Oahu
We purchased the Royal package and it was worth the extra $. We were the first to go up to dinner and front row seating.
The show was funny and entertaining! The Chief put in a lot of funny jokes and taught the audience some Hawaiian words and phrases. Food was great, with roasted pork as the centerpiece with lots of authentic-tasting foods.
Would definitely do it again!
Such an awesome experience! Gorgeous catamaran, super friendly and upbeat Captain and crew, yummy sliders and great drinks! We will definitely be back to sail off into the sunset!
Moana sailing Company gave my wife and I an outstanding sunset cruise. It was a very peaceful cruise and the staff was friendly and very genuine! I love the crew and the service!
My last night in Hawaii was with Chief’s luau. The food was great, the performers was breathtaking and the whole evening was delicious. I’ll never forget how welcomed I felt with that lei made with real flowers. I kept it . It simply a must do . It was my birthday and they sang happy birthday to me. I could go on an on. Great party.
This trip was awesome! We are a family of 4 (kids age 5 and 11) and everyone LOVED our time on the boat. The crew was amazing - very informative and helpful. They looked out for everyone’s safety but also made sure folks were having fun. Food was good and they had adult beverages for purchase. Very kid friendly - had child-sized snorkel gear and life jackets. The boat was very clean. Not to mention the beautiful landscape as your backdrop for swimming/snorkeling/turtle-watching…pictures can’t adequately capture just how breathtaking it all was. We didn’t want it to end!
Best show so far! Met my expectations and above!
They were very interactive. Lots of jokes, food was great. The atmosphere was nice and the overall staff was very good. Feels very authentic to me
Will attend again if I ever go back to Hawaii.
Super fun time and great view if Diamond Head, also loved the crew!
We had a very good experience on board this vessel. The crew was kind, courteous and knowledgeable. Captain Jesse and the crew were very entertaining. We did find a whale about 50 yards off the bow, caught a shot of his tail! Great boat ride, beautiful scenery and gorgeous weather! Well worth the price of admission! Thank you to everyone involed!!!!!!
We were so impressed with how friendly everyone was! We loved the history lessons! The buffet was wonderful! And the breath of life show was great. I can see why everyone tells you to have the whole experience!! It was so convenient to have the tour bus pick us close to our hotel.
I took my folks on this boat trip, and they had a great time. We spotted a whale about 50 yards out and saw a bunch of flying fish. The crew were fun and informative and showed us all sorts of sites. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see a whale or just enjoy a big catamaran.
Great time was had by all. Crew helped celebrate my hubbys birthday. Superior customer service. Food was fantastic!!
We had a great time on the lunch snorkel tour in Oahu! The trip is exactly as described. Hanging out on the sand bar was incredible and the turtle watching was stellar, we saw many turtles and even a large sting ray. Lunch was tasty and alcoholic drinks were $5 each. Crew was helpful and personable. The snorkeling around the reef was awesome! Bring lots of sunscreen, your own towels, an underwater camera or go pro for pics, and something easy and light to wear before and after getting in the ocean.
This was not our first luau so we had something else to compare it to. The story line/context of the dance/show was very similar, performed better at Chief’s, the comedy was fantastic but the food fell so far short I felt like we paid way too much for the overall experience.
Captain Robin and the crew were great and our excursion was well organized. I never felt rushed and had ample time to enjoy the sandbar. I especially appreciate the care the crew took with our little ones. We will DEFINITELY be coming back during our next vacation.
Aloha, thank you so much for your feedback.
Captains and crews are working so hard to exceed customer satisfaction. Mahalo for the compliments. We'll share this with Captains.
Please come back again. Mahalo!
We were blessed with great weather, and we were able to see many turtles, creating wonderful memories for three generations! The lunch was delicious as well. The Japanese staff were very kind and helpful. It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the whole day!
天気にも恵まれ、沢山の亀もみれて親子3代良い思い出が出来ました♡
ランチも美味しかったです
日本人スタッフの方もとても親切で助かりました♪
It was so beautiful and I enjoyed the whole day!
I was shocked to find we could not bring our purses in to the facilities. I did not read anything about this on my reservation. There were a lot of people at Pearl Harbor and there was not enough time during the excursion to go into the museums and gift shops. I felt rushed the whole time. Our driver was super nice and very knowledgeable. I feel like this excursion needs more time! There was not even enough time to eatunch and we were starving!
At the Royal Hawaiian Theater, I enjoyed the Hawaiian dance performed by beautiful men and women, along with wonderful singing, and a show featuring impersonators of Elvis and Michael, all from my VIP seat, which allowed me to see everything up close and personal. The food was also incredibly delicious. It was the best night in Hawaii.
ロイヤルハワイアンシアターで、美男美女のハワイアンダンスや素敵な歌声、またエルビスやマイケルのそっくりさんのショーに、VIP席だったので、目の前で見られて迫力満点でした。
食事も大変美味しく頂きました。
最高のハワイの夜でした。
Positives:
- friendly crew
- large boat
- BYOB
- boat was not crowded on the night that I went (only about 10 passengers total on a Thursday night)
- good areas to sit around boat and up front on nets
Negatives:
- beware that many sunsets on many nights are occluded by clouds (the company obviously can't control this)
The vessel is more like a ship than a boat like it has 3-4 levels. Very organized and informational! The staff is friendly. Lots of room to walk around. They offer motion pills or some kind of ginger cocktail to prevent motion sickness. They also offered small snakes like chips. There wasn't an option for breakfast.
