Waikiki Whale Watching tour
Scott ·We were at the end of the season and we did not see any whales. We did however see a dolphin and turtles. Since we did not see any whales, they did offer to give the customers another chance to go out. While we did not see any whales they took us out further and made an minnie adventure out of it. Drinks were served on the tour, but the sea water over the bow ruined the drink. If you take the tour during the right time, I would highly recommend this tour company.
