AWESOME TOUR! beautiful clean boat that has minimum seating for a more intimate and less chaotic experience then the other big boats. Captain shanti and Lauren took us out and found a pod of big pilot whales and sharks that we got to swim with! After the pilot whales we went to the reef spot and relaxed there for a while. We saw plenty of turtles and fish and the water was so beautiful. All the Snorkel gear was provided for us and floatation gear as well if we had any weak swimmers. Lauren was a great guide in and out of water and shanti was a very informative captain. Thank you for taking us out it was super!!

Shanti and Lauren are such a friendly and knowledgeable crew! They went above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip. The boat is beautiful and the we loved the intimate small group setting. Will absolutely be coming back for more adventure with the dolphins and snorkeling.

We took our 4 kiddos to Hawaii and wanted a more private experience out on the water with them so we picked aloha ocean tours. We had such a fun experience with Shanti & Lauren! They made all of us feel safe and comfortable! We got to see spinner dolphins and we got to go snorkeling in a beautiful spot. The wind was making it harder but the kids still had an amazing time. Thank you Shanti for the unforgettable experience we had with you!

For anyone looking for a private ocean excursion, Captain Shanti and his beautiful boat will provide an epic experience. Having grown up in Hawaii, Shanti is extremely knowledgeable about the local area and wildlife. He can cater the experience to your desires and help you interact with a number of local species. On our last excursion, we had a whale shark swim right up to us and stay around for 5-10 mins before sinking back into the depths.

We had so much fun in this tour! Got the chance to swim with dolphins. Shanti and Sam are experts about the turtles and dolphins. Learned so much from them. Highly recommend to people who prefer a more intimate experience. This is the best tour I’ve had in Hawaii!

This is an amazing tour! Shanti is an amazing captain and water man. Even though conditions were windy and rough we were able to see dolphins and explore the reef, seeing loads of turtles and fish and even a large octopus. One of the most catered tours on island that I have been on where you feel like a person and not just a tourist. BOOK! BOOK! BOOK! You won’t regret it especially if you want to see amazing ocean wildlife.

Shanti and Sam are awesome! The boat is really new, clean, and comfy. The tour feels really premium, almost like a private tour, mainly because they focused on small group tours! They only take up to 6 people at once iirc. This means there will be plenty space on board, quality time, personalized experience. For us, we were lucky to swim with pygmy whales and sea turtles. Definitely worth the (small) extra cost compare to those crowded tours, highly recommended!

I joined this tour on 10/6 and had a great experience!! I’ve done several dolphin tours in my travels to Hawaii but this was by far the best one! The boat was super nice, crew & captains were knowledgeable and kind, and the best part is that there is only 6 guests max per tour. Compared to other tours taking out 70 people at a time! We will be back to take this tour every year.
