My first whale watching trip and my spouses second. Ocean sports spoiled me for all other whale watching trips. The crew was amazing, informative and attentive. We saw whales within the first 10 min of our trip. In the two hours we were out we saw so many breaches and were surrounded by 6 whales around the boat towards the end of our trip. The crew was very respectful in making sure we kept a safe distance from the whales as not to disturb them and when they surrounded us, turned the boat off until they moved on and we could safely move back to shore. This trip was incredible. I know I will probably never have an experience like this one again but I highly recommend Ocean Sports. They will take good care of you!

Well organized and comfortable. Accommodating crew and very customer oriented. Saw whales very quickly into trip and periodically throughout. Mother and calf Humpback came within 100 feet of boat. Way cool experience. Must do tour while in Kona area!

Barbara_F

The crew was great. The whale guide was great. A very pleasant experience. The whales and the dolphins were all cooperating.

Anna_G

The crew knew where whales had been spotted before we embarked, and we went right to a group of four humpbacks- a mother, calf, and two adult males sparring for the mother’s attention, according to our guide. We followed the foursome for the full duration of the tour until it was time to head back to shore. The crew was great- informative and attentive with refreahment offerings. Overall a fantastic experience for a first time whale watching!

Courtney_J

Boat was great, snacks and drinks available. Saw more whales than we could count. Everything was set up on time.

We really enjoyed our whale watch tour. Saw many whales without having to travel much distance. One whale came up right next to the stern of the boat. Great crew. The captain did a very good job navigating the swells to keep the boat as level as possible. Would definitely go again. Well organized, nice boat, knowledgeable crew.
