Hawaii Nautical - Waikiki

What a fantastic day! We went on the midday turtle cruise and had THE BEST TIME! It was Joey's first official cruise and Nick jumped in the water with us to snorkel!We had the best day - another tour provider cancelled on us and the concierge at the Ritz Carlton Residences recommended this one. Joey, Doug, Andrea and Nick did a fantastic job! We saw turtles and the boat was very clean and we always felt safe. Thanks all! We will book again next week when we are back in Waikiki!

We went on the 3 pm whale watching trip which lasts about an hour and a half. They leave from Kewalo Harbor which is on the west end of Ala Moana. They motor on a large catamaran to the spots where they expect to see humpback whales. They also rely on reports from other whale watching companies to find the spots. We saw around 8 whales (backs and tails). No breaches. If you don't see any whales, they give you one free return trip. This month (February) is supposed to be within the season for the humpbacks. They provide free drinks which includes adult beverages. This is a pretty laid back trip which I enjoyed. There really isn't any educational aspect offered up.Friendly crew and fellow passengers. Gorgeous afternoon on the South Shore.

Nice clean ship with attentive crew. Drinks were good but skip the appetizers. Captain did his best to provide good views of the sunset and whales!

I loved this sunset cruise! The food was amazing! The drinks were strong! The experience was priceless and the views were breathtaking! FYI:* You will have to remove your shoes and place them in a tube ( or bring a bag like we did and place them inside that)* Before you find seat there will be a safety briefing on the front area of the boat.* You should arrive early even if you are waiting right out of the gate area. This way you can have better position to get to an area you want to sit on the boat. * BRING A BLANKET AND/OR TOWEL!! Especially if you sit on the back of the boat or you are seating on the side of the boat. You will get wet and you will be cold and wet for the rest of the trip! You can never go wrong having it and not needing it then needing it and NOT HAVING IT !* Be prepared for some of the best views you've ever seen! I brought a selfie stick and so glad I did! There will be amazing music to jam to as well.. * DO NOT SEAT ON THE BACK OF THE BOAT IF YOU GET MOTION SICKNESS . YOU WILL FEEL EVERY WAVE ! I loved it! But I know many don't so be careful.Overall I recommend this sunset cruise. We will definitely be back. It's a Must!

Absolutely loved this excursion . It was so efficient and the crew could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Our crew was Flynn, (theCaptain,) and Andrea and Nick. They were so nice and anticipated our every need by giving us information about whales, pointing out whales, (blow holes,) taking photos for us, and most importantly.....serving us drinks! We were on an early morning whale watch cruise and didn't even know about a bar; let alone an open bar. It was open immediately because the crew informed us " it's 5 o'clock somewhere!" They had a few kinds of beer and an assortment of liquors. I had some delicious Kona Big Waves, my husband and friends had bloody Marys and screwdrivers. Andrea would actually get us drinks and bring them up to us so we wouldn't have to carry them on the rocky boat.Our cruise was fun and a little wavy. (Which I liked) The boat was only about 1/2 full so we weren't crammed in like sardines. Weather was perfect and we had a few blowhole sightings but no actual whale sightings. They gave us a voucher for another free cruise since we didn't really see whales. (Not sure if we'll be able to use it though.)Everyone enjoyed the cruise. Smooth sailing! Highly recommend!

Great crew and experience, highly recommend! Didn't get to see whales on our whale watching but they gave us a voucher to come back for free that never expires.

The crew is great! And hilarious! I would use them again. My son had a blast. My husband enjoyed his birthday gift. Would do it again.

Went to their sunset cruise and it was very fun. Captain and crew members were very welcoming and accommodating! Crew members were able to chat with guests. The cruise served drinks and dinner with a view. I'd recommend it for something to do later in the day to relax and enjoy the weather and the city of Waikiki!

Capt. Joey, Clay and Megan are a great crew and made the excursion and outstanding experience. We were on a sunset cruise that was going great until the whale was spotted and we all enthusiastically agrees to turn it into a whale watching cruise. It was an unbelievable and once-in-a-lifetime experience that my wife and I will never forget. Highly recommend this cruise and this crew particularly.

Anthony and his crew were great we did the tour with sea turtles and dolphins and we got to see a large pod of dolphins and multiple turtles during the exploration. We had to go out to Mauka (spelling?!? ) to see them but it was amazing. We had a great time. It was 3 hours total 45 min of snorkeling and then sightseeing. Anthony was very entertaining. They are very good at their job and we felt very safe with them during this tour. I would highly recommend this excursion if you want to see the sea turtles of Hawaii and dolphins! Beautiful weather, a bit windy, but perfectly comfortable (not hot). Go to dock C
