What a lovely island. Went on a cruise, bit disappointed at first, thought late April weather would be good, siling from LA 24TH April it was cold, two days at sea before it warmed up. Hilo rained worse than back home.

Even though it is late in the season for whale watching this group made it happen. We had a great experience with a terrific crew. My husband has a disability & the guys on board went out if their way to assist my husband & me. We would definitely book with them again!

I have never seen so wonderful coloured fish. And it's so amazing to watch sharks and rays so close. If you're not able to go in a submarine or snorkel that place is to be seen

Great tour...lots of little known whale factoids courtesy of the naturalist. Nice trip,despite the chop; captain knew just where to idle out of the wind and the worst rocking. well worth the cost...mom and baby whales jumping everywhere!!

We took the 7:30 am whale watching cruise & saw dozens of whales. The staff were very knowledgeable with whale facts & education. The cruise was fantastic ! Due to the early hour, the price was only 24.00 including tax per person. Kids under 6 were free. I highly recommend the tour.

We try to snorkel whenever we visit a place where snorkeling is known to be good. We had signed up for this trip while on our cruise ship. We tendered in Maui and our trip was supposed to go to Molokini Crater, but when we got to the dock the captain informed us that there were gale force winds at... More

This was my favorite of all the wonderful things to do in Maui. The price is fantastic for all you see, and knowing the project helps to support the animals is a plus. The day we went out we had a bonus of having our boat surrounded by hundreds of Spinner Dolphins that played alongside the boat as if racing... More

The cocktail cruise was such a great time! So many good sunset photo ops and the crew was polite and entertaining. Had the chance to see multiple whales and danced the night away with the awesome performer Josh! The pupus were delicious as well. DAKINE!!!!

Our whale watching tour for the family was fun, but the big ships used by this group are slow and so getting to the whales while they are 'performing' is a little slow. We kept arriving just as the whales would dive again. We did see plenty of whales and the advantage is that the bigger ships certainly bounce less... More

We went on a tour the day before at the East end harbor and were amazed.Then we tried this one. WOW. I'm glad we did the other one first because it would have been a let down. We did the 7 AM tour 'cus we heard the early morning was better. Well worth getting up early! We had 4 whales... More
