2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Fun snorkeling for the first time

Reviewed by: Michelle

2nd time being in hawaii and haven’t gone snorkeling until now. The experience was very exciting especially seeing the fishes and sea turtles. The life guards and the kids were very helpful ! Such a fun couple of hours spent at waikiki beach. I decided to buy my own snorkel gear for sanitary reasons. I want to try it again some time when i get the opportunity too.

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

It's ok I guess.

Reviewed by: Vince

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.

This was so much fun for my boyfriend and I! We had great conversation with the staff, saw several turtles, the most beautiful water, and the view of the mountains was everything you could want from Hawaii. I strongly recommend!

AMAZING TIME

Reviewed by: Adriana

My group and I throughly enjoyed this sunset cruise! It was our final night in Waikiki and we couldn’t have asked for a better ending. The views of Diamond Head at sunset are breathtaking and the crew ensure everyone on the cruise had an amazing time! I would highly encourage everyone to do this cruise and bring clothes you don’t mind getting wet!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Best experience of my life!

Reviewed by: Natasha

This was an awesome experience! I saw so many turtles, which was my only goal in Hawaii. I also saw dolphins in a distance. The guys on the boat were awesome! One of the divers dove down with my camera and took pictures for me of the turtles up close with a respectful distance.

I, sadly, also got seasick on the boat. I had no idea I would get that sick. The hosts were so helpful without making me feel embarrassed. They kept checking on me, bringing me water and lavender oil which helped a lot for the sickness.

I also loved that they were respectful of the turtles as you will get fined if you touch a turtle in Hawaii. They made us keep our distance from the turtles which I really respect and love about Hawaiin culture. They actually care about the Earth and animals.

サンセット・ディナークルーズ  スターオブホノルル号 ライブショーと選べるビュッフェまたはコースディナー

The table is small. テーブルが狭い。

Reviewed by: Mitch

The table is small, so when the food arrives, if you don't place the drinks carefully, they might fall. The staff in charge of the tables are busy, and it's quite difficult to order drinks in between courses.

Also, while eating, we take off our masks, but many people leave them off. When moving to see the sunset, it's hard to maintain a distance of six feet.

We participated after being vaccinated in the mainland United States, but I think it might be a bit concerning for those who are not.

テーブルが狭いので料理が来ると飲み物を上手に置かないと落ちそうになります。テーブル担当するスタッフは忙しく、コース料理が出ている間は途中のドリンク注文はなかなかできません。
また、食事中はマスクを外しますが、そのまま外した人は多く、夕日を見るのに移動する際は6フィートの距離を確保するのはむずかしいです。
我々はアメリカ本土でワクチン接種済みで参加しましたが、そうでないとやや不安にあるかと思います。

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Incredible Sunset Cruise!

Reviewed by: Nat

I took some family on the cruise recently and everyone had an amazing time! The crew is super nice and funny which helps makes the experience even better. The boat has enough space for everyone to sit and/or lean on something. It was very fun going out to the open ocean and seeing the island from far away. The last cruise of the day is very beautiful at sunset, but I could also see how a mid day cruise would be fun. The Mai Tai's were tasty and if you want an alternative they have Corona or soda and juice. I believe this event could be fun with family, friends, or even solo. We'll definitely be coming back!

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Memorable night for my in law’s anniversary celebration

Reviewed by: Sol

It was my in law’s anniversary and we took them and our kids to this Sunset cruise. A few of our party were easier to get motion sickness but since this cruise is massive enough so we all felt great throughout the cruise. The sunset sceneries with the Waikiki beach as the back drop was very romantic while we also get up close to Diamond Head for great pictures opportunities. The food was great and even the kids like it. The entertainment after dinner has a great celebration atmosphere with us standing and dancing a little bit at the end. We took home the photo package and it was worth it to capture the memorable night. The only item that I would suggest to improve is the wine selection on the red wine section. There are two complementary drinks per person with good value. We would surely go back for this again next time when we visit Oahu.

Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Morning Adventure Sail from Hilton Pier

Bumpy Ride

Reviewed by: Alissa

The sail itself was very windy and bumpy for most of the trip. You definitely had to hold on to the rail or be sitting. There were even a few times the people in the front caught a wave and got pretty wet. With that being said you are in a boat in the ocean so this was expected. It did however make it difficult to take advantage of the drinks offered ;). Overall the sail was fun :) and the best parts were the views and the staff was awesome.

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

Mana Kai Turtle Snorkel

Reviewed by: Liz

Our family enjoyed the boat ride. It was about 15 min away. The staff was wonderful. I was able to see only two turtles and some fish. That was very cool. The current was a bit strong at times. Glad the staff helped me with their surf boards.
My three kids ages: 4,5,8, had a hard time swimming because the current was a bit strong so they were only in the water for about 5 minutes. The goggles & snorkel equipment were too big for the toddlers. Next time we will pack ours. We did pack the vests for the kids but they do have some available.
They did see some turtles over the surface. Great weather. We did the 2 pm tour. Make sure to pack some nausea medicine, some folks felt very sick.
We liked being able to bring our own food & drinks.

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Superb even for solo

Reviewed by: Chris C

I booked this cruise while staying in Waikiki on a solo trip. The staff and captain are personable and efficient and the catamaran is modern and roomy. We cruised along the coast towards Diamond Head crater and then put the sails up for a jaunty ride in the open sea for about 10 minutes. Captain turned the boat around to enjoy picturesque sunset views and some cool tunes while sipping on the crew members own recipe Turtle Tini. There were a mix of couples and multi generational families and the staff was accommodating to everyone’s needs, even those who were a little green in the gills from sea sickness. Highly recommended, even if you’re by yourself!

Waikiki Sea Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Drink | 2-Hour Morning Adventure aboard Moana Catamaran

Great day on the water!

Reviewed by: Angela

Saw lots of turtles and fish! Boat was clean, safe and well staffed. Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen. Crew of 5 and it was easy to get equipment on and ready. Our group had about 33 which was a lot - made for close quarters at times and a line at the stairs. Crew was quiet and all business … they were likely sick of tourists at this point. Beautiful pictures and scenery. Really nice catamaran.

Star of Honolulu Sunset Dinner Cruise – 5-Course Steak & Lobster Menu, Polynesian Show & Live Music

Absolutely AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: James Tindol

The Star of Honolulu was just simply AMAZING!!! Our server Sabrina was extremely nice and attentive to all of our needs. The assistant manager Robert was very nice and helpful when we didn’t receive our bottle of wine that we ordered. He took care of it immediately and brought it to our table. It was closer to the end of the cruise so we ended up sharing the bottle with our neighbors at the next table. We ended up booking this dinner cruise over a luau since we heard such good things about the Star of Honolulu dinner cruise and I’m so glad we did. The dinner show was absolutely amazing and entertaining. I will definitely book this cruise again next year when we come go back to Hawaii. Thank you to all your staff and crew for making it an unforgettable evening
