Just booked a whale watch tour for my anniversary—any tips?

I just surprised my partner with a Humpback Whale Watch experience on the Big Island! We're going in February, and I'm so excited. I know the chances of seeing whales are high then, but what else should we prepare for? Any tips on what to bring or how early to arrive? We’re staying in Kailua-Kona, so I hope it’s not too far to get there!

Anyone seen whales on this tour? How was it?

Thinking of booking the Humpback Whale Watch for my dad’s birthday. He loves whales and this would be such a cool gift! Just wondering if anyone’s actually done this and what the experience was like. Did you see whales? Any tips?
