A wonderful few hours on the water whale watching. - Aiden and Holly were perfect hosts! They were fun, knowledgeable, and comfortable to be around. I’d certainly recommend this trip either as individuals or a private group. Oh, and of course we saw whales!! :-)

Always on point!!! Simple and exciting!! - The day was perfect with sunshine all around. The water was so clear even at 30-40ft deep. We saw turtles, fish and the one thing we were anticipating to see which was whales. The crew Alex and Andy made the utmost effort to find us whales even though it’s never promised whether you’ll find any that day or not. Thanks to the diamond head cruise team for always bringing it to the play!!. Thanks again to Ced!! Will catch ya later bra!!!

Easy to follow their instructions & activity. You might get wet a little since they use a smaller craft but worth it. - Thanks to Alex & his assistance that I got to see tails of whales. As anything related to Mother Nature, it’s just unpredictable but They tried hard to locate them and their knowledge was well appreciated. Their small craft was well kept. I hope I get to join again on next season.

Best boat tours on Oahu - This is a small vessel with a max of six guests. This is my fourth tour with them and they are outstanding. It’s the next best thing to being on your own boat. Crews are consistently fun and informative and it’s so relaxing. Snorkeling with the turtles was far superior to other tours I’ve taken. If you’re looking for a personalized, peaceful experience with amazing views of Oahu, this is it!

Whale Watching Tour - The tour guides were great - the boat and seating/handholds a little worn - but we did get to see a mama and baby whale near the boat come up and dive. Enjoyed that there were only 6 of us on the boat - it was a very nice time on the water.

Fantastic cruise - This crew is awesome. Very informative and fun. We brought my parents to celebrate their 50th anniversary. My dad is not very agile and the crew made him very comfortable. Although we didnt see any whales, it was still an amazing adventure. Would highly recommend them again and again.

Fun ride. - Captain Zoe and D were so friendly. We didn’t see whales but they still made the experience great. The boat ride in itself was fun. Good way to be on the water and great view of Diamond head

Whale watching - Booked a 2 hour tour for whale watching. We got to see a family of whales. I was a little disappointed when we got back to the dock I still had 20 minutes left. I could have seen them again if we would have stayed out a bit longer. Overall I got what I paid for.
