AWESOME TOUR

Reviewed by: Kim, 2014/10/03

Nessa arrived to pick us up at hotel early. We were the only people on the shuttle. When we arrived at the boat we found out we were the only people on the tour!!! We were shocked they didn't cancel the tour. We had an AMAZING time. The crew was awesome!!! They were very attentive and helpful. We saw tons of turtles and got a ton of great pictures. We cannot say enough good things about this tour! It was a highlight of our trip to Oahu.

Waikiki Catamaran Snorkel Sail (from Kewalo Basin) / 2-for-1 Morning Snorkel

Reviewed by: Isaac Chechter, 2014/09/16

O passeio começou no horário previsto, a tripulação muito atenciosa passou muitas explicações e cuidados a serem tomados. O material fornecido para Snorkel de boa qualidade somado ao nosso guia no mergulho proporcionou momentos inesquecíveis em que vimos muitas tartarugas, peixes e golfinhos. Nossa filha de 2 anos e 6 meses adorou o passeio e continuou falando do que viu.Com certeza repetiriamos.

TRANSLATION: The tour started on the scheduled time, the crew gave us the safety briefing and they were very helpful the whole time. They have a nice snorkel equipment and our snorkel guide was really great. We spotted a lot of turtles, fishes and dolphins, and it was incredible! Our 2 year old daughter loved the tour, and she keeps talking about everything that she experienced. We would definitely come back!

Amazing Adventure!!

Reviewed by: Kellie, 2014/09/05

Jake, Josh, and Barry took us on a fabulous voyage! They explained what the activity would entail and gave some safety rules.

They they took us put to turtle Bay and as we were making our way to where we were going to anchor the boat, we saw our first Turtle.

We got all geared up and went into the water. Someone on the trip wasn't a sting swimmer and jake provided adsistance so he wouldn't miss out on anything.

We saw several turtles and lots of beautiful fish!

We had a great lunch and a few great cocktails.

It was one of my best experiences while in Hawaii!

Unforgettable Experience Not to be Missed!

Reviewed by: E & J from San Diego, 2014/09/02

After visiting Honolulu many times before, my husband and I wanted to do something fun and unique to celebrate the beauty of Honolulu...beyond the glitzy stores and swanky restaurants. Well, we couldn't be happier with our choice to book a sun-filled excursion on the Honi Olani. The catamaran sail turned out to be fantastic, thanks to the experienced, well-trained Captain and crew. From the confirmation email, hotel pickup and transport to the marina, all of the details worked out as promised. As promised, we swam right next to sea turtles and other fish and truly enjoyed the personal attention and guidance while snorkeling in the water. We swam for over an hour, then sailed along the gorgeous shores of the island. The lunch provided was tasty, as were the cocktails and drinks included in the tour. The friendly crew made the entire tour seem effortless, although we know they were all hard at work serving us every step of the way. Honestly, we felt pampered. This trip definitely is recommended for everyone, including those families with young children who are confident with swimming in the ocean. Flotation vests, high-quality fins and snorkels are provided, and the kids who were on our tour were watched over very carefully and taught the basics of snorkeling. There is something so peaceful about the turtles who live so close to the hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Great trip? Awesome crew!

Reviewed by: Marilyn DiSalvo, 2014/08/26

From the moment we got on the boat we knew this would be a great trip. We only had 9 people on a boat that holds 50!!!I have been on many Snorkeling excursions that are over crowded so this was quite the treat to have so much room. We had a wonderful time on the trip ! The staff was very attentive and helpful and made you feel very comfortable the whole day. We got to see lots of turtles! The food was great and there was plenty of it to go around. The guys were constantly asking if they could get you anything or do anything to make the trip more comfortable for you. Weather was perfect and the water was nice and warm. It does not get much better than this. I would highly recommend this excursion!

Book now!

Reviewed by: Kristen10220, 2014/08/23

First let me say that this cruise, the crew, and the food and drinks are all amazing, and that you should not hesitate in booking! I was looking for something fun for my husband and I to do for our 3 year anniversary, and I'm glad we picked this. Going through the process of actually ordering the tickets was a bit of a pain. We live here, but the website kept asking about our flights and hotel, so that was a bit annoying. But, we finally got our voucher for the sail and it was confirmed very quickly. The company even called a few times to make sure we were all set. When we got onboard the crew was fantastic and started serving up the drinks and food immediately. Woohoo! The water was absolutely beautiful, and I got to see some marine life that I haven't seen before in my 4 years as a Hawai'i resident. The crew was also very good about making sure we were safe at all times, which made us feel like we were in good hands. All in all, it was a great experience and we would happily pay to go again.

Awesome Day Snorkeling in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Chrissy, 2014/08/21

My boyfriend and I came across this website while vacationing in Oahu. We were looking online for snorkeling tours, but most were out of our budget. When we came across this website we were excited that we had found a good deal. The process was super easy! All we did was input the date we wanted to go and purchased our tickets. When we arrived at the boat harbor we had no problem presenting our online confirmation and getting right on the boat. The crew on the boat were very hospitable and made sure we had a memorable experience. The snorkel spot was breathtaking! Especially vein so close to the endangered green sea turtles. We saw well over a dozen of them and sometimes they came rather close to us. After snorkeling for a little over an hour we hopped back on the boat and the crew served us lunch and drinks (including alcohol). There was no charge for anything on the boat, including the alcohol. We then went for a scenic sail around Diamond Head and relaxed out on the front of the catamaran. This was one of the best days of our vacation! We would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Oahu and looking for some great snorkeling!

AWESOME

Reviewed by: Nicolle, 2014/08/18

We had so much fun on this snorkel sail. Actually the day before the sail was supposed to happen the company called and said there was an issue with the boat and that that particular cruise was not going to be running that day. I had no other day that we could do it as it was a birthday surprise for my friend and our schedules were way too busy after that day to fit it in. They quickly offered to change our reservation for the dolphin snorkel sail that same day with no charge to us. It worked out perfect! The crew was totally awesome and we got to snorkel so close to dolphins. THe entire vibe on the boat was so much fun with jokes from the crew and their service was great. AMazing lunch and breakfast. I would definitely go again!

Bravo Hawaii Nautical!

Reviewed by: Eric, 2014/08/15

We had a GREAT day on the water with Hawaii Nautical -- Josh, Barry and Nick. We felt like family -- it was like we'd known the crew for years. Especially great was getting 1-on-1 attention for 7-year old Jack during the snorkeling session -- made Jack feel very comfortable and confident in the big water despite the waves and the massive sea life below!

  • Just before Turtle Canyon.

Snorkel Tour Review

Reviewed by: Judy & Tyler, 2014/07/30

This was a great experience! This was the best part of our vacation, the most fun the both of us had. The crew members really helped to make the trip memorable and so much fun. The crew had much knowledge and was able to answer so many questions. The best part by far was them helping me out. I was very afraid of getting in and snorkeling, I began freaking out and going back to the boat, before getting out the captain asked if I would be more comfortable using a floatation devise to help me out. And man that made a huge difference. Not only did they give me that device they then help me swim out to the spot and help me keep calm. This was the best thing for me, I was very frightened at first but got over it thanks to the crew thank you (:
