Absolutely Gorgeous

5.00Absolutely beautiful, I mean what more could you ask for. My party and I were able to have a boat to ourselves, and we were able to get a beautiful, clear view of the sunset. The Captain also delivered perfectly by making some detours before the sun set, giving us a history lesson on some of the buildings and beaches along the coast. On top of this, we were given complimentary hot chocolate of green tea, which I've never seen before but was a great addition to the cool temperature at that time. 5/5 would definitely book another trip the next time I come to Hawaii!🎖
Poor Communication and Untrustworthy

1.00They waited til the last moment and cancelled our cruise when they didn’t get more passengers. I would not trust this company.

5.00The best adventure we had in Hawaii! We saw so many whales—they put on a real show for us! An incredible experience filled with emotions! A huge thank you to our captain, Ryan, and to Emily, who took such great care of us throughout the journey. Sipping warm tea at sunset was truly a gift! Thank you so much for this trip—everything was absolutely amazing! Mahalo! Iryna and Anika.

5.00Great guys who were super friendly and informative. Very chill vibe and offered tea or hot chocolate towards the end. Had some snacks and water on board if needed. Saw dolphins pods twice which was neat and several great views of whales. They even offer a repeat customer discount for other outings they do.
Soothing with Great Views

5.00The cruise took off around 5:30pm. Nolan and Sarah were both great. We really enjoyed the trip … it was very relaxing. Had some great chats with family and newly met friends on the boat. Music (chosen by Sarah) was soothing and tropical. No drama. Unbelievable views of Diamond Head.
Magical. Memorable. Much Aloha.

5.00The whale watching tour was amazing! Not only did we see whales, but there were turtles and both spinner and bottlenose dolphins. Brin was such a fun person and really helped take the tour to the next level! I also appreciated starting the tour with a traditional oli.
Friendly crew and nice atmosphere

4.00A great boat to get out on the water. Friendly staff, provided snacks and some beverages. Crew Sarah (we forget skippers name sorry!) was very friendly and they were determined to find us some whales and we eventually saw some tale flukes. Good atmosphere watching the sunset as we made our way back to the harbor.
The crew was so fun!

5.00Captain Nolen and Brynn made the experience a lot of fun! We didn’t get to see any whales up close, but the dolphins we saw were amazing! They swam with the boat for a long time. We had a great time! Be sure you wear a jacket!
Worth it!

5.00Captain Nolan and Bryn were excellent hosts! While we didn’t see whales, we had an incredible dolphin show! They came right up to the boat! The music was fun and it was a great vibe!
