Samantha McLean
We had a great experience whale watching! The small boat experience is fantastic.

You can stop searching and book this tour- it’s perfect. Exceeded our expectations in every way. Good communication, easy to book, and location was easy to find plus free parking. Lauren and Shanti met us with great vibes & energy. The boat is beautiful and clean. We prefer a small group— having no more than 6 people on the tour was fantastic.

Absolutely awesome Whale watching experience! Very personable experience that was extremely educational. Got to see spinner dolphins, humpback whales, turtles and the outstanding surf! Rebecca and Shanti were awesome with our three kids and extremely accommodating. I can not recommend this tour enough for those wanting a closer more personal experience!

Being a local, Shanti is very familiar with wildlife in the area and ensures that you can witness these beautiful creatures while maintaining a respectful distance. I highly recommend his tour for anyone that is looking for a more personal experience on the water away from more crowded tour boats.

Had an epic day on the water with Captain Shanti and crew. Everyone was super knowledgeable and friendly. Between that, the wildlife encounters, and the beauty of the west side of O’ahu, it was an experience I won’t forget. Looking forward to getting out there again soon.
