5.00An amazing time. The crew was so knowledgeable and wanted all of us to genuinely have a great time. Alexio was as funny as he was handsome.
Don’t expect a big show

4.00Doesn’t go too far so you see just a bit more than if you go to Diamond Head Lighthouse or Makapu’u point. We were lucky to have a large group of dolphins swam along with us for a while. As for the whales, just spray and a couple of tail-showings. Crew does a good job.

5.00Such a great experience! Captain Jamie and the crew, Peter and Alex, were so friendly and accommodating! You could tell they were having just as much fun as we were and that they love their jobs! So reasonably priced for the length of the tour.
My 11 year old daughter and I came all the way from Vancouver Canada .

5.00My 11 year daughter and I had a blast. We saw many whales and enjoyed a fun boat ride. The crew was awesome and played great tunes. We even saw F22jets fly from pearl Harbour. It was exciting to see whales and jets! We felt safe and created life long memories. Thanks Pink sails for the memories. 67!! Lol.

5.00Good experience, saw whale tails and even dolphins. The navigators were good and entertaining while encouraging us that we would have a good change to see the whales.

5.00Jamie, Tyler, Peter were knowledgeable, helpful and entertaining. They made every effort to try to locate whales, we were only able to see two. We stayed out an extra 20 minutes, as we saw one on the way back. They did offer a free return trip, knowing we didn't have a lot of activity but that's obviously not their fault. Would definitely recommend.
Waste of money and time

1.00Very disappointing experience. Unfortunately, this was a waste of money and time. You could barely see anything without telescopes, which was not what we expected at all. The overall experience did not match how it’s presented or promoted. That said, the crew was great — friendly, professional, and clearly doing their best. This feedback is not about them, but about the activity itself, which simply didn’t deliver.
Crew was awesome. We saw...

5.00Crew was awesome. We saw a whale, but very far out. Captain offered anyone who wanted to rebook another cruise. We were able to rebook for a few days later. Great customer care and service.
