It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).
The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.

I highly recommend this activity if your staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.
It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.
The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

We had a great time on the tour. The boat was easy to find. We signed a waiver and picked a spot to sit until it was time to leave. The crew were friendly and told us where to sit if we want a splash (my kids did) and where to stay dry. They even kept our bag somewhere safe from the waves. My kids loved laying on the net and riding out to turtle canyon. We were one of the first boats out there. They went over some simple instructions and handed out snorkeling equipment. I liked the life vests they used-it was an aqua lung type instead of a basic life jacket so you could choose how much air to have. I had brought a life jacket for my toddler and 5yr old, but they also had life vests for some other kids on our tour.
I had a 10, 5, and 22mo old with me. The crew was helpful handing out stuff and trying to find a mask to fit my 5yr old. She is actually a pretty good snorkel-er but unfortunately it was hard finding a mask and snorkel that fit her. They kept filling with water. I wish I had known and I would have brought hers. If you have a set you like-my tip is to bring it. They did not provide fins either which was ok but I can get my kids and I around easier with fins. The masks and snorkels were pretty basic. Mine fogged up every couple minutes but luckily I am experienced and can clear it. That’s the only draw-back about the trip is I would have rather had our own stuff that we have properly cleaned and fit better. It’s February and kind of a windy/rainy day but it was still warm enough to be comfortable In the water. There were lots of waves and the water was cloudy so it was difficult to see. Soon there were tons of boats and people. We mostly interacted with Matt. He was out in the water life guarding. He helped us find the turtles and was so nice letting my kids hold onto his surfboard when needed. He even helped me carry my middle daughter to the beach since I had my hands full. Thank you! He definitely made the tour great!

We want to thank Mani Kai for a wonderful time! Not only did we see turtles and plenty of fish, but we saw pods of spinner dolphins and whales as well. The views of the Island from the ocean are beautiful. You will enjoy about 1.5 hours of snorkeling. We brought our own snacks and beverages. The captain and his mate were extremely attentive to the needs of the group. We really enjoyed ourselves. This is a must do for couples or Families with older children. This experience was of great value. Thank you!

We have been snorkelling a couple of times but this was different. We saw so many turtles and fish. Great fun for our teenage kids. The boat team were fun, experienced and professional. The boat was spotless and well maintained. The sail after snorkelling was a bit rough going out due to the weather but that made it more fun! Coming back was smooth and relaxing. Free snacks on board and drinks reasonably priced.

We had a great time. Despite Neptune whipping sand up into the water making the clarity poor the crew made up for it and ensured we had a great time. We still saw green sea turtles both below and above the water. We had a great time just sailing the Cat when it was clear that snorkeling conditions weren't great.

On the last day of our trip, we searched for activities near Waikiki and made a reservation the day before. The other participants were mostly foreigners, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but we managed to follow along. About 10 minutes after departure, snorkeling began. There weren't many fish, but we saw three sea turtles. The ocean was surprisingly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed sailing and took in views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. We had a lot more fun than we expected, even near Waikiki!
旅行最終日にワイキキ近くでできるアクティビティを探して前日申込みました。
参加者は私達夫婦以外は外人ばかりで、日本語の説明も全くありませんでしたが、流れでついていきました。
出航から10分くらいでシュノーケルが始まりました。魚はあまりいませんでしたが、ホヌは3匹は見れました。海は意外にもキレイでした。
その後セーリングでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを海から眺めました。
ワイキキ近くでも予想以上に楽しめました!

On the last day, I joined this tour to find a place to play in Honolulu in the morning. We took a boat from downtown Honolulu to a spot that wasn't too far away. Honestly, I thought it was a bit too close, but I was able to see at least three sea turtles! The water was a bit deep, so it wasn't incredibly clear, but the sea turtles were golden and divine! Moreover, I was able to see them come up to the surface for air, and at that moment, I was truly moved to be swimming so close to the sea turtles!
The cruising after snorkeling was just a slow ride around near Honolulu, so it wasn't particularly exciting, but I was very satisfied because I got to see the sea turtles!
最終日、午前中にホノルルで遊べるところを探してこのツアーに参加しました。ホノルルの中心部から船に乗って、それほど離れていないところまで移動、正直近すぎるポイントだなと思いましたが、ウミガメが少なくとも3頭見れました!少し水深は深いところなので海がめちゃめちゃキレイというわけではないのですが、ウミガメは金色で神々しい!しかも息継ぎに海面に顔を出すところまで見れて、その時にはほんとに間近でウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て感動です!
シュノーケリングした後のクルージングは、ホノルル近くをゆっくり走行しただけなので、それほど楽しいこともなかったのですが、ウミガメを見れたので大満足です!

