All Reviews for Private Boat Charters

Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!!

I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so attentive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end.

My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing.

10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.

Bella esperienza, la barca ha tutto l'essenza Ale ed è comoda per passarci un paio di ore, i due ragazzi che ci hanno portato fuori sono stati molto gentili e professionali, conoscono bene la zona è puoi chiederlo tanti consigli su cosa fare nell'isola.
Purtoppo la giornata che abbiamo scelto non è stata delle migliori.. pioveva a tratti e l'acqua era un po' torbida.. non abbiamo visto le balene.. ma vabbè avevamo già messo in conto che poteva succedere, abbiamo fatto un bagno in mezzo all'oceano e abbiamo nuotato con tanti pesci diversi e tartarughe marine. Nel complesso ne è valsa la pena, anche perché abbiamo avuto la possibilità di vedere la costa sud di Oahu da un altra prospettiva, incantevole.
Esperienza consigliata.

We experienced a sandbar tour with Captain Bruce on a private boat. The weather forecast predicted bad weather, but it only rained a little, and the sea was beautiful!!

The captain was friendly and cool, and we had a great time snorkeling and seeing sea turtles! They provided special gear for our child who can't swim, so the whole family enjoyed it together.

The drinks and spam were delicious! Since we went with three generations, it was great to have a private boat!

I was unsure about participating in the tour, but I'm really glad we did!

キャプテン・ブルースによるサンドバーのツアーを貸切ボートで体験しました。
天気も悪いとの予報でしたが、少し雨が降る程度で海も綺麗でした！！

キャプテンもフレンドリーでカッコよく、シュノーケルもウミガメも見れて凄く楽しかったです！泳げない子供にも専用のを貸して頂き家族みんなで楽しめました★

飲み物や、スパムも美味しかったです！
3世代で行ったので、貸切ボートにして良かったです！

ツアー体験も悩んでましたが、参加して本当に良かったです！

Our group went on a sunset cruise and the boat started on time. Check in was quick and easy and the boat was clean. There were many complimentary snacks and a variety of sodas/juices to choose from. All of the staff were friendly and answered any questions we had.

Best excursion during our week in Maui. The reviews were spot on about Sea Maui. The captain and crew were outstanding. You won’t be disappointed.

The crew was friendly, funny and attentive. Thought we were just getting snacks with our drinks, but also got a teriyaki chicken bowl, which was a pleasant surprise. It was a cloudy day, so no sunset. As such, it would have been nice if they had tried to get us closer to the whales we saw in the distance, to make up for the impending lack of a sunset.

We saw a number of sharks and even a hammerhead shark on the hunt for mackerel! Very cool!

We had a great time on this cruise. Sipping cocktails, watching the sun slip beneath the ocean, looking for the legendary green flash. A perfect evening.

The crew were amazing and the sunset was beautiful. My friends and I loved the whole experience and we even got to see dolphins and turtles.

The cruise was great overall. Love that we could bring our own drinks so we can make whatever we want. Views were amazing when the sunset. Cotton candy skies with views of the city of Honolulu and diamond head. Also saw tons of dolphins so the captain got our boat right in the middle of all of them so we could watch them swim right next to the boat. The crew was very friendly and helped with any questions needed as well as offering to take photos for me and my friends and everyone else who wanted pics on the boat. So fun overall

We had a great afternoon on the boat. Took a seven and two year old out with us to see the whales and the captain was very accommodating to both of them. Once we got the area where the whales were we saw a couple different pairs breach multiple times and certainly didn't need binoculars to see them. On our way back to the harbor a few bottle nosed dolphins decided to swim out front of the boat and in the wake for about 10 minutes which was every bit as cool as seeing the whales.

I'd highly recommend Aloha Kona Tours.

The captain and crew are so nice
The boat is very clean and comfy!

the experience was really good.
We got to see bunch of dolphins and whales breaching really close to.

Thank you so much!

We had an excellent time.. We were looking for a casual fun experience for Christmas evening and this trip delivered. This is my 6th time in Maui and have participated on many excursions and this is on the top of my list. Crew was fabulous and attentive. Captain was experienced and knowledgeable. Felt safe the entire time. The cost was appropriate for what we received...and as a reminder, always tip the crew

It's December, so it can't be helped. There are no Japanese staff, but it’s not a problem. It's a permanent two-tap setup, and it's an activity that beer lovers will be satisfied with.

12月ですし、仕方ありません。
日本語スタッフは居ませんが、困ることはなし。
2タップ常設の、ビール好きにも、満足のいく
アクティビティです。

I couldn't see it, but I felt the beautiful sea and the pleasant sea breeze, so I guess it was good!

見ることはできなかったけど、綺麗な海と潮風を気持ち良く感じることはできたので良かったかなと言う感じ！

Such an amazing experience experienced with my Fiancé !

All crew members were great hosts and courteous. The music was on point, the drinks were flowing and the shrimp were ate!

I will do this cruise again 10 out of 10 times!

This was the best night of our trip, such a relaxing evening.