I went in February and and I saw about 7-10 whales( sprays, tip of their tails). I think 1 or 2 came close to the boat. I enjoyed it. My little one (5yo) was mostly running around...lol.
I participated in this tour with my daughter who lives in Hawaii. It is stated that lunch is included in the tour, but currently, it is not. I confirmed with the staff whether lunch was included, and they said it is available for purchase at an additional cost. Also, there was no explanation about the whales in either English or Japanese.
I didn't have high expectations for lunch based on past comments, but since lunch is not included, I feel that other tours would have been better. (It's not good to have misleading information...) The main purpose of this tour, which was to see whales, was fulfilled as we were able to see them multiple times, so that was good.
Regarding infection control measures, there was no confirmation of vaccination or presentation of negative test results. The staff wore masks, but all the passengers were not wearing masks. It's best to think that this is the current situation in Hawaii. Additionally, many tourists are coming from the mainland United States, where overseas travel has become difficult. There were a lot of people on this tour as well. I thought we were the only Japanese and Asians there.
ハワイ在住の娘と参加しました。
こちらのツアーは昼食付きと記載されていますが、現在はついていません。スタッフにもついていないんですか?と確認しましたが、昼食は有料で購入との事でした。また、クジラについての解説は英語、日本語ともにありませんでした。
過去のコメントから昼食への期待はあまりしていませんでしたが、実際に昼食がついていないのであれば、他のツアーの方が良かったなーと思いました。(嘘の記載は良くないですね...)
このツアー1番の目的である、鯨は何度も見ることができたので良かったです。
感染対策に関しては、ワクチン接種確認も陰性証明書提示もありません。スタッフはマスクをしていますが、乗客はみなノーマスクです。それが今のハワイの現状だと思った方が良いです。それと、ハワイは海外旅行ができなくなったアメリカ本土からたくさんの観光客が来ています。このツアーも大勢の方が乗船していました。日本人、アジア人は私たちだけと思いました。
Dear Barney,
Thank you very much for your recent use of our services. We are delighted to hear that you were moved by the whales.
Thank you for your feedback regarding lunch. Upon checking, I found that it was not included in the tour. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the error in the tour page description. Although you compared it with other tours and booked this one that included lunch, I deeply regret that it left you feeling disappointed on the day of the tour.
We have corrected the description you pointed out. To prevent similar inconveniences in the future, we will strive to improve our services.
Thank you for your understanding.

This was one of my best days on O’ahu and every day was great. Definitely a must. The scenery, swimming is wonderful. Of course the highlights were the turtles. The crew is very nice and helpful. if you don’t feel comfortable snorkelling they guide you and stay with you. The three hours is not too long or short.
We're very pleased to hear you're having a great time at the sandbar.
Thank you so much for kind words and sharing your best experience with us with the Capt. Bruce tour.
We're looking forward to seeing you in neat the future. Mahalo!
I recommend it not 100% but 1,000,000% and believe me that they are not paying me for these letters that I write, good organization, punctual, very clean, everything
Very we enjoyed a lot my kids had fun food was good dance was good very nice
The Luau was a nice night out. If you are going a couple of tips: 1) opt in for the bus transportation. The site is about an hour from Waikiki in an industrial park. 2) Get the VIP seats. We were seated right next to the stage and received a photo and 3 free drinks. The stage show was excellent and authentic. The food was hit or miss. It was served cafeteria style where you had to go in a serving line like a cafeteria. The pork was 5 stars, while the rest of the meal was 3 stars. Overall, a nice evening next to the ocean (Excellent Views).
Aloha John, Thank you so much for choosing our luau, and so happy to hear that you had a nice experience. We feel the bus transportation is the best option, it may be a long ride getting there, but safer on your return if you're going to enjoy a few cocktails. Our VIP, or Plumeria Luau package was a great choice, with the extra amenities, 3 drink tickets, and the souvenir photo, as well as the Premiere seating! We appreciate you taking time to share your experience with us, and hope you will share your beautiful photos with your friends & family! Mahalo, Germaine's Luau
We had such a great experience on this cruise. The staff was on top of it. The meal was great, the entertainment was outstanding! My husband and I had a wonderful time. We strongly recommend.
Fantastic ride - great whale sightings. Convenient shuttle.
We had a very enjoyable trip near Waikiki to view fish and turtles. Our captain and guide were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They knew where to take us to look at the animals. They provided lots of information about the fish as well as the area near which they were found. They were also very helpful with taking pictures with great backgrounds. The timing was just about right--not too long bringing on boredom in younger patrons, and not too short with no opportunities to actually see the animals in their natural habitat. It was a good experience for our entire group.
Thank you Dolphin quest!!My favorite sea animal and it was awesome to get lose and personal with them!
This luau is an absolute MUST! Everyone was so welcoming and put on the best show! You have a chance to learn about Hawaiian culture and the comedy intertwined into the performances kept us rolling with laughter. The whole family helps with the performance and you can absolutely tell that they love what they do. It was the most fun that we had here in Hawaii! The food was delicious, as well! Highly recommend!
Aloha and mahalo to you! to say we are an "absolute must" is indeed heart-warming. Please be assured that we will keep your kind words to heart to be able to always be at our best during the luau - we are sooo thrilled to have had you as a guest and we are hoping to see you again when you're back. We couldn't be any more thankful to you for your review. Mahalo, we really really hope to see you again! ^__^
It was so much fun with just a little glitch (they didn’t tell us our lunch was there and we have been waiting). But it was a great experience!
Thank you to all the staff who looked after everyone’s safety!
Mahalo!!
