Tour Reviews
This was one of the highlights of our trip. I’m so happy I finally got to see whales!
One of the most lovely tours I have done here on Oahu! We got to see whales from a very close view.
Also gotta give them credit for an affordable price!
I took my wife on this tour as a surprise, I know she always wanted to see whales. I wish I could share the photos, that would be worth more than a hundred words!
