Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Most awesome experience ever!

Reviewed by: Trose

This was money well spent. The crew was very nice and sent emails for confirmation reminders and directions. They were very knowledgeable and gave a ton of information about rays through the evening. While I would love to have stayed in the water a bit longer it was a good amount of time to watch the rays swimming around. Plus it started to get a bit cold since you are not actually swimming.

  • This girl did 5 loop-to-loops right in front of us! AWESOME!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Excellent!

Reviewed by: Jeannie R.

With a professional, friendly staff, our snorkel tour was excellent! We were promptly greeted and got on board. The staff offered us water or soft drinks as we waited for the rest of the passengers to board. There was nice seating all around, and you can bring along a bag with your towel, phone, whatever. They gave us plenty of directions and offered us snorkel gear, but we brought our own that we had rented. They also provide inflatable life vests. While we were snorkeling, they kept a sharp eye on us, ready to help with any mask issues or otherwise. There were lifeguards both in the water and on deck, but it was easy swimming. The turtles were all around, with colorful fish as well. We snorkeled for maybe an hour, then got back on board - the mai tais hit the spot after having salt water in your mouth! I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend. In fact, my daughter was wishing I had booked two tours while we were in Hawaii!

Big Island Whale Watching Cruise from Waikoloa - Hawaii Nautical [Dec-Mar]

So nice to be on the water

Reviewed by: Shauna

This is a wonderful catamaran! We didn't see any whales this trip but I love being on the ocean so I didn't care. As a bonus if there are not any whales you can go back for another trip. I recommend this to anyone going to The Big Island.

2.5-Hour Sea Maui Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar from Kaanapali Beach

Catamaran cruise

Reviewed by: Gina A

Overall the sunset cruise was a good experience. Really awesome staff. Open bar was pretty fun and they always try to keep your drink full. Food was average and was still a little hungry after. Breath taking sunset though. It was also a sand dock so we had to walk through the water to get on the boat. That was not advertised. Wading in water up to knees. Older folks might struggle. My client was also in slacks which was not ideal if we knew that going in but I as ok.
Walking through the water wasn’t bad if you knew that it was coming It would have been great to be advised to dress in shorts and flip-flops.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides

Loved the shark adventure and specially the service provided by Justin and the captain. They were so supportive and helpful.

Reviewed by: Deepti

Loved the shark adventure and specially the service provided by Justin and the captain. They were so supportive and helpful.
A day before we got the message with parking instructions, which really helped us specially when you are new to area. We took a wrong turn and was running late however Justin was too supportive, she was continuously with us over the phone to guide us the route and made sure we reached on time. Thanks to Captain as well who waited for us.
Now coming to actual shark adventure: It was really fun, amount of time in a cage was ample. My 10 years old also enjoyed it. There were lot sharks around the cage. Also while coming back we saw lot of Dolphins and Captain gave us sufficient time to clicks photos as well.

Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour with Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Worth every dollar!

Reviewed by: FAA

This experience was worth it all! The crew was great and they took really good care of you! They pointed out the sea turtles and told us where to go so we can find them! They always made sure everyone was doing okay and if we needed anything, they would go out of their way to make sure we’re having a great time. We purchased their “special” drink and it was delicious. The boat itself is very clean as . The crew is very funny and will make your trip worth it. I can’t wait to book my next adventure with them.

Haleiwa Shark Tours - Best Shark Cage Diving in Hawaii with Local Expert Guides

Fantastic experience.

Reviewed by: Emily

We had an amazing time. We got 20 minutes in the cage with a total of 6 people, and 12 people on the boat. We saw dozens of Galapagos sharks that came right up to the cage. I felt completely safe inside the cage while still feeling connected to the sharks. Both Erin and Alexis were helpful and knowledgeable. They did their best to make sure we had a fantastic time. They even stopped on the way back so we could enjoy watching the dolphins. I 100% recommend this shark tour. Just be weary that it was very rough in the cage so maybe not ideal for those not comfortable in the water.

Big Island Manta Ray Night Snorkel Tour Adventure on a Hawaiian Sailing Canoe

Exhilarating Experience

Reviewed by: Ashley M.

So amazing!!
Amount of time was perfect!
I'm not a person who gets seasick but I did in the water after laying horizontally with the waves for so long.

Saw so many manta rays.. at least four. They came close many times. Enough to record and to turn off your camera and just live in the experience.

Would recommend to anyone!

I liked this company because it's a small group and you get to ride a canoe.

The guide in the water was very nice and gave lots of information about the mantas. Small enough group that even though I was on the very end, I could hear him.

So cool! 5 stars from me!

Super fun quick snorkel. The crew and captain were awesome and funny. My kids loved as did I. Met a few “regulars” which I have never encountered on a snorkeling adventure in the past, which says a lot. I’ll make sure to leverage this on trips in the future. Namaste.

What an amazing experience we had swimming with turtles. Captain even took us out to see some whales before we hit turtle canyon. We had kids with us and it was perfect for them, wasn’t too long and they didn’t get bored. Crew was knowledgeable and very helpful. They had all the equipment on board and were even playing some tunes for us. 10/10 would do it again.

Unique adventure

My wife and daughter enjoyed the experience. I did as well but swallowed too much salt water during open swim and got sick off the side of the boat. The crew was very professional in dealing with me. I did get to enjoy feeding the fish before my unfortunate sickness. I would definitely recommend this adventure. It is a very unique experience!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran

Excellent service and Breath-taking views

Reviewed by: Shawn

The Manu Kai Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise was all it promised to be. The crew was professional and very helpful. We were treated to a nice boat ride to Turtle Canyon and once in the water we saw several sea turtles calmly swimming along as smaller fish cleaned their shells and fins. There were several species of fish swimming in small schools that we could photograph as well.
The crew was very helpful and taught a basic course in snorkeling that enabled everyone to enjoy the experience to the fullest.
The boat itself is well maintained, clean, and provided a restroom for passengers.
The beverages were served cold (after the snorkel to avoid any intoxication issues while swimming.)
I would recommend this cruise to anyone interested in seeing the majesty of Hawaii's underwater environment and thrill seekers who love ocean adventures. The crew promised turtles and we were treated to a promise fulfilled.

Thoroughly enjoyed that experience and will definitely do it again. Have told everyone that they have to give it a try.
