Awesome snorkeling adventure.
Reviewed by: Bheywow, 2022/04/17Super fun quick snorkel. The crew and captain were awesome and funny. My kids loved as did I. Met a few “regulars” which I have never encountered on a snorkeling adventure in the past, which says a lot. I’ll make sure to leverage this on trips in the future. Namaste.

Excellent service and Breath-taking views
Reviewed by: Shawn, 2022/04/12The Manu Kai Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise was all it promised to be. The crew was professional and very helpful. We were treated to a nice boat ride to Turtle Canyon and once in the water we saw several sea turtles calmly swimming along as smaller fish cleaned their shells and fins. There were several species of fish swimming in small schools that we could photograph as well.
The crew was very helpful and taught a basic course in snorkeling that enabled everyone to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
The boat itself is well maintained, clean, and provided a restroom for passengers.
The beverages were served cold (after the snorkel to avoid any intoxication issues while swimming.)
I would recommend this cruise to anyone interested in seeing the majesty of Hawaii's underwater environment and thrill seekers who love ocean adventures. The crew promised turtles and we were treated to a promise fulfilled.

Great Snorkeling Experience!
Reviewed by: John and Judy, 2022/04/11The crew aboard the catamaran was terrific, fun and entertaining! We would recommend experiencing this snorkel excursion in the morning, as the fish and turtles seemed to be more active earlier in the day. We had snorkeled in the same vicinity a couple of days before in the afternoon, and the sea creatures seemed to be less active then.

AMAZING
Reviewed by: Julia G., 2022/02/25I was a little hesitant when I initially booked this, just because of the price. But, WOW I was wrong. Such a great experience, the boys on the boat were great to work with and knowledgeable. Drinks were great and just what you want after swimming in the ocean. Would 100% recommend. Thanks for a great time!

The best bang for your buck snorkel adventure!
Reviewed by: Christopher Keisser, 2022/01/11There are a lot of similar experiences down here, but this crew is tried and true. They have been doing this longer and better than the competition out there, and the experience is truly for those who want a no nonsense visit to turtle canyon. Captain Mina and Jeff truly know their stuff. Good times and good vibes!

Fun excursion!
Reviewed by: Adiba, 2021/12/30The staff was super friendly and accommodating. It was a really fun experience. We got to see turtles and spinner dolphins! It was a great way for us to end our trip in Hawaii. It is recommended though to know swimming well if you want to snorkel as the life jackets are not buoyant enough to keep you afloat.

Snorkeling w/ Sea Turtles
Reviewed by: iLo823, 2021/11/01Super fun experience! Crew was great. Saw 3 sea turtles (or the same one 3 times....who knows). The last one literally swam right up to me, which was awesome. Next time will rent an underwater camera so I can get some photos too.

An amazing afternoon on the Manu Kai catamaran
Reviewed by: Birthday Chris, 2021/09/30The crew were excellent on our trip for my birthday on 28 September 2021. The snorkeling was very well managed by the team. The entertainment was first class. Just wish I had made a note of their names on the 12.30pm trip. Thanks.

Catamaran boat out to snorkel with sea turtles.
Reviewed by: liz, 2021/09/14The crew was friendly and talkative. We had never been snorkeling and they made it easy and comfortable. The area where we went there are multiple boats and people, that is not a poor reflection on this tour, but we didn't realize so many people would be in the same place. We did see turtles!! and fish and the reef. They take little time going back so you can get pictures with the view.

Amazing snorkeling experience!
Reviewed by: Emily , 2021/08/28We saw lots of turtles on this trip. The staff was great and welcoming to our young kiddos (4, 6, and 7yrs old). We enjoyed the drinks after snorkeling and would do it again. We saw tons of turtles ans tropical fish the whole time we were snorkeling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone going to Waikiki.

Great Experience, great crew!
Reviewed by: Jflo01, 2021/08/28We had a great time with the Manu Kai crew! Our snorkeling adventure was fun and exciting, the process was easy and carefree. We got to see about 4-6 turtles at turtle canyon also tons of fish and had plenty of time to snorkel. The crew is very knowledgeable and accommodating, offering drinks and taking pictures, they also are very concerned with safety and we always felt safe aboard the boat. Overall just an awesome experience! Thank you Manu Kai!

Go. See turtles
Reviewed by: K. K, 2021/08/27Picked up right on the beach. We drove in from north shore and parked in the garage across the street. The boat ride was 10ish minutes to the canyon. Had at least a full hour in the water. There were 7 or 8 turtles right there the whole time. Tons of fish. A few minutes after we got there a few other tours showed up and there were a lot more people but still enough space for all tours. The crew was awesome. This was the best tour we booked this week.
