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.

Fun whale watching trip! Well worth the price! - Great experience for our family of 6 adults, ages 25 to 80. Highlight was seeing a momma whale with her baby. Crew was professional and very safe. Well worth the price of tickets. Would definitely use this company again. Be prepared to remove your shoes before getting on board the boat. Also there is not a sign for the tour company at the marina, just look for the large catamaran.

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
