3.00The CREW was amazing. Only saw one whale, way off in the distance, We never got close enough to make it worthwhile though. Would only go again if different month and we were guaranteed to see something

5.00We had an amazing time. The excursion had to start at 8 am and it didn’t. Captain Jonny( I might forgot the name) was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Peter and Alex helped him. We saw whales number of times
Great trip, beautiful views and, Alexio and the crew were awesome hosts.

5.00It was a great experience. The boat ride was nice and the guys were very entertaining with their puns. My bucket list is to whale watch. Although I was able to see some blow holes and a whale tail. I was looking forward to seeing a whale jump out of the water. Maybe next time.
A must see!

5.00Such a fun experience! The whales were very active when we went out. We saw a lot of whales from a far. I do wish we couldve seen them closer but, we didnt want to get to close understandably. Thanks to our crew for taking great care of us!

5.00Very exciting. Loves the boat ride. The wind in our faces made us feel free and alive. Kind of like we were flying Just wished to have had a better whale sighting
No whales but still worth it

4.00Although no whales were spotted, we enjoyed the boat ride and seeing Honolulu for the sea and the crew pointed out interesting things we could see
Saw a Breached Whale! And loved the boat ride and crew!

5.00My whole group of 8 mamas adored our crew. Alexio was so great as captain. Very hospitable, kind, honest, funny, and gave good facts. (I would’ve loved even more facts of the city, more on the whales and marine life, Hawaiian culture, etc.) Sheymus was funny and personable as well. Loved his reaction when the humpback we were following breached at the end of his jokes. It was hilarious. We were so blessed for nature to give us that gift of the whale breaching. Quite rare, only 5% of the time, according to our great guides. And I absolutely loved the boat ride! If you like rollercoasters, go to the front and pretend you are doing the classic Titanic stance! It was the best! So fun. And John was hilarious too as our first point of contact. They were a great group of guys and have been close friends for a long time. Great atmosphere. I enjoyed their playlist, and my gfs and I sang and danced, but I think it could be improved with some more hit songs, or classic Hawaiian ukulele songs, OR hits remixed with the uke! That would be bomb and make it feel special for where you are whale watching. I def recommend this excursion. Great price and great two hours on the sea. Great view of Diamond Head too!! So gorgeous and velvety green. We went very beginning March.
