"Each charter is something special. Forrest’s comprehensive knowledge of the ocean afforded us a unique experience each time we casted off. The flexibility offered is unmatched elsewhere Oahu. Whether we wanted to watch the whale migration, search for a specific piece of wildlife, increase our freediving abilities, or just relax on the ocean they were eager to accommodate us. Forrest and his family were never afraid to go outside of the “normal” tour company locations. Easily my favorite ocean company on the island!"
