The cruise itself, staff and entire experience was wonderful and the views were breathtaking at sunset.
Service and dancers were outstanding and enjoyable to watch. Food was not all that great but otherwise a great time and worth the expense to experience it. I would definitely recommend to anyone to do this dinner cruise but do not have high expectations with the food.

This Pearl Harbor tour was more than what I had expected. I expected to just be dropped off at the location of Pearl Harbor to tour it on my own, which would have been ok. But the trolley ride was enjoyable, and the driver was very knowledgeable and informative about the events or Pearl Harbor, and also the history of the island as well. He was very entertaining, humorous and personal able, relating well with his clients, getting them involved in the tour. He assured that we all know what to expect and what was expected of us. We had plenty of time to explore and to pay or respect to the men and the events of that terrible day in history. I would recommend this tour to all I know when they visit Oahu and hope that they are lucky enough to get our guide for this experience.

As a parent of 7 year old twins, who seeks out kid friendly activities, I’m so grateful I chose this show. This was their first show since COVID. They offered a selection of kid friendly food which I appreciated. The rest of the food was amazing and the drinks were delicious! Now to the entertainment. This group of performers were so enthusiastic that the captured my kids attention the whole time. The story they told was beautiful. My kids were doing their best to follow the dancers moves and the waitstaff were so kind to compliment them. The fire dancer at the end got a standing ovation! From the music and performers to the food and staff, they all exceeded any expectations! Well done!

I have been on a whale watching tour in the past and the captain took us directly to where the whales were and we were so close and able to get great pictures for the entire tour. That was not the case here; we were constantly looking for whales and all we ever saw was the “blow” and some splashing from quite a distance. It was very disappointing. I would think these guys would know where to go since they do this everyday. We were in the boat for several hours and never saw anything to identify this as a good trip! I would have expected them to take us somewhere to see the whales, we seemed to hang out in the same area just hoping a whale would show up!
The boat was very nice and the people were nice too but the whales were missing!! This was the beginning of February, isn’t that the best time?
Aloha and thank you for joining us on our tour.
Unfortunately whales are not stationary animals and try as we might, we have not gotten them to agree to be on payroll.
As whale watching is a gamble by nature, we offer a guarantee of whale sightings or come again free. We wish you would have taken us up on it so you could have come out on another day. We hope the rest of your vacation on the big island was great!

My girlfriend and I just recently attended the luau on Valentine’s Day. We were welcomed in and sent straight to our table which was set up very nicely. The show was absolutely amazing even though I feel it was a little short. It started raining pretty heavily and although we appreciated the ponchos it does seem that tents should have been built to avoid what the forecast predicted. This made it really difficult for us to enjoy our food because everything was soaked. All in all the food was decent. We did however have to wait 15 to 20 minutes for someone to notice our on the table signifier for a waitress or bartender to serve us. Fortunately it did work out in our favor as by the time our food and drinks arrived the rain had settled. The chief was extremely funny and we have an experience that we plan to take back to the mainland and talk about for years to come. If you do happen to go to the luau make sure you check the weather because I guarantee you would enjoy it more with clear skies. To the event, I was strongly suggest that pop-up tents are invested in so that customers can truly enjoy the night as expected regardless of the weather.

It was far away, but I somehow saw a whale (^_^;) While I can't expect much from the meal, it's nice that the ship itself is large and spacious. Since it's nature, you can't always expect things to go as planned, but if you're lucky, you might see some jumps. Please join with an open heart.
遠くですが、なんとなく(^_^;)クジラさんが見えました。お食事は期待できませんが船自体が大きくてゆったりできるのは良いですね。自然の事なので常に期待通りとはいきませんが、運が良ければジャンプとか見られるそうです。広い心で参加して下さいね。

I was able to see whales quite well. However, it may depend a lot on luck. When I went, it seemed that there was only one whale nearby, and I saw it come up to the surface a few times. There are times when you can see multiple whales. You can't get too close to the whales (it seems that getting too close is prohibited). Also, when they come up for air, they dive back down, so you have to wait for a while for them to surface again. The whales are great, but the rainbow was very beautiful, and you can also see Waikiki Beach from the ocean side. That view was nice as well.
鯨はしっかり見られました。
ただしかなり運にも左右されるかもです。自分が行ったときには一頭しか近くにはいなかったようで,それが海面まで上がってくるのを何回か見た感じです。
何頭も見られるときもあるようです。
鯨はそこまで間近で見られるわけではありません(あまり近づくのは禁止されているようです)
また息継ぎをすると潜ってしまうので,次上がってくるのをしばらく待つことになります。
鯨も良いですが,虹がとてもきれいに見え,またワイキキビーチを海側から見えます。そちらの眺めも良かったですね。

