Oahu
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.
It was a wonderful experience with the help of three sailors. We would gladly do this again and cannot wait to come back to Hawaii eventually.
This sunset cruise was super fun. The crew was very laid back and provided a very relaxed environment for the group to unwind on a beautiful evening in Waikiki. We sailed all the way down the beach and had amazing views of the city and Diamond Head.
We really enjoyed the Maitai Catamaran Sunset Sail. Everyone was very friendly, and it was such an enjoyable experience. The sunset was gorgeous, as were the rest of the views. Would definitely recommend! Cant wait to be back and attend another sunset sail.
We had a great time on this two hour cruise. Food portions weren’t huge but we’re delicious! Enjoyed the show and the music throughout. The package came with 2 drinks per person, and extra drinks were available for purchase. My only complaint would be the bus transportation - for some reason, our trip to the boat took forever…I think we were waiting on passengers that weren’t at the pick up spot, so this somewhat delayed our arrival. Otherwise-great time!
We had the best time! Would highly recommend this catamaran
Highly recommend! The entire boat crew was great and were on time! This is my second time doing the boat happy hour and it doesn’t disappoint!
My friends and I had the greatest and relaxing time! The crew was very friendly and had such great energy! Highly recommended!!!!
At first I expected a fancy-ish boat (like a cruise-type of thing), was caught off guard when it was a boat which was fully open on the sand (it's a barefoot cruise!). I do realize it says sail now.
The open bar was great as well as the views. Wonderful sunset observed with great time for pictures.
They were not lying when they said the mai tais (delicious btw) would sneak up on you!
Booked this tour for my parents to enjoy a sightseeing experience of the beautiful island. They had a thrill and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. No complaints!
Amazing time! I loved being on the boat and just swimming around even tho there weren't many turtles to see. We saw a lot of fish tho! Would def do it again.
Had a great time cruising around waikiki. Views from the catamaran were amazing.
This was so much fun. The scenery was beautiful and we danced to great music. It'd bring your own beverages...remember.
Not worth it !
The boat ride was very rough, we barely had 15 minutes in the water. The water was really blur and we saw almost nothing.
Unfortunately the drink were not good as well, the mai tai was only ice and juice … not recommended!
Had a fabulous time with my group of friends! We're all in our 30s and thought this was one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip. The Mai tais were delicious but they also offer beer and white claw as well and it's AYCD. Staff was super friendly, felt very safe on the catamaran, and the views of the water and the sunset were absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommend!!!
Great time. Crew was fun and very helpful, especially with helping my elderly mother getting on and off the boat. Thank you!
Kind Captain andcrew. Wonder sail. Such a great time. Many thanks.
It was a nice and beautiful sail out in the ocean and when it came time to snorkeling it was fun and eventful!
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!
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.
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.
