Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
This was a nice boat and tour.
Reviewed by: Jean
This was a nice boat and tour. We got to see one or two sea turtles. Honestly the water was kind of murky and you don't get to see colorful fish but you do see generic silver ones. We really liked that the drinks were included though and the staff were very helpful, informative and friendly!

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!

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.

Awesome snorkeling adventure.
Reviewed by: Bheywow
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.

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Cocktail - Waikiki Rainbow Sail Catamaran
Incredible experience
Reviewed by: Mike Dirty
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.

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.

Family trip to have a wake for my father who just passed. The crew was fun and amazing. They even played a terrible Clancy Brothers song in his honor. The whole boat went silent (the Clancy Brothers are that bad). Thanks for the memories!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
Great Snorkeling Experience!
Reviewed by: John and Judy
The crew aboard the catamaran was terrific, fun and entertaining! We would recommend experiencing this snorkel excursion in the morning, as the fish and turtles seemed to be more active earlier in the day. We had snorkeled in the same vicinity a couple of days before in the afternoon, and the sea creatures seemed to be less active then.

Moana Swim with Turtles Tour - Kid's Friendly Waikiki Snorkeling Cruise
Sea Turtles AND DOLPHINS! AMAZING!
Reviewed by: Matt
Well what can I say? The team was kind and answered any and all questions we had. We were promised sea turtles and we got just that. Getting to swim atleast 1.5meters away from the turtles as the came to the surface multiple times. Being able to observe multiple sea turtles swimming around the depths and the various fish of the reef. To wrap up an already amazing and special experience, we also got a lengthy surprise visit from a family of dolphins swimming up close and personal to the catamaran as we headed back to the harbour. Like I said, what can I say?! Definitely recommended to all who are interested. 5/5

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
Pretty good, but short & crowded
Reviewed by: Laura
The staff was very friendly. We did see multiple turtles & fish. We were taken to a small area with 5 other boats so swimming in the water was like walking through Disneyland. People were kept in a very small area. They said 60 mins of swimming but it felt closer to 45 mins, maybe. If you want to see coral and explore freely, this is not the tour for you. If you want to see some turtles and fish this is a nice starting point. They offer 3 alcoholic beverages which are impossible to drink on the short return home and none are permitted prior to snorkelling. We only got this one b/c others were sold out, but if you really want those beverages be prepared to drink fast ;-). I wouldn't do this one again.

Quick snorkel trip
Reviewed by: Gziggy01
The boat was clean and the staff were friendly. We saw lots of fish and turtles. We only snorkeled for maybe 30 minutes before it was time to head back. I wish it was a little longer. Also they don’t have snorkles for people with glasses so keep in mind you may need contacts.

Amazing Experience!
Reviewed by: Taylor H
It was super windy when we went out but we actually ended up getting a private boat ride since none of the other couples showed up. The crewmembers were incredible and more than accommodating with all of our needs and with my pregnant wife. I would highly recommend choosing to go on the Moana catamaran and we are planning on going back next time we visit Hawaii!

Waikiki Snorkel with Turtles Cruise with Beers & Cocktails - Ke Kai Catamaran
It was okay!
Reviewed by: Ashley Q
The staff were really nice and the boat ride was cool. It was only 10 minute ride out to the snorkel spot and the drinks are served after the snorkeling, so there wasn't time to have advertised 3 drinks (which is fine, but jut something you should be aware of). The location itself does have sea turtles but the water is fairly deeps and the overall experience (as far as what one would expect) is pretty lack luster. Another tour operator was in the same location and they had a guide pointing out fish, turtles, etc. to ensure everyone got the opportunity to see the marine life, but this tour did not. Also, if you have your own PFD, bring it! My first PFD didn't hold air (a fun surprise) and the second one was at least 1/2 deflated by the time I got out. All in all, it was an okay time but I wouldn't do it again.
