I'm on a boat in HI looking for whales - The staff made this experience. We enjoyed the boat and the views. We saw a back and a fin, but who cares! We are on a boat in HI?! Plus the drinks were delicious. My husband and I will book this again. Also, I was worried about getting g se sick and, no issues.

Whales and Dolphins - We had a very nice time. The weather was beautiful the boat great the guys were friendly and informative. We saw three whales at a distance, one was a baby, but the dolphins on the way back were amazing. We saw a whole pod of spinner dolphins that came right up to the boat. They stuck around long enough to get multiple pics even interacted with us by sticking their heads out of the water and waving.

10/10 experience - Mahalo to the captain and crew! We live on the island and wanted to take a trip to see whales to the west side! And we were blessed seeing so many. The caltain and crew were amazing, always walking around asking if someone needed anything, super kind, very knowledgeable about the land and ocean and all around a 10/10 experience. We will recommend this to anyone. Mahalo again!

High point of our time in Oahu - The crew was terrific! Knowledgeable , friendly and fun. Besides humpbacks, we saw a hammerhead. Had a great conversation with Anthony about among other things his tohono o’ohodom ancestry in Tucson.
