    Reusable napkins!
    Dani J.

    Pau Hana Sailing is absolutely spectacular! Not only is the boat itself gorgeous, the crew is also top notch. This may seem small to some, but I was so happily delighted to see that sustainability was encouraged with cute reusable napkins! Chef Mariah also prepared a delicious charcuterie spread featuring her homemade tomato jam YUMMM. They had a cooler full of ice ready to accommodate our individual drink choices and always kept the water pitcher full. Great service And attention to detail is really what sets this experience apart from any other private charter. Our party had so much fun! Thank you again Pau Hana Sailing!

    Charcuterie, poke, ceviche

    Best decision we made on our vacation, hands down. The owners and crew are amazing. We chartered 4 hours for our family of 5. You absolutely MUST "add on" the charcuterie board, plus poke and Ceviche for us. Oh my goodness...to die for! Everything about the day was incredible!

    Venison meatballs and charcuterie board

    Mariah, Jason, and Austin were so awesome!! From the homemade charcuterie board to the knowledge and insight about humpback whales, the two-hour sunset sail was perfect!! So grateful to be able to have this experience!

    Sailing with Pau Hana

    7/16/24 - I took my family of 11 to Waikiki. The boat charter was the highlight of our trip. Booking was very easy through Mariah. The captain, Austin and his assistant Dylan were extremely professional. Besides being great sailors, I really enjoyed them sharing their knowledge of the island. It was great to see Waikiki, Honolulu, and Diamond Head from the ocean. Watching the dolphins play made us laugh. We were very comfortable, felt safe, and took advantage of the opportunity to be on a beautiful boat. Mahalo.

    My 9yr old who doesn't like to swim was very entertained talking to Jason and playing on the boat while we swam.

    Semi-Private Snorkel Tour --7:15 AM Departure…read more If you're debating whether the early departure is worth it-- it absolutely is. Being the first boat out in the morning makes a huge difference. The ocean was calm, conditions were excellent, and we weren't surrounded by multiple tour boats. For long stretches it genuinely felt like we had the reef to ourselves. Sam and Ella were in-cred-ible. Professional, knowledgeable, and very clearly people who love what they do. They struck the perfect balance of being attentive while still letting everyone enjoy the experience naturally. We felt extremely safe the entire time, and they were just genuinely joyful humans to spend the morning with. And I have to mention the turtles. We saw at least eight. Not just in the distance-- they were everywhere. Below us in the reef, gliding past us at the surface, popping up for air unexpectedly. At one point we were actively looking around just to make sure we weren't about to bump into one. Also...calling them "little" would be inaccurate. Some of these turtles were big-- absolutely stunning animals. Swimming alongside them, surrounded by hundreds of reef fish, was one of those rare travel moments that sticks with you. A core memory, without question. -- San Diego

Top notch snorkel gear, comfortable catamaran with awesome seating. Maci was awesome at pointing out all the sea life to our group. Sam was a very welcoming captain. I only wish we did this earlier on in our trip and were able to book a second adventure.

    We joined the sunset sail and really loved the view and the experience. Price probably was more on…read morethe high-end compared to bigger-sized group or different time slot, but quite worth the tag. All the staffs were so attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It was quite confusing to find the meetup point at the beginning, but asking the hotel staff did help us getting there. We went on the high-tide day so needed to walk a bit from the usual boarding area. Probably helpful to remind people wearing slippers as you'd need to take shoes off. They did provide proper and plenty storage spaces for your footwear on the boat (appreciated!). Drinks were pretty much bottomless and they had their very own Mai Tai so you could really enjoy the 'complete Hawaiian package'! The only problem with high tide day, it meant be prepped to get wet and going on and off the boat would be quite tricky as you needed to manage timing to avoid the tide from getting you soaking wet. I was unfortunately not the pro and literally got half-bottom wet, getting off the boat LOL. Paid off by the gorgeous sunset view!!

    Second time doing this sunset cruise and it's been amazing both times. Such a fun way to be out on…read morethe water in Waikīkī! Some logistics to know about: you can get validated parking at the Embassy Suites for $15 (4 hours). If you want free street parking, you'll need to come much earlier and give yourself extra time to get to check-in. Check-in itself is super easy annd it's inside the Outrigger near Monkeypod. The staff is genuinely kind and welcoming from the start. They give a quick safety talk and then walk you down to the boat You'll step into the water to board and you're not allowed to wear shoes, so honestly don't even bother bringing any. It's a catamaran with nets to sit on (my favorite spot) plus regular seating and plenty of space to move around. Unlimited drinks are included and the crew constantly checks in to see if you need anything. Both times I've gone we've seen whales, which feels so special! It is definitely choppy so if you get seasick easily this might not be your move. If you're a water baby though, you'll thoroughly enjoy this experience! It also gets windy, so bring a jacket. If you love being on the water, sunsets, and a fun but relaxed vibe, this is such a good option. Highly recommend!

    Awesome cruise. Worth the money! Their special hooch drink was really good (and strong). Maybe not…read morethe best if you have kids since the open bar is, in my opinion, what this cruise is all about compared to others!
