Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec–Mar]

Excellent! Would go again!

Reviewed by: Adriane Zezula

They were awesome! It was a great day! Even if we had never seen whales we still would have enjoyed the trip. Our captain Anthony and crew members Brett and Carlos were great hosts, informative and relaxed just as we like it.

Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec–Mar]

Incredible experience!

Reviewed by: Stephen and Kelli

Wow!! We did the afternoon whale watch on February 12, 2015. First, we are so happy we booked this tour instead of one of the large cruise-like ships. Everything was fantastic and exceeded our expectations from the very start. Our crew (Jacob, Julia, David and Dave) were phenomenal! Each was outgoing, friendly and very knowledgeable. They made sure each person was attended to and were in constant contact with each other as well as the passengers. We were so fortunate to have perfect weather/sea conditions and only 7 passengers, including ourselves, for the cruise. Because of its size, the catamaran easily maneuvered to change course when we spotted whales, which was often! Not only did our crew point out sightings, but also explained why whales did certain things, their habits and shared past whale experiences. We even got to see a sea turtle when we were heading back to the marina. We were so happy we booked with this company. The cruise was intimate and fun and the drinks were great, too! If you want a top-notch, personal experience, book here!! Even if we hadn't been so lucky to see so many whales, the sailing experience with these great people would have been well worth it!

Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec–Mar]

Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Jason

We had a great time. The boat was on the smaller side, which was good...we could maneuver and move towards sighted whales more quickly and easier than the large vessels could. there were about 12 total guest on the boat with 4 total crew members, so the tour was very intimate. We enjoyed the friendliness and knowledge of the staff. Light snacks and refreshments were provided, and alcohol was available for $1 or $2 for those who wanted it. There was plenty of room in the covered area of the boat as well as the front deck. We spent the majority out on the deck, as the views from there were remarkable. One woman got seasick and the crew did what they could to help her out. I'd recommend Dramamine beforehand just in case! Regarding the actual whale sightings, we probably saw about 6 whales in the time that we were out there. Most of the time we would see the large fin protruding from the water a few times, and then we'd see the tale come up before the whale made a deep dive into the water. We saw one turtle as well. No spinner dolphins when we were out but I believe that those are a common sighting as well. The whales we saw were anywhere from 50-100 yards away, so we felt like we were pretty close, without being on top of them (they are huge!). Overall, we had a fantastic time. Just being out on the boat was worth the price, and the multiple sightings made it a great trip. Staff does not ask for tips, but we thought it was appropriate to leave one since they were so accommodating. I would certainly recommend to a friend!

Whale Watching Sail in Waikiki on the Honu Lani with Optional Transportation Available [Dec–Mar]

Such an awesome experience in my life

Reviewed by: bigtree

Everything was perfect, which was sunny day and the pick-up car to Kewalo Basin arrived on time, actually a little early at the appointment place. It was my first whale watching excursion. I really like to recommend this tour if you are available.

The catamaran that my wife and I got on board, I think, is the perfect size for agile movement for following the humpback whales race and watching them closely and even listening to the mysterious and marvelous whale songs. I think this neat ship is much better than massive cruises to watch fast-moving whales.

Staff who are kind and informative also helped us to have a good memory of the whale watching trip. They are very friendly and kind, especially their informative knowledge will help you better understand the humpback whales traits like why they came to Hawaii and what they do and so forth.

More importantly, I think, the staff really know well about the best spot where we can watch whales. Thanks to the wonderful staff, we really enjoyed and got a lucky chance to watch dozens of whales and their competition race as well as the show of spouting water. Moreover, we could watch tremendous whale breach at the end of our trip, which was carried over the mom whale accompanying its baby. It was really an unbelievable and unforgettable moment in our life. It’s worth your every penny.

I love my job

Reviewed by: Chris

We were picked up by a friendly gentleman who treated my older travelers very respectfully. When we got to the harbor the captain was very thorough yet fun with the way he spoke to us. We knew exactly what to expect and what to do.
When we got going, the crew was very friendly and spent a lot of time talking to us about whales and whatever else we wanted to ask about. They were very upbeat and wiling to get us drinks at any time. The boat was clean and the music was good.
I've been on many whale watching cruises and I would recommend this outfit to anyone. From the captain, who speaks fluent Japanese, all the way down the crew these people have passion for what they do and it shows.

Can I get ya anything?

