Great tour! Captain Nick, Ian, and Nicole made sure everyone had a good time. I saw plenty of dolphin and fish. And even a couple of sea turtle I’ll point out that I was very nervous about getting into the ocean, and I felt safe the entire time.

All three guys running the boat were knowledgeable about the process slabs and the west side where we’re going. Asked us if we had questions and very friendly. We found schools of sleeping dolphins and even though they weren’t too close it was fun spotting them a little ways from the boat. We did see a couple of turtles from the boat too. Our guide saw a turtle and man o war in the water but we couldn’t catch up to the group in time. Breakfast was a little fruit and biscuit, lunch on the way back was a turkey wrap and chips, two drink tokens and ice water available anytime. We got great weather, learned about the history of this part of the island and were well taken care of. Looking forward to booking again.

Great trip where we saw whales and snorkeled and saw turtles. The water was very deep and many of the fish were down deep so were difficult to see. My only complaint from this tour company is that you are forced to wear fins or you cannot snorkel.

We had a beautiful day on the water with Hawaii Nautical. The crew were super friendly. The weather was perfect during the morning outing. We saw dolphins, whales, turtles, a sting ray, and plenty of fish!
For the included items: The prescription goggle that I requested was not available unfortunately and the snorkel that I did get was a little wonky. A towel is not included so bring your own if you want one. Breakfast included a fluffy biscuit and fruit. Lunch was a nice turkey wrap with chips. We also had a some yummy alcoholic mixed drinks.
One area of improvement would be the organization of the transportation add-on from Waikiki. On this tour, it was just us and one other small group coming from the city. We were expecting a branded shuttle, but it ended up being a taxi, which caused some confusion on where taxis would pick up versus a shuttle, particularly at the larger hotels with multiple entrances. On the return trip, a similar confusion about whether we were getting on a shuttle or a taxi.
But, overall, a great experience on the water with a smaller, eco conscious tour!

This was obsoletely, without question the highlight of our trip. Capitan Jack and crew (Kaden and Bronsen) were outstanding hosts. We were staying at Waikiki and it was about an hour drive to get to the west side of the island, away from the huge crowds and glamorous shopping centers. It was a wonderful escape. Within the first few minutes were were boating with a beautiful pod of spinning dolphins they followed us all the way to our snorkel location. We saw octopus, urchins, starfish, and several sea turtles. The pod that surfed along with us also did a drive by to say hello while we were in the water. The visibility was surreal. 40 feet down, crystal clear. The cocktails were also very delicious. After a good long snorkel session, we took off again and were able to spot humpback whales as the crown of the journey. It is memories we will have forever!

This was a great experience for us! 4 adults and 10 year old. We loved the boat, it was large enough to not feel on top of others and sailed smoothly even with some rollers, the sails are beautiful! The crew was three locals that where very nice and knowledgeable, we learned a lot about the island and places to go. They spotted dolphins, turtles, puffers and other beautiful fish while snorkeling!! The food was good and the drinks delicious and strong. Highly recommend booking with them and enjoying a day at sea while on island!

Perfect morning cruse. Pick up promptly at Marriot Beach Club by Bronson, gave us a pleasant ride to along the west coast describing the various beaches on way to the Cameraman.
The tour itself was amazing, we were surrounded by Pigmy Killer Whales! I understand that this was not a common occurrence but captain did a great job of keeping us with the pod. Caleb gave many interesting facts about this species. We also saw spotted dolphins.
Would recommend!
