Oahu
We had such a GREAT time! The captain and Mason were a lot of fun, very nice, and helped us all have a blast. My husband and I didn’t have a cooler bc we’re on vacation, but they had coolers iced down for anyone who needed it.
The views you see of the sunset and city are unreal. You won’t see anything like it from the beach. We really enjoyed ourselves and are thinking of doing this one more time before we head home. Worth it!
The guys were very chill and gave us a great trip over to diamond head and around turtle canyon. It really made our morning! If we had more time here we would have done another trip with them! It was especially nice being able to board from the beach instead of driving down to a marina.
I had a great time. Good food, good drinks, great entertainment and views!
We sail on this boat each trip to Oahu. The staff is great and you never know what you’ll see while out sailing.
The crew for this cruise was amazing. They were always asking if they could get us something. So pretty to see the sunset in Hawaii from the boat. Drinks and appetizers were very good, definitely worth the money.
Sunset in Hawaii is the best, and this is one of the best way for you to enjoy the sunset. We were so lucky on that day, we saw a lot of whale. The music was good, the crew was super nice and friendly. They even offered to take the pictures for us. We loved the experience so much, and definitely we will do it again when we come back to Waikiki next time
We had a great time on the sunset cruise. I liked how we could bring our own drinks. The crew offered to take photos of us which was awesome. AND we saw a whale! One of the highlights to my whole trip. I would definitely recommend booking this cruise. It’s totally worth it.
On our first day in Waikiki we started off with a thrill at Outrigger Canoe Surfing! The experience was fantastic from start to finish. Russell was the captain and he and his crew were phenomenal and with their encouragement we powered through the surf and set up for three exhilarating rides over the breaking waves. It felt as though we were surfing. I would recommend this again in a heartbeat.
Belated "Mahalo Nui Loa" for your generous 5-star rating. Glad to know that canoe captain and our staff took care of your party. Thank you for recommending this true Hawaiian sport that you can only experience in Waikiki. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Aloha, Waikiki Beach Services
The crew of the Mana Kai is so welcoming. It’s a fun experience and a really great deal. Our trip wouldn’t have been nearly as fantastic if not for this experience. And I’m not just saying that because we got to see whales! Highly recommend.
Very relaxing, and beautiful sunset.
Staff was awesome and very attentive
We had a big family group and everyone enjoyed the trip. We had ages from 2 to over 60. COVID conditions meant a smaller group so it was not crowded. Itxwas a beautiful day. We spotted lots of whales. We danced to the great selection of music played by Tiny. Wholeheartedly recommend this excursion.
Aloha!
What an amazing adventure aboard the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises. We’re happy to hear you and your family enjoyed exploring a part of Oahu that most people don’t get to see and are excited you saw some astonishing marine life! That is truly a lifetime experience only few can witness. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and taking part in the Aloha spirit. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back in the future aboard one of our submarines and/or the Majestic by Atlantis Cruises for another Atlantis adventure; an underwater journey, sunset cruise, or seasonal whale watch cruise. Feel free to follow us on social media at #atlantishawaii. A hui hou (until next time).
The meal service, the taste of the food, and to top it off the liveliness throughout the entire evening. This is something you will not want to miss on Oahu!!!
They have a great crew very attentive and great Mai Tais would definitely do it again.
I participated with a friend. In the group lesson, there were four students per teacher, but they helped us catch a lot of waves. I was very satisfied. The teaching style was interesting, and since there were people who could speak Japanese, I was able to relax and enjoy the experience.
友達と2人で参加しました。グループレッスンで1人の先生につき4人でしたが、たくさん波に乗せてくれます。大満足でした。教え方も面白くて、日本語を話せる方もいらっしゃったのでリラックスして参加できました。
This is my second time doing this sunset cruise, and it was just as great as the first! Mana Kai was getting worked on, so they put us on a different, more luxurious catamaran and we had zero complaints. Would do it all over again, once again!
Great experience viewing aquatic life from submarine. Totally worth to visit once in a lifetime. On downside, finding the checking point was too cumbersome. Do plan to reach well advance in time. Did see lots of fishes, turtles. A bit on the expensive side, but again where else you would see marine life so closely without getting wet.
Mahalo for your excellent review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your recent experience with Atlantis Adventures, 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.

