    A special thank you to Captain Ken, Devin and Mike and his crew for helping our family celebrate my mother's life. From the beginning of the planning stages in 2025 to today when we had the service, this group of people went above and beyond to ensure that we had the best memorial service for my mom. I would highly recommend Hawaii Ash Scatering, they are a 10 out of 10 throughout this journey, Devin assisted me in planning this entire service and she went above and beyond to make sure it was perfect. Because of a weather issue, Captain Ken was able to accommodate us earlier than planned and ensured we would have the most memorable experience memorizing my mom. Captain Mike and crew, our clergy Kelly and the ukulele musician did an amazing job! The entire service and attention to detail exceeded our expectations, Bravo. This entire process was completely overwhelming, but with the help of Captain Ken and his team everything was wonderful. Our family thanks you all for a job well done!

    Thank you Wes and Marcelo for your kindness! My mom's ceremony was special because of you!

    This is an excellent service for an ash scattering memorial at sea. From the first contact, Devin was informative, professional, prompt, and knowledgeable. Setting up the service was very easy with information online and a quick phone call to set everything up. They sent a very easy to understand invoice and you can email or call anytime with questions. You get very explicit instructions to the pier. The day of the memorial everything was perfect. The boat was well-maintained and extremely clean. We had a service with a Hawaiian singer and spiritual leader. He was phenomenal. Our service also included rose petals, a Hawaiian wreath, and butterflies. It was absolutely beautiful and such a fitting send off to a lifelong sailor and his wife. One of the butterflies followed us for a while and we were so touched. The rose petals looked so beautiful in the water. We also received a memorial certificate with a beautiful poem and the coordinates of our loved ones. We could not be happier with the service. We highly recommend Hawaii Ash Scattering for any family that wants a beautiful memorial for a loved one.

    I'm so grateful for the crew of Hawaii Ash Scattering, they were professional, respectful, and polite! We scattered my mom's ashes on Saturday 8/12/23. Diamond Head is forever her resting place. The day was beautiful, water was a little choppy but the scenery was absolutely magnificent!! Mahalo again to the crew!!!

    This was our first and so far our only experience with spreading ashes and therefore there is nothing to compare it to. What I can say with certainty - our expectations are typically high and Hawaii Ash Scatterings exceeded them. To arrange for the service, we communicated with Cheryl over the phone and email. The conversation was professional and warm at the same time. I recommend looking at their website first and then talk to them about the options based on your preferences. At the agreed day and time, we arrived at the Whalers Village and checked in at the Sea Maui kiosk. (That is the name of the chartered vessel.) The attendant called the Captain and within minutes, the boat approached the shore and we boarded. We met the crew: Captain Brad, Carrie, Mario and the ukulele player Eric. They were all very lively and friendly and made us feel home. They briefed us on boat safety and explained the plan for our 2-hour trip. Also, they asked about any preferences we may have. Music: Carrie asked what kind of music would we like to listen to during our trip. She mentioned they have Spotify and we told her we have a special playlist but for some reason couldn't access it. Carrie re-created the playlist for us, and it meant so much. That alone was amazing customer service. The ceremony: when we arrived at a good spot, appropriate distance from the shore, we did the ceremony itself, the spreading of the ashes. The crew assisted in unobtrusive and discreet way. It was private, special, and emotional. Eric blew conch shell in all directions and then played a ukulele. Carrie asked if we would like a video and I'm glad that we said yes. Food and drinks: tasty pupus (appetizers) and various beverages (including alcoholic) were available to us. Overall, this was the right decision. Our dear mom/nana/mom-in-law received the best goodbye possible in the place of her choosing. The certificate we received few days later has the exact coordinates so we will be able to come and visit in the future.

    10 stars. My brother-in-law passed away suddenly and we had no idea what to do. We decided to do this service and I have never done anything like this before. It was so perfect. Devin was so patient and kind throughout the process and my 1000 phone calls I made asking my hundreds of questions and she guided me patiently along the way. The Hawaiian Kahu we had was top tier. The prayers were so beautiful and he took the time to call me the night before to genuinely get to know brother-in-law As soon as we released his pu'ulo, we were immediately enveloped by a pod of dolphins jumping and spinning. We even saw one turtle come right by us and two white birds flying side-by-side above us. So magical.

    Used them to fulfill my uncles last wishes. To be scattered home in the Hawaiian waters. It couldn't have been more perfect. Because of COVID I was unsure if this trip was even going to happen. I ended up calling the week before and spoke with Captain Ken who took all my information down and had Cheryl book the day and email me with more information on what package I wanted. Cheryl and I email back and forth with each other. She responded very quickly and helped me get everything organized. Since my uncles ashes were already in Hawaii, I easily was able to drop them off a few days prior to be prepped by the florist. The day of we arrived at the dock and was greeted by our Kahu who would direct a small ceremony and bless the ashes. Our group of 11 (6 adults and 5 kids) boarded the vessel Sea Scale and captain Wes set sail to find us a nice and serene spot. Along the way we were able to see a turtle and a pod of dolphins. (such an amazing experience) The waters were calm and clouds in the sky which made it a beautiful morning. Once the ceremony concluded we scattered his ashes and spread an array of eco leis and flower petals in the water. Captain Wes then circled that area and took note of the location for us to keep. On the way back we sort of just drifted slowly. It was so nice and calm and just peaceful. I couldn't have asked for a better way to honor my uncle. Thank you to everyone who helped make this such a memorable experience.

    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.

Everyone was so friendly and professional and kind. The boat is absolutely beautiful and it was perfect for our family who chartered it in order to do an ash scattering. The weather was gorgeous and we even got to see some dolphins on our way back. Overall, it was a perfect experience and I'll definitely recommend them to anyone who would love to splurge a bit and go out on the water in a beautiful boat. I hope to someday get to rent with them again.

They ensured everyone got to see turtles and in fact they headed a participant back just when we were being called back to the boat after discovering he didn't get to see turtles.

The attention to detail was superb and attention to safety and ensuring everyone had fun was commendable!

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.
