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!

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Best experience of my life!

Reviewed by: Natasha

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.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Amazing snorkeling experience!

Reviewed by: Emily

We saw lots of turtles on this trip. The staff was great and welcoming to our young kiddos (4, 6, and 7yrs old). We enjoyed the drinks after snorkeling and would do it again. We saw tons of turtles ans tropical fish the whole time we were snorkeling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone going to Waikiki.

Great Experience, great crew!

Reviewed by: Jflo01

We had a great time with the Manu Kai crew! Our snorkeling adventure was fun and exciting, the process was easy and carefree. We got to see about 4-6 turtles at turtle canyon also tons of fish and had plenty of time to snorkel. The crew is very knowledgeable and accommodating, offering drinks and taking pictures, they also are very concerned with safety and we always felt safe aboard the boat. Overall just an awesome experience! Thank you Manu Kai!

Spirit of Aloha Waikiki Morning Adventure Sail from Hilton Pier

Bumpy Ride

Reviewed by: Alissa

The sail itself was very windy and bumpy for most of the trip. You definitely had to hold on to the rail or be sitting. There were even a few times the people in the front caught a wave and got pretty wet. With that being said you are in a boat in the ocean so this was expected. It did however make it difficult to take advantage of the drinks offered ;). Overall the sail was fun :) and the best parts were the views and the staff was awesome.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Go. See turtles

Reviewed by: K. K

Picked up right on the beach. We drove in from north shore and parked in the garage across the street. The boat ride was 10ish minutes to the canyon. Had at least a full hour in the water. There were 7 or 8 turtles right there the whole time. Tons of fish. A few minutes after we got there a few other tours showed up and there were a lot more people but still enough space for all tours. The crew was awesome. This was the best tour we booked this week.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Staff (Jay Jay) was taking an inappropriate video

Reviewed by: Andree

We were having a great time on vacation and were looking forward to snorkeling and enjoying some drinks. The staff (specifically jay jay and Noah) were being very unprofessional. They weren’t treating us as if we were paying customers. At first we tried to excuse it as they were being goofy. Then we heard Noah say, “there’s jay jay back at it again,” and he had his phone out recording a video directed towards my girlfriends butt as she was trying to snorkel. This immediately made us feel uncomfortable. We confronted jay jay about it afterwards and he said he was filming Noah but that obviously felt like a lie. This unprofessional behavior brought a burden and discomfort to our vacation. We ended up not drinking as we both felt uncomfortable. We would like to be refunded.

Hilton Port Waikiki Sunset Cruise with Cocktails & Appetizers - Spirit of Aloha

Superb even for solo

Reviewed by: Chris C

I booked this cruise while staying in Waikiki on a solo trip. The staff and captain are personable and efficient and the catamaran is modern and roomy. We cruised along the coast towards Diamond Head crater and then put the sails up for a jaunty ride in the open sea for about 10 minutes. Captain turned the boat around to enjoy picturesque sunset views and some cool tunes while sipping on the crew members own recipe Turtle Tini. There were a mix of couples and multi generational families and the staff was accommodating to everyone’s needs, even those who were a little green in the gills from sea sickness. Highly recommended, even if you’re by yourself!

90-Minute Waikiki Beach Sunset Sail & Cocktail Cruise - Hawea Rainbow Catamaran

AMAZING EXPERIENCE

Reviewed by: Alysha Berres

Wonderful experience! I have done this cruise twice, and both times I had a blast. I think it’s the most fun booze cruise there is in Waikīkī! It’s cost effective, and perfect for a group where some people want to drink and some don’t since it’s BYOB. You get to see the beautiful sunset and they let you swim for a few minutes if desired. The music is great, and you can even request songs.

Great experience!

Reviewed by: Ben

The crew really knew what they were doing. We sailed out toward diamond head and some dolphins swam along, then we sailed back into the sunset. They kept our drinks full and the mai tais were really good. Just be careful because the alcohol doesn't hit as hard when you're on the ocean, but will when you get off.

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Turtles, Mai Tais, Catamaran ride, perfect outing

Reviewed by: LauraK

This was such a great tour! The catamaran ride is fun, the crew were professional and friendly, the snorkeling spot was perfect. All equipment was provided as well as instructions on where to snorkel and where to safely stay in view of the spotters. Saw 5 turtles hangin out on the reef and multiple schools of fish. Just off shore of Waikiki beach yet in open water 40ft deep. Great water clarity and lots of marine life to look at. On the ride back Mai Tais, beer or water are available and the captain rocked some reggae for the ride back to shore. Would definitely do this one again. Be sure to generously tip the crew they deserve it!

Great snorkel trip

Reviewed by: Muevetucucu

We were a party of 7 (4 adults 3 kids) and all of us had a great time. They were on time and the crew was fantastic. They explained safety rules with a bit of humor and made it fun. They swam with us and guided us and pointed out fishes and turtles for us to see. Equipment was acceptable. We had our own snorkel gear, we only borrowed their life vests.

Hilton Waikiki Beach Front Luau & Fireworks Show - Friday Night Exclusive!

It's more for the experience

Reviewed by: Alissa

We got the premium tickets and actually got sat front and center which was great for our kids (4, 6 & 8). That also meant though that one side of the table was blinded by the sun for the first part of the show until the sun dipped below the trees (small price to pay for front and center). We didn't realize that with the premium tickets even the kids got extra drink tickets that could be used for juice or alcohol. My kids were never going to drink that many juices so we used them to get a few extra Mai Tai for us...but word of advice if you wait for the server to get the drinks you will never be able to get through your tickets because they are split between so many tables so grab them from the bar yourself. The show was great my kids especially liked the fire dancers. The food was just ok but we expected that as it's hard to serve that many individual plates at once. The only thing my kids would eat was the shredded pork and fruit so if you have kids who are picky eaters make sure they eat a little something before hand.