Reviewed by: Arysa

We started our activity by getting picked up at our hotel by a friendly shuttle driver. We were with my mother-in-law and her sister. The driver suggested they used hotel restroom before we left, which was very nice, considering they were elderly and the restroom on the boat can be a little tricky to say the least.
When we got to the shipyard we were greeted by the captain and the crew. They were very thorough and professional.
We set off to find whales and the crew was very accommodating and interacted with everyone. They always asked if we needed anything.
We didn't have much luck spotting whales this day. We spotted a few in the distance and finally a mom and baby after looking an extra 30 minutes past our scheduled time.
Not really their fault, but a little disappointing.
I would recommend these folks. They are a good crew.

Whale watching cruise!

Reviewed by: Miki

We came to Hawai to celebrate my father's 70th birthday, and one of his must-do lists was the whale watching cruise.
We arrived at the harbor and the stuffs were very friendly and happy to assist us. The check in (as well as the reservation though the Veltra) was smooth and easy.
They offered us free non alcoholic beverages and snacks(fruits, chips and etc) at the bar on the cruise.
Once we left the harbor, the stuffs toughly us about the whales we were about to see. They were super friendly, and we learned a lot about the whales from them from this cruise which was awesome.
It was less than a 2 hr cruise with lots of focusing trying to find whales!! We saw at least 10 whales actions like a humpback breaching and tail-slapping!!
We all enjoyed it!

Fairly expensive dinner with a far away sighting of whale... Timing is the "Key"

Reviewed by: Whatnao

It was ok at best. There were three crue members in this activity and beverage(Approx. five kinds of Juice) and Snacks(Chips, Cookies, Apples, and Oranges) were provided. All crue members are friendly and helpful. Clean Deck and Interior.
You hope for the whale shooting out of the water with the earth shaking splash....keep hoping. Animals are unpredictable. We did see them blow air up it, but it was very far away and nothing like the pictures! I think it is all about the "right" timing to see something like "the" picture scene. Not worth the money in my opinion. Although all crues are friendly and helpful, obviously there is nothing they can do about the whales.

If I could give this cruise more than five starts I would!! This Whale watching cruise was the highlight of my visit to Oahu! The crew Josh, Julia and Jacob were outstanding! The perfect hosts! We witnessed several whale sightings and the crew was very informative about the whales, answering every and all of the guests questions. The catamaran we sailed on was very well kept and we felt safe on our ride out into the Ocean, we traveled at low speeds making the ride very pleasurable.

Yesturday we had a great adventure!
When my husbund and I went to this trip I thought we will see one or two whales very far away. But thanks Dave and his wonderful crew we saw so many things! We saw dolphins, turtles, fishes and whales of course. There were several points where we saw them. One of the whales jumped out the water many times and it was amasing.
It was like we saw Discovery channal but we saw this with our own eyes. We took so many beautiful pictures! The crew was very polite and nice to everybody. They came to us and other tourists and told us about whales habits, it was really useful and interesting.

Amazing whale watch!!!

Reviewed by: Natalia Berdnikova

For a long time tried to choose adventures, that we want to try in Hawaii- and whales watch was one of that we want to see for sure. We choose Waikiki Whale Watch Sailing Cruise (from Kewalo Basin)-and for 100% it wasn't a mistake. Our capital was Dave-really cool cap!)) First of all he told that we'll try to see whales, turtles, dolphins- and he realized all programm! I red a lot about such trips, so we were ready that we wouldn't see whales too close- so my advise- the better optics u have-the better photos ull have. If u have go-pro take it for sure, cause u can make reAlly cool video under the water with dolphins, which were really close to boat). So really want to advise this trip-u ll never regret about it-we never saw whales and it was really great emotions. One more thing-don't take trip on a big boat-our was really comfortable, only 17 people-so it was easy to take pictures and run from one side of boat to another, trying to make good photo))

Found a whale, lucky!! くじら発見、ラッキー!!

Reviewed by: くんつ

I participated in whale watching, knowing it was the season for it. After being picked up from our hotel in Waikiki, we arrived at Kewalo Basin in about 15 minutes. Since it was morning, there was hardly any wind, and I felt relieved that we could set sail without worrying too much about seasickness. Out of the 15 people on board, half were Japanese, and there were many families with children.

After we set sail, we could see the hotels of Waikiki from the sea, which heightened our excitement, and we were very satisfied to see Diamond Head backlit by the morning glow. Suddenly, a flying fish zipped by in front of us, and the boat erupted with cheers. About 15 minutes after boarding, when we looked in the direction pointed out with “OVER THERE,” we spotted them—whales! According to the explanation, there were two mother and calf pairs that come to warm Hawaii for raising their young during this season before moving on to Alaska or Canada. I readied my camera and captured the scene of them spouting water, and after a few tries, one of them slapped its tail. After that, it dove deep, and nothing happened for over five minutes. They moved away.

