The captain and crew were amazing They were professional, had great energy, and were as excited as we were when spotting dolphins and other sea life. We got the picture package. A small added expense but totally worth it. Tyler was amazing and we were able to focus on having fun

The staff was fun and friendly and clearly well trained. We did not see whales on our trip but the company offers a free return trip if you don’t see them. We did see dolphins and flying fish and it was a beautiful day on the ocean. Great staff and responsive customer service.

The crew was great. We saw dolphins and whales. It was so nice to be out on the water and see Waikiki from so many different views, including the backside of Diamondhead. We even got a hula show from one of the crew. She danced to a song from Moana and was very enthusiastic.

The crew was fabulous and we saw one of the first whales of the season. The whale actually breached the excitement of the team made it even more fun. I would highly recommend this company and especially this crew with Jeremy, Megan, and the rest!
