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

We snorkeled for the first time with turtles.

Reviewed by: Judith Byrne

My friends and I were celebrating our 30th wedding anniversary in Honolulu. The turtle swim was our first activity. It met all of our expectations and then some. The three men who took out out to swim made us feel very comfortable and we saw several turtles while snorkeling. The catamaran ride was exciting and the views of the island were breathtaking. This is a must activity for anyone visiting this island.

Mana Kai Turtle Snorkel Tour

Reviewed by: Disappointed!!!

I would not recommend snorkeling with this company. The captain implied turtles would be all around us--we only saw a couple turtles after everyone was out of the water and only saw a few fish while snorkeling. Also, flotation devices were defective--they kept deflating while in the water. Lifeguard apologized for bad snorkeling spot and defective equipment. Save your money and don't snorkel here!

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

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: Logan

We enjoyed this cruise as part of our last night on Oahu. Truly one of the best sunset cruises I've ever done. We loved that we could bring our own drinks, everyone was having a great time cruising around with a very chill atmosphere and gorgeous surroundings. We even stopped to swim in the sunset for a few minutes. Loved, loved, loved this sail and would go again any time!

Waikiki Submarine Tour - Descend to 100ft, See Shipwrecks & Sunken Airplanes

Could not have been happier.

Reviewed by: Ed From PHX

We went on the Sub as a group of 4. The only thing I would suggest to for next time is have a few people on each side of the sub. There were times when they saw something on one side and the other side did not get to see it or Photograph it. If we had people on both sides we would have had photos of all the different things.

The guide was very enjoyable and made the trip a blast. He told us things about the fish and the scenes from 107 feet below we would have never known, and he made it interactive as well.

I would highly recommend this to anyone that is looking to see things below the surface and not have to worry about having a SCUBA cert or getting eaten by sharks ( like one of our group did)!

Great trip

Reviewed by: Sam

The sunset cruise was so much fun!
From the first minute there was a positive vibe on the boat and the free drinks were served faster than you could drink! ! The crew was full of energy and a party atmosphere.
It could have been less crowded, but we still had a great time! Definitely recommend!

It was so-so

Reviewed by: Jen

Booked this and they had to reschedule us three times. This hindered our vacation scheduling. The ride wasn’t very long and not much to see. It was a cool experience but very pricey for what it is.

Aloha Jen! Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed your submarine tour! However, we are very disappointed to learn you did not have an exceptional experience and that we had to reschedule your tour several times. We will share your valuable feedback with our leadership team for careful consideration. We hope to have another opportunity to welcome you aboard again in the future. Mahalo!

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

I did enjoy it but wouldn't do it again.

Reviewed by: Jessica

First they changed our tour from 8am to 2pm which I did not like because supposedly you can see more marine life in the early morning. We only got to see 1 turtle and few fish. Where they took us snorkeling wasn't too far from our departure place, when I was hoping it would be further to enjoy more of the ocean. I did enjoy the snorkeling and the tour but wouldn't do it again.

90-Min Maitai Waikiki Catamaran Sunset Cocktail Sail with Open-Bar

Such a fun cruise!

Reviewed by: Chris G

This trip to Oahu was our wedding/honeymoon trip. Other than our big day, this was out favorite part of our stay! Such a fun experience! The staff was very friendly and it was obvious they genuinely wanted you to have a great time with them! We tell everyone if there was something we could've done a second time while we were there, this cruise would have been it! The single downside to this activity is just finding where to meet, and finding parking for those not staying in the area. Maybe by the time you go, they'll have big booze cruise signs around and parking recommendations online

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

The Perfect Cruise

Reviewed by: Bray W

In Waikiki, there are a lot of tours to choose from but I think we picked the best one. I loved the fact that we had the ability to bring our own drinks and food since we had a few picky eaters in our group. Our captain(s) were very helpful and kept a lively ship. Even my dad who was apprehensive about the whole thing ended up loving it. This cruise was one of the highlights of our trip to Hawai'i.

Reviewed by: Emily

This tour was amazing!! Our two guides made us seem so welcome and they make sure you have plenty of alcohol to enjoy your time on the boat! I highly recommend wearing a swimsuit - if you want to enjoy the front of the boat with the best views you will get completely drenched, but that was our favorite part! 10/10, would do again for sure!

Best cruise yet!

Reviewed by: Awesome crew

We did a sunset cruise with another boat but we strongly preferred this one! Our crew was all girls which I thought was amazing!! Amy was great. The drinks were good and they even offered snacks for the kids that were on the boat. It was a nice morning cruise and I recommend to anyone! And they let you go on the netting on this boat, unlike another one I went on.

We booked this trip for our last full night in Waikiki, but unfortunately, it was the only cloudy day of our week.

However, that didn't stop us from having a really good time. The drinks were flowing and the crew was incredible. We had some great conversations with them and other people on the trip.

I think this tip was one of the highlights of our trip and we would definitely recommend it.
