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

There's a brown water advisory put up by the Hawaii Department of health right now, and it advises…read moreagainst getting inside the water. Nevertheless, my snorkeling tour for tomorrow is scheduled as usual, with no importance placed on the health advisory. I called to ask to cancel and ask for my refund, four hours after the cancellation deadline. They still had 20 hours to fill my spot with another person, on a snorkeling tour that is advertised as " likely to be sold out". They would not refund my money, even though I explained that I was concerned about the health effects. I'll never use them again and will never purchase a tour through GetYourGuide guides, because they were equally non-responsive

First of all, did you know that Waikiki had a canal - the Ala Wai Canal? But then also, did you…read moreknow, that they have gondola cruises on that canal??! Soooo cool!!!! Of course we had to do it! I love gondola cruises wherever we can find them. Hawaii WOW Gondola Cruises are a unique, fun, romantic and memorable event in Waikiki - - even in the rain!! Don't miss out next time you are on Oahu ~ anyone can take a gondola ride in Venice...but you have to be in the know to do something this unusual in Hawaii!! We started in the Ala Wai Boat Harbor before heading up the canal, under three bridges and quite a ways along the canal before turning around and heading back at dusk as the sun was close to setting. The gondoliers gave us some city and canal history, explained buildings we were going by, entertained us with songs, comedy and fun conversations. The gondola can hold up to four people and be group or private. I'm not a fan of being out in the rain, and while sunshine would have been preferred, it actually was made a bit more memorable with the big umbrellas provided and cuddling together under them. A very fun time on the water - especially being on an often overlooked body of water in Waikiki. "The Ala Wai Canal is an artificial waterway in Honolulu, Hawaii which serves as the northern boundary of the tourist district of Waikiki. It was created in 1928 to drain the rice paddies and swamps which would eventually become Waikiki. It also serves as a primary drainage corridor for the rivers and streams that run through central and east Honolulu." [Wikipedia]

I was blessed by the hospitable crew and atmosphere when I boarded Hondo operated by PCK Nautical…read more The occasion was for my husband's sea burial ceremony. We brought the ash in a water-soluble box provided by the crematory in Houston Texas. The crew prepared flower petals in a ceremonial bowl. The ceremony took place in the rear deck. First, the family cited a verse from the bible. After that, the captain read a poem for the occasion. Then, the rest of the family gave words of comfort. Finally, the father carried the box by the edge of the boat to release it into the water followed by the pretty flower petals. The whole ceremony took about 10 minutes. Part of this excursion was to sit on the deck to enjoy the scenery with some pupus on charcuterie board, champagne and ice cream. I was not prepared to consume anything because of the motions onboard. In this short hour-and-half tour, I saw Waikiki from the ocean as I had never seen before. Even when we lived in Waikiki for 6 years. His final wish was to ask his ashes to be scattered in the ocean near where we used to hang out. I was grateful that PCK Nautical offers sea burial service. I would want to come back to book other boat tours of 6 guest in the future.

It was inexpensive and an easy machine was available taking cash or credit card. As soon as we got onboard we met the crew: Captain Pete, his wife Min and daughter Monkia. There were so hospitable and gracious! We got a tour of the spacious and well maintained yacht and was impressed with quality and workmanship onboard and also the cleanliness. The sitting area, kitchen, dining areas, sleeping quarters and restrooms were immaculate. Although refreshments and snacks were included, we brought our own wine and pupus to add to the occasion. I would suggest that if want to enjoy an alcoholic beverage. They supplies glasses and everything else you need. It was a perfect late afternoon for a cruise as the water was crystal clear and smooth. The ride was very comfortable and you can move around to the front to enjoy the views, go upstairs to sit and relax or even go into the bridge to visit with Capt Pete steering. Everything was perfect! I would highly recommend treating a group for a special occasion or splitting the bill for a nice evening out with friends. They also offer day trips with an opportunity to jump in the ocean and do some swimming!
