Dolphin Trip - We had a great experience on the boat with Shanti and Lauren! They were very safety conscious and worked hard to make it a fun and memorable experience for us. The boat was comfortable and clean. Overall, just a super trip and we will definitely go again with them on our next trip to Hawaii!

Best trip on the island! - Best trip on the island. The experience was amazing! We did Atv, Jurassic tour, Helicopter, zip lining and a number of other items. But this was the best thing we did the whole time. We seen whales, 3 types dolphins, turtles and many fish while snorkeling.

Recommend Aloha Ocean Tour - It was very private experience. Captian Santi and his partner captain were very experienced and kind. You can watch whales and dolphins and you can swim with dolphins if you are lucky. You can swim with turtles for sure. It was a unforgettable experience.

Look no further and book this tour! - I am still smiling ear to ear, this was the excursion of a lifetime! Shanti and his crew were friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the amazing work they are doing. Within the first 15 minutes we saw a whale and calf in the distance. Then within the first 30 mins, we found our first pod of dolphins. Getting in the water with these majestic creatures not once but 3 times, was amazing! The small tour group made it that much better as were were able to get within feet of a dolphin and felt like a very personalized experience. Lastly, we docked at the reef for some snorkeling. There we saw turtles, fish, sea urchins, sea cucumbers, and the big surprise of the day, a large manta ray. Thank you Shanti, we cannot wait to come back next year!

Amazing! - Shanti and Sam were so fun and knowledgeable! We saw whales, turtles, countless dolphins, and a manta ray! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I loved how respectful they were of the animals, the small group compared to the boats with 50+ people. I would recommend this tour to any of friends or family coming to Hawaii!

Amazing private boat charter on the west coast of Oahu! - My 16 year old son and I had an amazing experience with Captain Shanti and his first mate Stefan. They were so warm and welcoming we felt like we were out on the water with family! They are super professional and knowledgeable and the boat is by far the nicest boat I have ever been out on in Hawaii in my 29 years of boating experience here.
They found us a family of humpback whales just 20 minutes out of port, followed by snorkeling with a pod of Pilot whales they expertly found by scanning the water for wildlife. The trip ended with a ride along with spinner dolphins to a beautiful snorkeling spot with turtles and crystal clear waters.
You can never be guaranteed what you will find out in the open ocean, but if it is out there in the day you charter your trip with Shanti and Stefan, they will find it for you!

Amazing & Unforgettable Experience! - Shanti and Lauren ROCK! We had such an amazing time and loved being in a small group for this tour. Breathtaking views and the chance to observe dolphins, sea turtles, and more in their natural habitat. This was absolutely one of the highlights of our visit to Oahu! Also, extra mahalo to Lauren for the restaurant recommendation; we went to Monkeypod that night for dinner and everyone loved it. Mahalo and aloha, what an unforgettable experience!
