Great experience! - This tour was a great experience. We saw alot of whales, especially given it was the last day of the "season".... the staff was knowledgeable and friendly and the service was great. The boat was much larger than we expected so but ended up being one of the better whale watching experiences we have had vs some of the smaller boats. Highly recommend to others!

Great whale watching tour! - We love to whale watch whenever the humpback are back in Hawaii (usually Sept/Oct thru Mar/Apr. This is one of the better ones we've been on on O'ahu. The personnel all wore smiles, live entertainment (single performer with guitar and, sometimes ukulele) provided a nice background of music (loud enough to hear, but can still hear your conversations. We sat on the second deck - mostly in the wonderful air conditioning, and ventured outside when whales were spotted. The naturalist was informative. Liked there were amenities on all decks, and food was available for purchase. We saw about 3 small pods; wasn't able to take pics of all, but the boat's photographer had pics for purchase. I got them emailed to me.

A Must on your Vacation. - Thanks to everyone at Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. A 5 star whale watching cruise, and a fantastic way to spend part of your day on the water. In this 2.5 hr cruise, the staff was amazing, the whales were spotted, great pictures were able to be taken, and everyone aboard had a great time. Even the bubbly was good.😊. Captain Unruh made this cruise absolutely the best. His knowledge of the water, explaining lots of facts, and how he walked around, greeting everyone , he made sure you were not going to miss anything and that you were enjoying yourself. Thanks, I did. This cruise is one that I will definitely go on again, on my next visit to Oahu. A must on your trip. A perfect time. Mahalo to you all. 😊

Whales March 2024 - Bill, the guide, was great. The whole crew was very attentive from start to finish. We saw 3 separate whale pods which included a 2 week old calf. Also saw a turtle. Very comfortable trip.

Great experience and value for the money - Great experience. Even if we had not seen whales, everything was well done, very professional. The naturalist was teaching throughout the trip and directing us towards sightings. Great value for the money.

Two hour whale visit - Our large boat headed southeast towards Diamondhead and quickly found a pod of 5-6 humpback whales. Because whales resurface every 10-15 minutes, we could cruise alongside them---at a safe and non-threatening distance---for the next two hours. At one point they turned heading towards our boat and apparently dove under it. We were at times close enough to hear the whoosh as the air exploded out of their blowholes. You could tell the staff had a deep understanding and appreciation of the whales, and would not do anything to endanger or harm them. A once in a lifetime experience.

Cold, windy and 1 sighting only - Finally seeing a whale. I’m use to seeing the whales off Maui. They are always abundant. It was very windy and quite cold.
