“Do not book this trip thru Viator. Cost less booking on your own. And DO NOT upgrade to VIP tix. A complete waste of money. All you get is on boarding first. But I am giving this cruise a 5 Star rating b/c the crew was outstanding! Very attentive and friendly. We saw whales which was a big plus since there were clouds and no sun this evening. Very relaxing and great views of Diamondhead and the coast line of Waikiki.”

The girls working were so attentive making sure everyone on the boat was well taken care of. Thank you Sara and Audra for taking pics and getting our drinks!
