Awesome tour!
Reviewed by: Luis, 2024/04/24This was my second time on the Mana Kai Catamaran. First time was doing the sea turtle snorkeling tour. It was fun being able to watch the sunset and see Diamond Head and the city from the ocean. The staff were very friendly and amazing. Was also fun sitting on the net and getting splashed by the water! I definitely recommend this tour for everyone!

Fun experience
Reviewed by: Heather H. , 2024/04/24We enjoyed the sunset cruise even with a not great sunset (it was cloudy and little rainy). The crew was fun and we had fun getting to know the others on the boat with us. Definitely recommend this sunset cruise.

Whale watching tour
Reviewed by: Rebecca Mominee, 2024/04/20We took this vessel out to watch whales. The staff were awesome. Provided a lot of great information of life as a whale. The water was a bit choppy so there was a bit of rocking. After we disembarked, the Captain spent a good 10-15 minutes out of his busy schedule to talk with us.
I highly recommend the tour!

A splashing good time!
Reviewed by: Rachel, 2023/12/22The team at Waikiki Sailing were a well-oiled sailing machine! The directions provided in the confirmation email were clear and easy to follow. Check in was smooth and the beach boarding only splashed us up to our shins. We decided to sit on the catamaran netting on a particularly windy day and were warned about getting splashed multiple times. We endured the soaking and had an amazing time, plus the crew helped grab our empties and snacks so we could continue to enjoy. I recommend Waikiki Sailing 10,000 times over!

A super experience!
Reviewed by: Matilda, 2023/11/11We were a little apprehensive about getting a boat from the sandy beach, but it was all beautifully managed and we enjoyed a really good trip and a lovely sunset.
We were able to sit still and enjoy the drink and nibbles we had brought with us, while others enjoyed moving around onto the net to enjoy being really near the water. Even a little child under one year was there!
I would recommend this to anyone. A few steps through water and up into the boat led to a wonderful trip.

Perfect way to end a day in paradise
Reviewed by: Vivian, 2023/08/18My husband and I loved the BYOB Sunset Cruise. The crew was expert and helpful. They took pictures of couples and families if you asked and generally made everything fun and casual. I had never been on a catamaran before and I felt perfectly comfortable.It's a small craft, so you will get wet, but not soaking (unless you opt to ride on the webbing up front). Memories for a lifetime!

Great cruise!
Reviewed by: Anne, 2023/07/01It was the perfect welcome activity for the family! The cruise was relaxing, the crew very friendly. It rained very briefly which was ok because it gave us a beautiful rainbow. We loved the magical sunset colours.
The pick up point was very accessible, right on Waikiki beach which is just walking distance from our hotel (and most hotels). Prepare to get your feet and/or legs wet when boarding and getting off but it was part of the experience! The price is also reasonable and allows you to bring drinks of your choice.
Would do it again if we’re back.

Great hosts, easy ride!
Reviewed by: Elin , 2023/03/28My husband and my two boys and I went on a sunset cruise and had a fantastic time. We got to drink our own drinks so we didn’t have the watered down stuff. They usually serve on these types of cruises. The crew was incredibly friendly. We saw a beautiful sunset and multiple rainbows.

Perma-Grin !
Reviewed by: Rob from Phoenix AZ, 2023/03/23I booked this sunset cruise because it was smaller and I'm glad I did. The cruise was fantastic. Beautiful views. Inches from the water and fun captain. Learned about several visible structures and some catamaran history. Highly recommend this cruise. Six stars for this crew and the ship.

a most lovely time!
Reviewed by: Sarah B., 2022/11/16easy to locate the catamaran. the couple who ran the boat were so very sweet. their son took an amazing photo of us. beautiful sunset/views, and BYOB was definitely the way to go.
so many fun & friendly guests joined us as well, but it didn't feel crowded. the length of time and distance was worth it. so many other cruises are overpriced but i was careful to find one that was more budget-friendly and so glad i did.
would go again for sure!

Reviewed by: Mohit , 2022/11/06The catamaran, staff, punctuality and overall experience was excellent! This is an absolutely beautiful way to experience the sunset off Waikiki. We were encouraged to sit at the front, helped with pictures, and greeted with smiles all around. As a BYOB experience, it was well worth the money!
