    My friends booked Royal Hawaiian Catamaran for my bachelorette and birthday party. Shout out to our crew Kalani, Jacob, Adam, and Eric (trainee). They made this part of my trip such an amazing memory. I was not involved in the initial communication or booking of the catamaran, but my friends said it went smoothly. Our time slot was on a Saturday 12:30pm for 3 hours, which I thought was the perfect amount of time. We requested a spot that was secluded and away from other boats, and the team delivered. They provided a bunch of floaties (including a giant inflatable one shaped like a diamond ring) for us to chill on. The net at the back of the boat was roomy enough to fit all of us. They pointed out different animals to us - we saw dolphins, sea turtles, sea urchin, sea cucumber and an octopus! Some specific examples of their great service: - One of the girls' hats flew off due to the wind, and the crew did a U-turn and fished the hat out of the water for her. - One of the girls unfortunately got bad sea sickness. The crew quickly gave her ice to chew on and provided tips on how to reduce the nausea. They were quick to clean up any mess. - They continuously checked in to see if we needed any refreshments or had song requests. Their music taste was on point the entire time, so we actually didn't even need to change the song. - They offered to take multiple pictures of our group at different angles and on different areas of the boat. When reflecting on my bach/birthday weekend, a lot of the girls said the boat was their favorite part. This was definitely a splurge (especially since we only had 8 people and opted for a private catamaran), but it was well worth it!

    The weather was a bit overcast but we had a great time. Kalani, Andy and George were great and made sure we were taken cared of and tended too. We had a great time and would do the sunset tour again.

    Jacob, Adam & Andie were great hosts! They made sure to make us feel safe and were very engaging during the whole trip. We were also able to take home some delicious tuna they caught on our way back to the dock. This experience was one of the highlights of our trip!

    definitely a splurge but if you wanna feel like a baddie get your friends together and get your booties to the royal hawaiian catamaran! I felt like I was on the bachelor HAHA I didn't catch the guy's names but they guides were absolutely incredible. knowledgeable and skilled, they provided the absolute best service on the open ocean! I was so impressed.

    Kalani and Gio! Missing Grace.

    My friends and I booked with Royal Hawaiian Catamaran and it was def one of the highlights of our Hawaii trip! Kalani, Gio, and Grace hosted us and made sure we were thoroughly taken care of during our boat ride. All we had to worry about was having fun and not getting sea sick and they handled the rest! They helped us bring all of our food and drinks onto the catamaran and provided the cups, utensils, water, and juice. They always checked on us to see if we needed anything else and brought it out to us, too. We were lucky enough to see some whales and we had an amazing time snorkeling. I personally can barely swim but Kalani went out of his way to make me feel safer in the water (thanks again!). He also helped point turtles out to us. 100000/10 would recommend. Amazing hosts, hospitality, and experience!

    Didn't know what to expect but it was an amazing Experience. Captain and the crew were very accommodating and personable which was awesome. Of the many Catamarans to choose from this one was chosen and I wouldn't have had it any other way. The trip was smooth and the captain made sure we were all safe and knew all precautions. The Sail itself was beautiful from beginning to end. Although many of us were under the influence it was fun! The boat itself is very clean and I appreciated that the caption provided water/washable cups. Interior is well kept and I was glad we went with the Royal Hawaiian. Cheers and hopefully everyone else chooses them as well!

    We had an amazing time with Jacob, Kalani, and Jeovanney. We had kids on board ages 3 to 15 and they ensured that our whole party was able to enjoy the sunset cruise..snorkeling and all. We would Gladly sail with them again!!

    This picture does the net no justice  it's MASSIVE and accommodated plenty of us.. and comfy!

    Love love LOVED our experience! Captain Kalani, Andi and Hanalei took such great care of us and the boat was perfect. We were a big party (25+ I think) celebrating a birthday and they were super attentive to us, regularly offering drink refills etc and communicating with us about where we were, what we were doing, and asking our preferences on activities. The boat was very safe and clean and it was a beautiful day, 10/10 would book with them again. Thank you guys!

    Awesome people, awesome service, awesome experience, Royal Hawaiian Catamaran.

    See all

    The boat is BYOB. We offer catering but don't discourage guests to bring their food to eat aboard, within reason. Crock pots and large hot glass vessels should be avoided. And for private charters, we have a bluetooth speaker that guests can hook up… Read more

    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.

    Wow!!!! What an amazing experience! Captain Travis and Andie treated us to an amazing sunset…read morecruise. It has been the highlight of our trip. We were able to see giant turtles and flying fish, they kept great drinks coming and treated us to a delicious dinner. We had our 7 year old daughter and 4 adults, and they were sure to treat her with thoughtfulness - her dinner was catered to her as well as a selection of juices and chips. Well with the money.

    We had a hiccup with the third party that we booked through but Karen who works at Captain Bruce…read morewas AMAZING. she made sure that we were taken care of and received what we originally booked. It was hectic given we had to board right away but she was so helpful and kind when I was feeling under pressure. I really wish I can give more than 5 stars just for her service itself. As for the rest of the trip, everything was SMOOTH sailing. Casey, Jared and Mahiki were WONDERFUL as well. I highly recommend this to everyone wanting a great experience. To note, we had 4 kids with us too!

    We booked this Kaneohe Sandbar snorkeling tour after seeing many reviews describe it as…read morebeginner-friendly. As first-time snorkelers traveling with a child, our experience did not align with those expectations. Equipment distribution was poorly handled. Masks were handed out with little to no instruction, and basic questions were met with a rude and dismissive attitude. Overall communication and service were lacking. Once in the water, guidance was minimal and inconsistent. The experience felt rushed and disorganized, with limited support for guests who were new to snorkeling. The tone and treatment we received also made us uncomfortable as Asian guests. After sharing feedback, the company clarified in writing that they do NOT advertise or position this as a beginner-friendly snorkeling tour. Based on both that clarification and our experience, I would strongly recommend that beginners or families looking for clear instruction and attentive guidance consider other operators. Sharing this to help future guests set accurate expectations before booking.
