1.5 Hour Waikiki Whale Watching

This was not whale watching tour, it’s just a boat tour taking along side of the beaches and coming back in given time. There was no intention of showing the whales.

We were unable to go on this whale watching trip because of the weather. The only complaint I have is no one answers the phone . They apparently don't listen to their voice mail either because every time I have called, which is numerous, the voicemail is full.

Dillon, John and Chad were friendly and professional. The scenery and pacific blue were mesmerizing and dreamy. We saw several whales breaching and diving from a short distance. It was brilliant.

We've been on their whale-hunting cruise recently. We were lucky we spotted one towards the end of the tour and even saw a sea lion swimming in the bay. Honest price check in slow but everything so far done on time. Friendly and courteous staff

We enjoyed this little excursion. We didn’t get to see many whales, but we did get to see some wildlife.

Crew very nice and fun. We only saw a whale in a distance but just being out on the water was worth it

We had a great time whale watching this morning in Waikiki. Spacious boat with plenty of seats and walking around room. Great crew and a smooth ride. Had a whale pop up right next to us so close we could hear him breathe and later got the money shot with a full dive and tail wave. The scenery was great too just off of Diamond Head. As a bonus we saw flying fish on the way back in. Overall excellent experience.

This whale watching tour with E Sea Diver was conducted in extremely rough sea conditions. The waves were so bad that passengers could not safely stand or move around the boat, making the experience uncomfortable and concerning from a safety standpoint. What makes this more frustrating is that a later tour scheduled after ours was canceled due to the same sea conditions, clearly acknowledging that conditions were not suitable. Despite this, E Sea Diver refused to issue a refund for our tour. When I contacted them to discuss the issue, I was spoken to dismissively and told, “It’s the sea, lady,” instead of having my safety concerns addressed. There was no professionalism or attempt to resolve the situation. I understand the ocean can be unpredictable, but when conditions are unsafe enough to cancel later tours, customers who endured those same conditions should be treated fairly. Based on both the experience and the way it was handled afterward, I would not recommend E Sea Diver.

This experience was amazing, apparently it’s whale season! We did encounter a whale, and a large sea turtle. The captain and his crew were super kind and helpful!

Captain Chad and his crew were fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the whales. Even with choppy conditions, Captain Chad navigated with confidence and skill. An exciting experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!
