Had a great time with the family. Saw so many fish and beautiful views. Overall a great time with drinks and excellent food.
The staff and crew was amazing! Highly recommend! We also did their snorkel tour and they were amazing as well! Super safe and the crew was lifeguard certified and came into the water with us which made us feel extra safe. The food was also very good!! We used them for all our excursions and the luau, which we also highly recommend. It used to be by the four seasons for decades and now it's at oceans edge. It was a fantastic show! It told such a beautiful story of the Hawaiian history and culture. It was absolutely incredible
We did the morning snorkeling tour with these guys last week and it was such a good experience. My kids could not stop talking about how much fun they had! First of all, the catamaran is beautiful. It was nice and clean with plenty of comfortable areas to sit. My kids eyes lit up when it pulled up to the dock. Secondly, the staff was so friendly and welcoming that they instantly put everyone in a great mood. My kids are 7 and 9 years old and the staff prioritized the perfect balance of safety and fun which I really appreciated. This is a great tour for all ages. The snorkeling and wildlife we experienced was amazing and my kids got to see sea turtles, sharks, dolphins, and more fish than you can count. Afterwards, you are treated to some excellent sandwiches, snacks and adult beverages. You can't really describe the feeling of enjoying lunch on the sun soaked deck with families of dolphins swimming all around you. Hats off to this crew for making this such an enjoyable experience. My wife and I had a great time and my kids thanked us multiple times for planning this. If that doesn't say something I don't know what does.
All female crew, a first for us, and a nice smooth sail with Tamiko @ the helm. Courtney, Mariam, and Kaley (fingers crossed on spelling) were all very attentive, friendly, and made for a very pleasant experience. Snacks were individually packaged, MAJOR bonus cos it's nasty when you get passengers clamoring for cheese 'n stuff off of a tray. And, rather tasty, I might add. Didn't partake in the drinks cos we've had plenty leading up to sunset cruise. Big lot for parking and seamless check-in. Save time, a tree, and sign your waiver online.
We had a great time on our sunset cruise! Our original scheduled date got rescheduled due to a shortage of attendees. They communicated very quickly and easily via email to reschedule our cruise. Then unfortunately we had to cancel 1 attendee, and again they communicated easily and quickly and gave us our refund the same day! Once on board the crew was very welcoming and accommodating...including one crew member jumped in to grab a lady's hat that blew off into the water!! Great cocktails and appetizers...all in all 5 stars!
10/10. Staff is awesome! Super fun crew. We had the best day today on the morning snorkel boat tour. It's our 3rd year in a row choosing this tour during our annual vacation to Oahu. The kids love it as much as the adults! I'm sure there are plenty of tours like this around the island but we don't even want to try the others. Hands down our favorite part of our vacation is this tour seeing the amazing fish, reef and turtles out in nature. Great lunch and drinks provided as well. Highly recommend this catamaran crew and tour. We tell everyone we meet to check it out. Sad to leave the islands now but -See you salty pirates next year!
One of our favorite excursions we did in Hawaii. We actually did the snorkeling excursion in the am, and then the whole family did the sunset cruise the same day. Such special memories and so much fun. The staff was badass and so fun; drinks were great; food was pretty decent too. One of the divers snorkeled down and got an octopus and we got to pet the octopus. Such a cool experience, and all on a catamaran! This is located at the Ko Olina Bay Area and very convenient from our hotel that was located next door. Once again can't praise the staff enough- they actually were the same crew for both and kind of felt bad for them having such a long day, but they had high spirits and made the best of it- very personable and made the whole family wanting to go again!
Our family had a great time last week with the Ko Olina Ocean Adventures! The crew were amazing, the boat was pretty sweet, the snorkeling was really fun (even for those with trepidations) and the bar opened immediately following casting off! This was one of, if not the most memorable experience from our Hawaii trip.
Doing snorkeling from the catamaran was my favorite activity that I've done in Hawaii! The snorkeling was amazing and I saw and fed hundreds of fish! They also took safety very seriously on the boat and I felt very at ease with the crew. I did end up getting sick from the boat rocking (forgot my Dramamine) and the crew members gave me some essential oils, ginger chews and ginger ale to help me recover.They were super friendly and helpful! Highly recommend them.
The staff was incredibly friendly, which really made the adventure worthwhile. We spent a good amount of time snorkeling, it was actually more than enough since the majority of the passengers returned to the boat before the time was up. The buffet at the end of the trip was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately we did not see any dolphins or whales, but that is not their fault. I love the fact that the boat was not that packed and there's plenty of room to lounge and sit. They could've packed more people, but they didn't which is a huge upside. Don't forget the open bar!!!!

We had a great experience on the Catamaran Snorkeling excursion. The Captain and Crew did a fantastic job of getting everyone ready for the snorkeling - from the safety instructions at the beginning to the lunch afterwards. Plus, they were right in the water with us the whole time - checking on folks and pointing out Sea Turtles and other interesting things! Can't wait to get back to do this again! read more

The three of us went on a two hour sunset cruise sailing out of the Ko Olina marina last Thursday. We conveniently walked over from the Marriott. It took us about 11 minutes. The catamaran cruise was scheduled to set sail 4:30p-6:30p. Everyone was checked in by one of the crew members and then we were allowed onboard. Heads up - it's shoeless. All shoes off. So be aware. Food wise- a nice charcuterie in a box with three drinks per person. The two tropical drinks offered were of their own concoction- the naked pirate and the mermaid. The naked pirate was similar to a mai tai, and the mermaid was like a blue Hawaii. We liked the naked pirate more. Because we enjoyed the tropical drinks I can't recall what else was being offered. The catamaran was nice and cozy. It sailed along the coast and we saw our resort. The crew members were very attentive and made sure we always had a drink. I don't think anyone drank more than the three allotted but it was no big deal. The sunset was beautiful. Once it went down the captain headed back to the marina. It was a nice way to spend an evening. read more

