Could have better customer professionalism

Reviewed by: Sandie, 2022/11/17

For the price, and the drinks it was a good experience. However for the customer service could be a little more professional. Jokes are all great but crew members shouldn't be drinking and suggesting that I dance on a pole. Especially if I say no, it should be dropped and I shouldn't be told "i guess you don't like to have fun". Borderline sexual harassment.

Average booze cruise

Reviewed by: Nic, 2022/06/01

This booze cruise was mediocre. We watched them struggle on several trips to get the catamaran out on the ocean, not at the fault of the staff, but seemingly due to the tropical weather. Other cruises didn’t seem to have this issue so we always wondered why this catamaran did. The crew serving drinks worked hard to make sure everyone always had a drink in their hand. They serve “Mai Tais” that looked and tasted more like a cheap margarita or Corona Extras. The sunset was beautiful and in the end, we felt we got what we paid for. Would not recommend this cruise for children.

Mai Tai Sunset Cruise

Reviewed by: Kim, 2022/05/16

Mai Tais were pretty bad, for a “Mai Tai cruise.” I could drink one, but not worth the second. Many switched to beer after their first drink. We cruised out further than most other boats, but a lot of us got very wet due to high waves. It probably would’ve been nicer to stay in calmer waters and closer to the shore, like most of the other boats did. Still a nice sunset cruise. The deck hands and captain were great!

We were so excited!

Reviewed by: Alex, 2022/03/13

My friend and I booked the booze cruise to get a sunset vibe on the water. The vessel was as expected and the crew was good. Unfortunately, there was a huge party on board that took up all occupancy, with the exception of my friend and I. With everyone knowing one another, there was constant conversation over us and people crossing/crowding our space to get to others in their party. It would probably make best sense for large parties like that to have to reserve the entire vessel occupancy. This wouldn’t deter us from booking again, but it might be helpful in putting smaller parties at ease.

It's ok I guess.

Reviewed by: Vince, 2021/08/29

The guys were pretty fun in orchestrating the ride. But they have overpacked the boat considering it's pandemic and there are no mask mandates. I wish they had consider to limit the crowd size to keep spaces within groups. But they didn't It was overpacked with mostly adult tees on the group. Not a classy type of boat cruise tour.

Don’t waste your time!

Reviewed by: RAP, 2021/07/14

Overall disappointing. When I think “sunset cruise”, I was thinking something dressier, as were most of the passengers. Instead, we had to run through the surf to get onto the catamaran (no dock), getting wet and dirty in the process. The boat is leaky in the sense the water splashes through holes on the main deck, making you wet even if you’re not sitting on the edge of the boat. The “cocktails” consist of only two options: Mai Tais or beer, that’s it. The crew was pleasant, but over all, it was nothing like I expected.

Good fun. But not as described.

Reviewed by: Brinkley, 2021/05/23

The description was inaccurate. They claim to give unlimited sodas, juices and water yet there were none on the boat. There were only 2 choices of drinks a Mai Tai and Corona. Overall it was still a fun trip and I would do it again. I just wish they provide what they say they will..

Our first time going on a sunset cruise since the pandemic started

Reviewed by: JackyDaniels, 2020/10/06

This was the first activity/cruise my boyfriend and I went on since the pandemic started in March. Now that things on Oahu are opening up again we wanted to get out and have a nice evening. When we checked in on the beach, one of the crew members (wearing a mask) provided hand sanitizer and had us both sign in. Then we boarded and were served drinks right away (corona beer or maitais). Oahu's current regulations allow boats to carry 25% capacity on tours, so manu kai is allowed to have 12 passengers on board now. This actually made it really enjoyable because there was so much room to spread out across the catamaran. As for masks, the crew didn't enforce face masks or social distancing to any extent. The only time you were told to put on a mask was at check-in, boarding, and de-boarding. Once you're on the boat, you were told you didn't have to wear it and none of the crew members were wearing masks during the cruise. Overall I'd say they did the bare minimum, if that, for preventing the spread of coronavirus so I'd recommend going for a sunset cruise that is really putting in more effort to keep their guests and community safe.

Sea sick

Reviewed by: MS35, 2019/08/16

Crew was great and the boat itself was really cool but it was so choppy when you got on the water it was hard to enjoy the trip. You couldn’t stand up without falling over and if your prone to any type of motion sickness, it’s game over. The crew was so helpful though! JJ helped me to the back of the boat, got me and my party ice chips, and continued to check on us through the whole trip. Super nice but not the right weather sadly.