Perfect for a fun girls night out! Each of the 5-courses was perfectly timed so the food that was meant to be hot came out at the right temperature.
Loved their afternoon sail that we came back another time for the sunset sail! This boat is a beach catamaran in between the Sheraton Waikiki and Halekulani hotel. The crew was really friendly and we all had so much fun! Would recommend!
Loved experiencing this right in Waikiki! The location at the Royal Hawaiian hotel was really convenient (no long bus rides) and the food was 10 out of 10. It started to rain a bit during the show and within minutes, the servers brought out towels to everyone so we could stay dry and catch the last bit of the show. Service was fantastic. Would recommend the extra to get the Premium seating closer to the stage.
Love, love, LOVE this boat! It's a beach catamaran so no transportation is needed. Plus, they provide you with FINS that are super comfy and adjustable. After snorkeling, you get some snacks and can purchase drinks on board. We got the souvenir Holokai shaker to keep. We did the 9am cruise which was perfect for visibility and to catch a little bit of sun before it got too hot in the afternoon. Would recommend!
If you love all-you-can-eat crab lets, then THIS is the menu for you. We ate stacks on stacks of crabs. But, if you aren't - you can substitute the crab for chicken, fish, or a vegan option. The crabs were perfect with butter! Good entertainment and beautiful city skyline.
Hands down one of the best happy hours in Waikiki!! Their main drink is the mai tai but they also have wine, beer, seltzers, and non-alcoholic drinks. The 3pm cruise was perfect for us! We went on the 3-4:30pm cruise then headed over to Duke's Waikiki for an early dinner. I'd recommend the afternoon option if you're looking for a nice short activity in the sun. The crew was great and we had a blast!
To be fair, the weather played a part in my review but even if it had been perfect, I wouldn't have been impressed. It was raining prior to our departure and when I asked the people operating the boat if they were still going to sail, they said yes as long as it didn't rain harder. I asked if we'd even see a sunset since it was cloudy and they weren't sure. We boarded the boat which was wet from the rain and dirty from people tracking sand into it. The boat was pretty small and very crowded, they indicated they had a full cruise that night and that was an understatement. We could barely find a place to sit, and again, everything was wet so that wasn't great. It started raining again before we departed so our family made the decision to get off the boat and not go on the sail. The people operating the boat simply said "hopefully you come back again" when we informed them we were leaving. I called to inquire about a refund and left a VM but never received a call back. I sent an email and inquired but was told that the cruise did go out that night so a refund was not possible even though it was cloudy and there was no sunset. I understand the refund policy and agreed to it when I booked so they certainly had the right to keep our money but all in all, I just think it was pretty poor customer service and as stated above, even if the weather had been perfect, the cruise itself left a lot to be desired.
Overall this snorkel adventure isn’t that great there is only one small reef with maybe 3 turtles and that’s it. Also you are swimming around 3-4 other boats that have about 20 people each so it gets really packed really fast in the small little area. It’s a good beginner snorkel trip but if you are wanting to get a quality experience with a big reef to swim around I would look elsewhere
There 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!
Took my wife and 6 year old son on the morning snorkel cruise. It was conveniently located and easy to navigate finding. Mina and the team were very helpful, accommodating and ensured that we had an awesome time . We spotted about 5 turtles and tons of schools of fish.
We will do this trip everytime we’re on the island
Fabulous. It was one of the best things I have ever done. I highly recommend this as a activity must do!!! We will cherish this experience forever!
Aloha ! We are thrilled to hear you enjoyed your deep sea adventure with us. We love hearing about our guests experiences, and we are happy that you had a memorable one. We hope we have the pleasure of hosting you again. Mahalo for taking the time to write a review!
Lasted way longer than we were told. People were lined up to get off an hour before we docked. The meal was tasty but not filling. The entertainment was great and the dancers were absolutely amazing. The staff of very friendly and Overall it was a good experience just not something I would do again. If you get motion sickness I would think twice about this I saw many people spend the entire cruise in the bathroom.
Best experience ever. I seen so many beautiful. Fish and turtles. The crew were awesome and fun i would definitely do it again. Just being out there on the ocean was so amazing
the boat ride was fun, the view was amazing, the crew was the best!
