The sea caves of Kauai were unlike any other! This was the reason we wanted to visit, and it was all so unreal. Dolphins said hello as well!

The staff was very friendly. As soon as we got on the boat, we were able to see what looked like a whale's tail and back. There was music playing on the boat, and the breeze felt nice.
スタッフはとても親切でした。
ボートに乗ると直ぐにクジラのしっぽと背中らしきものをみることができました。ボートの中では音楽が流れていて風が気持ちよかったです。
It finished around 10:30, so I can make good use of the afternoon.

I had a wonderful experience.
There were about 30 people on the tour, and none of them were Japanese.
The ride there was a bit rocky, but the return trip was comfortable.
The crew was also wonderful.
The captain's service was excellent.
I was able to see whales and dolphins.
The nature of Kauai is amazing.

We recently hired Aloha Blue Charters for a private charter in Maui for our family. This was a special trip to honor and carry out the final wishes of my parents. Captain Larry and First Mate Freddy brought us near their favorite area in Kihei and were very helpful and caring during our ceremony. It was a wonderful and memorable time for our family. Thank you Captain Larry and Freddy!
Booking was a smooth and efficient process, with excellent response time.

The water was rough, lots of big swells, people were throwing up over the side or in the bathroom, some laid on the benches in the cabin area. Food was not anything fancy but the crew members were very nice, we have been on some very high end dinner cruises and felt disappointed in this one. Shame that so many people didn't eat at all or very little and trying to drink anything was a mission due to the swells. I did take some breathtaking pictures of the sunset, thankfully I took motion sickness medicine.
If the water is that rough offer a refund or reschedule.

Our family (my wife, myself, our 3 sons and 2 daughters in law) had a great cruise on this private yacht. The crew was outstanding and looked after our every need. We cruised and then stopped for an hour long swim. We enjoyed a few Mai Tai's and really loved the hot tub. Overall a great experience which we would highly recommend.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We’re thrilled you and your family enjoyed the cruise, the crew's service, and the hot tub. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back soon!

The boat ride was great- seeing the Na Pali coast from the Pacific was incredible. The tour guide was a fantastic guide, sharing stories about the history of Kaua’i , including her connections through her great grandparents. Learning about the land and history over time made a lasting impression. Hearing about the connections to movie settings was also cool. We encountered spinner dolphin pod and it was exciting to see so many surfacing and putting on a show. The snorkeling was Awesome, it was great how the boat had a specific location to secure to that was near the reef. Snorkeling was very organized and I felt safe. We saw many colored fish and even a sea turtle.
I appreciated the introduction before we started the tour and the guidance if we felt seasick. I was unfortunately one who experienced sea sickness about halfway through the trip, where we encountered the roughest water. The crew was compassionate and offered comforts. I felt better as we headed toward calmer waters and snorkeling location and was able to enjoy the snorkeling.
We had 5 in our traveling party and all were very impressed with the sights-totally worth it!
The morning tour was great! Heed the recommendation for motion sickness precautions.

We really enjoyed this cruise! We went in Nov so the beginning of winter there. Waters were just starting to get a little rougher. No one in our group gets seasick so we had no issues but some others on the cruise that were prone to seasickness were struggling a little. The staff were all super friendly and shared a lot about the history along the coast, films that were shot there, and other recommendations in the area. Highly recommend!

We had a very special sunset cruise on the evening of November 3rd onboard the Makani Catamaran! I think we ended up with 22 in our Navy reunion group and it was the last of four events we had this weekend. Our crew was very professional and friendly. It was a smooth cruise from start to finish. The guys are great bartenders and my Mai Tai was outstanding! The views of Honolulu, Diamond Head and the sunset were amazing! I would strongly recommend this private cruise to any group of 20 to 49 people. Thanks Captain C for an amazing experience!

We had the BEST time on our Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Dolphin & Snorkel Private Charter on October 10th!! We did the 3-hour private charter. We had a group of 25, all family, visiting Oahu for our wedding celebration and had booked this cruise for a little pre-wedding fun. Well, the cruise was beyond our expectations. We had the best time cruising around and snorkeling. We snorkeled and saw dolphins, sea turtles, and got to feed the fish. We had several kids under age 5 and they were able to accommodate us all. The crew was absolutely amazing. They took care of everyone’s needs, made us feel special, and created a super fun environment, all the while making sure we were safe. The food and drinks were also amazing!! Mine and my husband’s families cannot stop raving about the cruise and how amazing it was. It was also suitable for all ages, which was great, as we had six kids under 5. Also, booking this cruise through VELTRA was a breeze. They were so helpful and answered all my questions. Stop your searching and book this cruise, you will not regret it. I could not recommend this enough!! Thank you to the team for making this day so special for us and our family!!

The Na Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Cruise was an amazing experience, overwhelmed by the beauty of nature along the Na Pali Coast. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding, I was able to enjoy it comfortably, and the food was very delicious. The crew was very kind, answering questions politely and providing excellent service, even taking photos at scenic points. The sunset was particularly magnificent, with the beautiful sun coloring the sea and sky, creating a memorable moment. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales, but it was still a very satisfying cruise. I was able to enjoy the scenery known as the filming locations for Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean, creating unforgettable memories.
ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズは、ナパリコーストの大自然に圧倒される素晴らしい体験でした。乗船の30分前に酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、快適に楽しむことができ、ご飯もとても美味しかったです。クルーはとても親切で、質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ、絶景ポイントでは写真を撮ってくれるなど、サービスも行き届いていました。特にサンセットは壮大で、美しい夕日が海と空を彩り、心に残る最高の瞬間でした。残念ながらイルカや鯨を見ることはできませんでしたが、それでも大満足のクルーズでした。ジュラシックパークやパイレーツ・オブ・カリビアンのロケ地としても知られる景色を堪能でき、忘れられない思い出ができました。

When looking at activities for our honeymoon, we were definitely looking for an on the water experience. There are lots of options in regards to sunset or fireworks(every friday) but most of them seemed to include having to be on a boat with many other families. While we are not opposed to spending time with strangers and getting to meet people, we really wanted to have a "next level" experience where we had pictures to share and memories to make.
Pau Hana sailing delivered on every single level. Captain Austin made sure our experience was one to remember. He helped us take pictures and was an absolute gem to spend two hours with.
Considering the pricing to be on our own private charter was only slightly more than being on one with tons of other families, there was absolutely no downside. I cannot recommend Pau hana sailing enough.
When we come back for an anniversary we will absolutely be booking again. Mahalo!
Yay, yay, yay! Iʻm so glad to hear you had the best best time and mahalo for such a wonderful review. We are so happy that we can provide this opportunity for people coming to visit Oahu. Congrats newlyweds! We hope we have the opportunity to host you for your 1-yr. A hui hou! Mariah