Mid day snorkeling tour. Highly recommend. We walked from Aulani. crew was magnificent! I like nice people, and the crew was as personable as could be. We were a little bummed hearing folks on morning boats had no luck with whale sightings. After snorkeling , then an outstanding sandwich and drinks , it was time to head in. Then , wham! Whales all around the place. It was very exciting , and magical . We would do this again if we returned! read more

Wow! I couldn't imagine a better experience. Captain Todd and the crew took great care of their guests. All of the crew members were genuinely happy and excited to share knowledge of the sea and the life below. We were able to enjoy seeing dolphins, turtles, fish, and an octopus named Octavia. The amount of time spent was perfect. The food and drink served were all delicious. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone of any age! read more

This experience was definitely one of the best parts of my first-time visit to Hawaii! The lovely cruise along the Ko Olina coast of Oahu was stunning and the sunset was breathtaking! I loved the catamaran and sitting in the front was amazing and very romantic. The cocktails and snacks were perfect and the staff were warm and friendly. Music playing in the background added to the overall atmosphere! I highly recommend this fabulous experience! read more

Love a good sunset on the ocean. My husband purchased the sunset cruise out of Ko'olina for my birthday. Same company does snorkeling trips during the day on the catamaran. They cruised out past Electric beach area which offered views of the westside mountains and coastline. They entertained us with lively music, appetizers and drinks. Enjoyed the views and chatting with other passengers. Of course the main attraction was the beautiful golden views of the sunset . The staff were all very friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of. If you are local or tourist it's a pleasant couple hour cruise. read more

As a traveler who experiences excursions all around the world, I was so impressed with the sail I took with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures, and I would book with them again in a heart beat. Located in the Ko Olina Marina, there were no other tours happening during my arrival time and it was super easy to find with plenty of parking. The parking is paid, and cost $18.00 additional to the tour. If you're staying in Ko Olina, you could potentially walk to the tour from your hotel as long as you're ok walking back in the dark (the area is well-lit). I took the sunset sail in mid-February. I'm not sure what capacity is on the catamaran, but it was not full during our sail. Our captain was so nice and easy-going. He and the rest of the staff made everyone feel welcomed and taken care of the entire time. Obviously the smoothness of the ride has more to do with ocean conditions and swells, but Captain Todd truly took it to the next level and gave us such a smooth sail. You're welcome to walk up to the bar for drinks, but I love how the staff checks in regularly and brings you drinks when you need a refill - it's great to be able to stay in your spot and not have to head to the bar. I'm plant-based and the staff accommodated with a vegan charcuterie bowl for me (I let them know in advance, I believe that the meat and cheese were pre-packed with the fruit & crackers for the non-vegan versions before the sail). The music was completely on point and the sunset views were perfect! I loved the timing of this sail as we got to enjoy a bunch of daylight, and then wound back up at dock just after sunset (still enough light to begin your walk back to your hotel or enjoy some views of the last light before heading back out of Ko Olina). We unfortunately didn't see any whales, turtles or dolphins this trip - but the crew was surprised because they had been out a lot during the day. They must have put on a show earlier and been asleep for our sail! Crew told me that they've had whales and dolphins ride right along the boat at times. The people and the vibes were wonderful, and it was the perfect sail around Ko Olina. Highly recommend! read more

We scheduled a Sunset Catamaran Cruise (w/cocktails and charcuterie) as part of our week celebration of our 10th anniversary and first ever trip to Houston (2/26/26). It was EVERYTHING we could have hoped for! The whole crew was amazing, friendly, and very accommodating. The Captain was awesome and great attitude and made everyone feel safe and welcomed. And the views were BEYOND stunning! My husband even saw a couple "whale breeches". If we had time, I would have cruised with them every evening. Absolutely AMAZING time and highly suggested! Thanks Team Ko Olina Ocean Adventures for the beautiful core memories! read more

Is there enough seating for all passengers on the sunset cruise?
Yes, I took the sunset cruise last month. There are enough seats for everyone inside the catamaran cabin. Once the cruise started, almost everyone moved to the top and front where there are not seats but people stood or sat on the front canopy tarp…
Can we dive instead of snorkel? If so, do you provide diving gears? How much is the fee for diving? And what's included in this diving fee? What is your cancellation policy to get a full refund?
The area we snorkeled was about 30 feet deep. There was not any diving but several people submerged and went underwater, for pictures, since we saw several sea turtles. The gear provided was fins, snorkel and life vest. Despite being a whole week in…
What snorkel gear is included on the Catamaran Sail & Snorkel? What do we need to bring? (I read that with some tour companies you need to bring your own mask and snorkel.)
Yes, they provide all equipment and show you how to use it.
How much time do you actually spend in the water?
Good Morning, it really depends on which tour you are planning on attending. Our Catamaran Snorkel and Sail stops at two locations and snorkels at minimum for 30 minutes at each site. Our Dolphin Snorkel Tour should be going to two to three snorkel…
Is is necessary to wear a life vest?
Required for kids 12 and younger. Optional (but recommended) for others.
