Waikiki Sunset Sail BYOB Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
AMAZING!! Just do it!!
Reviewed by: Morgan , 2022/06/28It was so fun, everyone was so nice and the views were amazing. Be prepared to get a little wet- I would advise to wear a swimsuit because you can go swimming at the end. Have no doubts and do it!!

Morning Kealakekua Bay Ocean Rafting Snorkel & Dolphin Watching Adventure
Amazing snorkeling adventure!
Reviewed by: Kevin H, 2022/06/19This trip was a wonderful introduction to the great snorkeling in two of the bays on the west coast of Hawaii. Our guide provided all the gear we needed for the water. Our guide was friendly, patient, and knowledgeable about local sea life and the culture and history of the coast we explored. As a family, we were novices at snorkeling but our guide stepped us through getting into and out of the water and directed us to the best areas of the bays to explore. Right out of dock, a pod of spinner dolphins crossed in front of the boat! Flying fish appeared along our route and there were many species of fish and many black sea urchins in both bays. The snacks hit the spot and the cultural history of the bays and coastline were very interesting. After the excursion, we felt we were ready to set off on our own snorkling adventure!

Kaneohe Bay Sandbar - Deluxe Private Speed Boat Snorkel Charter
Great experience for the whole family
Reviewed by: Stefanie , 2022/06/18We booked the trip for 4 people age 22-67. While the younger ones went on a private guided snorkeling tour and saw a lot of turtles the seniors could wander around the sand bar, take a floatie or hang out on the boat. Small snacks, soft drinks and water were provided. As well as snorkeling gear, floaties and a SUP. We had an amazing time time on the sandbar!

Waikiki Sunset Sail BYOB Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
Beautiful evening on the Mana Kai Catamaran!
Reviewed by: Alyssa , 2022/06/13It was a beautiful evening on Mana Kai Catamaran out of Waikiki beach. We liked that it was BYOB and enjoyed the music played during the sailing. Please just note that this catamaran does leave right from the beach rather than a dock so plan accordingly. We had a great time though!

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran
It is affordable
Reviewed by: OCFD519JH, 2022/06/09Like I said it is affordable. The kids running the boat we’re friendly an did the best they could. 22 people, some of which had not only never snorkeled, but were clearly uncomfortable in the water were too much for the crew to safely manage. I personally had to save a struggling passenger while the guy that was working the lifeguard shift was wrangling other dingdongs! Not the lifeguards fault he was just dealing with too many other folks and couldn’t get to the panicky woman fast enough. I don’t mind, I am a water rescue swimmer with my fire department but still… Her screaming for help couldn’t be heard over the clamoring of the other passengers on deck and the music playing onboard. When folks are in the water 100% attention to the swimmers is the only safe option and if you can’t hear them then the music needs to be off and eyes need to be on the swimmers. The operation was also billed as a sailing and snorkeling adventure with sailing being the key word for me. The wind was fine and other boats were sailing but our sails never went up. If you’re on a budget do it. but for 20-30 more you could do the same thing with a power boat, dolphins and turtles, food and water, and a photographer who would gladly sell you the images from the trip for a few extra dollars. In all honesty a confident swimmer could have reached turtle canyon in a easy half hour of swimming but that’s not for everyone.
For those of you who don’t swim, don’t feel comfortable in the water, or have small children that don’t swim. this is not how you spend your money. Endangering yourself or your family because “anyone can snorkel” in open water, when you’ve never done it before makes the trip that much less enjoyable for everyone including the crew. It is not their job to pay all their attention to you, and it becomes unsafe for everyone else.
Any chance to get in the water will always be awesome for me so like I said it is affordable. If it’s your best option yay!
Go for it!

Waikiki Budget-Friendly Scenic Day Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
Mana Kai Catamaran Day Cruise/1 pm
Reviewed by: Alex Ramirez , 2022/06/07Jenna & The Cruise Driver we’re extremely friendly, and made the experience for our family and the rest of the riders very fun and safe. They explained to us always what to expect. They let us experience the waters of the ocean by putting our feet in as we cruised in the sailboat and listened to music. The ambiance felt great and soothing. They also took us turtle watching and got to see some beautiful huge sea turtles. We also enjoyed the splash of the waves while we sat on the net of the sailboat, my boys enjoyed that so much and it kept them refreshed! And the best part is the dip in the water, so refreshing and wonderful experience for those who wanted to take a a quick dip. I’m so thankful to Jenna as she took good care of the group, while The cruise driver was always so detailed in explaining everything we would see and do. They both went above & beyond. Best experience ever!!! Mahalo!!!!!

