We saw whales… - The guys are friendly and very good at spotting and finding whales, the only thing is that they stay really far away from them…maybe all of them in Hawaii stay this far away, but in Alaska we were able to see the whales closer…other than that they are awesome…

We saw 2 Whale breaches!! - Absolutely amazing tour! We got to see 2 Whale breaches, 2 huge pods of spinner dolphins and a couple giant turtles! Francesco and Nick were amazing hosts. They went out of their way to make sure we got to see as much as possible. Both of them were very knowledgeable in the sea life, and answered all of our many questions. The hospitality was outstanding! I’d recommend this tour operator %100! Thanks for the great memories!

Fun whale-watching excursion! - The whale-watching excursion was great fun. The crew was friendly, chatty, and knowledgeable. As the whales arrived late to the party, the crew offered to extend our trip so we could get a couple more visits in. Even if the whales stand you up, it's well worth the cost just to get out on the water and enjoy the views of Oahu.

The captain and first... - The captain and first mate were great trying to find whales! The boat was fast enough to get us around and yet large enough we were comfortable and stayed relatively dry!

Best experience you can get, great crew! - This was an awesome experience with a great crew! This is probably not a boat and/or excursion for everybody, their boat is a very maneuverable, fast, and open setup, with bench seats down the middle and areas you can sit on the inflatable RHIB inflatable tubes. There is no cover on this boat (yet), so you're open to the elements, but you'll be able to get to the whales quickly and the captain and mate know their stuff! We outran and got ourselves into much better positions than the huge boats that were clustered up. You'll have more space to walk around, you're closer to the water to see the fish/turtles, and if there are whales, this is the platform to be on! Overall, I think this was the best way to experience the whale watching. It's not a snorkeling boat, and you'll feel the ocean, but if you're into that, this is great! If we every come back we'll re-book!

Fantastic experience - Francesco was a fantastic boat captain and tour guide. The zodiac boat we were on was the perfect size for a smaller group. Unfortunately, the whales were not cooperative that day, which is totally not in anyone’s control. But we did see a massive pod of dolphins and they hung out with us for about 20 minutes!! The water was so clear that it was super easy to see them and watch them playing. The seas were super calm that day so Francesco took us over to the cliffs, which he said almost never gets to happen because it’s usually too rough. That was beautiful!! Francesco was super knowledgeable about the island and even gave recommendations for food afterwards. I went to one of the places he recommended and it was amazing. I would highly recommend Francesco for a tour on the water.

Spectacular and one of a kind - The captain and deck hands were so delightful and talented. The whole experience was super organized. We got to see dolphins whales, turtles, fish all while having good music and fun people. I would highly recommend this excursion to family friends and people visiting the island for the first time. I learned different facts about the ocean, whales, birds and the list goes on!
