This was a great experience. Saw whales and dolphins. Boat was great since it was small and just about 20 people. Whales

So intimate! Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and ooze love for all sea creatures. Nothing like a morning on the water with dolphins and whales. Take your non-drowsy motion sickness meds before you get there because you will float on the waves when you are watching the shows. Highly recommend hanging for lunch in Lahaina- this community is rebounding and it’s lovely!

Lexi and Megan were great guides. The boat ride was so much fun. Whale watching is a game of patience, timing, and luck; we did still get to see some whales of varying levels of up close. The guides were very knowledgeable and personable. You don't get very wet on the boat. Even though the company is small, they were very organized. Twelve people is the max I would recommend for a craft this size; we were snug on the raft, but not overcrowded. Overall, it was a great trip and I would highly reco

The business made sure we had a great experience while also showing great respect for the whales/dolphins.

The trip was good. I wouldn’t say great. I did appreciate that when an emergency came up last minute, they allowed us to reschedule. However, as far as the tour itself, I found it difficult to hear just about everything the captain or marine biologist were saying. They needed to speak louder or use a microphone. I would have appreciated more information on the whales and even getting to hear them more. I did request to hear them at one point and they put the microphone out for about 45 seconds.

We did the whale watching trip during our trip to Lahaina. It was amazing, pretty small boat, about 12 passengers. Although it was very rough getting out of the harbor, we got down to the south coast of Maui pretty quickly, and found a humpback and her calf. Our crew thought the calf was likely under a week old, and since they were mostly on the surface, we could see a lot. Then we found a whale and a calf followed by a couple males, they came a bit closer to us. We had a treat when the males bo

We had a great time with up close whale encounters throughout the trip. Jill and Una were very friendly and informative. We have been on several whale tours and would rate this at or near the top.

Experience of a lifetime!! Captain Derek and his first mate were excellent! The whales came so close to the boat we could smell their breath as the exhaled.

Ultimate Indeed! It’s not everyday you get close up and personal with humpbacks. I was even able to take a selfie with a female humpback. Captain Johnny and Casey were extremely knowledgeable about whales. They were also dedicated in making sure we all had amazing whale encounters. And we sure did.
