The best experience I could’ve asked for!

The two-hour private rental was amazing, with a fantastic view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head from the ocean! Swimming while anchored was also very refreshing! I highly recommend it for families and friends!

We chartered a boat for a family trip with three generations, totaling nine people. We booked the two-hour course, which turned out to be just the right amount of time to relax and enjoy meals on board. However, if you plan to have a longer meal on the boat, a longer course might be better.

We brought takeout food and drinks with us, but there were plenty of utensils provided, and it was helpful that cold drinking water was available. There was also a cooler on board, so we could keep our drinks and fruits chilled. There were two restrooms available, and we were able to bring a stroller on board as well. Although we didn't use it, there was also a microwave (or oven?!) available.

From the boat, you can see Waikiki and Diamond Head. The time spent lying outside while enjoying the panoramic view was absolutely the best!

The boat arrived at the dock about 15 minutes before the departure time. Since there isn't a waiting area like a terminal near the dock, it might be better not to arrive too early.

親子3世代9名の家族旅行でチャーターしました。
2時間コースで申し込みましたが、船上でのんびりしたり食事をすることができ、丁度良い時間でした。
ただ、船上での食事を長めにとる場合は、もう少し長いコースの方がよいかもしれません。
テイクアウトした食事や飲み物を持参して乗り込みましたが、カトラリー類は十分用意されていましたし、冷たい飲料水の提供もあり助かりました。
クーラーボックスも設置されているので、飲み物やフルーツなどは冷やしておくこともできます。
トイレは2か所ありました。
ベビーカーも積み込むことができました。
使用してはいませんが、電子レンジ(オーブン?!)もありました。

船上からはワイキキやダイヤモンドヘッドを見ることができます。
特に屋外で寝転がりながらパノラマビューを見ながら過ごす時間は最高でした!

船は出発時刻の15分くらい前に桟橋にやってきました。
桟橋付近にはターミナルのような待つ場所がないので、あまり早めに行かない方がいいかもしれません。

We boarded with 12 people. The yacht was larger and more beautiful than I expected, and we were able to spend a blissful time (^○^) Masa, who speaks Japanese, and the kind captain Austin prepared plenty of delicious appetizers for us, and I definitely want to use this service again! It was my first time seeing fireworks up so close!!!! Lying on the net at the front of the yacht while feeling the wind was just the best!!!! I already want to go again soon (^○^)

12人で乗船しました。
思っていたより大きくて綺麗なヨットで、至福の時を過ごすことができました(^○^)
日本語の出来るマサさん、優しい船長オースティン、美味しい前菜をたっぷり用意していただき、是非是非また利用させていただきたいです!
花火、あんなに間近で見たの初めててす!!!!
ヨットの前方のネットの上で寝転びながら風を感じるのがもう最高!!!!

Activity Date: 2024/02/27 | Posted on: 2024/03/23

I was a bit worried because there were no reviews, but it was such an amazing time that I wondered why there were no reviews! I went in March with 10 colleagues, and the two staff members were fantastic! The party was great, and we even saw whales. We had a truly memorable time!

In March, the evenings and nights in Hawaii can still be a bit chilly, especially when you're out at sea where the wind can be strong. You can swim (there's even a shower!), so I recommend wearing a long-sleeve shirt over your swimsuit that you don't mind getting wet!

We brought our own food and drinks, but everything was provided—plates, cutlery, cups, ice, you name it! They even put our snacks in a basket, making it super cute! One of the staff members spoke a little Japanese too! ❤️

口コミがなく少し心配だったのですが
なんで口コミないのかなってぐらいに最高な時間でした!
同僚10人で3月に行きましたが、スタッフのおふたりも最高!パーティーも最高!クジラも見れたし
思い出に残る本当にいい時間を過ごさせてもらいました!

ハワイの3月の夕方~夜はまだ少し肌寒く、
特に海に出ると風邪も強かったです。
泳ぐこともできる※シャワーまでついてます!ので、水着の上に濡れてもいいような長袖を着るのがおすすめです!

