Considering gifting a private whale watching trip – worth it?

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about getting a private whale watching trip from Ko Olina for my parents’ anniversary. Has anyone done this with MANA Cruises? I love that it’s just for 6 people since they’ll feel special. Plus, I heard you can listen to the whales with a hydrophone! What should I expect in terms of the experience, and is it suitable for my 10-year-old sister?

Whale watching trip thoughts?

I’m planning a surprise trip for my husband’s birthday, and I’m torn between this whale watching experience and something else. We’ve never done a private tour, and it sounds amazing! How's the wildlife viewing? Will we get to see a lot of whales?
