A Great Experience!

Reviewed by: Gunner

We thoroughly enjoyed our private north shore sunset cruise. Captains Nick and Ricky were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had the best experience. They told us all about Hawaii, pointed out neat and interesting things along the shore and gave us a very enjoyable experience. We highly recommend!

Wonderful experience from the ease of booking online the 90-minute Manu Kai Catamaran private charter for my sister, Captain Charlene J.’s Ash Scattering Memorial to the end. Awesome crew, Aiden, Zach, and Brandon with instructions and accommodations. Hawaii was our sister’s second home and to commemorate her with our family made it so special. Mahalo nui loa 🤙🏼🌺

Holokai Catamaran Private Ash Scattering at Sea from Waikiki Beach

Ash ceremony

Reviewed by: Superb support for memorial ash service

Our party had 3 different cars coming from far outside Honolulu and some of us got caught in terrible morning traffic. The boat and office allowed us to wait and even helped on phone to one of the lost parties.

The boat crew were calm and pleasant despite a very late start. They were also respectful and thoughtful.

予約時点からメールでのやり取りがとても丁寧で安心できました。
当日はいいお天気でクジラもイルカの大群も海ガメも魚もたくさんみれて大満足でした。特にイルカの大群もは信じられないくらいいて感動しました。
ガイド兼ドライバーさん、船のキャプテンも親切でいるかを一生懸命探してくださいました。子供達はシュノーケルはできませんでしたがキャプテンに楽しませてもらったようです。バッグ付きのスナックは大人も子供も大喜びで、帰国後も皆学校や職場に持って行くそうです。本当にありがとうございました!

船酔いする人はいませんでしたが場所によってかなり揺れがありました。心配な方は酔い止め服用をお勧めします。また、双眼鏡があればご自身でもクジラたちを探せていいと思います

Thank you guys for the amazing time! Would highly recommend this trip. We did see whales, beautiful views of paradise, some crap traps, and the site for the open shark dive. We loved the crew so much, we have now signed up for the shark dive! We can’t wait! The crew were fantastic, captain and skipper both knew and shared a ton of great information about the island. They took their time and were not in a rush. The sunset was also amazing. Could not have asked for a better trip!

An Unforgettable Tour

Reviewed by: ella

I was looking for a turtle snorkeling tour and came across this company. Since I was traveling alone, I wanted to avoid overly crowded snorkeling tours, and this company had great reviews, so I decided to go with them. The tour guides were incredibly friendly and fun. I’m especially grateful to Francesco, who guided me since I’m not very confident in swimming. I’ll definitely recommend this to my friends! Thank you so much!

サンドバー シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ グループ旅行にぴったり!ゆったりとしたカタマラン船でアレンジ自由自在!<10名まで/日本語クルー>

13名のプライベートのツアーにアレンジしてくださいました。

Reviewed by: Lily

12月末に祖父母、娘息子家族の総勢13名三世代で申し込みました。ツアーの10名との記載がありますが事前の問い合わせでやりとりし、プラス300ドルの13名の貸切の送迎バス、船をご用意いただきました。バスの運転手さん、船上のスタッフ(操縦士さん2人とシュノーケルのインストラクターの日本人女性えみさん)も非常に親切でした。船は少し揺れましたが船酔いはほとんどなく大丈夫でした。えみさんは見える景色の説明やサンドバーでの注意点、シュノーケルのマスクの付け方、コツなどを船のエンジン音にも負けずさわやかに聞き取りやすい声で的確に教えてくださいました。10歳2人はえみさんについて大人と同様に目一杯シュノーケルを楽しめました。色とりどりの魚、珊瑚礁、ウミガメもたくさん見ることができました。カメは水面から顔を出す姿や海底で寝ている姿など5-6匹見ることができました。6歳、5歳、2歳は眠くなってしまったり疲れてしまって途中で船に戻りましたが屋根のある船の日陰で海風に吹かれながら景色を楽しめました。70代60代の父母も自分たちのペースでサンドバーを歩いて楽しんだり、シュノーケリングをしたり、船の上で孫たちとゆっくりしたりそれぞれのペースで楽しめました。帰りもホテルまでバスで送っていただきとても楽しいツアーでした。選んでよかったです。ありがとうございました。

Tips and suggestions

リーフシューズは持って行きましたが個人的には不要でした。スナックもらえますが子どもには簡単に食べられるスパム握りなどを持って行って正解でした。濡れた後船上は寒いのでタオルや防寒具は必要でした。

We had a very special sunset cruise on the evening of November 3rd onboard the Makani Catamaran! I think we ended up with 22 in our Navy reunion group and it was the last of four events we had this weekend. Our crew was very professional and friendly. It was a smooth cruise from start to finish. The guys are great bartenders and my Mai Tai was outstanding! The views of Honolulu, Diamond Head and the sunset were amazing! I would strongly recommend this private cruise to any group of 20 to 49 people. Thanks Captain C for an amazing experience!

Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Snorkel Private Charter & Dolphin Watch Experience

An amazing experience!!

Reviewed by: Melanie

We had the BEST time on our Ko Olina Ocean Adventures Dolphin & Snorkel Private Charter on October 10th!! We did the 3-hour private charter. We had a group of 25, all family, visiting Oahu for our wedding celebration and had booked this cruise for a little pre-wedding fun. Well, the cruise was beyond our expectations. We had the best time cruising around and snorkeling. We snorkeled and saw dolphins, sea turtles, and got to feed the fish. We had several kids under age 5 and they were able to accommodate us all. The crew was absolutely amazing. They took care of everyone’s needs, made us feel special, and created a super fun environment, all the while making sure we were safe. The food and drinks were also amazing!! Mine and my husband’s families cannot stop raving about the cruise and how amazing it was. It was also suitable for all ages, which was great, as we had six kids under 5. Also, booking this cruise through VELTRA was a breeze. They were so helpful and answered all my questions. Stop your searching and book this cruise, you will not regret it. I could not recommend this enough!! Thank you to the team for making this day so special for us and our family!!
