The tour was amazing! We saw whales and oceanic white tip shark! Captain Marco is very knowledgeable, funny, and did a very good job. What an experience! We'll definitely do it again.

Our trip was awesome..".B" our captain was delightful. We had the privilegde of spending about 15 minutes with a pod of 4-5 beaked cuviet whales. It is a rare sighting,the best she ir anyone else on the raft had ever seen. They.came right up to zodiac to check us out..so close we could have touched them. Absolutely amazing. The rest of the tour was interesting and informative. It was obvious that there was every cobcern for our safety and enjoyment. Hoghtly recommended!

Had a cancelation through phone message and email way before 48 hrs that is necessary and they will not refund me even with proof that this was done before the 48hrs that is in their policy. very dishonest.

Colin and Holly were just wonderful. I did not expect to see hundreds of melon headed whales and Fraser's dolphins. Mother nature showed up graciously and with glory. Words cannot express this awesome experience. Colin and Holly are great souls and cannot express my gratitude to you. You are the true guardians of our planet . They showed immense respect to these wonderful creatures and the dolphins followed our boat for quite a distance all around us !!

We (my wife, I, our friends Monica & Ron) had many humpback whale sightings (15-20), 3-4 different dolphin species and numerous birds. The crew was professional, informative and funny!

We got to see a pod of Sperm Whales. Our guide Cory and Mia went the extra mile to get us to the pod of Sperm Whales even though our tour time was almost up. Excellent Service

4+ hours on a beautiful day on the water. The trip exceeded my expectations. I’m was thrilled to find a Zodiac excursion that wasn’t snorkeling (although we did get in the water and had that option). We were lucky to see Turtle, dolphins and a whale along with beautiful shoreline.

This has been the highlight of my Hawaiian vacation for many years! I have taken several excursions with Captain Zodiac over the years and ALWAYS extremely happy with the adventure!

We did their pelagic experience and then a private charter. For the pelagic tour we went out searching for, well, anything we could find, and then ended the tour with a snorkel in a quiet bay with barely anybody around.
Then we went on a private charter to celebrate my sons graduation (who didn't want a graduation party). I wanted to have a special lunch for him, and they went above and beyond creating a great meal, down to the personalized cake which we ate in a calm, secluded bay. As we were finishing a superpod of dolphins appeared to help in the celebration.
Captain Chuck took us to places we didn't even know existed, had an amazing snorkel in another pretty much empty bay.
All in all they really did a great job of making this special for my son who was incredibly happy and said it was the greatest party he could have imagined.
