Even when guests don't spot whales, they still report having a great time thanks to the crew's enthusiasm and professionalism in finding other marine life to enjoy.
My wife and I had two amazing trips, one whale watching in the morning, and one snorkeling in the afternoon. Same amazing crew for both trips, and they were all top notch. Definitely spreading the word for anyone visiting Honolulu to check them out!
