    Captain and crew member were both so friendly and knowledgeable, and answered our many questions. She explained a lot of history of the boat we were on, and it was a pleasure to speak to her. The entire trip was spectacular, and the turtles were the icing on the cake!
    Best Trip of All!

    The crew on the catamaran were incredible!!! Made us feel welcome, safe, and like part of their family. Sailing has been a lifelong dream of mine and this cruise was great. It really was the highlight of all the tours we took in Honolulu! Thanks for such a memorable experience!
    enjoyable

    The staffs are very friendly and helpful. My sons are still small (3yrs and 5yrs), but all of us had a whale of a time! The view from the boat was absolutely breathtaking, especially Diamond head. We saw two sea turtles as well.
    Another Great Experience with Manakai

    Second time with this operator. If we come back, we'll definitely use them again: fun, laid back and entertaining! Thanks for another great experience!!
    Great inclusive one hour cruise.

    Great family hosted us for an hour long cruise. The boat was clean and spacious. The crew had great energy and was very inclusive. My husband and I felt taken care of and comfortable the entire trip. You can bring your own beverages on boat to sip on.

    Awesome experience
    Beniamin_B, Apr 2023
    It’s was awesome. We stayed on the front mesh and we got soaking wet but it was great and we saw a sting ray and a big turtle. Something worth doing, to bad it was only one hour.

    The Hawaiian Roller Coaster ride! Mahalo for joining us and glad you had fun!
    Beautiful!

    The view was so beautiful and it wasn't too crowded when we were on. We didn't get to see any sea creatures but enjoyed it nonetheless. Highly recommend!
    The ONLY catamaran we recommend 💚
    Chichi_N, Nov 2022
    The photos I took don’t do this catamaran any justice. We tried a couple of the other boat services in Waikiki and Ala Moana and this is by far our favourite. We went on the 5.00pm sunset 90min sail and it was a magical experience. This was the only boat that took us out a good distance; enough to get a spectacular view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. It also provided us with the most immersive experience and the family who run the catamaran are dedicated to providing everyone with an epic time. They played incredible music, you’re able to have your own booze and snacks & they took photos of everyone. Even though we didn’t get to see any whales, dolphins or turtles; I would 10/10 jump on this wholesome catamaran again! Thank you for making our night!
    Super Fun Time
    Julie_H, Oct 2022
    It was the first time we’ve been on a catamaran and the experience was amazing. The crew was super friendly, and the kids on the boat were quite entertaining. We even saw a sea turtle! It was windy but a lot of fun. We can’t wait to do it again!
    Great experience

    Memories of a loved one passing. We went on a last boat ride in a catamaran with his best friend by my side
    Fabulous afternoon

    Family with 10 and 15 year old girls. We loved the ride out on the ocean! We sat on the net and enjoyed the waves and getting wet. Our girls both loved it, highly recommended!! Guides were great and location was easy to find,

    The captain and crew were the best! Had a great time will go out again next trip. Would recommend this to any of my friends and family.!
    Best part of my trip
    Melanie_S, Jun 2022
    One hour seems like the right amount of time for us. You do not jump in the water and get off the catamaran on this one. Our three-year-old son loved it. The captains were very friendly! Definitely would recommend. Can’t go wrong for only $30
    Loved it
    Jamila_S, Apr 2022
    Noah and Woody were absolutely amazing. They helped my mom and sister on and off the boat and ensured their safety! The front of the boat ride was so fun being down in the water. We saw dolphins and an amazing sunset. Highly recommended.
    Sailing was an adventure!
    Angela_y, Apr 2022
    Sailing was so relaxing and refreshing I will book it again when I return. My son enjoyed it as well

    Seeing turtles, jumping in for a swim, drinking a beer hanging out on the net. We had a great time, and the shipmates were super.