Nothing as beautiful as the Na Pali Coast, a must do every time we visit

What a great way to spend our last night in Maui! The crew on this fantastic catamaran made sure our drinks were full and we were happy. Dinner was awesome considering we were cruising the waters between Maui and Molokai. Would recommend this experience to everyone!

This was a perfect day! From the clean and organized vessel to the safe, fun, and knowledgeable crew…nothing could be improved. I highly recommend!

Boat was great and comfortable, Crew was fun and helpful, and the Captain was Great. My wife and friends loved the time sailing and cool music.

The shuttle driver was very cheerful and kind. This time, we had a private boat with a captain and an assistant who was a Japanese-speaking woman, so I was able to relax and enjoy myself.

送迎のドライバーさんがとても明るく、親切でした。
今回はプライベートボートでキャプテン、アシスタントさんも日本語の話せる女性だったのて安心して楽しく過ごす事が出来ました。

Very pleasant evening cruise on the river and bay. Swells were too big to get out on the ocean.
Captain and 1st mate very friendly and the boat is very nice.

In August 2022, when travel was still strict due to COVID-19, I went to the Big Island and enjoyed a private charter. Since it was my first time in Hawaii, I don't have anything to compare it to, but I felt very safe and secure because it was private.

By the way, according to our guide, Mr. Nawata, we were the first Japanese guests after COVID.

The positives were:
- Since it was private,
1. The schedule was flexible.
2. I could keep a close eye on the children who are not strong swimmers, ensuring their safety.
3. Although they had solid COVID-19 measures in place, it felt even safer since there were no other families around.
- We saw dolphins jumping when we arrived at the bay.
- The children were satisfied seeing beautiful fish.

The trip from Honokohau Harbor to Kealakekua Bay took about an hour one way, and we spent about an hour in the water, but the kids seemed to enjoy it enough, and the breeze on the boat was pleasant.

While it is somewhat more expensive compared to shared boats, we were able to do things that wouldn't be possible without the private charter, and I believe it was a great experience for the children. For families or groups of four or more, especially those with relatively small children, I think it's definitely worth it to go for a private charter.

まだコロナで渡航が厳しい2022年8月にハワイ島にいってプライベートチャーターを楽しみました。初めてのハワイだったので比較対象がないのですが、プライベートだったので、安心安全でとてもよかったと思います。
ちなみに、ガイドの縄田さんによると、コロナ後初の日本人だったそうです。

良かった点としては、
・プライベートだったので、
①スケジュールの融通が利く。
②泳ぎが得意でない子供たちにもしっかり目が届いて安心安全。
③コロナ対策もしっかりしていますが、それ以上に他の家族がいないので安心。
・湾に着いた時にイルカがジャンプしているのが見れたこと。
・子どもたちもきれいな魚が見れて満足していたこと。

出発地のホノウコウ・ハーバーからケアラケクア湾までは片道1時間、往復2時間ほどで海に入れたのは1時間ほどでしたが、子どもたちは十分満喫したようでしたし、ボートの風は気持ち良かったです。

乗り合いのボートと比べると多少値段は張りますが、プライベートではないとできないことができ、子どもたちにもとてもいい体験になったと思います。
それなりの4人以上の家族・グループ、特に比較的小さな子供のいる方にとっては、プライベートチャーターにする価値は十分あると思います。

This was a fun cruise for us to take our daughter and grandaughter on. Crew was very knowledgeable and interacted with each guest. Guests seemed to have a great time. Food was okay. Didn't expect it to be great!

Captain Walter and our Japanese guide, Emi, were wonderful!

This tour is highly recommended for families. It was a completely private charter. We rented a boat that can accommodate 38 people, but it was just our family of five. Although it wasn't mentioned in the inclusions, we received a cooler bag from Sea Hawaii filled with lots of snacks.

We encountered a pod of dolphins! At the "Turtle House" they took us to, there were several large sea turtles. Thank you for a fun time! I would like to use Sea Hawaii's wild dolphin snorkeling cruise and private charter again next time.

We had a great time, fun crew! We would do it again. The only thing I would recommend is maybe appetizers, snacks.

What a fun experience! The crew was very attentive and thoughtful from beginning to end. They made sure everyone was well taken of. I was also impressed with how clean and well cared for the catamaran was. You can tell that SeaMaui takes a lot of pride in what they do. I booked the excursion as part of my daughters 30th birthday celebration on Maui. There were 5 of us and we were all able to sit together which was nice. Everyone had a great time and unanimously would recommend it. Mahalo SeaMaui .

Highly recommend this package!
- our boat captain, Cary, shared many interesting facts about all the islands while we were on our way to our snorkeling sites.
- he has great sense of humor and I enjoyed his choice of background music during the trip.
- I was blown away by the number of spinner dolphins and sea turtles we saw!
- Allison, one of the crew, was so friendly and helpful.
- Highly recommend.
Thanks again, Cary!

The crew is extremely friendly and knowledgeable! You also get to see so many beautiful views of the Na Pali during the tour, which is really only accessible when on a boat tour!! However, I wouldn’t recommend if you get easily seasick, as the boat gets quite rocky.
