Awesome adventure!

5.00I had a fabulous time! We saw 3 whales, one of which was a baby, estimated to be about a month old. They really put on a show! A lot of fin flaps and slaps, along with some breeches. The captain and crew were the best! Will definitely go on another adventure with Pink Sails!
Amazing time!

5.00We saw 6-7 whales pretty much the entire two hours. The crew was extremely entertaining. We did get some sun so make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen. There is a bar with alcohol, snacks, soda, and water.
Fun with or without whales.

5.00Excellent experience. Wasn’t sure we’d see whales the first week of April but they were plentiful. Friendly crew. Lots of hilariously bad jokes.
Could not have asked for more!!

Turtle canyon Heaven

5.00Best excursion of my 53 years. Cpt. Moe,John(Velcro shirt guy) and Xavier were absolutely excellent. They were punctual,clear in communication and enthusiastic. Nothing felt scripted or strained at all. We took the turtle canyon snorkeling tour because of booking availability. We were amazed by the wildlife and had a sense of security due to the work and communication of John,Xavier and Cpt.Moe. This crew was thorough in safety and making sure out experience was a great one. We were a little sad that we couldn't find an available whale tour on our schedule. So imagine the thrill when Cpt. Moe's sharp eyes spotted two pods in competition. She quickly guided us to the greatest experience of my life. Not only did we see the whales breach,we saw tail slaps,we saw blowhole display and moms and baby's in their natural environment for over an hour. Theyre keen eyes and experience gave me the greatest vacation moment of my life. I'm 53 and seeing my adult kids euphoric with joy and tears of joy in my wife's eyes made me realize I couldn't pay enough or tip enough for the memory pink sails,Cpt.Moe,John and Xavier gave us on our last excursion. So don't bother with any other company and just go with the flow of Pink Sails and ask for Cpt. Moe's crew.

An Unforgettable Whale Watching Experience in Waikīkī

5.00We had an amazing whale watching experience with Pink Sails Waikīkī! At 8:00 AM, we set off on the Odyssey for a beautiful cruise along the Waikīkī coastline. The two-hour trip was absolutely unforgettable - we were lucky to witness a family of humpback whales playfully swimming and interacting in the water almost the entire time. It was truly breathtaking, and our excitement knew no bounds. We would especially like to thank the crew on board - a fantastic team of professionals who clearly love what they do. They were attentive, friendly, and did everything possible to make sure everyone enjoyed the experience to the fullest. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Oʻahu!
Great captain
