Great crew and exceptional activities

We went out for the eight A.M. whale watching tour. Sadly, we did not get to see any Wallace. The company is so fantastic. They let you come back out on the second sailing later that day. Or on another day. Later in the week and try again. So we came back at two P.M. and went out and we got to see the Wallace. The staff and the crew are absolutely fantastic. So much so that I booked snorkeling with them later in the week. They also give a 20% discount if you book another activity with them. The boat has a blow up slide and jumping platform that you jump from during snorkeling.

Operator response

Thank you so much for sharing your experience, Tiffany! While we’re sorry the whales didn’t make an appearance on your first trip, we’re so glad you were able to come back out and catch them later, that’s exactly why we offer our complimentary re-ride policy. It means a lot to hear that our crew made such a great impression. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to the team. We’re also thrilled you decided to join us again for snorkeling, that’s always a guest favorite, especially with the slide and jump platform! We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you back again for more adventures on the water

Great tour

We went on the last week of the whale watching season and saw a group of roughly 7 whales. Great experience.

Great company with a great crew

We went in the morning and didn’t see any whales. They let us rebook for later that afternoon. We did get to see whales our second time around. They also let you have 20% off any other excursions you book with them while there. After whale watching I was able to book snorkeling for only $65 dollars. They have a big inflatable slide you can slide off the boat into the water. They offer free mai thai, soda, water, and chips. The crew was amazing and made each trip fun.

Operator response

Aloha, Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We are so glad you took advantage of the opportunity to come back out with us and were able to see whales on your second trip. Those moments are always worth the wait. It is great to hear you also enjoyed the snorkeling experience and were able to take advantage of the discount on another activity. We love being able to offer our guests more ways to enjoy their time on the water. We are happy you had fun with the slide and enjoyed the complimentary drinks and snacks as well. Most importantly, we appreciate your kind words about our crew. Making each trip enjoyable and memorable is what we strive for. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon. Mahalo, The Go Hawaii Watersports Team

Great Experience

Great Tour, while we didn't get to see an actual whale, we did get to see spinning dolphins, a turtle and a seal. We saw the water blow spout of the whale but they never came out of the water. The staff was very informative. Would do this again

Operator response

Aloha, Thank you for your kind review. We are glad to hear you had a great tour and were able to see spinning dolphins, a turtle, and even a seal. Those are always special sightings out on the water. While we understand it can be a bit disappointing not to see a whale fully surface, catching a glimpse of the spout is still an exciting moment, and we are happy you were able to experience that. It is great to know our staff made the trip informative and enjoyable. We truly appreciate your feedback and are glad to hear you would join us again. Mahalo, The Go Hawaii Watersports Team

Whales and more!

This boat and crew are awesome… they do there best to put you on whales, but right out the gate we saw dolphins doing a show and Sea turtles cruising. We did see some spouts and one hump but due to bad weather recently the whales were very shy. On the way back to dock we had an up close encounter with a monk seal right at the boat.

Operator response

Aloha, Thank you so much for your great review. We are glad to hear you had an awesome experience with both our boat and crew. It sounds like you had an incredible variety of wildlife sightings, from dolphins and sea turtles to a monk seal right near the boat. Those moments are always unforgettable. While whale activity can vary, especially with recent weather conditions, we are happy you were still able to catch some spouts and a glimpse of one. We truly appreciate your understanding and kind words about our crew doing their best to find the whales. We hope to welcome you back again for another adventure on the water.
