We received 5 star service from the moment we stepped on the boat until the moment we had to say our goodbyes.

Truly spectacular charter and a shout out to our chef for creating a delicious dinner that was not just tasty but followed all our dietary restrictions. And he did the best magic show we'd ever seen to make the night even better! I'm still in awe to be honest. Miranda was in communication about every detail possible and catered to our every need. Thank you for the best anniversary celebration.

Service was non existent. They took us to a snorkeling spot where there were no fishes, not a single one. Asked them to take us to a better spot, after them acting like they were doing us a favor, they took us to another spot where there were no fish, well we saw 3 puny fishes. We saw more walking on the dock, a lot more. So let me summarize, old and slow boat, crappy service, bad route and location Would not recommend it and will not use them again. Not sure why I tipped them. Did I mention this was a private charter in case you were wondering.

What a wonderful experience. Our family requested a memorial for our parents, brother in law and…read morefamily pets on the water. My parents had lived in Oahu for 40+ years and we wanted to fulfill their last wishes. Devin and Captain Ken were kind and comforting as we planned the 1.5 hour cruise to scatter our beloveds' ashes near Diamond Head (I am on the east coast, so everything was over the phone or via email). Captain Ashley and her first mate were thorough, compassionate and helped us make the morning a truly meaningful ceremony. The Hawaiian Eco-urns were beautiful, as were the flower petals. We couldn't have planned the Blue Angel flyover- but it happened and my niece got the best photo (thanks, Dad, for winking at us from the heavens). While tears were shed, so were shared stories and big hugs. Thank you, Waikiki Boat Charters, for making the day so memorable. It was a perfect send off for those we loved.

We joined the 6 hour trip with Wild Side and it was amazing!!! The communication and preparations…read morebefore the trip was top notch, and the trip itself was unbeatable. We started at 6am and the morning was a tranquil visit to all the animals in the ocean. Our guides were Connor and Bethany, and they are knowledgeable naturalists and wonderful guides who took good care of us inside and outside of the water. Captain Kim knew we were birders and wanted to take photos of the shearwaters, boobys, and albatrosses and she always positioned the boat while giving us the best and most stable view for photography, while maintaining a respectful distance to the animals to avoid stressing them. We went out to Ka'ena point and had a great view of the Laysan albatross colony. There is truly nothing like having an albatross fly overhead. Along the way, we saw spotted dolphins actively feeding and playing, and also saw spinner dolphins! Seeing the monk seal lounging on the beach was a bonus. The wedge tail shearwaters had just returned so they were busy on the water. We also found masked boobys and brown booby feeding. We also saw turtles at their cleaning station! Connor and Bethany were knowledgeable about the landscape and the ecology and shared wonderful information. They are genuinely the nicest people! Highly recommended. The boat is comfortable and we were taking care of by the team (beverages, snacks, fruits, pastries). Thank you!

We did the 6 hour sea'fari with Bethany and crew and had just the most amazing experience. Our…read moredaughter is interested in marine biology so I emailed Wild Side to see which of their tours would be the best fit. We went out with 3 different boat charter companies during our time in Oahu and this was by far the absolute best. The west side is so much calmer than the other sides of the island and we got to see and do so much! We swam with spotted eagle rays, turtles, spotted dolphins, and got to see lots of living coral reef. We located and sent in coordinates for a "ghost net" that was too big for us to bring on board so that it could be collected to make sure that it didn't harm any creatures. Their ethics are so spot on - before we left the debris they used the gopro to make sure that there wasn't anything actively entangled. In deeper water we saw false killer whales - tons of them - and spent time watching them and learning about their behaviors. While another boat sent their crew in with them, we did not send anyone into the water with them and there was definitely a change in their behavior when people were in the water with them. We felt like we were part of marine biology on the island while also getting once in a lifetime experiences and photos. The photos are so amazing - definitely worth it to purchase! I can't imagine us going back to Oahu and not doing this again. Obviously the ocean is going to be different every time, but Wild Side's team was just so wonderful and we learned so much. Highly highly recommend!

There's no sign outside indicating that this is the tour company. (It's the bottom floor of the…read morebuilding.) But it's ok, the prices are great. We were going to book a Diamondhead tour but the employee suggested that we just take the bus over there to save money, which was really nice of her. We appreciated her honesty. We've come here for our tours/attractions for the past few years now. (It's a short walk from Kalakaua Ave.) Like I said, the staff is great. The ad is in bright yellow in the "What's On" Oahu booklet. Any three activities from $89.99 for the following: Grand Circle Island Tour (definitely recommended for all 1st timers- we did it), Sunset Dinner Cruise (did it 4x), Pearl Harbor & City Tour (did it), Society of Seven (saw it), Hanauma Bay Snorkel (did it- 4x), Parasailing (did it), Jet Ski, Waterfall Hiking (did it), for Germaine's Luau (add $17) (went to it). Also check out pricing for "Combo Savings" ranging from $52.99- $149.99.

