Beautiful sail
Reviewed by: Janice J, 2017/03/26We arrived early and had a few problems getting on board because I couldn't find my eVoucher.
But, the staff was very friendly and helped me find my information.
While on board everything was very comfortable and there was plenty of room to walk around.
Food was OK but you can't beat the views of the island from the south shore.

Great couple of hours
Reviewed by: Robert Crowe, 2017/01/08Picked up exactly on time with a few stops on the way. Plenty of time to register and then get on the boat.
Good safety instructions by the 1st Mate and the captain with even better instructions from the barman.
Bit cloudy and short burst of rain but very enjoyable couple of hours just about saw a whale calf and lots of dolphins then over to diamond head and back.
Very enjoyable

Wow!
Reviewed by: Joe and Sherstin Law, 2016/12/08My wife, Sherstin, and I immensely enjoyed our sail on the "Makani" and it was one of the high points of our recent time on Oahu.
The day was mostly sunny with a few rain squalls which made for some interesting contrasts.
The catamaran was very stable and the captain was expert at reading the waves and currents which was a great relief to my wife since she is a bit prone to dizziness. But she was able to handle the voyage with no problem.
What a view of Diamond Head and Waikiki! We also got a kick out of seeing a couple of turtles, as well as some surfers and snorkelers.
Hats off to the captain, crew and shore personnel -- we had a great time!

Scenic cruise
Reviewed by: Jessica, 2016/11/18Me and my husband thought about going to hawaii for our first wedding anniversary. I did our itinerary for hawaii and I am so glad that I purchased this! I got seasick cause im not used to cruising but overall it was very worth it purchasing this. My husband and i really had fun. They played music and sells alcoholic or non alcoholic drink which it made more cooler, they'll take you in the middle of the ocean and show you a very nice view of waikiki, you can see the fishes. it was very scenic!!!!! the staffs are really friendly, they'll give you instructions about what to do and what not to do. Make sure you follow 'em. I will surely try this again for our next visit to honolulu!! PS: bring your sunscreen!! :-)

Fun nice boat tour
Reviewed by: Lonna Denny, 2016/09/05I would highly recommend this boat trip. It was fun and the drinks were surprisingly good. Although it rained, we still had a great time. The weather was warm enough to stay outside on the netting and enjoy the full sensation of sailing. The crew were very nice and attentive to everyone. There were no cheesy banter that I have come to associate with Hawaiian tours of any sort. The catamaran was large, so everyone had a lot of room to move around. It was clean and the head (restroom) was well maintained. Even though it stormed that day, the ride was incredibly smooth and no one got sick. The check in booth was at the entry to the harbor and the line went fast and effortlessly. The only caveat I have for others wishing to do this tour is that you have to have a hard copy ticket or be able to bring it up on your phone. Even though we booked online and they had our names, the lady in the booth needed me to pull the confirmation up on my phone . Unfortunately, this caused us to delay the line , which we hate to do.

Simple and Enjoyable
Reviewed by: Ruth, 2014/10/22I had a great time on this trip. We were running a bit late due to a road being closed,but that didn't seem to be an issue. I liked that they called to confirm that we were still coming. The crew was great and pretty much left us to just enjoy the ride after they went through safety and other useful instructions.
We went out a decent ways but not too far out to hit the really rough waters (granted I like big waves so I would have been fine with the rougher waters). If there was any interesting wild life, they pointed it out so everyone could see.There's a drink bar. I didn't really use this for anything beyond soda. I did buy one of their cups and still think it was worth it. It's a useful cup. As for space on the boat, there was never an issue with not having enough room to look out over the railing.
Things my husband and I enjoyed about the trip:
> The view - it was quite beautiful
> The fact that it was simple - we really didn't want to do a dinner cruise or be out on a giant boat. All we wanted was to get out on the water and enjoy the view and this was absolutely perfect for that.
> Meeting new people - we had several good conversations with the people on the boat. I rather enjoyed this and it made the trip that much better.
> Sitting on the netting - it was really neat to watch the water through the netting (also comfortable to sit on)
Over all it was a very excellent experience and was exactly what we wanted. I would have been happy spending all day out on the boat. If I ever end back up in the area, I would use them again.