We booked the tour in advance of our visit to Hawaii. We have been big fans of the series since the first season and were happy to be able to visit an original spot from the series. We were picked up by Sean at the hotel and during our trip we got a lot of information about the series and Hawaii. He has a very pleasant way of passing on his knowledge to his guests. At McGarrett's house Flippa did not receive us - it was a surprise for the rest of the group - because we were connected via social media and knew what was going on. It was a very nice lunch with Sean and Shawn. We visited the house inside and outside, talked to the owners Richard and Sooz, had fun with their dog Yogi and took numerous pictures.We sat in the chairs and looked at the sea - like Steve and Danny in the series. These are incredible feelings of happiness! This tour is unique. Who is a fan of the series and a guest on Oahu should not miss this excursion. Mahalo nui loa Sean & Shawn !!! we will never forget this awesome Day !!!

My first whale watching experience was wonderful as I got to see a mother and calf whale. I thought we might be able to see them a bit closer, but I understand that it’s a matter of the whales' safety. The boat was large. Since it was a plan without meals, those who had breakfast included were enjoying a buffet before departure. It would be better for those without meals to eat beforehand. I didn't expect to see whales so close to Honolulu; the view of Honolulu from the sea was also very beautiful. Not only the whales, but I could also see Diamond Head beautifully from the ocean. It was a very elegant cruise.
初のホエールウォッチングで、親子の鯨が見れてとても良かった。もう少し近くで見れるかと思った。鯨の安全性の問題なので仕方ないと思った。船は大きい船だった。食事なしのプランだったので、朝食付きの人は出港前にブッフェを食べていた。食事なしの人はご飯を食べていった方が良い。ホノルルからこんなに近いところで見れるとは思わなかった、海から見るホノルルもとても景色が良かった。鯨だけでなく、ダイヤモンドヘッドも綺麗に海から見れた。とても優雅なクルーズだった。

Although it was a large boat and we couldn't get too close, we were able to see whales jumping about three times at a distance that was clear enough to observe with the naked eye. I thought it would have been nice to have binoculars.

I was worried about seasickness, so I thought a larger boat would be safer and decided to join this tour.
● Transportation
★ The pickup was by a larger bus, gathering at a nearby hotel.
★ On the way back, I was able to get dropped off at Ala Moana.
⚫︎ Meals
★ I hesitated about including breakfast, thinking that the food on the boat might make me feel sick, so I decided against it.
★ Many people opted for breakfast, and everyone was eating before the boat started moving.
★ Since there was time before departure, it was possible to eat if you brought your own food.
⚫︎ Whales
★ As for the whales, we saw them!! However, we couldn't see them very closely.
We could see them spouting water and their tails from a distance.
★ On the way back, a pod of dolphins appeared, and we were able to see them up close, which was very satisfying!
船酔いが心配だったので、こちらの大きめの船なら安心かなっと思いこちらのツアーに参加しました。
●送迎
★送迎は大きめのバスで近くのホテルに集合でした。
★帰りはアラモアナで降ろしてもらう事も出来ました。
⚫︎食事
★朝食付きか迷いましたが、船の中の食事は気持ち悪くなるかも、、と思いやめておきました。
★朝食付きにしてる方は多く、船が動き出す前に皆さん食事をとられていました。
★持参しても出発まで時間もあるし食べる事は可能です
⚫︎くじら
★肝心のクジラは、、見れました!!ただやはりそんなに近くではなかなか見れなかったです。
潮をふいているのと、しっぽが遠くですが、みえました。
★帰りにイルカの群れが現れてくれてそちらは至近距離で見られたので大満足です!

I didn't have high expectations, but it was very pleasant and the scenery was beautiful. When a whale is spotted, they announce it and let you know where it is, so if you keep an eye out, you might see a mother and her calf quite close by. It was quite moving. It felt like time stood still, and it was very healing. I want to participate again, but my husband seemed to struggle with seasickness, so for those worried about seasickness, it's better to take medication in advance to enjoy it more. Definitely give it a try!
余り期待はしてなかったのですが、とても気持ちが良く、景色も良かったです。