ご飯と飲み物は持ち込みましたが、お皿もカトラリーもカップも氷もなにもかも揃っていましたし、
お菓子はカゴにいれてくれてとっても可愛くしてくださいました!
スタッフさん1名は少し日本語を話してくれます❤︎

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters
Incredible!
Activity Date: 2024/02/15 | Posted on: 2024/02/21

I initially signed up for a turtle snorkeling tour, but it turned out to be so much more than that. It transformed into the most unforgettable whale watching adventure of our lives! We were fortunate enough to witness over 20 humpback whales just off the coast of Waikiki. It was truly a breathtaking sight.

I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for the flexibility in the itinerary. The fact that we were given the opportunity to dedicate some time to whale watching before snorkeling made the experience even more remarkable.

I wholeheartedly recommend the private Catamaran experience to anyone passing through Honolulu. The combination of the stunning natural beauty and the outstanding service provided by your team made it an unforgettable journey.

Thank you once again for creating such a memorable experience. I look forward to sharing this recommendation with friends, family, and fellow travelers.

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters
Amazing experience!
Activity Date: 2023/12/31 | Posted on: 2024/01/03

Our family of 6 was excited about snorkeling and seeing turtles. My children and husband had never been before, so this was a perfect day with a Nick taking the kids through the water. It was a personal tour of the beautiful reef. My elderly parents preferred staying on the boat, but that was excellent too as Sam filled us in on all the history about the island. I would highly recommend taking the two-hour private charter as the attention to detail and attention to guests is unmatched. They had drinks and water for us.
What are you waiting for? Book your private charter today and experience your ocean snorkel on a level above the rest.

Waikiki Fireworks & Honolulu City Lights Evening Private Boat Charter
Must Do - Only way to see the fireworks
Activity Date: 2023/12/08 | Posted on: 2023/12/13

We had a party of 6 so did private charter. Only way to do the fireworks.

Boat was perfect and the crew was fantastic. Very timely and thoughtful. Right before dusk, captain saw a whale surface and we got to see it and the flute. Appreciated him catching it.

We got lucky and they texted day of to see if we wanted to go out early for the sunset. Got message late and they still made it work. Only a minimal extra charge.

Whale, sunset and fireworks. Doesn’t get any better. Highly recommend this tour.

Waikiki Turtle Snorkeling Tour on a Private Catamaran - Hawaii Ocean Charters
Great tour, great crew, everything is perfect
Activity Date: 2023/11/27 | Posted on: 2023/12/04

The ship is comfy, they also provide drinks.
Snorkeling spot is great, saw sea turtles and of course a lot of fishes.
We were very lucky to see 4 spots of dolphins swimming just around us and jumping and spinning.
Great crew, very friendly and helpful.
We brought 2 babies (18 months) with us, they also had a great time, could tell from their face :)

Attending a private tour allowed us to set out immediately for the dolphins when spotted them. Will def. choose to do private tour again next time.

4-Hour Ohana Deluxe Waikiki Private Yacht Charter Experience with Hot Tub
Fun boat for friends!
Activity Date: 2023/06/18 | Posted on: 2023/08/25

Absolutely LOVED this trip!! We did the 11am-3pm time block and it was perfect. The inside cabin was also air-conditioned. And, yes, the hot tub was perfect too!

We brought our own snacks and drinks since we knew it was a longer 4-hour trip. Snorkel equipment was included for those of us that wanted to snorkel.

The boat was HUGE (74ft!) so we had plenty of space. We brought our own smaller speaker which was great for lounging on the bow of the boat.

Waikiki Private Snorkel & Whale Watch Tour - Hawaii Ocean Charters [Dec-Mar]
Bella esperienza!
Activity Date: 2023/02/18 | Posted on: 2023/03/11

Bella esperienza, la barca ha tutto l'essenza Ale ed è comoda per passarci un paio di ore, i due ragazzi che ci hanno portato fuori sono stati molto gentili e professionali, conoscono bene la zona è puoi chiederlo tanti consigli su cosa fare nell'isola.
Purtoppo la giornata che abbiamo scelto non è stata delle migliori.. pioveva a tratti e l'acqua era un po' torbida.. non abbiamo visto le balene.. ma vabbè avevamo già messo in conto che poteva succedere, abbiamo fatto un bagno in mezzo all'oceano e abbiamo nuotato con tanti pesci diversi e tartarughe marine. Nel complesso ne è valsa la pena, anche perché abbiamo avuto la possibilità di vedere la costa sud di Oahu da un altra prospettiva, incantevole.
Esperienza consigliata.
