Oahu
Very convenient as we stayed at the Outrigger, a stones throw from where we boarded the vessel. Crew was very friendly and that always helps. Confused about flippers. Posting on web site said they are not provided by yet they were given out on the ship. I’m glad, made snorkeling a lo easier. Turtles were fun to watch. Only wish we saw more of the reef. Had a very good time.
The crew was awesome , very chill and down to earth vibes. They made sure everyone was safe and had a good time. With this being my first visit to Hawaii and first time snorkeling with turtle i would definitely have to recommend for everyone to sign up for this experience.
Great staff, convenient, easy to sign up, comfy boat. Iva always had a great time on this catamaran and have done it many times over the years. Staff is fun and makes everyone feel welcome. They play fun music too.
Booked this and they had to reschedule us three times. This hindered our vacation scheduling. The ride wasn’t very long and not much to see. It was a cool experience but very pricey for what it is.
Aloha Jen! Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your submarine tour! However, we are very disappointed to learn you did not have an exceptional experience and that we had to reschedule your tour several times. We will share your valuable feedback with our leadership team for careful consideration. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you aboard again in the future. Mahalo!
Very cool trip. Love the sailing. Crew was great.
Not too crowded and had a great time.
This trip to Oahu was our wedding/honeymoon trip. Other than our big day, this was out favorite part of our stay! Such a fun experience! The staff was very friendly and it was obvious they genuinely wanted you to have a great time with them! We tell everyone if there was something we could've done a second time while we were there, this cruise would have been it! The single downside to this activity is just finding where to meet, and finding parking for those not staying in the area. Maybe by the time you go, they'll have big booze cruise signs around and parking recommendations online
In Waikiki, there are a lot of tours to choose from but I think we picked the best one. I loved the fact that we had the ability to bring our own drinks and food since we had a few picky eaters in our group. Our captain(s) were very helpful and kept a lively ship. Even my dad who was apprehensive about the whole thing ended up loving it. This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawai'i.
This tour was amazing!! Our two guides made us seem so welcome and they make sure you have plenty of alcohol to enjoy your time on the boat! I highly recommend wearing a swimsuit - if you want to enjoy the front of the boat with the best views you will get completely drenched, but that was our favorite part! 10/10, would do again for sure!
We did a sunset cruise with another boat but we strongly preferred this one! Our crew was all girls which I thought was amazing!! Amy was great. The drinks were good and they even offered snacks for the kids that were on the boat. It was a nice morning cruise and I recommend to anyone! And they let you go on the netting on this boat, unlike another one I went on.
This sunset cruise was fun! Lots of options to drink- beer, wine, white claws, Mai Tais. The Mai tais were alright. The sunset was beautiful. A guy coming off the one before us said “I don’t know if I’m sea sick or drunk”
It was fun to attempt to surf. The teacher was very nice and patient
The 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.
The team was great and fun and helpful. Great experience for sure! :-)
The crew was amazing, the drinks were good and the price is cheap. I wish it was a bit longer than an hour but it was a lot of fun. Good music and a great vibe. I will definitely do it again
Would recommend doing this. Friendly, well organized!
just an awesome adventure everyone should try it exciting to see the bottom of the ocean planes boats fish
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent experience with us, from the shuttle boat ride to the deep-sea exploration. We love hearing from our guests and are thrilled to know you had a fantastic submarine adventure! Thank you very much for sharing your valuable feedback and recommendation. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future for another underwater journey, sunset cruise, or whale watch cruise! A hui hou (until next time).
My wife and I had a great time! The crew was super helpful and friendly. They were great about getting the correct gear, pointing out interesting items - including the 5 turtles we saw that day.
Captain Ryan and his first mate were awesome, and we will definitely go again and can absolutely recommend this experience to others.
The tour was great, crew were really nice and tons of fun! We saw a bunch of turtles and fish, and even saw dolphins next to the boat on the ride back.
Wow! This cruise was fantastic! We were able to see so many sea turtles up close and personal. I had to actively maintain my distance because they were so friendly and seemed completely unaffected by humans.
Do the sunset cruise. You won't regret it. The views of Waikiki, Diamond Head and the ocean are just incredible. The view is fun, the music is great, and the drinks are fantastic. Must try their signature drink, the Holokai Hooch. If I went back for another week in Waikiki I'm not kidding when I say I would do this more than once.
The crew of the Mana Kai were fantastic. We went on the sunset cruise and had some of the best times of our whole trip talking with the crew and other passengers. The ride out from shore was quite the adventure. Make sure you are ready to get splashed if there are any waves. But no worries, it is all part of the experience.
This BYOB trip on a smaller boat is much better than being on a big booze cruise packed with people. There are a lot boats out there so you have a lot of choices. This one was perfect for us. We had a good time, the other passengers had a good time and the crew had a good time all while enjoying great views of Diamond Head and a beautiful sunset. What more could you ask for on a short cruise.
The 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.
A waste of money because we looked for parking for over 1/2 an hour and missed our check-in time on the boat.
The open bar was great! The bar tender/ deck hand kept pumping out as fast as you can drink them! The view was amazing too!
We celebrated my sisters 50th Anniversary on board. It was fantastic!
Lots of turtles and bonus dolphins! Fun time on the water.
Have been taking the Na hoko 2 since 1998. Has always the best catamaran experience of all the catamarans. This year my whole family was with us. Some for the first time. In the past it has always been an hour and half sail, sometimes longer. This time 1 hour. And we did not stop to let us jump on. :( but still reccomend. Great crew. Great drinks!
Omg. The music, the people, the fact you can bring unlimited amount of booze and have a great time is always 5 stars in my book. The captain, crew and DJ all lived up to my standards. Definitely recommend. Also the stunning views of diamond head, the city, the sunset, and just being out in the ocean on a hot evening was so awesome.
It was the last night of our Hawaii vacation and the cruise was beautiful! The food was very good and the sunset was just breathtaking! Our waiter, Denny, made sure we had everything we needed. He took care of all of his other tables with the same attentiveness. The performers were truly professional. And my daughter said "Yes" when her boyfriend asked her to marry him!
Staff was friendly and helpful. Our pilot was informative and funny. The only downside was the video of our trip was not record by helicopter because of communication issues with the tour. We did get make a fun video with a replica of the Magnum PI Ferrari.
