An absolute must do on Oahu :) - We had theee best time with aloha ocean. Captain Shanti and Koa were very knowledgeable and super kind. We felt safe and enjoyed the whole trip out! My 7 year old daughter came out and we got to see a bunch of pilot whales up close 🥹 it was nothing short of amazing and a moment I’ll remember forever. We will definitely go out again with shanti! We also loved how this is a smaller boat. More personal and much better! The boat was extremely nice and clean and we could relax and just enjoy being out there. Can’t wait for the next dive!

Support small business and get a beautiful boat ride - This was so worth it. Wanted to support a small business so we did the drive and had the best time. Semi-private tour with Koa and Stefan made this an unforgettable experience. I wish I brought my GoPro. The snorkeling was to die for! We saw 1 turtle and lots of fishes in the water. Unfortunately we did not swim with dolphins but I will be back with the 50% lifetime discount we received because we weren’t able to swim with the dolphins as planned. We also got some storytelling and history from our guide! I will be coming back. The water was so blue and the dolphins were so cute!! We saw so many and I guess our good energy had some swim around us. Best birthday activity.

The best private tour crew! - Mahalo to Aloha Ocean and the crew for such an unforgettable experience for our whole family! You promised dolphins and sea turtles and that is what we got plus so much more! You were all incredibly patient, welcome, and kind from start to finish. We truly appreciate everything you did to make the day so special!

Captain Stefan and Mate... - Captain Stefan and Mate Koa are fabulous! Both are very knowledgable about the boat, the water and the history of the area. They welcomed us and made us feel like family from the start. The smaller boat experience is definitely with the price. On our trip we saw a pod of spinner dolphins, a sea turtle and a monk seal. We will definitely book with them again on our next visit to the island.

Best tour yet! - Lucas and Shanti were gems on this tour. Great boat and definitely beats the catamaran crowd. They were also very helpful with our 2 year old. He ended up loving the boat ride and water. Best crew and worth every penny!

We Had a Blast!! - We had a BLAST!!! Seeing dolphins in their natural habitat was absolutely unforgettable!! They were playful, beautiful, and came so close to the boat—it truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The crew made sure we had the best possible views while still respecting the animals and their environment, which we really appreciated. We even saw an Octopus!

Cancelled - I don’t usually write reviews like this, but I feel it’s important to share our experience. Our tour was cancelled at the last minute due to not enough bookings, I think 4 people were booked on including us. This was despite it being advertised as a semi-private experience. It was especially disappointing as it was something we had been really looking forward to during our honeymoon. What made the situation more frustrating was the lack of notice. Because we were informed so late, we had no realistic opportunity to find an alternative, meaning we completely missed out on the snorkelling experience altogether. We were offered a potential alternative date, but this was after we were due to fly home, so it wasn’t a viable option.
