Pacific Whale Foundation Reviews Around the Web

    We had an absolutely incredible experience on this whale-watching tour! The captain and crew were not only super knowledgeable but also clearly passionate about what they do, which made the trip even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to see five different whales up close—within a stone’s throw of the boat! The 3-hour tour was the perfect amount of time to maximize our chances of seeing these amazing creatures. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough—it was unforgettable!

    If you want to whale watch, this is your to go spot.

    1. Open and close space in the boat with clear views.
    2. Takes about 2 hours including boarding.
    3. Good guides.
    4. Good views of sea and whales.
    5. Better go in January (as thousands of whales surface for brooding for a season).
    6. We went in December (3rd week), and it wasn’t what we expected. Very less whales as it’s not season or just started.
    7. They provide water in the boats for free.
    8. Pretty clean boat and huge with open upper deck.

    We did an early season whale tour and figured we might miss the whales but would still enjoy the ride. We were able to see the first calf of the season and it's momma... super special. The staff were all marine biologists of some form and we loved getting to ask questions about the local wildlife. Loved watching the flying fish that kept the trip exciting.

    The entire experience was very nice. They got a very good check-in store, very good boat. The captain and the staff are very funny and thoughtful. We saw at least 10 whales on our trip and even a breaching whale. Well, not a legendary breaching, but still. It was quite a wonderful experience!

    It was one of my favorite activities on the island. I prefer this over Luau. But take Dramamine if you need it. I would have suffered otherwise. The sun is intense so prepare with hats and plenty of sunscreen. We saw a couple of whales and it was so majestic against the blue ocean. Their song calling is touching too. Claire was our guide and she was awesome. She answered questions and mentioned interesting history. The great thing is that company uses funds for whale research and conservation. So your money is going for a great cause. I got all my souvenirs and gifts at the eco shop and felt good spending my money there. These creatures are magical.
