5.00Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. This two-hour whale watching tour was worth every minute. Captain Jaime, along with John and Seamus, made the trip unforgettable. The crew brought incredible energy with nonstop laughs, hilarious jokes, spontaneous dancing, and genuinely great conversation that made everyone feel welcome and relaxed the moment we stepped on board. On top of the amazing atmosphere, we were lucky enough to see several whales up close, including some truly breathtaking moments that felt surreal. The crew was knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly passionate about what they do, which made the experience even more meaningful. This was the perfect mix of fun, professionalism, and once-in-a-lifetime wildlife viewing. If you are considering whale watching in Waikiki, this is the tour to book. I would do it again in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Oahu. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great morning on the water!

5.00Jamie, Alex and Peter were awesome. Best boat on the water for whale tours. We were the first to see a whale then the other boats followed us! It was a great day. Highly recommend the trip.

5.00Captain Jaime and crew shamus and John were fantastic! Friendly and fun. We saw about 4-5 whales blow water out the blow hole and splash their tails unfortunately we didn't see them breach and do a 180 spin jump but still great experience. Admission was also reasonable for the 2 hour adventure. The boat was not crowded which was nice. Boat was clean. I highly recommend this tour if your looking for a whale watching experience. We did it at 10:30 am for reference and the folks who did the tour before us also said they saw 4-5 whales.
A Great Time!

5.00We had a great time. Captain Jamie, Alex and Peter were an awesome crew. We saw several spouts, multiple whale breaches including a mama and her calf, and 5 tails. Would definitely do it again.
Beautiful trip!

We got close! About 40 feet from a breach multiple times.

5.00Our crew kept the experience fun and interactive while we hunted for whale sights! Funny jokes and a relaxed vibe as everyone had high expectations of seeing our first whale. We ended up having around 5 sights of whales breaching and flipping up their tails. Thanks John, Tyler & Brian!
Whale of a time

5.00We saw spinner dolphins and actually saw whales, but they were quite a distance away. The crew kept it interesting with non-stop humor. Well, even if you don’t see a humpback breach right in front of you, it’s still a fun trip and was great to be out on the ocean. A whale of a time.
What Wonderful Experience
