5.00This was a great tour. Crew had a lot of knowledge and let us know about rough water ahead of time. We saw so many whales while on tour. Got to see a turtle right next to the boat. Would definitely go out with them again
We saw whales!!

5.00This was a ton of fun. We saw a good amount of whales. The staff was friendly and really fun. Can't help but have a great time floating around off of the shore of Waikiki looking at whales and enjoying refreshments from the bar!

3.00Same as the title, but I've ask them about guaranty of whale watching . They said OK I can come back to do the tour again in the future ,no additional charge. I'm OK. But I don't know when I be back to Hawaii again... (So hard for me to visit here.) So if anyone want to see the whale just come here at about January to February I think that's OK than my touring date (14th April). Thank you
Super fun with great hosts! Will be back next time I'm in Hawaii!

5.00While we didn't see any whales (it was late in the season, so I knew it would be a risk) we still had a lot of fun! The captain and workers (I'm sorry I forgot their names) were really funny. They made jokes, sang parody songs about whales, and even got other people on the boat to get out of their comfort zone and make "whale noises" into the microphone. So even though we didn't see the whales, it was still worth every penny and I plan on taking advantage of their guarantee to get a free ride in the future to see the whales, even if it is another 10 years before I make it back to Hawaii! 10 out of 10, 100%, A+! Highly recommend!
Fabulous

5.00What a great 2 hours. Staff was amazing and funny. We got to follow a whale right off shore with it diving several times so that we saw his tail. Then we took a little boat ride and seeing the shore line from the water was amazing. Definitely recommend this tour. We had 4 adults and a 10 and 7 year old who all loved it
