Wow! What a whale watching adventure

We took one of the rafting whale watching tours. What a treat. We saw so many whales breaching that it took our breaths away. If you want to go whale watching, this is the way to do it. Small group ensures that you can see...More

Thank you for pointing out the group/vessel size. There is something about being to close to the water when whale watching, never looking over anyone’s shoulder. Mahalo for taking the time to leave us a review and for choosing us in the first place 🙏

Best little Whale boat in town!

We have been on whale watches before on large vessels, but this boat was so much more fun!! You felt like you were part of the action, instead of watching from a far. My daughter and I had a great time with Linda and Jenna!!...More

Magical morning of whale watching

Our two-hour whale watching trip was absolutely perfect: the guides found multiple humpbacks who treated us to waves with their fins, tail-slaps and even spectacular jumps out of the water. While the sightings were great, we were prepared for nothing more than a boat ride...More
