Sunset sail

Reviewed by: CM, 2023/10/25

Cute small sailboat! Not too windy the day we went but still good ride! They had friends on board so they stopped and let anyone swim! I was bummed I wasn’t prepared for that cause I love the water! People in charger were nice and friendly! Thank you!

Nice Sailing Sunset Trip

Reviewed by: HFI, 2023/09/08

Nothing negative to say. Small sailing boat with less people. That was good because it was not crowded. Crew was funny & helpful. You can bring your own drinks and snacks.
It was a nice and relaxing trip.

Amazing views

Scenic setting to see Waikiki in the sea! Perfect scenery for sunset on warm waters. Great staff who are friendly and accommodating :) I would recommend for a great time with others out on the sea.

Beautiful evening on the Mana Kai Catamaran!

Reviewed by: Alyssa , 2022/06/13

It 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!

Great views!

Reviewed by: Angie, 2022/06/01

The 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.

Great for price

Reviewed by: Lisa, 2022/04/19

It was a little crowded for our liking. Couldn't move freely without bumping into others or having to ask them to get up. The staffs were great. Very friendly and helpful. Best part was byob and food!

Best activity to do in Waikiki

Reviewed by: person1234, 2022/04/09

You get a great view of the island and a break from the bustling city feel of Waikiki. It's very peaceful, there's music playing and you have a chance to meet some other tourists. We even saw some whales. You won't be disappointed.

Really wonderful views of the Island. The sunset was beautiful. Wonderful time out on the water overall. Nice ride for all ages(that can walk). Be prepared to get wet.

We had a great time

Reviewed by: Meme, 2021/01/30

We had a great time. The crew was great.. the only reason I gave Good instead of outstanding is because I wish the music speaker was louder and a bathroom would’ve been great as it’s BYOB and I’m a drinker.. but I’ve booked 4 times. Take all my guests on this

Nice budget friendly trip. Great to enjoy the skyline. Getting in and out of boat was in the water.

Great time!

Reviewed by: George A., 2020/02/17

Great time. No bathroom was a plus, never peed off a boat like that before, it was an experience. Would definitely go again, the captain and first mate we’re very cool. It’s a smaller boat but don’t let that steer you away.

Amusing sailing experience

Reviewed by: Wander Woman, 2019/01/07

The captain and his crewmate were perfectly pleasant (and very attractive), but did very little to connect with the group. They did, however, seem very competent in their sailing abilities, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the trip.

We happened to have three "Instagram girlfriends" who made the trip pretty amusing with their selfie/photoshoot antics. They seemed to be having a blast, and it was easy to let them have their fun, while we laughed with them.

Additionally, we did the sunset sail, and passed a bunch of monohull sailboats, loaded with passengers counterweighting their boats and waving to us during the trip. Such beautiful sights (sunset on the water, gorgeous Waikiki/Honolulu area, beautiful water, and getting to see the monohulls slicing through the water)!

I was overall very pleased with the experience for such an affordable price. I'd definitely recommend it to friends.

日本人のいない、サンセットクルーズ

Reviewed by: GA9, 2018/09/21

当日は天気は良かったものの、
肝心のサンセットに雲がかかってしまい、、、
残念な結果に終わりました。

しかしながら、小さな船でのアクティビティのため、
船長が気軽に写真を撮ってくれるなど、
対応自体はとても良かったです!
日本人は僕らの他におらず、
終始 外国の気分を味わえたのは、
ハワイに 1週間いてこの船上だけでした。

他のツアーと比較した上で、
コチラに申し込むことに決めたのですが、
運次第ということを考えると、
お手軽に参加できるため、
このアクティビティがちょうどいいなと思いました。
