Best day ever - I saw many dolphins swam in the pots and two of humpback whales. It was so amazing! Weather is perfect, also Hawaii Nautical's captain and crew were so nice and kind.

Thumbs up - Amazing crew and fun trip. Got to see a pod of whales for almost an hour. Everyone on the boat seemed to really enjoy it.

Wonderful Trip - We had a wonderful time and saw Pilot Whales and Dolphins that the crew was very excited to see. Four of the six tickets were a rebooking of a whale watch tour we booked in March 2023 where we did not see any wild life.

So many whales! - We got to see lots of whales! Probably at least ten different sightings of whales in a 90 minute timespan, and very up close, too. Crew was friendly and helpful and answered all of our questions about whales, and had laser vision when it came to spotting whales in the distance to drive up to. The boat is docked on the north side of the bay -- we got confused and thought the piers would be in alphabetical order but actually F is first, so don't get off by the park (although it is a perfectly fine park).

Ok boat ride on whale watch. Wish it could have been better. - Seeing a “small glimpse (barely anything)”, of humpback whales (about 3 times: (2) times, barely the back and whale blew, and (1) tail flute exploding above the water), during a 2-hour timeframe, was bit of a disappointment. It would have been nice to see more action, or at least go out and finding more action. Overall, it was nice, but for the cost of the boat ride, just wished it was much better rewarding.

The ride itself was... - The ride itself was pleasant but I don’t feel we went out far enough to encounter them. Felt like we were in charge of sighting whales rather than the guides.
