The crew was fun, professional, and made us feel completely at ease. We were even lucky enough to see whales, which made the trip extra unforgettable! I've told everyone I know about this experience and can't wait to come back and try the dolphin tour next time. This place is absolutely a 10 out of 10--highly recommend!

Tyler was the bus guide and his positive energy set the tour off to a great start. He clearly laid out the outline of the tour: 1st hour to see sea animals, 2nd hour of snorkeling with a boat slide, 3rd hour boat ride back including lunch and hula dancing. Driver Mahea greeted us warmly and safely drove the large bus from and to Waikiki. Captain Jerry was informative and included our 6-year-old daughter to "drive" the boat and it was a highlight of her Oahu trip. Ben and Kainoa were friendly, made sure we had the appropriate snorkeling gear/life jackets for the kids, and gave beautiful hula dances. Cyre had great energy and was informative on the boat ride. Flo and Faavae were great in guiding the water activities. We saw dolphins, snorkeled with turtles, enjoyed the boat ride, and appreciated how a little bit of the Hawaiian culture was incorporated into the tour. Thank you to this crew!

The yacht was so pretty and the Captain and crew were exceptionally thoughtful and kind and had our safety and comfort foremost on their mind. They had catering options for us but also allowed us to bring our own beverages which was convenient since my girlfriends like different things.

Such a great experience and can't wait to take my family!

MANA sunset cruise from Ko Olina - the absolute highlight of our trip!!!…read more We are no strangers to Catamaran excursions - trips in the British Virgin Islands, Greece, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. By far, Captain Travis and First Mate Taylor were exceptional, leaving no detail to chance. We were warmly greeted with a drink and were given a very thorough safety briefing. Both were meticulous in their duties to their craft as well as to their guests. The catamaran was immaculate, an outstanding demonstration of the care and maintenance it receives - impressive for a 2008 Cat. Thanks MANA and crews for your care and concern. We had only 5 of us aboard ( they allow a maximum of only 6) which really enhanced the experience. As we got underway drinks were served and then came what I thought was going to be a sampling of local snacks. No, it was a full dinner made by Taylor that was some of the freshest, best food we have had on the Island, followed by a dessert second to none. The other guests dietary restrictions were taken into consideration and we sailed (and for a portion of the trip we were under full sail & not motoring) around with soft Hawaiian reggae playing. The two hours flew by.... We were regaled with stories of the Islands and some very interesting facts. Sure there are less expensive, far more crowded sunset tours... but NOTHING compares to this one. It was worth every cent. When we return we will have already booked this trip before we board our again! Do yourself a favor, splurge on a really personal Hawaiian experience and book this trip. You will be richly rewarded & have memories for years to come! There may be no traffic jams on the extra mile... but you will find on this excursion, Captain Travis & First Mate Taylor are on the extra mile & demonstrate what the extra mile should look like! A very important note - we recommend if you are coming from the Waikīkī area that you plan on leaving early and planning a light lunch at Ko Olina - the Monkeypod, or one of the restaurants in the hotels. The traffic leaving Waikiki in the afternoon is horrible in the afternoon and could take several hours to navigate to Ko Olina.

We took the first boat out and it was not very crowded. We were able to spread out over several windows. The kids were entranced! They excitedly pointed out huge trevally, sharks, and pretty reef fish. We even saw three graceful spotted eagle rays. This tour has expanded since I went last with a few new sections of artificial reef, which will be amazing in a few years of the ocean taking them over. They have sections of two airplanes which is where we saw the dozing sharks. The best part of course is the two ship wrecks. I've dove these and done the tour. The sub is close enough to enjoy the wreck without being a diver. His diving was really impressive. They gave us plenty of passes to see as much as we could at 100 feet. Narration was good and informative if a little loud. Absolutely recommend this tour!
