A great time! - The trip was great fun. Our friendly driver Frank got us to and from Waikiki comfortably. The cruise was relaxed and fun. Small group. We saw whales, spinner dolphins, and turtles - and a lovely sunset.

Breathtaking experience! - My 12 year old daughter and I had a blast on this excursion. We had a fun crew hosting us and we got to see spinner dolphins and humpback whales both on this trip! The sunset was stunning. I would highly recommend this trip to any friend or family member.

Whale of a time - We had a great trip. The captain and crew were awesome and we happened upon Hawaiian spinner Dolphins right out of port and then were able to watch a family of whales mother, calf and escort(large male) for over an hour.

Do it! - Excellent tour. Very kind and funny driver and crew members. Made a genuine effort to locate and “follow” the whales for the best viewing. You can tell they really love being on the water. Well worth the price.

Majestic Whale Excursion - What an amazing treat to see these majestic creatures up close. Everyone was very nice and accommodating. We had a great time celebrating our moms 75th birthday.

My husband and I enjoyed... - My husband and I enjoyed a Saturday evening cruise. Picked us up from Waikiki, met some nice people. We were lucky enough to see 5 or 6 whales. Staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed it.

Inexperienced captain - Not the best value when the captain leaves when the whales are arriving. The complementary ride was 1.5 hours to get to the boat but he was great. They need to figure out the bathroom situation because 5+ hours without an adequate bathroom was not comfortable. The ocean was beautiful and it helped to see a turtle and they caught a couple nice fish.

Not great - First I want to say everyone was very nice. But it wasn’t 2.5 hours it was 6 hours. They don’t add the drive to the catamaran. The boat itself was uncomfortable. No whales were seen although there were dolphins. No narrative at all but maybe 30 minutes about dolphins in the 6 hours. Felt more like a boat owner trying to make extra money rather than a professional tour. Expected more from a Viator excursion.
