    Humpback Whales Tail
    Rehan Ahmed S.

    Amazing crew and staff!! They were prompt and time for a 7AM start which meant they woke at dawn to help their customers, they were so keen and excited on spotting the whales with us, they were super informative. We prayed as a group to visit and seek permission to see the whales, our 'Moana' was so strong we spotted a lot of them. At the end of the tour they performed a special dance as well. Huge thanks and shout out to Sherry, Adrian, Jerry and Koana! Strongly recommend the group and company.

    Incredible experience! The whole crew was phenomenal! The captain Jeremy was great. The mc/plumber lol Ryan was the best. Bartender Jandy was top notch and the dj (forget his name) was spectacular! Highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting or local. 10/10 highly recommend, had an amazing time! Definitely doing it again next time we come. Unforgettable!

    Such a great experience!! One of the highlights of mine and my boyfriends trip to Oahu. Booked this for a Friday night sunset cruise for about $110 each person. Decided specifically for Friday because the night ends with a fireworks show!! Fortunately we were able to book last minute 2 nights in advance online. So glad I found this little gem on Google search for a sunset boat ride - just the vibe I was going for. 2 hour catamaran ride around the harbor of Waikiki, sippin on our $6-12 dranks, enjoying the views of the skyline and sunset, along with good music from the DJ into the evening skies, and ending the evening ride to a firework show was perfect for our last night in Oahu. The owner Richard was so personable and so outgoing. Made us feel very welcomed, as if he threw a party and we were invited guests haha. The crew was great, everyone had such welcoming attitudes and took drink orders throughout the boat so you didn't have to be the one to go up and down the deck. Boat was very clean. Had everyone take their shoes off and had personal baskets for your belongings and place under the bench/seats. If you're in Waikiki and want a little night out with music, dancing, drinks and the best views and ambiance - I'd HIGHLY recommend booking this ESP FOR FRIDAY night bcoz of the fireworks. Again - such a GREAT EXPERIENCE. Thanks Richard ! Happy cruising !!!

    Honolulu!

    Had so much fun on this sunset cruise. Staff was friendly, DJ was great, drinks were flowing, and everyone got to know each other by the end. I sometimes get seasick and had no issues so boat ride is pretty stable.

    Me and my group of friends had such an amazing time during this 2 hour sunset boat ride with music and drinks! I've done sunset cruises before but this by far was my favorite out of the 4 I've had the pleasure to embark on. Tiana, Rachel, Koa, Matt, and Captain Mark are the best crew! Right from the start, they were super friendly and made us feel at home on their vessel. They went out of their way to make sure we were all having a great time and had everything we needed. We were celebrating our friend's 40th birthday and they made him feel very special by having everyone on board sing happy birthday to him as we were heading back to the dock. I highly recommend booking an excursion with them if you're planning a trip to Honolulu! One of the best experiences ever!

    This boat is so nice to do a sunset booze cruise! It's large and spacious. It has a main level with the bar, DJ booth, bathroom (downstairs), and lots of seating. There is a ladder that leads you up to a 2nd level. The crew was really friendly and took great care of us. The DJ's were really great too! My friend and I did the BOGO deal and the tour and included one free drink ticket each. You can also use it for a soda if you don't drink alcohol.

    The crew is lively, friendly, & enthusiastic to make sure you reach your ultimate vibe. I've been on this sunset dj'd cruise many times with friends from out of town that want to party on the ocean while the sun sets. Our favorite times was when DJ COMPOSE was on- music was fire!!! Music aside, there's a upper & lower deck to explore while you cruise & party. Some days they have BYOB (which was awesome- but not sure if that's still a thing?)! Otherwise, 2 drink tickets are included- think seltzers, beer, or a nip of mezcal or vodka. Pro-tip: If you get sea sick easily, wear those pressure point bands or take motion sickness meds half a day prior to boarding. Bonus pro-tip: Grab drinks somewhere prior to boarding & take an Uber/Lyft to the dock.

    Had a great time on this sunset cruise. I booked thru TripAdvisor. A must-do for first time travelers to Hawaii like myself. Would recommend for couples, groups, or even solo travelers. The boat was decent sized, with a lower and top deck. There were about 20 guests and there was plenty of space for everyone to move around. The dj played great tunes. The staff was awesome. Special shout out to Rachel and Jillian who were so friendly and made sure everyone was having a good time. You get one free drink and the additional drinks were only about $5 each. The boat went out in the bay during sunset. We got lucky and even saw some whales! After sunset it goes by Waikiki for great night views of the skyline and lights. The pier was easy to get to. A short uber ride from Waikiki or there's also plenty of paid parking lots in the harbor.

