Unforgettable whale watching experience! - We chose this trip, based on reviews and the fact that they specialized in whale and dolphin watching. We went Whale Watching on the very last day of what is considered the official season for whales in Oahu. We were blessed with wonderful weather and saw 5 whales. We absolutely loved talking with the crew that was more than willing to share facts about whales and other marine life. We loved that before we started out 2 hour trip, the ship Captain led with a traditional Hawaiian prayer asking for permission to enter the waters. At the end crew demonstrated a hula dance which was fun too:) . Captain Jerry, Robert and Luke, mahalo nui loa to all three of you for an unforgettable experience!!

Best crew and one of the best things we did in Oahu! - Captain Mark, Luke, and Ryan were the best tour guides for our trip! Luke the Whale Whisperer called out a boat move to get us some nice views of whales breeching! We got closeups of a mother whale and her calf, spinner dolphins, a manta ray... The whole gamut! Definitely recommend taking this tour. It was well worth waking up at 530am to make it in time!!

Yay for Faith and Ryan - Faith and Ryan were the crew for Captain Mark. All 3 did a super job and were very patient and respectful of my older mother who was afraid to get on the boat. The view from the upper deck was amazing. Boat was easy to find if you drive yourself and parking in the lot was free. The advertisement says they have a hydrophone but they do not. Musubi was fantastic.

Good experience! - Overall it was a good experience. We didn't see any whales and that's out of our control. The staff was phenomenal. I belive the young ladies name was Tierra?...very engaging. Robert was very friendly and engaging as well. Mark did a great job handling the boat. Great staff that worked well together. High spirited staff. Loved it!

No whales but great experience. - Great guides, lovely morning boat ride. We didn't see much of the whales. Last moment tail as the dove from a distance but it was a lovely experience anyway. We tried twice and same experience both times. Hopefully others have better luck with the whale sights but the experience is great regardless.

Fantastic experience, despite the rain! - Saw a breaching whale 5 minutes into the trip. Also saw a pod of spinner dolphins and a sea turtle.
Didn't see any donuts and didn't hear anything with an underwater microphone as advertised.