He stated that the tour did not exist and I was wrong. Any attempt I made to speak afterwards he interrupted and said "If you do your research you will find that I am right". After trying four times to speak he hung up on me. Called back and got different guy. He stated that the tour did not exist as well. Well. Day before the tour was supposed to happen they charged me again for it and I finally got a confirmation email and phone call to confirm my details. I talked to their Customer Service again and they stated that yes the tour did exist and I was on it but they only charged me once and refused to give me my money back for the second charge. Ended up full on canceling the tour and had to get my bank to do a chargeback in the card to get my money back. Will absolutely never reccomend them to anyone. I hope no one ever has to deal with their supposed customer service as it is some of the worst I ever experienced.

In his open door Jeep, Wade showed us some of the most stunning beaches that were relatively untouched by tourists. We had the opportunity to swim in some of the clearest and warmest waters, I also had to chance to forage sea salt off the rocks! Following, we went off for a quick hike that had us scaling a volcanic cliff for some magnificent views (be sure to bring a good camera/charger for your phone). We finished the afternoon off at a wonderful local farm to table joint called: Monkey Pod Kitchen. Consensus from the family said the tour was truly one of the highlights of the trip! We all appreciated his extensive knowledge of the local culture, the socio-political environment, and Wayde's down to earth nature and flexibility. Highly recommended! Pro-Tip: bring extra sunscreen + hat, extra water (although he does supply every member of your tour with 1 bottle, some snacks for after your swim

The salad had a really yummy sweet papaya sauce. Cheesecake standard but very yummy too! Best food on a boat. They even got our baby some fish and noodles and Cheetos. Service: Alex was so kind and attentive. My son got sea sick and she packed his food, gave me barf bags and a towel. She showed a spot where it was less rocky. She was lovely interacting with the children. Showed them all she decorated. Ambience: very chill vibe, clean bathrooms, Desiree was a cool bartender making everyone comfortable. It was very fun experience for our family. We got great pictures with Diamond head and the sunset. Captain was kind to take pictures while steering the ship. Loved it and will do again when Oahu!

Location 3.5: Kewalo Harbor off of Ala Moana Blvd in Honolulu Oahu, Hawaii. This is a few miles to…read morethe west of Waikiki beach and not a short walk from there. You can drive, take a taxi, bus or Uber, or the Prince Kuhio staff can arrange pickup and drop off for you at an additional cost. There is plenty of paid parking at the harbor. Service 5: Super nice and friendly staff, all the way from the reception team to the photographer, the servers, the bartender, the chef and the captain. Ambiance 5: The enthusiasm of the staff rubs off on the guests. It is a happy gathering with breathtaking views. We took the Friday night dinner-cruise which lasted longer (and was more costly) so that we could enjoy the Hilton Hawaiian Village fireworks. The ship 3: The Prince Kuhio was first commissioned in 1984 as a passenger ferry. In 2020, she became part of the Prince Kuhio Tours family and was converted for use in scenic dining cruises. It can accommodate up to 138 passengers with plenty of outdoor and indoor space for dining, cocktails, and sightseeing. The upper, open deck where we sat, has 2 person and 4 person tables with all bench seats facing forward. The set up is optimized for sightseeing which is great. Viewing-wise, every seat is a good seat. Accommodation-wise, the setup is simple and not really fine-dining; hard seats with no cushioning, no tablecloths or cloth napkins, no metal silverware and no glassware. There is a bar facing the dining tables which at the time of our visit in August 2025 only served soft drinks and non-alcoholic mixers. For some undisclosed reason no alcohol was being sold on board but guests were encouraged to bring their own, which we did! Not sure if this is a long-term situation or temporary. The alcohol situation is not clearly stated on their website so if you plan to be drinking you might want to inquire ahead of time whether you should bring your own. The lower deck is enclosed and views are limited compared to the upper deck. The admission price for the lower deck is a little less ($115 vs. $132 at the time of our visit). The restrooms are aft on the lower deck. Again pretty basic. Boarding and seating 3: We got there plenty of time ahead of the scheduled boarding but there was already a long line outside. There was very little supervision. The line was disorganized and people were cutting in and jumping the line. We were greeted cheerfully at the entrance, checked in, and photographed for a separately-sold souvenir photo. Although we had paid for upper deck seating as a family of four, by the time we got there all tables were taken. Again there was no supervision by the staff and it was kind of a "free for all". We had to personally negotiate with the other guests (who had spread out over multiple tables) to secure a 4-seat table. This was a little chaotic and unexpected. Food 4: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner have different menus. We had taken the Sunset Dinner Cruise. Dinner included a garden salad, an entrée and a dessert (cheesecake). For the entrée, you are limited to Fish (Catch of the Day) or Beef Short Ribs. We all had the fish and it was delicious and nicely plated. Given the amount of people that they feed in as short as a time, I do not know how they do it but it came out really well. We met the chef who was going around and meeting the guests after the dinner was served, and he told us that everything is done fresh and on premises in real time. Hats off to the chef and the staff! Drinks 3: As mentioned earlier, they only served soft drinks and mixers at the time of our visit in August 2025. No alcohol was sold on board but patrons were encouraged to bring their own. Suggest you check ahead of time with Prince Kuhio Tours whether this is still the situation. The Last Word 4: The breathtaking views, the friendly crew and the delicious (albeit limited in options) food offerings elevate this experience to a solid 4. I wish they could do better with the boarding process and the seating arrangements. Overall a great experience!
