Short Review: Great tour made possible by knowledgeable and friendly tour host. Worth the time and money.
Longer Review: We went on a mid-day trip with the awesome captain and tour narrator Jim. Also helping was another staff member Jen. She helped facilitate people who wanted photos taken, attracting fish with fish food, and in general answering questions, pointing out things of interest, etc.
Jim kept up a tour monologue almost as soon as he backed the craft out of the slip. Very knowledgeable info on local attractions, dining, history, etc. We went out to roughly about where the Moana Surfrider resort is before turning around.
During the outing we saw several turtles, dolphins, fish, and a sunken ship.

That happened with this cool looking needle nose fish, whales, and other turtles - we saw so much! Random facts I learned from Jason - humpback whales summer in Hawaii and Baja, Diamondhead was a vent for a much larger volcano, male turtles have longer tails, good places to eat lunch nearby⦠just a wealth of info. We went at the end of March and saw a mama whale with her calf - whale tail and all. Was debating between going whale watching and the glass bottom - did the latter because I wanted something shorter⦠and I got two for the price of one! Oh and I left my bag on the boat and Kalama ran out to bring it to me....
