My family and I had a fabulous whale watching tour with Lorraine and Sage yesterday. It is late in the season so I thought we’d have a 50/50 chance of seeing any whales but we saw 3! A mother and bab…Full review by Spangler212

Q:
A review by “GnarGnarPowPow” for the Adventure X Boat Tours was overall positive with the exception of being disappointed in the snorkeling not due to X Boat Tours but due to “Hawaiian restrictions on snorkeling options”. Can anyone elaborate on what this might entail? GnarGnar is not currently accepting any P questions according to Trip Advisor.
A:
Perhaps they're referring to how bothersome of the dolphins you can be? Other than that, can't think what they're talking about. We got dropped off for three passes through the dolphin …

Perhaps they're referring to how bothersome of the dolphins you can be? Other than that, can't think what they're talking about. We got dropped off for three passes through the dolphin pod. Past a certain point in the day (i.e. getting closer to lunch time) they don't want to be interacting with the dolphins because that's when the dolphins typically start entering a sleep cycle, and you need to leave them alone. Note: there is talk about changing whether or not tour companies will still be allowed to do this at all. You might want to call the company before your trip and verify that nothing has changed. As long as the company says they are still allowed to do it, I stand behind my original review: this was a great company to go out and try to swim with the dolphins, one of the best you're likely to find in that area (or likely any other).

Hi, do you offer scuba diving?
A:
Unfortunately we do not do Scuba diving. Kohala divers or Blue Wilderness will be your best bet! Mahalo

Q:
What is the boat size you guys use? And rough wave size you “typically” deal with? Most of my whale watches have been out of Gloucester mass, in 7-8 foot waves. I have issues with sea sickness and it about killed me last time, just seeing if it’s a little more calm there?
A:
Boat capacity for our trip was 20. We had 11 and there was lots of extra room. Waters are relatively calm. I have a tendency for motion sickness and had zero issues on this trip. I think …

Boat capacity for our trip was 20. We had 11 and there was lots of extra room. Waters are relatively calm. I have a tendency for motion sickness and had zero issues on this trip. I think part of it is the crew mixes up the powered movement with very short drifts, and it makes that part easy.

Q:
Hi. Is the price the same for each person whether they swim with the dolphins, or is there a seperate price for one who just is along for the ride with their spouse. Do you pick up at the hilton hotel?
A:
I agree we had to make our own way there and don't know if they offer a non swimming price.

I don't know, but it probably is not too safe for such a young child. The seating is on pontoons and very bumpy and it might be very hard to hang on yourself and hold a child at the same time. I could not do it. Call and ask however.
