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!

The crew is fantastic!... - The crew is fantastic! They provide excellent service and are incredibly knowledgeable about whales. They always search for the best viewing spots, and if you're lucky, you might even see them up close near the boat. It's truly an unforgettable experience!

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.

A great conclusion - We spent most of our time looking for but not finding whales but we hit several close sightings at the end and that was only possible because the crew was willing to go 15 minutes beyond the scheduled 2 hour schedule
