    Fun ride
    The service was good. The crew were very nice and excellent. The ride on the boat was fun. Sadly, the viewing of whales was limited, they barely came out, and there were so many people, that you fall behind of tons of people for getting a proper glance of a whale. Maybe it wasn’t our day.

    Great Day in Oahu
    WoW! We spent an amazing day touring Oahu and listening to our Island guide, Ka’noa, who was outstanding! The whole tour was fun but the Waimea Waterfall was a highlight! Our driver was an absolute pro as well! Our last stop at the Dole Plantation was a tasty treat. Great day!

    It was fun!
    Really memorable experience seeing whales and several dolphins. The crew was really nice, especially Captain Danni, Yogi and the others. They tried to make it a fun experience.

    Only feedback: we didn’t like feeling a little pressured to buy their products and services. We understand that it’s tough out there, but other tours on Oahu that we have done did not push their other services as hard.

    Perfect morning excursion
    Great experience , friendly staff. Best coffee I had while in Oahu. French toast was delicious and the other option smelled amazing. Saw lots of whales, they weren’t super active for us but still very cool. Totally worth the time and money!

    Don’t think twice, just book it! Andrew, was a great tour guide and knowledgeable about all the hotspots to visit during our stay. He was very easy going and has lots of knowledge to share about Hawaii. We enjoyed every single location we stopped at—especially the food! Thank you Andrew!!

    Whales and sunset
    We had a perfect night! The crew was great; really attentive and knowledgeable. The drinks were really yummy; I would highly recommend the Turtltini, Sea breeze and Mai Tai. The pupus tonight were chicken sliders with pineapple salsa—big portions and quite tasty. Absolute best of all was seeing lots of humpback whales really close and easy to see. The sunset was beautiful, as was view of Diamond Head. Only downside was we couldn’t get a cab back so took the bus which was fine once we figured it out.

    Good day for whales!
    The crew was great and we saw several pods of whales. We followed 3 adults for almost 25 min. Good day out on the water although a little choppy and windy.

    Oahu Island Food Tour
    I had one of my best days as a solo traveler on the Oahu island tour. Or should I call it the Oahu food tour. Paul was entertaining, engaging and had his whole bus feeling like Ohana by the end of the day. The stops we made were such high quality and always allocated a perfect amount of time. The knowledge I gained from the tour could not be replicated anywhere else and I am extended grateful for the experience Paul provided for us. Couldn’t recommend it more as a good introduction to the island.
