Booked a trip for my sister, niece and I. We had the best time. Alcohol, fireworks. Great company. We were singing and dancing having our own great time. As everyone is there to have their own time We made the best of it. Shoutout to John, Tyler and Jamie for a great time. read more

My sister and dad surprised me and my fiancé with a turtle snorkeling adventure! We had such a wonderful time!! Shoutout to Ryan, John, and another gentleman named Tri-but forgot the rest of the name my apologies. They had such a good attitude and balanced safety with fun. The jokes they cracked kept me laughing!! Many thanks for their jovial spirits and hospitality to make for a memorable outing. The boat is taken out to an area near the coast with other groups nearby to which you can jump in or walk down a ladder into the ocean. We stayed out for about a hour just snorkeling and looking for fishes and spotted some big turtles which was whimsical. At the end of the hour I jumped off the side of the boat a few times which was super fun! Felt great to swim in beautiful blueness. I'd recommend Pink Sails Waikīkī again in a heartbeat! read more

No frills 2 hour catamaran without extras, including the cost. (No free drinks or snacks except those small packaged orange peanut butter crackers) We were lucky enough to see a whale shark which was apparently a rare find and pure delight. Saw many turtles. Crew was young yet easily ran a solid cruise. Would go again. Thanks! read more

Highly recommend Pink Sails Waikiki for a turtle snorkeling tour!!! Our guides, Jamie, John, and Seamus were awesome. We saw so many turtles at turtle canyon, i believe about 9 of them at once plus some extras popping up around us. These boys made the tour super fun and we will be back to do the whale tour with them when the season comes! Also, make sure to tip the crew- they deserve it!!! read more

such a great crew and quite literally everything you'd expect! The boat was nice, although yes, they sell more tickets than chairs (no shame in that game), so if you want a spot you'll have to be all parked and ready EARLY! The public parking nearby also fills up very quickly, and the more expensive lot ends up being your only option. BUT! The company and our voyage itself was great. We did the Friday Night Fireworks cruise and our man on aux, John, had great energy and song choice. Chill guy. Our captain, Jamie, was equally nice and made the experience very enjoyable. The boat was nice, the sunset was beautiful on the water, and the fireworks had the perfect angle and song (shout out Coldplay). Overall a pleasant experience for the price read more

Jamie W and I had been on a different catamaran off Waikīkī before, the Maita'i (review: https://yelp.to/P7qeOP_nln). It was a fabulous gay cruise on a Saturday afternoon sponsored by Hula's Bar & Lei Stand, and not coincidentally covered a similar route to the one taken by the Odyssey. At the last minute, we decided to book passage on the Friday Night Fireworks cruise for $79 per person. We thought it would be a unique way to witness the pyrotechnics we had never seen before. Indeed it was, and launched from the beach at the Hilton Hawaiian Village, they lasted over five minutes at the end of the ninety-minute cruise. The rest of the experience was less than memorable. The boat was packed with mostly tourists by the time we boarded twenty minutes before departure. There were few seats left and none with an unobstructed view. Other than maneuvering the choppy waters and enjoying the twilight views of Waikiki, there was frankly little to do except wait for the fireworks. Of course there was a full cash bar, and the boisterous intoxication it caused seemed at odds with the number of children aboard. The crew (Alexio, Kainoa, and Shamus) did their jobs admirably.

Pink Sails will forever hold a special place in my heart. I first booked with them in 2023 for my boyfriend's birthday, and now in 2026, we came back for turtle snorkeling and the fireworks--never knowing I'd be getting ENGAGED on the boat that same night! Xavier, Alex, and Captain Jamie were absolutely amazing and so accommodating. And a special shoutout to the sweetest little Chihuahua on board--the cutest crew member and now part of our engagement story. Thank you for making such a special night even more unforgettable. We always have the best time with Pink Sails and will definitely be back! read more

The crew - Alexio, Kiona, and Shamus did a great job. Alexio did a fantastic job of narration, explanation, and had a solid attempt at whale puns. They whalely could have been better though. We had the opportunity to follow a small pod of whales and sew many surface and dive sequences. The boat was clean, safe, and comfortable. I felt safety was a priority, with a good explanation beforehand. My only criticism would be the small sign at the meeting point - there was a lot of confusion by many people looking for the correct spot. Highly recommended and would definitely do again. read more

Had a great experience today!!! My family and I booked the turtle bay snorkel tour today with Pink Sails. It was very economical and our hosts, CPT. LD, aka Lil Dog, CPT Mo, Xavier, and Jandy were so nice, hospitable and helpful on the boat and in the water. Saw some great aquatic wildlife including fish, sea turtles, and an amazing looking stingray of some type that had what looked like 20 ft away as leopard spots. A great experience and value for The Texans touring Hawaii. Thanks for a great time! read more

We scheduled through Viator for a turtle canyon snorkeling excursion. The team was phenomenal to work with (Captain Jamie, guide Peter, and support Jalen). As promised, we were able to see turtles. We snorkeled to a few different areas and had multiple picture/video opportunities. They gave us a couple of options with how to enter the water, they showed us around, and we enjoyed our time (definitely enhanced by the team we were with). The views were phenomenal and we had a beautiful day to be in the water. I only wish they would've shared a bit more about tips and tricks with managing the waves as well as how to best use the flippers in the water. Having snorkeled before, I felt confident. However, as someone who isn't a strong swimmer, I think I would've struggled. read more

Scheduled a turtle watching snorkeling tour with Pink Sails and it did not disappoint! Moe was our Captain and Little Dog was our Co-captain, with Jalen & Xavier as the shipmates. They were great! LD (Little Dog) is the coolest, and Jalen & Xavier were super helpful with our gear and cocktails. We saw lots of fish and a few turtles. Very cool. Be sure to have a MaiTai and don't be late! They are prompt! We also did their Friday night Fireworks cruise! Highly recommend also!!! read more

