Sunset sail
Reviewed by: CM, 2023/10/25Cute small sailboat! Not too windy the day we went but still good ride! They had friends on board so they stopped and let anyone swim! I was bummed I wasn’t prepared for that cause I love the water! People in charger were nice and friendly! Thank you!

Nice Sailing Sunset Trip
Reviewed by: HFI, 2023/09/08Nothing negative to say. Small sailing boat with less people. That was good because it was not crowded. Crew was funny & helpful. You can bring your own drinks and snacks.
It was a nice and relaxing trip.

Great cruise!
Reviewed by: Anne, 2023/07/01It was the perfect welcome activity for the family! The cruise was relaxing, the crew very friendly. It rained very briefly which was ok because it gave us a beautiful rainbow. We loved the magical sunset colours.
The pick up point was very accessible, right on Waikiki beach which is just walking distance from our hotel (and most hotels). Prepare to get your feet and/or legs wet when boarding and getting off but it was part of the experience! The price is also reasonable and allows you to bring drinks of your choice.
Would do it again if we’re back.

Great hosts, easy ride!
Reviewed by: Elin , 2023/03/28My husband and my two boys and I went on a sunset cruise and had a fantastic time. We got to drink our own drinks so we didn’t have the watered down stuff. They usually serve on these types of cruises. The crew was incredibly friendly. We saw a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows.

Perma-Grin !
Reviewed by: Rob from Phoenix AZ, 2023/03/23I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.

Amazing
Reviewed by: Kira, 2022/11/12This was a wonderful and beautiful experience! If you want to experience the net of the catamaran, make sure to wear a swim suit or clothes you dont mind getting wet in. Overall 10/10 experience with lovely staff and incredible views.

Sunset tour
Reviewed by: Happy Customer, 2022/09/30One of my most favorite adventures in Honolulu. Beautiful sunset, spinner dolphins, and turtles. The staff is great helped with everyone get on and off the boat., They asked it they could take photos for us. Answered all questions.
I would highly recommend.

Beautiful evening on the Mana Kai Catamaran!
Reviewed by: Alyssa , 2022/06/13It 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!

Great views!
Reviewed by: Angie, 2022/06/01The 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.

Second time and definitely coming back!
Reviewed by: CMGomez, 2022/05/02This is the second time I have been on the Mana Kai Catamaran. The first time was with family and the second time was a boys reunion trip. This low-key, good vibes sail will give you all the island spirit you need as you enjoy great times, amazing views and an awesome sailing team. Captain Kaeo and his sail mate, Andreas, made us feel relaxed and at home quickly. I highly recommend this for couples, families with older children and friends. Mahalo, Captain Kaeo and Andreas! See you and the Mana Kai soon!

Sunset cruise on Mana Kai Catamaran.
Reviewed by: Tracy, 2022/04/12Such a great time had by all during our sunset cruise! Convenient meeting location, timely departure and arrival back to shore. Amazing and accommodating captain/crew. The passengers were all very friendly. The cost was very reasonable as it is BYOB which was fine with me. Weather fabulous. We saw a whale in the distance, a rainbow and a surfing dog! All in all a fun time, highly recommend!

What a great evening!
Reviewed by: Sarah, 2022/02/15My friends and I booked this as a fun way to celebrate our first full day in Honolulu and to take an official photo to share the news of our engagement! We had a wonderful time, and the captain and the crew took great photos and had an awesome sense of humor. We were able to bring our own drinks, got a great sunset, and we even saw whales in the distance! The best part about it was that it wasn't that crowded, so we were able to move around easily and have enough space to be comfortable.
We loved it so much that we booked it again for the next night (with another friend who arrived that afternoon). I'd definitely recommend bringing a bathing suit in case you want to swim, as some people on our trip had a great time jumping in the water!
Thank you to everyone who made the trip so great!

Great Adventure!
Reviewed by: Lesleigh, 2022/02/14We had such a GREAT time! The captain and Mason were a lot of fun, very nice, and helped us all have a blast. My husband and I didn’t have a cooler bc we’re on vacation, but they had coolers iced down for anyone who needed it.
The views you see of the sunset and city are unreal. You won’t see anything like it from the beach. We really enjoyed ourselves and are thinking of doing this one more time before we head home. Worth it!

Best way to enjoy sunset in Waikiki!
Reviewed by: Wendy, 2022/02/05Sunset in Hawaii is the best, and this is one of the best way for you to enjoy the sunset. We were so lucky on that day, we saw a lot of whale. The music was good, the crew was super nice and friendly. They even offered to take the pictures for us. We loved the experience so much, and definitely we will do it again when we come back to Waikiki next time

One of the highlights of our Hawaii trip!
Reviewed by: Lindsey B. , 2022/01/30The 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.