Waikiki Sunset Sail Cruise with Dinner Option - Moana Sailing Catamaran
A relaxed dinner and sunset cruise in Waikiki
Reviewed by: Jason V., 2022/06/05This catamaran is a bit larger than other boats I've been on, making it much more comfortable both in terms of seating and sailing. We passed some other catamarans, and it looked like the passengers didn't have a lot of room to move around, they were so packed.
It was a pretty hot day when we got there, but once we set sail, there was a steady ocean breeze, becoming almost chilly once the sun sank lower. Bring an outer layer!
Our dinner was given to us in a take-out box, we ordered the crab cakes and ribs, and both were very good! Keep in mind that this is just an entree, so it doesn't come with any sides. In hindsight, bringing food/drinks would have been a great idea since the sail is BYOB. The crew was very friendly and helpful, coming around to check on us every once in a while and staying to chat for a bit.
Overall it was a perfect sunset experience. If you haven't been on a sunset cruise in Waikiki, the Moana is a fantastic option for a relaxed cruise with dinner.
Tip: sail on Friday and you'll be back at the docks with enough time to go catch the Hilton fireworks show!

Waikiki Sunset Sail BYOB Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
Great views!
Reviewed by: Angie, 2022/06/01The catamaran was a great way to see Honolulu and you can’t beat BYOB! You do have to go into the ocean (ankle to knee height water avoiding waves) so be sure to wear shorts or quick drying clothes.

いざ乗るときにはサンダルを脱いで乗ります。膝くらいまでは濡れますので、濡れても良い格好で参加してください。船内は裸足です。途中しぶきで濡れるので、水着の方が多かったです。足を拭くタオルを私は持っていきました。船内に荷物を入れる場所はありました。船内では、マイタイやジュースを買うことができますし、トイレがありました。私は飲み物は持参しましたが、、。スタッフさんが写真を撮ってくれたり、気さくでとても楽しかったです！

Waikiki Sunset Sail Cruise with Dinner Option - Moana Sailing Catamaran
Sunset? Mostly. Dinner? .... Yes, technically. Cruise? Yes. The romantic sunset dinner cruise we were expecting? Not really.
Reviewed by: Allen, 2022/05/17Disappointing! This excursion was marketed as a sunset dinner cruise. There was a boat - and a takeout bag of overpriced food, but no tables. The information provided did not include the type of attire that was appropriate for the boat or even how long the trip was. For the price of the trip and meal, I expected to at least not to have to juggle my food on my lap. The crew was nice, but they also made sure we were positioned to be back dockside as soon as the sun broke the horizon. If you are looking for a quick, casual romp, this might work for you - but if you are looking for a romantic dinner cruise - this may not be it.

Spirit of Aloha Waikoloa Marine Life Snorkel Cruise with Picnic Lunch & 2 Drinks
Incredible crew!
Reviewed by: Caitlin, 2022/05/16This was by far the best excursion we did on our trip. The crew was so accommodating and put this adventure over the top. This was my first time snorkeling and they were able to provide excellent training as well as guidance throughout the swim. They dove down to bring up starfish, sea cucumbers, & other creatures for us to check out. We were served lunch and delicious drinks after spending time in the water. The boat was clean, & we had a comfortable ride to and from the snorkeling location. This is a trip you can’t miss!

Waikiki Sunset Sail BYOB Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
Second time and definitely coming back!
Reviewed by: CMGomez, 2022/05/02This is the second time I have been on the Mana Kai Catamaran. The first time was with family and the second time was a boys reunion trip. This low-key, good vibes sail will give you all the island spirit you need as you enjoy great times, amazing views and an awesome sailing team. Captain Kaeo and his sail mate, Andreas, made us feel relaxed and at home quickly. I highly recommend this for couples, families with older children and friends. Mahalo, Captain Kaeo and Andreas! See you and the Mana Kai soon!
