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

Snorkeling in waikiki

Reviewed by: Amanda

This was an amazing tour the guides were amazingly friendly and informative! The only down side for me was there were a lot of people in the water which made it difficult to really float and see the marine life. But it was mid day and it was a tourist trip. My daughter loves sea turtles so for her this was a dream! I would do it again but maybe earlier in the morning! Thanks again for a wonderful trip!

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Cocktail - Waikiki Rainbow Sail Catamaran

Excellent Experience

Reviewed by: Susie

Would definitely recommend this experience. Because of COVID, our group of 13 were the only people on the boat and once everyone was done snorkeling, they took us out to sail by Diamond Head. So even though I didn't get in the water, I enjoyed the time spent sailing. The rest of the group that went snorkeling, said it was amazing - wish I would have gone snorkeling. Maybe next time!

We arrived for our 2:00 reservation at 1:30, and the staff was very kind in letting us know that we could board soon. We boarded the catamaran and set sail for the sea exactly as scheduled. The staff were very informative l, funny, and helpful during the entire time. We got to swim with 1 sea turtle (: overall very satisfied with my experience! Thanks again!

Great group of guys to bring you on a fun trip sightseeing the life of green turtles just off the coast. No need to scuba dive nor drag out this experience to 21/2hrs. Perfect length trip for this type experience, we recommend it.

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

Great experience! Only issue is other customers..

Reviewed by: Mcs

Turtles!! We saw tons of turtles and they come right up to you and swim alongside you. The guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. My only issue was that there was two other customers who showed up about 30 minutes late and costed us about 30 minutes of our trip which was incredibly frustrating as they showed up with bags of takeout food (likely why they were late) while everyone else was respectably on time at the scheduled meet time. Even better with covid restrictions as there was only 12 people on board and it was very stress free and such a great experience! Mahalo for everything!

Awesome trip!

Reviewed by: Scott

There was a huge storm the night before, so we were unable to swim with turtles. HOWEVER, these guys still offered to take us on a sail, even though we were the only two guests on the boat. They said, "Well, you booked it, so we still wanted to take you out on the boat." We saw several different schools of dolphins, and they were experts in steering close to them and sticking with them so we could get some regally close up videos! Music was fun, and they shared lots of interesting info with us throughout the sail. I highly recommend!

We had a great time!! Fun Crew

Reviewed by: Pamela C

I took my family ranging from 10 years old to 30 years old. Everyone had a great experience, even the 10-year-old who was a bit fearful at first. The crew help them overcome his fear of being in the water with the turtles. Cruise right now it’s a ball, welcoming and we felt very safe like the equipment being sanitized. They offered us drinks, water soda juice whatever we like. They checked on us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and felt safe. They were very entertaining during the right and very professional and the water. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

2.5-Hour Turtle Snorkel Tour with One Cocktail - Waikiki Rainbow Sail Catamaran

Good Break from the Crowds at Waikiki

Reviewed by: Ohio Couple

Captain Woody and Jacob were very knowledgeable, engaging and personal. We wanted to snorkel for 1 -2 hours and did not need drinks and food, just a couple of relaxing hours in the water and sitting. This was very affordable and low key. The turtles did not disappoint us as we followed and observed several along with a multitude of fish.

The trip does not include flippers so we rented 2 pairs for 10.00 total from the Waikiki Dive Shop on Nahua St., a short walk away.

An amazing boating and snorkeling experience with an incredibly reasonable price! The crew was friendly and good-looking, the boat was beautiful, and the trip was just long enough to get a good fix of the sea without getting too cooked on the water. Plus with snorkeling gear (sans fins) and drinks!

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

Up close and personal with sea turtles

Reviewed by: Stan Flouride

This well-run tour took us to a place known as Turtle Canyon a few hundred meters off of Waikiki where sea turtles come to get cleaned by algae eating fish.
There were a couple of dozen of varying ages (judging by their sizes) and though touching is prohibited, it was easy to get close enough that you could have.
Sharp, amusing crew, well maintained and clean masks, snorkels, and fins provided, and cold local beer.
A great combination.

Turtle Canyon Snorkel Cruise from Ala Wai Harbor - Pink Sails Waikiki

Amazing trip joining the turtles at their day spa

Reviewed by: Anthony

This cruise was amazing and my partners highlight of our trip. The captain was very informative and went through all the possible creatures we were likely to see. At the reef we saw a number of turtles being cleaned by the fish which was very interesting to see. As a bonus we even saw a humpback whale as we headed back to the dock. Would definitely recommend this cruise.

We are happy to see you had an amazing time.
We love being able to entertain you and show you the beauty of the ocean.
There's nothing better than memories that'll last a lifetime!!

Reviewed by: Andres

It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).

The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.

Must DO in Waikiki!!!!!

Reviewed by: Joe & Melly

I highly recommend this activity if your staying at the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Waikiki.

It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

Great adventure

Reviewed by: Laura L.

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.

The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

Something fun and different! We saw about 5 turtles at the canyon and several on the ride out there. Recommend; the crew was so nice and easy going! My kids had a blast. Thank you Mana Kai!

Reviewed by: Kate

We had a great time on the tour. The boat was easy to find. We signed a waiver and picked a spot to sit until it was time to leave. The crew were friendly and told us where to sit if we want a splash (my kids did) and where to stay dry. They even kept our bag somewhere safe from the waves. My kids loved laying on the net and riding out to turtle canyon. We were one of the first boats out there. They went over some simple instructions and handed out snorkeling equipment. I liked the life vests they used-it was an aqua lung type instead of a basic life jacket so you could choose how much air to have. I had brought a life jacket for my toddler and 5yr old, but they also had life vests for some other kids on our tour.

I had a 10, 5, and 22mo old with me. The crew was helpful handing out stuff and trying to find a mask to fit my 5yr old. She is actually a pretty good snorkel-er but unfortunately it was hard finding a mask and snorkel that fit her. They kept filling with water. I wish I had known and I would have brought hers. If you have a set you like-my tip is to bring it. They did not provide fins either which was ok but I can get my kids and I around easier with fins. The masks and snorkels were pretty basic. Mine fogged up every couple minutes but luckily I am experienced and can clear it. That’s the only draw-back about the trip is I would have rather had our own stuff that we have properly cleaned and fit better. It’s February and kind of a windy/rainy day but it was still warm enough to be comfortable In the water. There were lots of waves and the water was cloudy so it was difficult to see. Soon there were tons of boats and people. We mostly interacted with Matt. He was out in the water life guarding. He helped us find the turtles and was so nice letting my kids hold onto his surfboard when needed. He even helped me carry my middle daughter to the beach since I had my hands full. Thank you! He definitely made the tour great!

We want to thank Mani Kai for a wonderful time! Not only did we see turtles and plenty of fish, but we saw pods of spinner dolphins and whales as well. The views of the Island from the ocean are beautiful. You will enjoy about 1.5 hours of snorkeling. We brought our own snacks and beverages. The captain and his mate were extremely attentive to the needs of the group. We really enjoyed ourselves. This is a must do for couples or Families with older children. This experience was of great value. Thank you!
