WHY WE’RE DIFFERENT

One boat.
Six guests.

Small by design

Most Waikiki tours run 40-100 passengers. We cap every cruise at six. Uncrowded deck, room to breathe, a captain who knows your name.

Honest about wildlife

We never promise sightings and never chase the animals — we follow federal viewing rules and we're pretty good at being where they want to be.

In the heart of Waikiki

Slip #64 at Ala Wai Boat Harbor — minutes from most Waikiki hotels, $1/hour parking next to the boat, away from the resort crowds.
