What an amazing trip. We were blessed to see a pod of about 5 or 6 male whales competing. It was the most wildest thing I’ve seen and absolutely breathtaking. The crew was amazing and so informative. The raft was comfortable and the ride was smooth. So many great pics and videos. Can’t wait to come back again.

The trip was amazing, the crew was knowledgeable and truly enjoyed sharing the love for the humpback whales.

I would recommend the smaller raft experience over the larger boats as we were able to move quickly to a blow or splash. Our whales were active and engaged in making our experience wonderful. Thank you Captain Jill and your crew for an amazing memory.

Captain Jill and First Mate Danielle were amazing! This was the highlight of our Hawaii visit. Many moments to watch mama and new calf spout and swim. Jill is generous with her vast experience on the water, with the whales, connected with nature.

What a fun whale watching outing with Captain Jack and Danielle. We saw some amazing whale action and Captain Jack and Danielle kept it fun and educational. They were happy to inform us about whales, the geography and culture of Hawaii, and any other questions we had. I loved being 'eye level' with the whales and the boat, although full, did not feel crowded. So glad we did this activity and went with this company.

This was a fun trip! Boat was full, but not feeling overcrowded at all. Crew were really nice, too. We saw quite a few whales for being so early in the season.

We recently had the pleasure of going on a whale watching tour with a small, intimate 15-person raft, and it was an unforgettable experience! The smaller group size made the entire trip feel personal and relaxed, with plenty of room to move around and enjoy the view from all angles. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about marine life, sharing fascinating facts about the whales we encountered.

The crew was friendly and professional, ensuring that everyone was comfortable and had a great view. It was clear that they prioritized safety while also making sure we had an authentic and enriching experience. If you're looking for a more personal, intimate whale watching experience away from larger, more tourist-heavy boats, I highly recommend Hawaii Ocean Rafting. It was truly one of the most memorable wildlife experiences we’ve ever had.

Core memory achieved!!!! First and foremost, this locally owned company treats its customers like people and not numbers. It was very apparent with the crew Darryl (captain) and Sy. Incredibly friendly and did everything possible to make this a memory my wife and I will NEVER forget. Winds were up this day, but they continued to check with passengers to make sure all were good and wanted to continue to pursue the whales. Whether it was the double simultaneous breech we saw, the half dozen individual breeches, or the fact when we were heading back in and they stopped for an additional 15 minutes to watch a mother and baby who just happened to swim within 20 feet of our boat! Thank you Darryl and Sy, while Maui was awesome, this trip was unforgettable.
