I understand that rules...
Kathy_B, Apr 2022
I understand that rules are in place for a reason but there needs to be a place for exceptions. I put in the wrong date (the date I was leaving vs the day before). I reached out a few minutes shy of 24 hours and explained my situation and asked if I could get a refund. I got the form letter response that basically said nope, tough sh#*. Very disappointing.
Response from Host, Apr 2022
We are so sorry to hear about this! I'm sure our agents did not give you that exact response. Hopefully you enjoyed your Maui vacation regardless.
Amazing!!

The Calypso whale watching crew is awesome! Thank you for recommending this Maui activity.
Sodas and juices are NOT included
Steve_A, Mar 2022
We had a great time chasing whales. It is the end of the season, so we had lower expectations but were pleasantly surprised to see several groups of whales. I would have given the experience five stars except for the description on Viator said sodas and juices were included, but they actually were not. Although not a large expense it left a little bit of a bad taste.

Humpback whales up close!!!
chelsea_g, Feb 2020
Amazing trip aboard the Calypso! My family of 5 had the most amazing time seeing the whales up close and personal! Not only did a big pod of whales cross our paths, but we were lucky and were able to see some of them through the glass bottom of the boat! Truly amazing to see these grand creatures! Staff was great, friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely book again! 2/15/20