Of course, the ocean was beautiful, but the overall vibe on the boat felt more like a college party than a relaxing sunset sail. Although professional, one crew member was overly flirty and seemed to have difficulty with personal boundaries. I was hoping for a peaceful outing with my partner, but found myself distracted by the focus frequently being drawn to the crew. Appreciate the effort, but will try something else next time read more

Great boat and extremely funny staff. They do provide limited drinks. Bring cash for drinks and tipping the staff. Didn't get to see much as the whales were swimming everywhere we weren't and then they circled back to where we were not too long before. They can't get too close to them, but if a whale gets close to the boat, that's fine, but I believe they need to try to move away and give them space. We weren't that lucky. Not the staff's fault. Still worth the trip. Bring lots of sunscreen. read more

Loved our time on the sunset cruise! We got there 45 minutes ahead of departure time and ended up waiting in line for about 30 min. The one girl checking everyone in didn't seem to know how to work her phone she was using to scan tickets. She caused a major bottleneck and delayed everyone getting onto the boats. It would probably have been better for her to have just checked IDs against her list of reservations. Once we were checked in we were allowed to choose which boat we wanted to join, either the sailboat, or the one with an engine. Being that I get motion sickness and don't love it when it is super windy, we went with the latter. We sat at the front of the boat and enjoyed the views. It was the perfect setting to be on the water during the golden hour around sunset and to return just as it was getting dark. The guys working on the boat were friendly and helpful, checking in with people to see if they wanted any beverages or photos taken. The only really annoying part of the trip were a couple of late-comers. Because of them we had less time out on the water and realistically they should have just been left behind. If the departure time is 430pm and instructions say you have to be there by 415pm, then at 430pm you should be pulling away from the dock, regardless of who is or isn't onboard. We were the last boat out of the harbor and the first boat back. It wasn't a huge deal because we didn't miss the sunset or anything, it just shorted the rest of the patrons. The 2 hour cruise was more like a 1.5 hour cruise that day. read more

Alexio, John, and Sheymus were amazing! So funny, light hearted, accommodating, and made our first time so enjoyable! They made sure to check on everyone and honestly was a great experience! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to snorkel and laugh! read more

While visiting Hawaii, I was looking for an activity to do and came across whale watching since it's currently in season. I found Pink Sails Waikiki, as they offered competitive prices and were running a 20% off promo with the code ALOHA for anyone interested. I would recommend arriving early, as a line starts to form and boarding is done in that order, which helps you get better seats on the boat. I cannot remember the names of the hosts, but they were fantastic. They were informative, shared jokes, and made sure everyone had a great experience. We were also lucky to see dolphins during the trip, which made the experience even more special. We really enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend it! read more

I booked this snorkeling experience on trip advisor which also gave me a great discount. The directions were clear and easy to book. I received an email with confirmation and parking information with details. We arrived 30 minutes early as requested and it was a super easy check in. They give you your float and face mask right away. The boat is a basic 2 story, restroom, seating and a light bar. I was excited to try the bar but there simply wasn't enough time nor did I account for sea sickness. The staff was awesome, very attentive and sympathetic to those who weren't feeling well. The Mc was funny and kept everyone entertained. When you go to the snorkeling location they explained everything in laymans terms so everyone really understood. They split us into groups based on experience. Which just made it go smoother. My kids were very excited for this. My son was out the entire time. Next to the guide they put out to make sure we saw an much as we can. The turtles were beautiful. We saw many turtles and many fish. The water was so clear. He was very vocal to his group and individually asked if we all saw the things he was pointing out. If you said no he took you there to make sure you got the best experience. I consider myself a great swimmer and great multi-tasker. But the fins, the mask and the float for myself was alot to get used to. I could not for the life of my get the hang of breathing out of my mouth. I jumped in saw the fish saw the turtles did a little swimming and can back in. I wouldn't do it again but it was a great experience. Im glad I did it with Pink Sails as they were awesome. My kids would love to do this again. read more

My experience with Pink Sails Waikiki was exceptional from beginning to end. The entire experience felt well-curated, and effortlessly smooth. Safety was clearly handled at a high professional standard, with a knowledgeable crew who provided clear guidance and made everyone feel completely at ease throughout the journey. The sailing itself was serene and elevated, offering stunning views of Waikiki in a calm, intimate atmosphere.the diving experience was unforgettable. Well organized, fun, and perfect for both beginners and experienced adventurers. They explain in detailed manner the different spicies you encounter in the water uncluding the age of the turtles and the kind of dolphins. Onboard entertainment was thoughtfully balanced engaging yet never overwhelming with good music too, adding a subtle layer of enjoyment to the overall experience. read more

Giving 2 stars due to one crew members rude comment. We booked a sunset splash on Sunday 03/02/25 at 5pm. First, the crew introduced themselves and were engaging with groups for photos. We sailed towards the sunset and then set anchor facing the Waikiki skyline. I thought everything was going well until one of the crew member, Tyler, who I can best describe as one of the guys with the mustache made a crude joke. He started talking about Chinese new years and fireworks. Then he proceed to say, "you heard about Filipino New Years, right? Where they eat dogs?" He then repeated it AGAIN while talking to the other worker John and he didn't get it. But when he walked past me; I told him that joke was offensive. He just looked at me and went downstairs. That's pretty offensive and put a damper on the whole sunset sail itself. I still tipped the crew $20 because I know they have to earn a living but I left feeling offended and hostile. Please train your crew to do better, especially Tyler. I am showing the very little picture I have from the cruise because I wish I didn't book this excursion. read more
