Wonderful safe successful trip.

The crew was very helpful and friendly, and the equipment was thoroughly cleaned. The boat clearly displayed all licenses. It was a very enjoyable trip with detailed explanations and a focus on safety. Drinks and a snack were provided. We saw many fish and turtles. I highly recommend the company.

A wonderful turtle tour with Hawaii Nautical

​Five stars for Hawaii Nautical! The entire crew—Captain Christopher, Kelsie, and Cat—were absolutely fantastic, exceptionally friendly, and so helpful throughout the trip. The ride out on their huge catamaran was incredibly smooth and comfortable as we headed out to see the sea turtles. ​The absolute highlight of the day was an unexpected surprise: the crew got word that a super rare whale shark was in the area. They didn't hesitate and quickly got us over there to see it, turning an already great day into an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience. Highly recommend this amazing crew!

Highly recommend!

Excellent experience! Signed up solo and had a great time. Shuttle service was luxurious, boat was big and staff were friendly. Lunch was provided with food allergy accommodation and tasty cocktails at the bar on board. If you’re looking at a catamaran boat tour, this one was top tier.
