Kaneohe Sandbar Private Pontoon Boat Rental & Snorkel Cruise Charter

Amazing Experience

Reviewed by: ADu

This private snorkel tour was 100% worth the money. A private pontoon boat with many amenities, including snacks, drinking water, water sport toys and others were all provided. Captain Kokua could not have been friendlier and showed us a lot to see in the area. The sandbar of course was beautiful and a huge highlight of the trip.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure

A very fun boat ride and snorkel, I will take this tour again for this price

Reviewed by: Turtle

Relatively on-time schedule, and easy to find the meeting spot.
The tour was well organized with a good size of the crews and customers for the price. The boat is steady and clean, very nice to stay for 5 hours.
The captain was very experienced and he made the boat ride so fun by how he explains things, how he operates the boat, and how he interacts with the customers. He is very respectable and friendly.
The crews are also very informative! They shared so many stories of Hawaii myth, how they grew up in Kauai, and how wonderful nature is.

I am very glad that we did a boat tour to see the Napali Coast. I hiked several trails along the coast and took a flight tour as well. All the views have different looks. I loved that I could get to do snorkel with the boat tour, I swam with so many fish and turtles.

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui

Wonderful Sunset Cocktail Sail

Reviewed by: Cindy

This is our second time choosing Sea Maui Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise. A bit concerned this year due to Covid restrictions, but Sea Maui did not fail! Easy boarding/seating, the crew was SO friendly and engaging. Immediately went around getting cocktail orders from everyone. After we set sail, we enjoyed the beautiful evening on the sea, again with crew refreshing drinks if needed. They do serve appetizers and two years ago the protocol was everyone got up and got their own - this year crew distributed pre-packaged containers with all they offered, sealed until they got to us! You were welcome to request more as well. A singer was on board who played music/sang for part of the sail.

It was a beautiful night out, never once did we feel "compromised" because of Covid and yes of course out on the sea we did not have to wear masks. I highly recommend Sea Maui Sunset Cocktail cruise - the price is right, crew is fantastic and it will make a very enjoyable relaxing evening. Well worth the money.

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Dominika

One of the best experience in Maui! Me and my boyfriend had a blast relaxing and watching a sunset. The crew was amazing and chilled. You didn’t even have to leave your place because the girls were all the time checking on you if you need anything from the bar. The drinks were strong which was surprising (in a very good way). The snack was okay and the music playing absolutely the best they could choose for that kind of cruise! I recommend 100%, when I come back to Maui, definitely gonna do that again!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch

Unbelievable Experience

Reviewed by: Catalina

This half-day snorkel adventure was one to remember! Not only did we see schools of beautiful fish at each reef, we were able to swim with sea turtles at the second location. As we were leaving, pods of spinner dolphins surrounded us which was a once in a lifetime experience. The captain and her first mate were friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic sense of humor! The lunch that was provided was also outstanding! I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone!!!!

Everything was spectacular! The boat itself is wonderful. The staff was super fun, really knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The drinks were tasty, food was good, and of course, Hawaii was beautiful as always! There are tons of amazing catamaran options out there, Honu Lani is my favorite so far! Thank you!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch

Best trip we’ve ever taken on Maui!

Reviewed by: Ann T

Captain Cary and Shannon are a mighty crew of 2! Cary is a good Texas boy who has lived on Maui for many years… But that Texas hospitality shines through! The man is packed with personality, and genuinely loves his job. He and Shannon both shared so many fun facts and interesting details during our trip. They packed lunch and breakfast for everyone which were outstanding and could not have been friendlier nicer or more accommodating the entire time start to finish! When our original destination was less than ideal he explained to the passengers why it would be in our best interest to go someplace else and he was exactly right! I’ve never encountered more knowledgeable or happy go lucky and fun loving captain. The boat is small so you will have lots of time to interact with Cary and Shannon and he will get more time in the water than on any other cruise. They know where to look for all the things you want to see… You will not be disappointed. If you only book one thing on Maui book this charter!!!

Wonderful Time!

Reviewed by: Ray from St Louis

Sunset Cruise on the Sea Maui was just great. Crew was welcoming and took care of everyone. Drinks were plentiful and food was delicious. One of our group was a tad seasick, and crew tended to her and had tricks to make her feel better. Sunset was beautiful and champagne with chocolate strawberries was perfect!

We loved the whole experience of learning about Lanai, getting to see a pod of spinner dolphins, snorkeling in two locations (one that had a bunch of sea turtles), and getting great service with food and beverages throughout! Captain Kiwi and Alison were great- entertained us, taught us things, and made sure we had fun while being safe!

Private Waikiki Day Sail Charter & Oahu Boat Rental - Royal Hawaiian Catamaran

Amazing Aloha Experience

Reviewed by: Tracy

The Royal Hawaiian Catamaran boat charter is now my absolute favorite activity on Oahu. This charter will satisfy so many different goals for island experience - sailing, snorkeling, swimming, relaxing in the shade, and learning about Hawaii. One thing that sets this tour above others is their commitment to the reef and water. They don't overcrowd the boat and there is no plastic used onboard. I really appreciated the balance between hosting tourists and stewarding their natural resources. Captain Shane, Cassidy and Gio went above and beyond to make our experience one to be remembered forever. They listened to us and provided excellent options to allow us to make the most of our charter. I liked it so much that I booked my second trip for later in the year already.
