A very enjoyable experience. We were 5 of only 8 guests on the boat. It is small so it’s a little rockier than the bigger boats but it was great to have the space to roam a little and watch in different directions. We saw the tail of a humpback going down!!! The sunset was gorgeous!!! Our captain, Mary is definitely a skilled operator. This boat does not have information flowing over a speaker. Aaliyah, mate is personable and informative. We recommend this adventure.

The crew helped you on and off the boat and informed you what to expect heading out for the cruise. They had snacks and drinks available for the riders. Liked that they informed us that the open seas will do what the seas will do (a little choppy) but a wonderful time by all 6 of our party.

This was a fun cruise! The crew were friendly and accommodating. The route was really enjoyable because it hugged the Waikiki Coastline almost to Diamond Head.

Wonderful trip. It does get very windy and chilly towards the second half! So be sure to wear for the weather ;)
Patrick_O, Mar 2026
Truly the best experience I've had here in Hawaii. So happy I decided to go! I went by myself but everyone was up front and I had the back of the boat to myself! The Captain, she's absolutely amazing!

Our experience was amazing. We sailed out and saw two whales and with their tails out. The sunset was very beautiful . Highly recommend to take this tour out for the sunset!
Kate_C, Jan 2026
We had the most fantastic experience with Charter Oahu! It is #1 on Viator for a reason. The crew was pleasant and informative, and took pictures of us with the sunset! They even tried to get some whale watching in. Would definitely recommend over the super crowded party boats for a more laid back personalized experience.

Richard_C, Dec 2025
Waikiki coastline and sunset were beautiful. We did however feel somewhat rushed to board the boat before the scheduled departure time. Not much commentary of what we were seeing. Snacks (chips and fruit drink) were just ok. Boat itself was a little noisier than expected.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Aloha Richard. Thank you for the honest review. I have followed up with our team and we are working to make sure the issues you’ve stated are addressed. Thank you for joining us.
