Amazing every minute!! - It was amazing from pickup at the hotel to the last drop off back at the hotel. The driver was so nice, pleasant and really made us feel welcomed! The boat was on a dock (instead of loading from a beach) was so helpful and made it more assessable. The boat crew were friendly, and showed they were passionate about taking us on a trip. They were funny, offered to take pictures and helped everyone on board and in the water. We saw so many dolphins!! Very pleasant and enjoyable. Highly recommend it! Thank you!!

Best Tour in Oahu - This was an excellent tour! We saw two different species and pod of dolphins right away! One group was called Spinners. Then we saw a school of Pigmy Killer whales right in front of the boat! Once we were out snorkeling there were Green Turtles and many different variety of fish. The diver brought up a starfish that we were able to take pictures with. The tour provided drinks and lunch as well! Well worth the money! This was the most inexpensive tour and we got the most for our money! Thank you Hawaii Nautical!!

Unforgettable experience! - Best thing we did on our trip! We payed for a dolphin cruise and not only did we see Dolphins we saw a whole bunch of turtles on our snorkel and caught fish and ate fresh tuna on the way back to the harbor! Thanks to the crew, Dave, Quin and G. These guys are all legends. Mahalo.

Perfect morning with dolphins - Wonderful way to spend a morning doing something very memorable. For sure, the crew found us dozens of spinner dolphins We were surrounded by their delightful frolicking. No disappointment there and by far the most I've seen. Gorgeous views of the cost line with this epic mountainscap playing with the clouds. The snorkeling was nice even if the current made it cloudy. We still saw a bebe turtle and lots of fish. Nice to be out in the water and boat for a good half hour or more. The boat sales smooth and clean with both inside and outside options for seating. I was really happy to have the shuttle bus from Honolulu to myself as the driver was a local born and raised on the west side of the island. He was full of recommendations and stories. Wonderful time.

The greatest snorkel experience ever! - I’m in Hawaii with friends and we wanted a guided snorkel tour to ease into snorkeling for two friends that had never been before. This tour was amazing we saw lots of Spinner and Pan Tropical dolphins as well as turtles. The guides were knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to snorkel in a spot where we found a ray, an octopus and sea urchin. The lunch was fine it was adequate and nice to have a snack after snorkeling. There is a bar on board so it was fun to have some drinks on the boat. I would highly recommend this tour. We are here in the beginning of the off season so it was not crowded. Even though the max capacity is 88 people on the boat we only had about 20. It was worth the price and you are given 45 minutes to snorkel which goes by quickly when you see lots of fish, wildlife and coral.

Avoid - They canceled my dolphin tour twice because of which we had to re organize our trip. They said there was a mechanical failure in the boat for 2 days. I don’t understand how such a big company that has great reviews could not resolve a mechanical failure for 2 days. I booked because of good reviews but only got disappointment. There are many other companies that can provide the same service. This one is not reliable.
