Whale Watch, Dolphins, Turtles and Sightseeing Cruise (winter only)

Overview
Experience the beauty of Oʻahu South Shore as we sail toward Lēʻahi (Diamond Head) aboard the spacious Haleiwa Queen, a 50ft power catamaran, with 49 seats, an onboard restroom, a shaded deck, and complimentary beverages. Learn the history of Waikīkī where chiefs and commoners once lived. Our local born and raised crew members will share stories of their ancestors and experiences about growing up in this magical place, Hawaiʻi. Waterman their entire lives, our crew will share their passion, love, and respect for the ocean. You will explore the lively and vibrant ocean floor through our magnified glass bottom view ports. Enjoy the clear view of the Pacific Ocean as we cruise over live coral reefs, encounter tropical fish, honu (sea turtles), eel, reef sharks, dolphins, and humpback whales during season.

PLEASE NOTE: Our crew will make every effort possible to allow guests to see marine life, but since there are conditions beyond our control, we CANNOT guarantee any animal sightings.

When we got there, parking was a bit tight, but the company helped us find it easily. The cruise was pretty fun, and the crew were super friendly and welcoming. We got to see a variety of fish, turtles, and even a pod of dolphins that were swimming synchronously even though they were "sleeping". Even though we didn't find whales, it was a real fun trip, that I wouldn't mind going on again.

If you just want to go on a boat ride this is a nice ride. However, you will never see a whale when you are riding parallel to the beach in 30 feet of water. We did not even leave leave the shore line. The name is very deceptive and we could have done a dinner cruise for about the same price. I can't believe that they have been able to advertise as a whale watching tour and none of the probable have ever seen a whale on their brief tour along the shoreline. We saw surfers, snorkelers, fish and a sea turtle.

We got soaked by the rain and didn’t see anything. When asked for a refund/partial refund they said they would reschedule us for free, but i left the next day. I paid 120 for this, and the title of it is “whale watch, dolphins, turtles and sightseeing.” We saw nothing, and were pointed to a hotel and the airport. Also the boat was not “glass bottom,” it had windows in the corners that you could see nothing out of.