    Sway, Ryan, Ben, Zoe and captain Joe provided a wonderful experience on this family friendly excursion! We all enjoyed snorkeling and my 14-year old loved the slide! Although we had some rain it didn't damper the experience. The staff were all super friendly and great about making everyone feel comfortable and safe. I took one star off because there was about an hour delay from when we got to the dock (the n time) to when we got on the boat. We still had the full amount of time on the water but if we had plans after, it would have been effected. Also the bathrooms were locked when we got back-that being said they found other restrooms quickly. I would definitely recommend this excursion!

    This was the biggest let down/disappointment of my vacation and I truly regret signing up for this. The email stated that beginning on 12/31 they would be serving drinks on the boat. When we arrived it turns out they did not have a liquor license and were like " you brought your own alcohol right?" .. no? Cause the email stated we would be able to purchase it on the boat. The staff told us there was a liquor store down the street so we could go get it, we had already walked 15 mins from the drop off area to the harbor so I didnt want to rush and walk even more because I had gotten dressed and done my makeup for that. It was obvious most people were unaware as some people did leave and go get drinks from said store. They dont allow shoes, so I had to hold my pee to avoid being barefoot in a public bathroom. The whole thing was very much drunk basic vibe boat and the music was like radio top hits. There was no soda or snacks available on the boat. If they had given me a lunchables and a soda it would have at least added another star. There was barely anyone on the boat and it was obvious there was some of the owners friends on there trying to hype it up, but it felt so forced. This is how i spent my 3 yr anniversary. Please stay away and pick a better sunset tour. I genuinely think the positive reviews are fake..

    We had a great time on this cruise! There was a live dj, plenty of lights, upper deck area and an awesome crew. To start we were picked up Kela, this guy is top notch. I'm from San Diego and it's nothing but good vibes and he made us feel right at home. We had a few stops to go but he told us about the area, cracked jokes and made everyone feel comfortable. Once we made it to the harbor Aiden, Devin and Shelbi helped us get checked in and on the boat. They helped show us around and got our drinks going! Captain Matt gave us the safety run down before heading out. The ride was smooth, the water was amazing, we were able to see fish swimming alongside the boat and Kela was able to tell us what kind of fish they were. The crew kept us a safe and let us party, I definitely had plenty of drinks, my girlfriend and I were able to dance and see views we would never have see. We met a couple great people, there were some older folks as well but we chatted with them and kept our party going. Friday nights they do fireworks after sunset

    See all

    We had the most incredible experience with Living Ocean Tours during our last visit to Oahu. We had…read moregone to Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve on a prior trip, but had not done anything guided and did not have any luck seeing turtles (though it was still beautiful and we saw plenty of fish). My partner loves turtles, which is why we were so eager to find a memorable experience during our next trip. We found the Living Ocean Tours Turtle Canyon experience through Viator and paid about $80/person which we felt was incredibly reasonable. We saw prior reviews stating that the best time to go is early morning, so we decided to take the first boat out. This was honestly a pro tip as we were not only one of three small groups on the boat, but were also the first boat out to the canyon making the experience feel intimate and memorable! We met the amazing crew who were so knowledgable, friendly, and safety-savvy. The ride itself took about 15 minutes each way. Once we arrived, we felt totally confident swimming out with the provided snorkels, life jackets, and flippers after completing the safety lecture. The crew also emphasized protection of wildlife, instructing us to do our very best to stay 10 ft away or more from the turtles. At times, the turtles would come close to us without our knowledge, so we were also instructed on how to gently swim away when this occurred to maintain safe distance. We spent about an hour and a half total in the water, which was more than enough time to see loads of turtles. When it was time to return, we enjoyed complimentary snacks and drinks on the boat. Thank you Living Ocean Tours for providing us with the experience of a lifetime! We would recommend Living Ocean Tours to friends, family, or anyone looking for a safe, comfortable, and immersive turtle viewing experience!

Lola was our main guide and not only was she well educated, attentive, and a great tour guide -- she also would go above and beyond to make your tour incredible. None of the other guides from other companies got off their boards, let alone free dove 40ft to try to get the reef shark to leave its rock so everyone could see it. She also provided many of our crew with their own free dive instruction so that they could try as well. Amazing trip, amazing sights, even better crew!

Being the first boat out in the morning makes a huge difference. The ocean was calm, conditions were excellent, and we weren't surrounded by multiple tour boats. For long stretches it genuinely felt like we had the reef to ourselves. Sam and Ella were in-cred-ible. Professional, knowledgeable, and very clearly people who love what they do. They struck the perfect balance of being attentive while still letting everyone enjoy the experience naturally. We felt extremely safe the entire time, and they were just genuinely joyful humans to spend the morning with. And I have to mention the turtles. We saw at least eight. Not just in the distance-- they were everywhere. Below us in the reef, gliding past us at the surface, popping up for air unexpectedly.
