Mana is by far the best experience! I have done a handful of snorkel tours, sunset cruises, yacht adventures, etc & Mana was by far the most enjoyable. The staff were exceptional- friendly, knowledgeable, funny and enjoyable to get to know. The vessel was beautiful and stocked with anything you could possible want- snacks, beverages, lunch etc. Mana provides all gear needed for a successful snorkel- we had one person in our group who was less than proficient in the water & she did wonderful with the help of the staff. The sail was a dream. So stunning. Incredible views, so many fish and a couple turtles! After snorkeling we were served lunch and it was the best food I've had on a tour like this. I also really loved that this tour was NOT packed with people. I've been on tours with 40-60 people on what feels like the same size vessel and having just 8 of us, including staff made this so relaxing. Mana is the only tour to book. They are the epitome of what you want in a tour in Hawai'i.

Beautiful catamaran and very clean! We got lucky with the weather. It was not too hot and had some breeze. Lunch was very yummy, healthy and light. We got to see many marine life: dolphins, a turtle, a seal, and many fish. The crew was very friendly and made us feel welcomed. Thank you to captain Austin and crew for taking care of us, we had a lot of fun!

We had a great experience with Mana Cruises. The boat was clean and spacious, and the Captain (Austin) and First Mate (Miranda) were great. We’d recommend the private snorkeling cruise- definitely worth the money.

The crew was friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. The trip to the snorkel site was amazing. Just all around a great experience for our family.

I can’t recommend the snorkel tour enough! We were 5 people, so we ended up having the boat to ourselves. The staff were super helpful and accommodating. We got to snorkel with turtles and see dolphins. My 3 year old and 7 year old came with us and it was a great experience for all. It was definitely the highlight of our trip.

Austin & Maro made this trip amazing!!! Not only a top notch catamaran but super intimate no crowds here very relaxing!!! We saw turtles and swam with fish, octopus, and were able to get close to very large cushion starfish. Would do this trip again!!!

We took a catamaran from Ko Olina marina at 9am. We were met and welcomed onto the boat by Kavika and Mateo. After a brief tour of the boat, we set off. During the trip we were offered drinks and snacks, including fresh pineapple. The other people in our group were very lovely and we also saw a huge pod of dolphins on our way to the snorkelling site at power plant beach. After being kitted out with snorkelling gear (mask, snorkel, flippers and optional banana floats), and being given a brief safety explanation, we hopped into the water to go snorkelling. One of our couple was an experienced swimmer and the other (me!) very new to snorkelling and a nervous swimmer. We both had an amazing time - my partner was free to swim down to the reef and I was never pushed out of my comfort zone. MASSIVE shoutout to Kavika who made me feel safe the whole time. He dove down to find local sealife (pencil urchins etc) we could safely touch and interact with. We even swam with turtles! On the return journey, we were offered lunch - root veggie chips, wrap sandwiches and fresh fruit, and whatever drinks we wanted. The whole experience was fantastic, a highlight of our trip here, and Kavika especially shared a tonne of information about Hawai’i, the sea life, etc. Wonderful, and well worth it!

We had the best time on the Oahu Small Group Snorkel with Yacht Cruise. The captain was very knowledgeable and entertaining. His first mate was also very knowledgeable and entertaining (and patient). The equipment was clean and well organized. We had plenty of time to enjoy the boat ride, snorkeling, then a very delicious lunch. They even took in consideration allergies which was very much appreciated. We will definitely go on this adventure again!!! Highly recommend!!!

Not your ordinary snorkeling tours , it was by far the best snorkeling we had so anywhere in the 🌎 . Captain Amy and mateo were amazing 👏 😍 super friendly, and super cool . The yacht is big , clean, and cool. We headed to the snorkeling spot and swimmed with 🐢 and 🐟 🐠. Then we took a nice cruise for a while . Captain Amy was knowledgeable, and we appreciate her for the info and local recommendations. She is top-notch, and the ride was smooth. We will definitely will repeat before we head home .

Ella, Travis and Mateo made this incredible! The boat is stellar and clean. The crew is knowledgeable and attends to all your needs. After safety review, provided champagne, fresh cut pineapple, chips. Found seals and turtles. The snorkeling was so cool! Mateo would dive and find the hidden treasures. The lunch served was delicious. Would use Mana every time we are in Hawaii!

