Pleasant crew, crowned with sightings of whales - We were lucky enough to see these wonderful animals and several times. The crew was very pleasant, fun and calm. The boat trip was lively and likewise it was very nice to see Honolulu with the Diamond Head from the sea.

Highly recommended Whale Watching Crew & Experience - We had the best experience and seen multiple sightings. More important as two senior women the entire crew (Jeremy,Zack & Megan) were so caring and made sure that with their assistance we we were able to go to the front of the boat with others to see the best views. they kept checking to see if we needed anything and if we were seeing the whales. they treated us as if we were their own grandmas..best customer service ever! Remember...Jeremy, Zack & Megan

Maryland visiting Hawaii - The Captain and mates did the best they could to get a view of the whales. The water was very ruff, but the Captain did what he could do.
