Had a great time!

Reviewed by: Fsdj1428, 2024/06/15

The boat was a great experience! They were very experienced made sure we knew how to use the equipment. One of the guides was in the water pointing out the turtles and all the fish. It was easy to float and snorkel. The boat was easy to find and the drinks were great! My daughter realty enjoyed the experience!

It's was fun

Reviewed by: TK, 2024/06/08

Very cool experience. Saw lots of fish and turtles. The view at the island was nice as well. Only thing I was not happy about was the life guard told us to remove the flippers while the tide pulling us away. Mad it pretty hard to swim to the boat. I'm a decently strong swimmer and I barely made it. Besides that great experience

Not worth it

Reviewed by: Neil, 2024/05/07

Very limited instruction was given into how to use the mask and snorkel. Mine was all twisted up and none of the staff provided any assistance.

The reef area is choppy and murky making it very difficult to see. There were 4 other boats there so the area was quite crowded. We saw 1 turtle and a few fish. Pretty disappointing.

If you are looking for a magical reef experience then I suggest go somewhere else like the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

Back on the boat we were offered 1 drink only even though the tour says 3 alcoholic drinks are provided.

Wouldn't recommend.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Family Fun, 2024/03/25

Overall the experience was amazing! It was a first for both my husband and I and the kids. The crew did a fantastic job. They provided clear instructions, ensuring we were all safe and had many opportunities to see the sea turtles among a plethora of wildlife along the reef. I would not hesitate to book this again.

I do think it was a bit disorganized with adults and children going down the ladders and then needing to come right back up, leaving patrons that had not had a chance to get in the water a 10 min leg time.

Also, a female crew member was wearing a thong bikini bottom which I have no problem with - wear one!! However, the male crew members continued to smack her bottom or spray it with the defogger. I’m not sure that the female crew member cared but definitely not acceptable now a days!

So cool!!

Reviewed by: Hanna, 2024/03/19

We were worried about the distance to Turtle Island, but it was close enough that there were no problems. The ship's departure point was Waikiki Beach, making it very easy to find. We enjoyed ourselves without realizing the passage of time, watching many fish and turtles. The friendly staff guided us safely and helped us see the turtles better. It was fantastic! Refreshing drinks and great music added to the atmosphere.

Fantastic Crew

Reviewed by: MAV, 2024/03/16

The crew was super friendly, accommodating, efficient and fun to be around.
The snorkelling was as expected - lots of people, and commercial but we got to check off swimming with sea turtles off our bucket list on our final day on the island
Gear was clean and in great condition. The boat was immaculate and the drinks were flowing and the adult ones were strong!!

Fun and definitely worth ot

Reviewed by: Anamari, 2024/03/08

The water was a little cold so we got out of the water sooner than we would have wanted, and so we didn’t see as much as we had hoped to. But we had fun and would do it again. Hopefully next time we will see more.

Must do experience!

Reviewed by: Nicole , 2024/02/17

We were a group of 11, and everyone voted this the best activity of our time in Waikiki.
Book early in your trip, as we were rescheduled due to the weather, to ensure that we had the best experience and visibility.
Boarding from Waikiki Beach is so convenient and meant we didn't have to spend time and money getting to the harbour.
Crew were great fun and helped to guide the group to turtle sightings.
Drinks are included!

Fun trip on Ke Kai Catamaran

Reviewed by: Shital Lakhani, 2023/12/28

Loved this funky yellow catamaran. The people were very helpful. It was my 2 nd time snorkeling and was really nervous about swimming in the ocean. Dillan was great life guard also gave me an extra float so that I feel more secure.
The views the music the drinks and the people were fantastic on this catamaran.
I would highly recommend this tour.
Only recommendation is to probably do the morning cruise as we spotted only 1 sea turtle which was very still. At the very bottom of the ocean floor and extremely few fishes.
Infact we saw more fishes at the sand box.
I would highly recommend it because we had a blast in this trip. It was my husbands 50th birthday and he loved it.

Best tour on the island!

Reviewed by: Heather, 2023/11/10

The whole crew were so kind and took care of everyone immediately. They checked in on everyone when we were all in the ocean. I went during a solo trip and it was definitely a highlight! Also drank 2 delicious mai tais on the way back. Saw two big turtles and the most beautiful fish all around! Defs book this whether solo or with your own crew!

Nothing bad about it

Reviewed by: Dee, 2023/10/16

I was able to see about 3 turtles and an octopus. They don’t go too far out and it’s a pretty quick trip if you want to see some sea life and also do other things with your day. The catamaran ride was smooth and I enjoyed the short ride. Had a cocktail on our way back. Crew was friendly and couldn’t ask for a better time. Oh the music was great too!!
