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.

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.

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.
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.

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!

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!

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!

The staff was super friendly and accommodating. It was a really fun experience. We got to see turtles and spinner dolphins! It was a great way for us to end our trip in Hawaii. It is recommended though to know swimming well if you want to snorkel as the life jackets are not buoyant enough to keep you afloat.

We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids 9yr old and 6yr old). Instructor was very patient enough to guide us how to snorkel. He provided us some tricks to make snorkeling easier for beginners. He was always there to help us out and made us feel comfortable. Except for my spouse everyone else in the group are non-swimmers, the instructor helped us navigate through the water, and to top it he took amazing videos of us while snorkeling :)

There are Red, Green, Pink, Blue, and Purple options, but due to the year-end or perhaps the impact of COVID-19, currently only Red, Pink, and Blue are available. It's a strange conversion method where instead of being valid for four consecutive days from ticket exchange, you can use four days within a one-week period. The three lines mentioned above can take you to classic tourist spots and shopping centers, so I think it's great for first-time visitors to Hawaii. The vehicle is always ventilated with the windows open, and both the driver and ticket staff were friendly and nice.
レッド・グリーン・ピンク・ブルー・パープルとありますが、年末のせいかコロナの影響か、現在使えるのはレッドとピンクとブルーのみです。不思議な換算方法で、チケット引き換えから連続4日間ではなく、1週間の期限の中で4日分使えるというシステムとのこと。上記3ラインはオーソドックスな観光地やショッピングセンターは回れるので、初ハワイの方には良いかと思います。車内は常に窓を開けて換気対策をしていますし、運転手の方やチケット担当の方はみなフレンドリーで良かったです。
Dear Maimu,
Thank you very much for using the Waikiki Trolley. Currently, due to the impact of the coronavirus, we are operating only three lines, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this may cause our customers. We hope to restore the other lines as the situation in Hawaii changes. We look forward to your next visit.

There was an instructor who spoke Japanese, and although there was only one Japanese person, I was able to have a great time. However, there are blocks in the water near the beach that are hard to see from above, so while I could stand, I bumped my legs on the way back and scraped both knees, which was painful. The shop lends long-sleeved rash guards, so my upper body was fine, but those participating in shorts need to be careful about sunburn as well.
日本語の話せるインストラクターもいらっしゃり、日本人ひとりでしたが楽しく過ごすことができました。ただ浜辺近くは上からは見えにくいブロックが海中にあるため、足は着くものの戻る際に足をぶつけて両膝とも擦りむいて痛い思いをしました。お店が長袖のラッシュガードを貸してくれるので上半身は大丈夫ですが、短パンで参加される方は日焼け対策含めて注意が必要です。

I took my daughters and one of their friends out for diving experience. Even though the instructors tried and tried to help them they couldn’t seal their mask and became sea sick. This was no fault of the dive instructors or dive company. My daughters still had a good time snorkeling.
My daughter’s friend and I dived and enjoyed the experience. Make sure you tip the instructors and captain well, it is a lot of work to make this adventure happen and they deserve it.!

From the moment you step on the pier the staff of Spirit of Aloha was upbeat and fun! We felt welcome and safe but new we were in for a good time. The drinks were simple but tasty and they didn't skimp. The food that was included could have been a little better, simple chicken breast sandwiches on rolls but you're there for a boat ride and booze! Checking in could have also been a little more organized. Overall I definitely recommend this outing on anyone's visit to the island!
A few of the families had a hard time managing their kids so one suggestion I might give to Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Sunset Cruise is hosting at least one adults only, 21+ cruise.
