Traveler reviews
Good company for a whale excursion
This was my final whale watch before having to leave Maui and return to the New England winter. We saw many whales breaching and tail slapping. Loved all the activity and being out as the sun was setting was extra special. A very enjoyable trip. Were (when) I am able to return I would book with this company again but perhaps on their 12 person boat. I don’t think the extra cost of a 6 person experience was worth it to me.
Great
Really a great trip. Saw whales, turtles. Hosts were very good. A really good morning.
Saw lots of whales!
Amazing experience on the 2.5 hour ultimate whale-watching tour from Mala on the Aloha Kai with Derek and Lauren. Saw many whales close up including an active mother/calf and a large competition group. So nice being on smaller boat with only 2 other guests in addition to our family of 4. Derek and Lauren were extremely pleasant and knowledgeable.
Perfect way to see whales
We took the three hour whale watch out of Mala Ramp for six people. Small boat but great whale sightings!!! Sarah was our naturalist and Derrick (?) the captain. We saw many whales and their calf’s. Highly recommend!
VIATOR Can't Be Trusted to be Accurate
This was not as described on Viator. VIATOR listed snorkeling, sun screen, water provided, equipment provided--all NOT on the WHALE WATCH trip. Also VIATOR photos showed a boat with shaded cover--not the open pontoon we were given. BOOK DIRECTLY with the company--the info is accurate in their site. It was a good experience, and the company did all they could do. But this was not what we thought we signed up to do.
