“Read this: absolute joke of an operation. They own no boats. They rent or borrow boats from other companies that are not full. So everyday they hope that other companies will have availability for their customers. Despite booking and paying 4 months in advance my party of two was left behind on the walk to the dock because a party of 3 would make it the boat maximum and another $50 in profit. Our day was ruined because of their disregard for planning and if you read other reviews this happens frequently. DO NOT BOOK HERE WITH HAWAII BOAT TOURS KOTOR. Go to the docks and book with an operator…”
