Reviewed by: Virginia

We had never been on a sailboat before. It was a wonderful experience. The crew was welcoming and funny. At 10:00 am, we didn't partake of the free booze, but still had a great time. The ride was fun. We got a little wet. And we saw turtles.

Na Hoku Catamaran Diamond Head Happy Hour Sail with Drinks Included from Waikiki

First time but not the last.

Reviewed by: Mrwells808

So let me say I felt it was relatively easy to book the outing. Finding parking not so much. However the boat was big bright and easy to locate. Red and yellow. Price was amazing for the trip type. I enjoyed the trip out to sea. Felt like an roller coaster ride lol three in one lol. Bartenders was amazing and funny. Would have a drink with him. Hella chill vibes I was a little nervous being an amputee. But your crew put me at ease and I can't wait till the next one I hope you offer private tours. Only thing I did not want to return to shore and we spotted a turtle yay! Epic day for my first tour.

Beautiful evening on the Mana Kai Catamaran!

Reviewed by: Alyssa

It was a beautiful evening on Mana Kai Catamaran out of Waikiki beach. We liked that it was BYOB and enjoyed the music played during the sailing. Please just note that this catamaran does leave right from the beach rather than a dock so plan accordingly. We had a great time though!

This was a super fun activity! The catamaran was amazing and had lots of space despite being full. The crew was sooo attentive, you never had to ask for a refill. They were also super nice and communicative. They played awesome music, and timed the trip back with the sunset perfectly. I was with a group of about 10 and we had an amazing time!

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Loved it!

Reviewed by: Melanie

My family and I ended our 7-day Hawaii vacation by booking this sunset booze cruise for our last night and it did NOT disappoint! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. That sunset was truly stunning! The crew was extremely friendly and ensured we never had an empty beer or mai tai in our hands! One thing to keep in mind is that if waves are a bit rough it will not depart from Waikiki beach. Instead, they can change the departure to the pier, which is about a 15+ min drive from Waikiki with limited parking. To be honest I was definitely a bit disappointed about that but I forgot all about once I stepped on that catamaran and was given a Mai tai! Go ahead and book this, it's totally worth it!

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Sail Tour from Waikiki Beach - Cold Brew Coffee, Snacks & One Drink Included

It is affordable

Reviewed by: OCFD519JH

Like I said it is affordable. The kids running the boat we’re friendly an did the best they could. 22 people, some of which had not only never snorkeled, but were clearly uncomfortable in the water were too much for the crew to safely manage. I personally had to save a struggling passenger while the guy that was working the lifeguard shift was wrangling other dingdongs! Not the lifeguards fault he was just dealing with too many other folks and couldn’t get to the panicky woman fast enough. I don’t mind, I am a water rescue swimmer with my fire department but still… Her screaming for help couldn’t be heard over the clamoring of the other passengers on deck and the music playing onboard. When folks are in the water 100% attention to the swimmers is the only safe option and if you can’t hear them then the music needs to be off and eyes need to be on the swimmers. The operation was also billed as a sailing and snorkeling adventure with sailing being the key word for me. The wind was fine and other boats were sailing but our sails never went up. If you’re on a budget do it. but for 20-30 more you could do the same thing with a power boat, dolphins and turtles, food and water, and a photographer who would gladly sell you the images from the trip for a few extra dollars. In all honesty a confident swimmer could have reached turtle canyon in a easy half hour of swimming but that’s not for everyone.

For those of you who don’t swim, don’t feel comfortable in the water, or have small children that don’t swim. this is not how you spend your money. Endangering yourself or your family because “anyone can snorkel” in open water, when you’ve never done it before makes the trip that much less enjoyable for everyone including the crew. It is not their job to pay all their attention to you, and it becomes unsafe for everyone else.

Any chance to get in the water will always be awesome for me so like I said it is affordable. If it’s your best option yay!
Go for it!

Mana Kai Catamaran Day Cruise/1 pm

Reviewed by: Alex Ramirez

Jenna & The Cruise Driver we’re extremely friendly, and made the experience for our family and the rest of the riders very fun and safe. They explained to us always what to expect. They let us experience the waters of the ocean by putting our feet in as we cruised in the sailboat and listened to music. The ambiance felt great and soothing. They also took us turtle watching and got to see some beautiful huge sea turtles. We also enjoyed the splash of the waves while we sat on the net of the sailboat, my boys enjoyed that so much and it kept them refreshed! And the best part is the dip in the water, so refreshing and wonderful experience for those who wanted to take a a quick dip. I’m so thankful to Jenna as she took good care of the group, while The cruise driver was always so detailed in explaining everything we would see and do. They both went above & beyond. Best experience ever!!! Mahalo!!!!!

Perfect evening on the island!

Reviewed by: Leroy

My girlfriend and I were visiting Oahu for her birthday and we did the catamaran cruise on our first night on the island - such an amazing way to start our trip. The crew was friendly, high-energy, played great music to dance to, and they kept the drinks going the whole cruise. Also, met a lot of cool people that were also visiting. PROTIP: BOOK THE LAST CRUISE OF THE DAY TO CATCH THE SUNSET! (Make sure it's clear or partly cloudy skies though) Can't recommend this cruise enough!

サンセットセーリング マイタイ・カタマラン号 ビールやシャンパン、カクテルなどオープンバーで飲み放題!金曜日限定の花火観賞プランあり<シェラトン・ワイキキ発>

Sunset sailing while watching the sunset. 夕陽を見ながらサンセットセーリング

Reviewed by: 旅太郎

Since we were off the coast of Waikiki, the sunset over the ocean was very beautiful. However, it was a bit disappointing because there were many clouds that evening. The boat sways quite a bit, so I think it's a good idea for those worried about seasickness to take some motion sickness medication in advance. Along the way, dolphins came close to the boat, and we were able to see them from on board.

ワイキキ沖ということもあり、海の上から見る夕日はとても綺麗でした。しかし、ツアーの日の夕方は雲が多かったので少し残念でした。船はけっこう揺れるので、船酔いが心配な方は予め酔い止めを飲んでおくと安心だと思います。途中でイルカが船の近くまで来てくれて、船の上から見る事ができました。

The catamaran was a great way to see Honolulu and you can’t beat BYOB! You do have to go into the ocean (ankle to knee height water avoiding waves) so be sure to wear shorts or quick drying clothes.

90-Min Waikiki Beach Sunset Cocktail Sail Cruise with FREE Drinks Included - Ke Kai Catamaran

Average booze cruise

Reviewed by: Nic

This booze cruise was mediocre. We watched them struggle on several trips to get the catamaran out on the ocean, not at the fault of the staff, but seemingly due to the tropical weather. Other cruises didn’t seem to have this issue so we always wondered why this catamaran did. The crew serving drinks worked hard to make sure everyone always had a drink in their hand. They serve “Mai Tais” that looked and tasted more like a cheap margarita or Corona Extras. The sunset was beautiful and in the end, we felt we got what we paid for. Would not recommend this cruise for children.

1-Hour Hawaii Glass Bottom Boat Tour - Waikiki Morning & Afternoon Marine Life Cruise

Great boat trip

Reviewed by: Kerrie Duffy

Very reasonable priced glass bottom boat trip with a knowledgeable captain who told
great stories on the history of the area. His lovely wife even took a family photo for us with diamond head in the background.
We saw dolphins, turtles and lots of colourful fish.
The boat was clean and sanitised before we boarded. Free Water was provided and a toilet onboard.
Only negative is that It would have been wonderful if able to to go below deck to view under or From side viewing panels instead of Viewing down from the top.
I would recommend this trip for the views and experiences.
