride… and if the description was more accurate I would have chosen another tour for her.

Paid $100 for bumpy boat ride and didn't see a single animal - We had a Marine Life Tour booked for 9 am and recieved a phone call asking if we could move it to 4:45 pm. I asked if we'd still be able to see a lot of animals and they said "definitely, they're actually more active at that time" so we said yes. The company was not honest in this as throughout our night tour, the guides kept saying that the animals are not as active at night. Throughout the whole tour, we only saw 3 whale blowhole sprays in the distance and nothing else. No whales breaching the surface, no turtles, no sharks.

Horrible experience!!!!!!!!!! - We booked a whale watching tour that was canceled and turned into a shark diving tour then canceled all together. Rebooked as a shark tour thinking we still had a whale watching tour. No communication reached out via text and phone with no response. Still charged full price and never went on tour.
