Sunset Whale Watching Private Charter in Waianae

My group and I came to Hawaii knowing we wanted to snorkel and see marine life, and I found this tour while searching for the best turtle and dolphin excursions. I’m sooo glad I did! My group was a little hesitant at first because it cost a bit more than some of the other tours, but I had a feeling it would be worth it, especially because it’s run by marine biologists. I really appreciated that they focus on respectful dolphin encounters instead of chasing the animals or stressing them out. That’s exactly the kind of tour I want to support. Micky was our guide, and she was phenomenal. She was so knowledgeable and genuinely cared about our experience. Captain Matt was the same way. They both really wanted to make sure we had the best time possible. The boat was also small, I think around 10 people max, so it never felt crowded. It felt intimate and special. We got to encounter so many dolphins, then saw an insane number of spinner dolphins, and even though we were getting close to our cutoff time, Micky and Matt still took us to another snorkel spot so we could see fish and turtles. It was honestly magical. My group all agreed this was the best tour of the trip and an absolute highlight. Definitely book this tour. You won’t regret it! Also, Micky took so many videos of our interactions and emailed it to our group afterwards. That was so kind! Also, Micky’s husband was on the tour with us, and he does cage-free shark diving through Island View, one of the oldest companies on the North Shore. Again, it sounded like a very respectful wildlife experience. We ended up booking that shark tour too, which is something I never would have done or even known about if we hadn’t taken this excursion. Thanks, guys, for an unforgettable experience!