As we waited for the next sighting, unexpectedly, we saw a spout from a different direction... After witnessing such scenes more than three times, we returned to port, feeling a bit reluctant to leave the whales. According to the captain, the whale watching season is from December to April. We were lucky to see them multiple times today. The day before, they hadn’t been spotted, and it seems December is still early for them. I truly felt that luck played a part in this experience. By the way, in the afternoon, there was an astonishing downpour. I really felt lucky to have spent such a fortunate time.

ホエールウォッチングの時期であることを知り、参加しました。
 ワイキキのホテルからピックアップ後、約15分でケワロ湾に到着。午前中ということで、風もほとんどなく、酔い止めが少し心配な私たちにも安心して出航できそう。いっしょに乗船した15名のうち、半分が日本人でした。子供連れが多かったです。
 出航後、ワイキキのホテル群を海上から見ることができ、ワクワク感がさらに増し、朝焼けの中、逆光のダイヤモンドヘッドにも大満足。すると、目前にトビウオがぴゅーんと。船内は歓声が沸く。乗船後、約15分後”OVER THERE”指さす方向を見ると、いました。くじら君たち。説明によると親子2頭、この時期は、子育てのため温かいハワイにやってきて、その後アラスカやカナダ方面に移動するという。カメラを構えて、潮吹きのシーンを撮ると何度目かにしっぽをパチンとする。しっぽパチンからは、深く潜ってしまい、5分以上何も起こらない。移動してしまうのだ。
 次はどこから、待っていると全く予期せぬとこから、潮が・・・こんな光景を3度以上見て1時間半後、くじらに名残惜しさをもちながら寄港。
 キャプテンによると12月から4月がホエールウォッチングのシーズン。今日は何度も見ることができてラッキー。前日は見られなかったとのこと、12月はまだ早いらしい。運もあるのだなとつくづく感じました。ちなみに午後は、びっくりするくらいのスコール。本当にラッキー、ラッキーの時間を過ごすことができました。

I was moved by the whales! クジラに感動!

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

In December, we went on a trip to Hawaii. Since we wanted to do something special that can only be done at this time of year, we participated in a whale watching tour as a couple. The weather was clear with a beautiful blue sky. We got into the pickup car in front of the hotel and headed to the port. That day, we were the only participants, making it a private cruise. The three staff members were all friendly, allowing us to enjoy the experience with peace of mind. Since the season had just started, there were reportedly very few whales, but shortly after departure, we spotted two whales! Their tails were distinctly whale-shaped, and even from a distance, I was moved to see a whale for the first time. Following the whales, a cute sea turtle appeared in front of the boat. Then, a pod of dolphins showed up! They swam energetically around the boat, having a great time. We were also captivated by the beauty of Honolulu's cityscape and beaches from the sea. It was a very enjoyable cruise. On the boat, there were drinks like juice and alcohol, as well as snacks and fruit, making for a comfortable experience.

12月のハワイ旅行。せっかくならこの時季しかできない事を、ということで夫婦でこのホエールウォッチングに参加しました。当日は快晴の気持ちいい青空。ホテル前から迎えの車に乗り込んで港へと向かいました。その日はちょうど参加者が自分達だけで、まさにプライベートクルーズ。3名のスタッフは皆親切で、安心して楽しむことができました。まだシーズンが始まったばかりだったため、クジラはかなり少ないとのことでしたが、出港してほどなく2匹のクジラが!尾ひれはまさにクジラの形で、遠目でしたが初めて見るクジラに感動しました。クジラに続いて船の前には可愛らしい海亀が登場。さらに、今度はイルカの群れが!しばらく楽しそうに船の周りをバシャバシャと元気に泳いでいました。そして、海から見るホノルルの街並みやビーチの美しさにもしばし感動。とても楽しいクルーズになりました。船では、ジュースやアルコール等の飲物の他、スナックや果物もあり、快適に過ごすことができました。

Relaxing 2 Hour Boat Ride

Reviewed by: Jensen Wakayama

I made this booking at the last minute because my best friend from Ukraine was visiting Honolulu.

The reservation was made late at night and confirmed promptly by 8AM the following morning.

The 3 man boat crew was very polite and friendly which was fantastic. The boat and the head were clean. No complaints there.

I had made the booking with the obvious intention of viewing whales. But Mother Nature had other plans. We spent the full duration of the ride seeing just blue water, small fish and the occasional airplane flying overhead. Relaxing, but not what we had come to see.

I was very pleased that the company which provides this service has a policy regarding cruises that do not encounter any whales. Because we did not see any whales, the boat captain provided us with a voucher allowing us to take another whale watching cruise with the company at no charge. I will certainly be seeing them again soon.