I took my son, daughter, and my son's two friends on this cruise for my son's birthday and they had a blast! The crew got them sized for their snorkels and fins and they had so much fun swimming with all the fish in the clear water! The kids loved jumping on the inflatable trampoline, going down the slide, and especially loved jumping off the top deck of the boat! They raced each other on kayaks and the stand up paddle boards and had tons of fun. The crew were very accommodating and friendly! They even had snacks and drinks for everyone, which the kids devoured. My kids and my son's friends had a memorable day in the water and I got some great pictures to remember his birthday!
Thanks for leaving a lovely review! We all had a great time, hope to see you guys again!

This was SUCH a fun experience for my kids and their friends (ages 7 - 12). They got to do all five activities and didn't have any wait at all for 4 (there was a short wait for the stand-up paddle, but because there were four other things for them to have fun doing, they didn't notice at all). The crew was fabulous. They let the kids jump off the boat from different parts and had great snacks that the kids gobbled up. We asked them what they liked the best and they said they loved all the activities.
The stand-up paddling was probably the biggest hit. The snorkel and kayak and jumping off the boat (extra LOL) was next. Slide and trampoline after that. Since they're smaller/lighter, it was harder for them to jump on the trampoline -- adults will be able to make it bounce more. But yes, over all, AMAZING experience. Just a reminder that the harbor is paid parking so make sure to be ready for that. Hope you all enjoy it like we did! :)

This was my second time participating in this tour. I usually join the morning sessions, including those from other companies, but this time I thought I’d try the 12 PM session. Just like last time, the staff were all very pleasant. It’s a reliable tour. The visibility wasn’t great this time, but we saw more than five turtles and a decent number of fish. It lasts about two and a half hours, and the fact that it departs right from the heart of Waikiki makes it highly recommended for enjoying such an experience just a bit offshore. I also appreciated that they provide fins along with the snorkeling set.
このツアーには2回目の参加でした。他社のも含めいつも朝イチの方にさんかしてたのですが、たまには午後にしてみようかと今回は12時の回にしてみました。前回同様スタッフはみなさん感じよく。安定感あるツアーです。今回は透明度が今ひとつでしたが、亀さんは5匹以上、魚はまぁまぁいました。2時間半程度で、しかもワイキキど真ん中からのツアー、ワイキキからちょっと沖にでてこれだけ楽しめる、というのは変わらずおすすめ!シュノーケルセットに加えてフィンも貸してくれるのも結構うれしいポイントです。

My overall impression of the experience was good. What I liked most about the activity was seeing the fish while snorkeling. I also saw a few turtles bobbing in and out of the water. There was a boat passing with some dolphins visible which was a nice surprise. My advice for future participants include taking precautions for any motion sickness because the water can make the boat rock a bit depending on the waves. Otherwise its a nice experience overall. It was great at the end of the trip when our shoes were lined up before exiting the ship.

The day I participated, it was packed with about 40 people, and there was barely enough room to sit. There were four crew members. I attended with elementary school children, but the explanation for using the snorkeling gear was very brief, and after that, everyone pretty much did their own thing. During sailing, the crew said it was optional to wear life jackets, and since they came around to collect them, none of the participants ended up wearing them.
I was able to see a sea turtle, and I spotted dolphins jumping in the distance, which was great, but I felt it might be more of an adult-oriented tour.
参加した日は40人くらいの満員状態で席もギリギリ座れるという状態でした。クルーは4人でした。小学生を連れての参加でしたがシュノーケリングの使い方はサラッと説明するくらいで、始まってからはほとんど各自で勝手にやるというかんじでした。セーリングの時は救命胴衣は着けても着けなくてもよいと言ってクルーが回収しにきて参加者全員着用してませんでした。
ウミガメは見れたし、遠くでイルカが飛び跳ねてるのが見えたので良かったですが、大人向けのツアーかな?と思いました。

It was an amazing experience to see so many turtles at once. I have been to Oahu about 20 times but never seen so many turtles! Some of them came to the surface and I was able to see them very close, I could even see their nostrils. After snorkeling, we went sailing to the Diamond Head and the boat jumped up and down the wave and my children were so excited! I would surely want to come again in the near future.
