Tasty cocktails, friendly crew, and beautiful sunset with bonus humpbacks! - Our family of 6 had a wonderful experience! We sailed on the power catamaran Alala out of Kawaihae Harbor in early March, and enjoyed delicious cocktails (especially the ube coladas!) and tasty snacks, and got to see a beautiful sunset, flying fish, and at least three humpack whales including a mom, baby and chaperone. The crew was so friendly and knowledgable, and made the whole sunset cruise unforgettable.

Great crew! - The crew was great. We’ve been on quite a few sunset/whale watching sails. This was the first time they put a device in the water, so we could hear the whales. It was so cool. Very personable, knowledgeable and accommodating staff. Recommended.

Whale season must! - The time flew by! Great option to see during whale season there were so many out there and was definitely the highlight of the tour! The crew was very accommodating and refilling everyone’s drinks. Great sights off the Kona coast!

Excellent Whale watching cruise - The boat was clean and comfortable. Great fruit and cheese with cocktails to enjoy as we watched whales. Our baby was allowed to come aboard and he had a great time. We saw a whale every 3-5 minutes and was even surprised when one surfaced right next to the boat and showed his fluke! The crew was very knowledgeable and explained many facts and theories about whale behavior. Can’t wait to go again!

Beautiful, Relaxing - No whales but that was ok it’s early in the season. Still had a wonderful time out on the water watching the sunset. The staff was excellent and made the trip enjoyable. Would recommend this trip and company for all the services they provide.

Not Honorable - Went on the sunset whale cruise. Before we left they said, if you don’t see whales well either book you on another tour in the future or give you a gift certificate. Our tour was super lame. We barely went out into the ocean, and only stayed in the immediate area of the harbor. I’ve gone on other whale tours and usually the crews of different boats are in communication on the radio about where the whales are and the boat is capable of moving at high speeds to go find the whales. this didn’t happen on this trip. Then the tour operator was going to honor their grantee. We were in a hurry so I said I’d follow up for the gift certificate or reschedule and now they aren’t honoring it. Don’t recommend this tour operator.

Canceled Cruise - It was canceled by the company with no explanation why. Weather? Other reason? Don’t know. All I know is the weather was good that afternoon.