My husband and I went on the snorkel sail from Ko Olina. It was outstanding and could not have been better. The ship was luxurious and since there was a maximum of only six guests there was always room available on any part of the ship. The crew was attentive and made sure that everything was taken care of. We have been on many of these types of sails and this was by far the best. We will definitely go with them again and have already recommended them to our friends who will be visiting. If you have the opportunity to take a trip with Mana - do it!!

Well worth what we paid for! Booked the experience for my husband's birthday. Austin and Mateo went out of their way to deliver an unforgettable experience to us. They were very knowledgeable about the sea-life and the surrounding area and was great at explaining to us the different behaviors of the whales that we saw. The snorkeling experience was the best I've been on. Austin helped us attract a large group of fish while we were in the water and I felt like I was swimming along with the fish just like you see on TV!! Mateo was in the water guiding us through the snorkel experience. Mateo went out of his way to find interesting things, including a Moray eel and an octopus! We also saw a few turtles as well! Austin also made sure we stopped by at least a few fishing spots after he learned I liked fishing. We had quite the catch that day! Overall, I cannot recommend this experience enough. It is very much worth the price!

My teen son and I had an amazing snorkeling experience with Mana Cruises. There was only one other family on the cruise and we really appreciated the personal service- especially since it was our first time snorkeling. The crew was friendly and very professional, and the snorkel guide was great at explaining how to do it and making us feel safe in the water. I was initially very nervous since I’m not a strong swimmer but am so glad we did as we saw a wide variety of colorful fish and 4 turtles. It was amazing and a top notch experience all around thanks to Mana Cruises!

This was a phenomenal day on the water! My family of five had the entire yacht to ourselves! The yacht is gorgeous and Travis our captain along with Mateo were wonderful, attentive and experienced! Skip the mass crowds and charter this yacht! The boat has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms with showers and so luxurious! 5 stars isn’t enough and they deserve 10 Stars ⭐️

Austin and Mateo showed us a great time. They were very friendly, always kept our drinks topped up, took us to a great snorkeling spot, and made us a nice lunch. The cruise was an awesome way to spend a few hours. Between everything offered, it was also a great value. We'll definitely look into doing this again next time we visit O'ahu.

The crew was amazing and the customer service we received on this excursion was outstanding. I travel with my 11 yr. old son.....the night before, Ellie asked me what he would like to eat for lunch. They provided him with tasty Chicken tenders and fries instead of "adult" lunch, which I so much appreciated and so did he. The catamaran was beautiful and very well maintained. Both captains were great.....fun, knowledgeable and great snorkel guides. They played fun music while on board, it was very laid back and relaxing. Total of 8 people on board, including both captains. Extremely private and enjoyable. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

My family and I enjoyed our snorkeling cruise with Mana on October 17. The catamaran and crew were outstanding. We snorkeled at Electric Beach, which was good, but not great, snorkeling in my experience. Nonetheless, I rate this tour as a five-star experience because of the catamaran, the crew, the natural beauty, and the exclusivity of the experience. My family and I accounted for four of the six people on the tour, and it was much more enjoyable and relaxing than going on catamaran packed with people. I highly recommend this tour.

Was an absolutely gorgeous boat and incredible day. Would highly recommend, and we’d definitely book again if we’re back on Oahu!

This is a must. The catamaran itself was fantastic, you could sunbathe upfront or sit on the back under the cover away from the sun and still get some vitamin D and color. The Captain and the Deck Hand were amazing. They were knowledgeable, paid attention to safety and were very personable. There are only 3 couples that this catamaran accommodates, and it was perfect. There was PLENTY of space for all. This is how you do it. The ticket price included drinks and lunch and all the snorkeling equipment. As soon as we got onboard, we were asked what we wanted to drink, and they were prepared from scratch for all. They kept coming. There was no shortage of that. After snorkeling a nice lunch was provided with included taro ships and two kinds of wraps. It was delicious and light at the same time for boating activity. It was just perfect. We highly recommend this activity with Mana Cruises. This is the only way of doing it: plenty of delicious and refreshing drinks, great lunch, great crew and most importantly it felt like a private yacht… well it was for the time we were on it!!! You simple must do it. In the top 3 highlights of our Oahu and Maui vacation. 10 Stars!!!
