Super - We did see the whales but they were far. Maybe the boat can't be near for protection. The guys were very nice. We saw also dolphins.

Great Experience for everyone! - Loved Loved Loved the trip. We saw whale spouts, heads, tails, and a body roll no breaching .staff who kept us looking in the right direction. There was a turtle and dolphins on the way back. The boat was clean and comfortable with the crew checking on us during the trip. Took my daughter (34) for the 8 am trip. Highly recommend using them.

Best relaxing trip in hawaii - One of the best crews ive experienced, unfortunatly we didnt see the whales (such is nature) but they compesated us with a sunset tour the next day. The crew and trip are really worth while. For us the biggest advatage compared to the other whale tours or sunset tours is that they dont take too many people on board which makes it more relaxing. For sure the best option if you want to have a more relaxing time on the water. Crew very proffesional they know how to sail, als take safety very serious. One of the highlights during our visit in hawaii

First trip to Oahu Hawaii - We did the Whale Watching and Snorkeling with the turtles excursions with Three Tiki. Captain Mark and his crew we awesome. They made both experiences exciting and fun. I would always recommend this crew as the best to have experiences with. Our first trip to Hawaii, our first whale sightings, our first snorkeling with turtles and Three Tiki Sailing helped make it amazing! Thank you to the crew!

Whale Watching - Our experience was amazing. We saw a baby whale and mom whale almost immediately and were able to watch them almost the entire trip. They DO NOT jump out of the water as shown in the photo. That is extremely extremely rare. But we did see their humpbacks, spouting water, etc. We also saw several spinner dolphins which was great. The guides were wonderful and so personable!

Great trip: saw mom + baby whale & dolphins - Great experience on a catamaran in a small group of about 15 people. Saw a mom & baby whale up close. Then a group of dolphins :-). Crew is super nice and passed on a lot of knowledge. We would do the tour again at any time. Easy to reach at Ala Wai Boat Habor.

Whales and Dolphins, Great Tour! - What a great whale watch tour! We went out and immediately got close up (50m) with a mother and baby Humpback Whale! Then we headed over toward Diamond Head and found a huge pod of Spinner Dolphins that we saw for approx 30 minutes. The crew was absolutely awesome, and very knowledgable.

The best whale watching without the crowd. - Chad and the crew were so amazing. It was lovely to be on a boat with fewer people and staff that know the area. It was a beautiful setting. Although we didn’t see whales, we saw turtles and the monk seal that has been nesting in the area. Last seen in Kauai 9 years ago. Can’t wait to go out again.