Small ship means can turn easy to chase whale. Unfortunately, we couldn't watch whales much closer. But, Crews tried to do their best.
During activity, when my wife wanted to lay down on storage of life jackets, Captain brought life jacket for her to use it as cushion. Other staff was very kind for our kids. It was fun and much enjoyed.

The level was lower than I had imagined. You might see whales, but it's better to think of it as a lucky chance if you do. Simply going out to the open sea and feeling the pleasant breeze makes it worth the price. It's also suitable for busy people since there's no need to go to the port for a pickup.

Our family did the private boat charter when on vacation in Oahu just a couple of weeks ago, after booking from the Internet and just hoping we would get a tour that we would not forget. We were not disappointed at all, not realizing this company catered largely for Japanese tourists we were so impressed with our charter.

Reviewed by: あーさん

I participated because it departed from the pier in front of the Hilton and the price was low, but we didn't see any whales, and the one-hour sailing ended in no time.

They mentioned that we could only go as far as Diamond Head (in English), and there was no particular explanation on the way back to the harbor. When I asked for water, it smelled musty...

However, I thought of it as sailing on a yacht and gave up.

I wonder if it's better to go on a larger boat when you really want to see whales? I heard that smaller boats can get closer, so I had quite a bit of expectation, but I thought it might be limited to boats that depart from Ko Olina.

ヒルトン前の埠頭から出発ということと、値段の安さで参加したのですが、クジラは見れないまま、一時間のセイリングはあっという間に終わってしまいました。

ダイヤモンドヘッドの前あたりまでしか行けないようなことを、言ってはいましたが(英語のみ)港に戻る時もとくに説明はなく、水を頼めば、カビ臭いし、、、

でも、ヨットでのセイリングと思って、あきらめました。

やはり、どうしてもクジラが見たい時は、大型船で行く方が良いのかな?
小型の船のほうが、近くまで行けるようなことを聞いたので、結構期待していたのですが、やはり、コオリナからとか出る船に限られるのかな?と思いました。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. During whale season, whales appear off the coast of Waikiki, and the captain was searching for them, but it seems we were unable to spot any on that day, which is unfortunate.

As you pointed out, the cruise is only one hour long, so we do not venture too far. We also apologize for any discomfort caused by the water we provided. We will ensure better quality control for the beverages served on board.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズにご参加いただき有難うございます。
クジラのシーズンになるとワイキキ沖にもクジラが出現しているため、クジラをご覧いただくためにキャプテンが探しておりますが、当日はご確認いただけなかったようで残念に思っております。

ご指摘いただきましたとおり、クルーズ1時間と短いため、あまり遠くまではでておりませんことご了承ください。なお、提供させていただいた水により不快なお気持ちにさせてしまい申し訳ございませんでした。船上で提供しているお飲み物の品質管理などを徹底させていただきます。

The weather was nice on the day of the cruise, and it was a fun experience. The contrast between the buildings of Waikiki and the natural beauty of Diamond Head was very beautiful and moving.

However, it was a bit disappointing for my wife, who had been looking forward to the whale watching cruise since before our trip.

当日は天気も良く楽しいクルージングでした。
ワイキキのビル群とダイヤモンドヘッドの自然の対比が大変きれいで感動しました。

ただ旅行前からホエールウォッチングクルーズを期待していた奥さんにとってはちょっと残念な結果となりました。

Unfortunately... 残念ながら・・・

I participated in the whale watching tour, but as others have mentioned, it didn't feel like that at all; cruising was the main focus. However, I originally signed up knowing that and thought it would be lucky if I got to see any whales, so I enjoyed it normally. Of course, I didn't see any whales, but I was satisfied...

ホエールウォッチングということで参加しましたが、他の書き込み通りそんな感じはさらさら無い、クルージングがメインです。でも元々それを承知で見れたらラッキーくらいで申し込んだので普通に楽しめました。もちろん?クジラは見られませんでしたけど満足でした。。。

Thank you for participating in the whale watching cruise. We are in contact with other captains to search for whales, but it seems that this information was not communicated to our guests, and we apologize for that. Please understand that due to the nature of wild animals, there may be times during the cruise when we are unable to confirm their presence. We look forward to serving you again.

ホエールウォッチングクルーズにご参加いただき有難うございます。
キャプテン同士で連絡を取り合いクジラを探しておりますが、ご参加いただいたお客様にはその旨伝わっていなかったようで申し訳ございません。
野生の生き物のため、クルーズ中にご確認いただけない場合もございますことご理解ください。
またのご利用お待ちしております。
