From the comfort of your private luxury yacht, enjoy an amazing experience with Hawaii’s humpback whales. Departing near Waikiki, enjoy a leisurely sail against the majestic backdrop of Diamond Head as you scan the water for majestic whales. Dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays are often seen while relaxing aboard with your family and friends.
The majestic Humpback whales migrate annually to the Hawaiian Islands between December and April. After a long crossing of the Pacific Ocean, the Humpback whales return to deliver their newborn calves off Hawaii’s warm, sheltered waters. Seeing these endangered species off Oahu is a true gift of nature!

Contemplated leaving this review but giving an honest opinion for other families in search of a private snorkel tour.
Pros: price was great for 3 hours $850
View was great.
Cons: sailboat was slower and sways more than a larger boat which caused all 7 of us to have different degrees on seasickness. To the point of two of us throwing up and feeling nauseous for days after. Not the company’s fault but a good piece of info for anyone not familiar with being on a smaller boat. The slower sail also cuts into time of snorkeling.
My main issue was the location we were dropped off was choppy and bare. Although we were told seeing sea-life wasn’t guaranteed I had certainly thought a private tour would take us somewhere worth seeing. We sailed 20-30 min away, was given no pointers for first time snorkelers, and then capt. Mike stayed on his phone while we tried to keep close to the boat in the choppy water. A little unnerving when you’re unfamiliar and have children snorkeling for the first time. Overall I had wished we chose something else to spend our money and day on.

Had a great day with Honolulu Sailing Company. It was really nice to have a private yacht and avoid the crowds packed on other boats. Our family really appreciated that the captain and crew were fully vaccinated and it made the tour very relaxing. It’s hard these days to find something to do that feels safe. We booked a snorkel cruise and will book a sunset sail before we head home to Arizona.
