Phenomenal views.

I saw these boats loading while hanging out on the beach the first day of vacation. I knew right away that I wanted to book. They have sunset cruises, firework cruises, and daytime cruises. I took the sunset cruise. It was an amazing time. The crew was friendly, funny, and great hosts. The space in the boat is great. You can sit in the front on the nets, the side benches, or on the back. There is no bad seat. They stay out longer than the white and blue boat (don't know the name of the company). But you get pre sunset, sunset, and then a nice slow return to the beach. They have unlimited drinks. This is a nice perk. But do everyone a favor and take it easy. No need to overdo it. This is a fantastic option and well worth the cost. Highly recommend!

Went with Ke Kai back in 2021 and decided to book them twice during my 2024 Hawaii trip. Not only did one of the crew members save my life last time, but everyone is always friendly and very chill. The catamaran is shoes off, bright yellow so you can't miss it, and past Duke's. Firework tour underway! Highly recommend checking for Tropic Storms before booking as it was very overcast. UPDATE: Ke Kai fireworks show was cute but was $75 per person for 10-20minutes of fireworks from the Hilton Hawaiian Village. If you're strictly trying to either: - get cute pics with fireworks in background - avoid beach crowds - want to drink / be served drinks while on a boat at night I'd say it's worth it, otherwise I like the sunset tour more.

It was a fun time riding the waves from and to the sand on the beach in front of Duke's Restaurant. The 90 minute sail gave us great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head. I would recommend this fun cruise!

We booked this 10 mins before setting sale. It was a perfect day. Caleb and the girls and Justin the Captain were amazing. Knowledgeable, friendly and kind. The snorkeling was great, saw.lots of fish and several beautiful turtles. The Maitais were great. Would highly recommend and will definitely do it again when we are back in Hawaii.

We booked a last minute snorkeling tour and it was wonderful. The guides made sure that we were prepared to snorkel in deep water and we saw several turtles and lots of fish. I'm not the strongest swimmer and it was an easy and fun experience.

A must do

POV. Your flight from Japan leaves 2.5 hours late causing you to miss your connection in Honolulu and now have a 10 hour layover. What do you do? Leave the airport, have lunch at the beach then take a catamaran ride in Waikiki. All 4 guys on the crew made the experience even better. I can't remember all their names but they were all phenomenal (I think maybe 2 of them were Noah & Carlos). Unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are included in the price of admission. There's also a men's and women's bathroom on board. What an awesome day. Mahalo to all the crew.

Ready for a great time? Make sure to make your reservation on the Ke Kai Catamaran (highly recommended their sunset cruise) a lot of people on board but definitely plenty of room for everyone! & if you're in Hawaii with the Fam, don't worry it is family friendly! Celebrated our wedding anniversary and had a blast on this sunset booze cruise! The crew was amazing, high energy and you're guaranteed a great time!! Definitely a must if you're visiting o'ahu!!

Excellent experience on the sunset cruise! The boat is spacious and comfortable and the staff is fantastic. Be warned the ride can get a little bumpy but overall a very fun time sailing.

Nothing like an afternoon sail, a Mai Tai and the sun wind & sea on your face to put things into…read moreperspective! Jenna and Captain Kia!!

We joined the sunset sail and really loved the view and the experience. Price probably was more on…read morethe high-end compared to bigger-sized group or different time slot, but quite worth the tag. All the staffs were so attentive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. It was quite confusing to find the meetup point at the beginning, but asking the hotel staff did help us getting there. We went on the high-tide day so needed to walk a bit from the usual boarding area. Probably helpful to remind people wearing slippers as you'd need to take shoes off. They did provide proper and plenty storage spaces for your footwear on the boat (appreciated!). Drinks were pretty much bottomless and they had their very own Mai Tai so you could really enjoy the 'complete Hawaiian package'! The only problem with high tide day, it meant be prepped to get wet and going on and off the boat would be quite tricky as you needed to manage timing to avoid the tide from getting you soaking wet. I was unfortunately not the pro and literally got half-bottom wet, getting off the boat LOL. Paid off by the gorgeous sunset view!!

Sunset cruises never get old. Especially when Diamond Head steals the show.

We had such a great time snorkeling with the turtles! The day started off really well--the driver…read morewas on time and in the correct location. The only small suggestion (not really a complaint) would be to let guests know the exact pier and gate ahead of time, as we were just dropped off without much direction. The boat itself was beautiful and very clean. The staff was fantastic--friendly, professional, and they gave clear directions along with a thorough safety briefing. The ride out to Turtle Bay was absolutely beautiful, with great music that really set the vibe. It also wasn't crowded, which made the experience even better. The snorkeling was amazing! We saw tons of fish and even spotted two turtles, which was definitely a highlight. Afterward, the light lunch was perfect--just what we needed after being in the water. Captain Nick (I think that was his name!) took us a bit farther out, and we were lucky enough to see whales, which made the day even more special. Huge shoutout to the crew--Hadley and Andrea were wonderful. Hadley even joined us in the water, which made the experience feel more personal and fun. Overall, it was an excellent day with an incredible crew. Highly recommend!

Everyone was super helpful especially when one of my boys got sea sick and had to be swam back to the boat. We had a very private tour since there was only 8 people, but when we went to snorkel there were 100 people from 4-5 other catamarans. We were very lucky Natalie kept an eye on all of us and helped point out turtles. We had a great experience highly recommend
