Review of Port Waikiki Cruises Whale Watching Tour

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you're looking for an unforgettable experience while in Waikiki, look no further than the Port Waikiki Cruises whale watching tour! We embarked on this adventure right in front of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip.

From the moment we boarded the sleek catamaran, we were greeted by a friendly and knowledgeable crew consisting of Captain Nick, Anthony, Brad, and Corinne. Their enthusiasm for marine life was infectious, and they provided us with insightful commentary throughout the voyage. It was clear that they were passionate about what they do, which added an extra layer of enjoyment to the experience.

As we set sail, the stunning views of the coastline quickly faded into the background as we eagerly scanned the horizon for signs of whales. And let me tell you, we were not disappointed! We were lucky enough to witness several beautiful humpback whales breaching and spouting, which left us in awe. There’s something magical about seeing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat, and the crew made sure we had the best vantage points to soak it all in.

The tour included two complimentary drinks, which was a lovely touch. Sipping on a refreshing beverage while watching whales play in the distance made for a perfect afternoon. At just $98, the value of this experience is exceptional, especially considering the quality of service and the unforgettable memories created.

If you find yourself in Waikiki, don’t miss this whale watching tour! It’s a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours. They also offer turtle watching and evening dinner cruises, which I’m sure are equally delightful based on our experience. Trust me, this is one adventure you won’t...

Unfortunately the appetizer sunset cruise was not at all what I expected. I wavered between purchasing this cruise or the Atlantis Majestic but chose the Port Waikiki because it's "through Hilton" and ported from the Hawaiian Village where we were staying. It turns out that I probably should have gone with the latter or no cruise at all. While the crew did their best to be jovial and accommodating to the guests, the ride was uncomfortable, their were numerous guests aboard who endured sea sickness (myself included to an extent) and the "appetizers" were awful. They served purple Hawaiian bread, a dry pasta salad, a decent mixed green salad, chips with guacamole and salsa and a veggie tray. I would have possibly been able to negotiate my disappointment if this cruise didn't cost over $200 for two people! If alcohol makes you happy then there's a silver lining in this review for you...you get two" free" alcoholic beverages and the rest are $1 or $2 depending on your drink choice. Being on our honeymoon, my husband and I were looking for something more romantic for a sunset cruise so this was definitely not it on more...

Our turtle snorkeling adventure aboard the catamaran was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we set sail, Captain Jack ensured a smooth and enjoyable ride, making us feel safe and relaxed throughout the journey. His knowledge of the area and calm demeanor added to the fun, giving us plenty of fascinating facts about the ocean and wildlife.

Once we reached the snorkeling spot, Nick, our guide in the water, was absolutely amazing. He was friendly, professional, and patient, making sure everyone was comfortable with the gear and the snorkeling process. He pointed out several turtles, fish, and other sea creatures, giving us up-close encounters we’ll never forget. Nick’s passion for marine life was infectious, and he made sure we all had an incredible time in the water.

The entire experience was seamless from start to finish, with beautiful views from the catamaran and plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the ocean breeze. If you're looking for a perfect combination of adventure, relaxation, and stunning marine life, this turtle snorkeling tour with Jack and Nick is a must! Highly...
