We're so glad you had the best experience onboard with us!! Thank you so much for your 5 star review
Amazing experience with educated and fun staff. Lovely boat big enough to move around but small enough to get up close and personal with the whales. There was enough room to sit or stand around the edge for a closer view. We saw plenty of whales and our skipper/guide knew a lot about the mammals. Highly recommended
Thank you so much for your 5 star review and kind words Caroline! We're so glad you had an amazing and educational experience onboard with us
What an unbelievable experience! Kokomo Cruises run a really excellent excursion. We trailed 6 humpbacks, who seemed to be showing off in front of our boat so we got our moneys worth 🤣 the captain providing his expert knowledge made the experience even better.

Absolutely magical! We had a magnificent time and were lucky enough to see 2 different whale pods with calves as well as a couple of dolphins. It was a wonderful cruise and the crew were fantastic. Highly recommend!
Glad you had a whale of a time onboard with us Deborah! Thank you so much for your 5 star review
Local business full of great knowledge about the incredible humpbacks and knew how to navigate them well. The staff was incredible, friendly & attentive which was very much appreciated. We saw 12+ humpbacks including a baby calf breaching & a rarer grey humpback. The boat size was optimal, the group was small and had great space for everyone to enjoy the whales without crowds. The boat was also the best size if you are worried about any seasickness tendencies. Highly recommend, thank you Kokomo Cruises!
We're so glad you go to see so many whales onboard with us. Thank you so much for your very kind words and 5 star review!!
Fantastic trip on a smaller boat so could get a bit closer to the whale’s. friendly crew who went to great effort to ensure we saw whales on our trip had the added bonus of seeing a pod of dolphins as well. Staff also offered sea sickness tablets prior to departure.
Thank you so much for your kind words and 5 star review! We're so pleased you had a fantastic trip onboard with us
