Had a good time with the turtles. The staff was awesome and the length of the trip was perfect. I started to get a little sea sick towards the end so I appreciated the 90 minute timeline.

Turtles!! We saw tons of turtles and they come right up to you and swim alongside you. The guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. My only issue was that there was two other customers who showed up about 30 minutes late and costed us about 30 minutes of our trip which was incredibly frustrating as they showed up with bags of takeout food (likely why they were late) while everyone else was respectably on time at the scheduled meet time. Even better with covid restrictions as there was only 12 people on board and it was very stress free and such a great experience! Mahalo for everything!

There was a huge storm the night before, so we were unable to swim with turtles. HOWEVER, these guys still offered to take us on a sail, even though we were the only two guests on the boat. They said, "Well, you booked it, so we still wanted to take you out on the boat." We saw several different schools of dolphins, and they were experts in steering close to them and sticking with them so we could get some regally close up videos! Music was fun, and they shared lots of interesting info with us throughout the sail. I highly recommend!

I took my family ranging from 10 years old to 30 years old. Everyone had a great experience, even the 10-year-old who was a bit fearful at first. The crew help them overcome his fear of being in the water with the turtles. Cruise right now it’s a ball, welcoming and we felt very safe like the equipment being sanitized. They offered us drinks, water soda juice whatever we like. They checked on us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and felt safe. They were very entertaining during the right and very professional and the water. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

Captain Woody and Jacob were very knowledgeable, engaging and personal. We wanted to snorkel for 1 -2 hours and did not need drinks and food, just a couple of relaxing hours in the water and sitting. This was very affordable and low key. The turtles did not disappoint us as we followed and observed several along with a multitude of fish.
The trip does not include flippers so we rented 2 pairs for 10.00 total from the Waikiki Dive Shop on Nahua St., a short walk away.

An amazing boating and snorkeling experience with an incredibly reasonable price! The crew was friendly and good-looking, the boat was beautiful, and the trip was just long enough to get a good fix of the sea without getting too cooked on the water. Plus with snorkeling gear (sans fins) and drinks!

I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!
Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.
Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!

This well-run tour took us to a place known as Turtle Canyon a few hundred meters off of Waikiki where sea turtles come to get cleaned by algae eating fish.
There were a couple of dozen of varying ages (judging by their sizes) and though touching is prohibited, it was easy to get close enough that you could have.
Sharp, amusing crew, well maintained and clean masks, snorkels, and fins provided, and cold local beer.
A great combination.

This cruise was amazing and my partners highlight of our trip. The captain was very informative and went through all the possible creatures we were likely to see. At the reef we saw a number of turtles being cleaned by the fish which was very interesting to see. As a bonus we even saw a humpback whale as we headed back to the dock. Would definitely recommend this cruise.

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.

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!
