Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure
Really great tour, incredible views and a wonderful captain and crew.
Reviewed by: Andrew, 2024/04/24The Na Pali coast tour was amazing, the views were incredible and the captain and crew were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and skilled in maneuvering the boat into sea caves and along the coast.
We went with the family, including two kids (5 &7 yo) and everyone loved the tour.
The snorkeling was also a highlight and the crew had all the gear to make it safe and fun.
Our lunch was also very yummy!
And as a bonus we saw some dolphins that jumped and flipped out of the water for us, and also a sea turtle.
We could not think of anything that could have been better.

Budget-Friendly Waikiki Sunset Sail & BYOB Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
Awesome tour!
Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24This was my second time on the Mana Kai Catamaran. First time was doing the sea turtle snorkeling tour. It was fun being able to watch the sunset and see Diamond Head and the city from the ocean. The staff were very friendly and amazing. Was also fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the water! I definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran
Awesome tour!!
Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24This was a very cool tour! This was my friends and I first time visiting Hawaii and this tour made it very memorable for us! It was a lot of fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the waves. The staff was super friendly and amazing. We got to see sea turtles and other marine life. Only downside is that there are other tour boats in the same location. So there's about a hundred people snorkeling in the water and it gets crowded super fast. People bumping and pushing each other or kicking each other in the water. Kinda felt like the scene in titanic lol. Other than that, it was a very cool tour! I'll definitely do it again when I plan my next trip!
I also recomend you bring a GoPro camera to take videos and photos.

Fun experience
Reviewed by: Heather H. , 2024/04/24We enjoyed the sunset cruise even with a not great sunset (it was cloudy and little rainy). The crew was fun and we had fun getting to know the others on the boat with us. Definitely recommend this sunset cruise.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation
Well-thought out itinerary and extremely acommodating!
Reviewed by: Nicole C, 2024/04/24What I LOVED:
- Available bins to store your items once on their boat [useful as a family member nearly dropped their phone overboard within seconds of sitting down]
- Included spam musubi and soft drinks
- PRESCRIPTION/Rx snorkeling gear [lifesaver as contacts are not an option while swimming and this is an amazing option that I never knew existed]
- Charismatic and protective crew [they keep the mood light and ensure you are well taken care of]
What I could change:
- Weather [though out of their control a lil extra sun wouldn't have hurt outside of a potentially bad sunburn]
Would I recommend this to others? Absolutely! I have already shared my positive experience with my extended family.

Waikiki Swim with Turtles Tour - Moana Catamaran Best Honolulu Snorkeling Cruise
Once in a lifetime experience
Reviewed by: Katherine, 2024/04/22We booked a family snorkeling with turtles experience on the Moana Catamaran, and the crew ensured that we had an exceptional experience. Anthony, the captain, was personable and informative. He was happy to answer a LOT of questions, and provided insight into Hawaiian culture throughout the experience. When it came time to enter the water, Claire was an outstanding guide. She ensured that the kids (10 & 12) felt confident with the unfamiliar snorkeling equipment, and took the time to locate and identify a variety of sea life. The crew made this a memorable experience for our entire family, and we highly recommend this experience for visitors to Oahu.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & Private Speed Boat Rental
Excellent choice
Reviewed by: T. Le, 2024/04/22My family and I (2 adults, 2 children) had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef area with our captain/tour guide. We learned a lot about the history of the sandbar as well as got to enjoy the water and sandbar area. We got lucky with the weather since it rained earlier in the day. The provided snacks and musubis were excellent. We were sad when it ended, but brought back many memories.
Thank you so much for joining our tour and taking the time to write such a fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that your family, including your children, had a great time exploring the sandbar and reef with us. We love sharing our knowledge of Hawaii waters, and we're glad you enjoyed learning about the sandbar.
We're happy the provided snacks and musubis were a hit :)
We're so grateful that we could be a part of your wonderful memories, and we hope to welcome you on board again soon! A hui hou!

