So many turtles!!
Reviewed by: Dawn and Jim, 2021/11/18Our guide got in water and spotted turtles and shared a lot of interesting information. We saw so many Turtles and close up. I got to hold a sea urchin. We also saw probably 4 species of fish, pretty. Staff, so friendly and fun, and kept the drinks coming.

Down and dirty
Reviewed by: Cali sunny, 2021/11/11Water was super choppy which was not their fault. Captain Junior was kind of a jerk. He was preoccupied with his phone and his smokes. While we road out to the spot, the intro was more about tips and rules than about the snorkel experience. I ended up tipping half of what I planned to tip prior to the trip. I would have liked a little more instruction on how to use the snorkel gear. I was told "it's pretty self explanatory." Bella was the life guard and pulled the anchor. She was a badass. Only had about 45 mins in the water and no time to enjoy "free drinks." Would only recommend if you know how to swim, snorkel, can pound drinks and are only looking for a cheap ride out to sea.♀️

Snorkeling w/ Sea Turtles
Reviewed by: iLo823, 2021/11/01Super fun experience! Crew was great. Saw 3 sea turtles (or the same one 3 times....who knows). The last one literally swam right up to me, which was awesome. Next time will rent an underwater camera so I can get some photos too.

Best experience
Reviewed by: The k , 2021/10/28I really liked the turtle snorkel excursion. We went out short boat ride to the snorkel site. The equipment was excellent everything fit right. The snorkel experience was amazing. I actually saw five sea turtles. They are so neat. I was able to take pictures with my underwater camera. It was abs big. The hides were very nice abs I was able ti get a Diet Coke.

Great time
Reviewed by: Jason B, 2021/10/28Family went out with an experienced staff in locating the turtles. Great experience snorkeling with large turtles. Drinks were included and I thought maybe one per guest, but I was able to have 3.

A fun experience
Reviewed by: Barry, 2021/10/22Very convenient as we stayed at the Outrigger, a stones throw from where we boarded the vessel. Crew was very friendly and that always helps. Confused about flippers. Posting on web site said they are not provided by yet they were given out on the ship. I’m glad, made snorkeling a lo easier. Turtles were fun to watch. Only wish we saw more of the reef. Had a very good time.

An amazing afternoon on the Manu Kai catamaran
Reviewed by: Birthday Chris, 2021/09/30The crew were excellent on our trip for my birthday on 28 September 2021. The snorkeling was very well managed by the team. The entertainment was first class. Just wish I had made a note of their names on the 12.30pm trip. Thanks.

Beautiful Experience
Reviewed by: Crystal, 2021/09/18Wow! This cruise was fantastic! We were able to see so many sea turtles up close and personal. I had to actively maintain my distance because they were so friendly and seemed completely unaffected by humans.

Catamaran boat out to snorkel with sea turtles.
Reviewed by: liz, 2021/09/14The crew was friendly and talkative. We had never been snorkeling and they made it easy and comfortable. The area where we went there are multiple boats and people, that is not a poor reflection on this tour, but we didn't realize so many people would be in the same place. We did see turtles!! and fish and the reef. They take little time going back so you can get pictures with the view.

Well, when you can't find parking...
Reviewed by: Dee, 2021/09/14A waste of money because we looked for parking for over 1/2 an hour and missed our check-in time on the boat.

NOT WORTH IT !
Reviewed by: Coraline G., 2021/09/03Not worth it !
The boat ride was very rough, we barely had 15 minutes in the water. The water was really blur and we saw almost nothing.
Unfortunately the drink were not good as well, the mai tai was only ice and juice … not recommended!

Amazing snorkeling experience!
Reviewed by: Emily , 2021/08/28We saw lots of turtles on this trip. The staff was great and welcoming to our young kiddos (4, 6, and 7yrs old). We enjoyed the drinks after snorkeling and would do it again. We saw tons of turtles ans tropical fish the whole time we were snorkeling. I would definitely recommend them to anyone going to Waikiki.

Great Experience, great crew!
Reviewed by: Jflo01, 2021/08/28We had a great time with the Manu Kai crew! Our snorkeling adventure was fun and exciting, the process was easy and carefree. We got to see about 4-6 turtles at turtle canyon also tons of fish and had plenty of time to snorkel. The crew is very knowledgeable and accommodating, offering drinks and taking pictures, they also are very concerned with safety and we always felt safe aboard the boat. Overall just an awesome experience! Thank you Manu Kai!

Go. See turtles
Reviewed by: K. K, 2021/08/27Picked up right on the beach. We drove in from north shore and parked in the garage across the street. The boat ride was 10ish minutes to the canyon. Had at least a full hour in the water. There were 7 or 8 turtles right there the whole time. Tons of fish. A few minutes after we got there a few other tours showed up and there were a lot more people but still enough space for all tours. The crew was awesome. This was the best tour we booked this week.

Staff (Jay Jay) was taking an inappropriate video
Reviewed by: Andree, 2021/08/23We were having a great time on vacation and were looking forward to snorkeling and enjoying some drinks. The staff (specifically jay jay and Noah) were being very unprofessional. They weren’t treating us as if we were paying customers. At first we tried to excuse it as they were being goofy. Then we heard Noah say, “there’s jay jay back at it again,” and he had his phone out recording a video directed towards my girlfriends butt as she was trying to snorkel. This immediately made us feel uncomfortable. We confronted jay jay about it afterwards and he said he was filming Noah but that obviously felt like a lie. This unprofessional behavior brought a burden and discomfort to our vacation. We ended up not drinking as we both felt uncomfortable. We would like to be refunded.

Turtles, Mai Tais, Catamaran ride, perfect outing
Reviewed by: LauraK, 2021/08/15This was such a great tour! The catamaran ride is fun, the crew were professional and friendly, the snorkeling spot was perfect. All equipment was provided as well as instructions on where to snorkel and where to safely stay in view of the spotters. Saw 5 turtles hangin out on the reef and multiple schools of fish. Just off shore of Waikiki beach yet in open water 40ft deep. Great water clarity and lots of marine life to look at. On the ride back Mai Tais, beer or water are available and the captain rocked some reggae for the ride back to shore. Would definitely do this one again. Be sure to generously tip the crew they deserve it!

Great snorkel trip
Reviewed by: Muevetucucu, 2021/08/15We were a party of 7 (4 adults 3 kids) and all of us had a great time. They were on time and the crew was fantastic. They explained safety rules with a bit of humor and made it fun. They swam with us and guided us and pointed out fishes and turtles for us to see. Equipment was acceptable. We had our own snorkel gear, we only borrowed their life vests.

Great budget-friendly excursion on Oahu!
Reviewed by: Gina, 2021/08/11This was such a great excursion for my parents and I. It was beginner friendly and the crew is super nice, informative, and welcoming! The turtles were awesome to see up close and the drinks (!!) were a great bonus. Would definitely recommend them to any visitors who haven't gotten a chance to see the wildlife of the island.
