We are whale watchers around the world and always go on snorkeling and whale watching tours. I read about this company months ago and contacted them while in Hawaii.

There were four of us on the boat….room for a total of six. There was a naturalist wanting many pictures for his work and we referred to him as “Orange”, and a Captain who has sailed many places including our home area….The Caribbean. We vacation there all of the time.

The guys were fabulous. Watching any sea life takes patience and time. And the Whales,Dolphins, Turtles, and other creatures make their own plans. The beauty of a trip Iike this is one can adjust the day and change plans as needed.

My husband and I never expected to see whales as we know many are back in Alaska now. On our way back from a great snorkel with a large group of dolphins and their babies and time watching a group of pilot whales otherwise knows dolphins. We were shocked as a humpback and her baby went by the side of the boat and both did a dive together big tail and little tail right behind the boat. This baby was too young to travel yet I suspect. It was a fabulous moment.

Adjusting a tour is the joy of a trip like this. And I forwarded pictures to the other coupe with us last night. We had just met.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip out on the water with the expert crew!
We saw many dolphins, Spotted and Spinner. What I appreciated the most - and why we chose this tour - is their dedication to conservation and their contribution to research and preservation of marine animals.
The guides are very knowledgeable generously shared information about marine animals as well as myths and legends of the gorgeous mountain valley. The scenery was spectacular.
They did their best to give us the best experience possible and we appreciated every moment!

Absolutely incredible tour!!! We had the BEST time! All the crew were fantastic and went out of their way to make it the best day for us. They were all extremely knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to swim with pilot whales and turtles. We also saw spinner dolphins and a hammerhead shark from the boat Would definitely recommend this company for your tour!

Best Whale watching and snorkeling trip we've done in Oahu. It was the end of the whale season, but we still saw a whale. We also saw dolphins and saw with 7 sea turtles in a peaceful bay. The best part was that there were 3 crew members to 5 guests. An amazing ratio and the crew was committed to ocean ecology which is very important to us. Even though they didn't advertise that they were part of the NOAA Dolphin Smart program, they followed all the rules. I would definitely go again in a heartbeat.

This tour was spectacular. Bethany and Leah were amazing - very friendly, professional, fun and knowledgeable. We went at the end of March and we're lucky enough to see dolphins, whales and a turtle. We also saw colorful fish. This is a small more personal tour which was incredible and felt a lot more private. Highly recommend, and would definitely do again!

Our tour was a private tour for 6 hours with just my husband and I. Captain Leah and First Mate Bethany were gracious hosts and excellent in spotting turtles, whales, dolphins, albatross and 2 species of Booby's-Brown and Red Footed. They made sure we had plenty of photo opportunities through out our time on the boat. I recommend this tour for anyone who wants great photos of marine life or just to see the windward side of Oahu.

This was one of the best experiences of any trip we’ve ever been on and the first review I’ve ever written (I felt compelled to share).

Our whole family was able to join (ages ranged 10-70) and everyone had the best time. Not only did we get to see bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales up close from the boat, but we got to swim literally surrounded by the dolphins … and sea turtles.

Bethany, Micky and Leah were amazingly knowledgeable and knew just where to be to cultivate an amazing experience for the whole family. We learned so much. This is a treasure and worth every penny.

We had a great time. Informative crew & captain. Beautiful scenery we were lucky enough to have a whale & calf sighting. Also a couple groups of spinner dolphins. They unfortunately ran into some mechanical problems & were very accommodating for our excursion having to be cut a little short! Overall it was a wonderful experience ❤️👍🏻😊

The all-female crew was knowledgeable, accommodating, intuitive and down to earth. They helped us feel cared for and safe in order to experience our journey to its fullest. We couldn’t have wished for a better excursion.

Best experience ever! We saw multiple hump backed whales - including calves - and the calves were breaching!! The crew couldn't believe it and said they had never seen calves breach so many times. Usually just a couple times and then they tire out. We saw multiple mother and calf couples and were thrilled!!

We also had bottle nosed dolphins and we snorkled with turtles and beautiful fish - we were fortunate to have the wildlife trifecta - I'd like to believe it was because it was my birthday - the crew certainly believed it to be true.

The all women crew was exceptional So knowledgeable, professional and fun!

The weather was great - overcast and comfortable and the seas were favorable enough for the captain to take us all the way past Kaena point - so we could see even more whales and both sides of the island!

We highly recommend this cruise! Being with an organization that is so dedicated to research, as well as educating the public was the deciding factor before we took the cruise - now, we can definitely recommend them for the wonderful time they provide for their guests!