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran
Excellent Snorkel experience
Reviewed by: A Mercer, 2024/04/20The staff was friendly, helpful and professional. The trip was wonderful and there are many providers available, and the value for service on this trip was excellent. They were punctual, the equipment was in good condition. Turtle Canyon has turtles, but lots of other tour boats. They were very situationally aware which kept us safe. We also got some bonus dolphin activity on the way out and back. Two thumbs up.

Budget-Friendly Waikiki Sunset Sail & BYOB Cruise - Mana Kai Catamaran
Whale watching tour
Reviewed by: Rebecca Mominee, 2024/04/20We took this vessel out to watch whales. The staff were awesome. Provided a lot of great information of life as a whale. The water was a bit choppy so there was a bit of rocking. After we disembarked, the Captain spent a good 10-15 minutes out of his busy schedule to talk with us.
I highly recommend the tour!

Captain Bob's Kaneohe Sandbar Snorkel & BBQ Lunch with Free Transportation
Such a fun day!
Reviewed by: Jen F., 2024/04/13 This was by far the best cruise excursion I have ever participated in, and I’ve done quite a few on Oahu.
Pickup was well organized and on time. The ride out to the boat was pleasant.
The crew in itself felt like family. They were the nicest people, very welcoming and knowledgeable.
Captain even jumped in the water with the kids and everyone went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Bbq lunch was great.
We saw manta rays and turtles that came right up to the boat,it was a really wonderful day and I can’t tell them thank you enough.
I will absolutely book this again next time we visit.

Waikiki's Most Affordable Turtle Snorkel Boat Tour - Mana Kai Catamaran
Friendly crew and so much marine life
Reviewed by: Andrea, 2024/04/12The snorkeling was such a blast we saw several turtles and a ton of fish. The crew were such a pleasure to be around every one of them was nice, knowledgeable and friendly. The boat was small but that was the best part because then we had a much more intimate experience and were able to feel comfortable with our crew(not hard they were all so nice). We were out for over an hour but could hang out on the boat and reenter the water whenever we felt like. The boat had a nylon strap front you could sit on and get wet which we did on our way back to shore after the snorkeling. It was a great relaxing and fun time. Definitely would recommend this company because the price is great, the crew was amazing and the trip was not overly packed.

Captain Bruce Kaneohe Sandbar Cruise with SUP, Guided Snorkel & Transportation
10/10 experience
Reviewed by: Joseph, 2024/04/11Had an amazing time with Captain Bruce on the Kaneohe sand bar cruise! From the get-go, Jeff, Josiah, and Karen were super kind and welcoming, making sure everyone on board felt at ease. They had snacks and drinks ready for us, which was a nice touch.
One of the highlights for me was definitely swimming with the turtles. It’s not every day you get to do that! And I’ve got to give a special shoutout to Karen. She was a real star, especially with my mom who's a bit uneasy in the water. Karen made sure she felt safe and enjoyed her snorkeling experience. Plus, the way she helped us retrieve my dad's forgotten sunglasses turned into a hilarious moment we all shared.
This trip is a must-do for families looking for a fun and memorable day out on the water. I’m already looking forward to my next trip with them. Absolutely a 10/10 recommendation!
Aloha Joseph, thank you so much for choosing Captain Bruce for your family trip, and for sharing this review! We appreciate your recognition of Jeff, Josiah, and Karen. Their attentiveness and welcoming demeanor are hallmarks of our exceptional crew, and we are grateful for their dedication to ensuring every guest feels comfortable and enjoys their time on the water. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to everyone, especially Karen!
Again, thank you so much for recommending our tour.
We look forward to welcoming you back aboard for another exceptional adventure in the future. A hui hou

Amazing crew makes unforgettable trip!!!!
Reviewed by: Sushanti, 2024/03/30From beginning to end the crew made everything easy, relaxing, fun and super special!!!! They were excellent with giving instructions and support to make us feel confident and comfortable in the water. The special attention to my 8yo daughter was above and beyond! We saw lots of turtles and beautiful fish. Kainoa even took my daughter around on the surf board and back to the boat when she needed a break so I could keep swimming! I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! We want to do it again!!!!
