Kevin and Sabrina took really good care of us. The boat was clean, explanations/safety rules were well covered, and everything was catered to how we wanted our ride to go! Whale watching together with our friends was such a precious experience and we would recommend it for everyone. They even gave us local recommendations for restaurants and more whale watching locations. We highly recommend it! (And by we, I mean party of 9 girls to celebrate our bride to be!)

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales, but I was satisfied to watch sea turtles and 5-6 F22s taking off and climbing rapidly in their training. The zodiac was very fast, more thrilling than a roller coaster, and my family was overjoyed! I would love to ride it again.
残念ながらクジラは見れなかったのですが、海亀とF22が次々と5-6機、離陸し急上昇する訓練を見れて満足いたしました。ゾディアックはスピードが速く、ジェットコースターよりスリリングで、家族は大喜びでした!また乗りたいと思います。
クジラを見れたらラッキーという気持ちで乗れば、見れなくても十分楽しめると思います

Crew was amazing and made the very best of weather conditions to make the snorkel tour a truly enjoyable experience. They made every effort to find marine life and find an area to snorkel that would provide the best chance to see fish and sea life. We saw a few sea turtle, sting ray, flying fish, tropical fish and a pod of spinner dolphin! Food and drinks were very good. The crew made sure we all had a great time! The photographer was so fun and his picture pack value is unbelievable - no brainer of a purchase. Highly recommended 🤙

Gorgeous day! Captain Jeff and crew made our trip comfortable. Stop at Natatorium made the ash release so special. Great views of Diamond Head, Waikiki, and Ala Moana. Special treat when a very large pod of dolphins escorted us back to the pier.
Confirm online reservation with phone calls since so many parties are involved in the whole process.

We took the family for a day of cruising, snorkeling, and relaxing. We saw dolphins, flying fish, sea turtles and beautiful coral and fish. The crew was amazing and took care of our every need. From keeping our drinks full, to sunscreen, dry towels, a delicious lunch and incredible snorkeling. We walked to the dock from Ko Olina, very easy. We cruised up the coast, so we did not go far but got a nice view of the resort from the ocean.
Come ready to relax and have fun.

Rearranged trip to bypass hurricane Kiko. Flew my Dads ceremonial US flag at half mast.
The Captain and his first mate Loren were handsome and Beautiful.
The ship was extremely comfortable even with the big swells from Kiko. We felt safe all the way past 3 miles for our ceremony.
Access to the marina was easy with lots of parking. Can’t say enough about this boat and crew members who made our ceremony extraordinary.
Morning traffic on Oahu is bad, give yourself time.

We were able to fully enjoy the ocean activities such as snorkeling, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding at our leisure. During snorkeling with the guide, we had a relaxed and private time, and we encountered sea turtles multiple times. My grandmother didn't go into the water, but she was happy to relax on the boat. Our whole family was very satisfied, and choosing a private cruise was definitely the right decision.
シュノーケル、カヌー、SUPなど自由に使用でき海の遊びを満喫できました。ガイドさんとのシュノーケルでは、ゆったりとプライベートな時間を過ごせ、ウミガメに何度も出会えました。祖母は海に入りませんでしたが、ボートでリラックスして過ごせて喜んでいました。家族みんな大満足で、貸切クルーズを選んで正解でした。
Since it's a private tour, I think it would be even more enjoyable if you communicate your preferences to the guide.
貸切なので、ガイドさんに希望を伝えるとさらに楽しめると思います。
Aloha! Thank you very much for joining the Captain Bruce's Paradise of the Sea tour. We look forward to seeing you again in Paradise of the Sea, along with the sea turtles. A hui hou!

Francesco and Ella were phenomenal. We had kids aged 9,5, and 3 with us. The two youngest were freaked out and didn’t want to go in the water. Francesco stayed with them while myself, my wife, and the 9 year old went snorkeling. Ella was very knowledgeable and patient. Thank you both for your hospitality and putting up with the kids. I recommend anyone try this out, it’s so much better than being on crowded boat, especially if you have kids.

If you board with the feeling that it would be lucky to see a whale, I think you can still have a great time even if you don't see one.
