Great sailing trip straight off the beach. Fantastic crew , very welcoming and helpful. Great music. Loved the boat , it's a smaller cat , so you are going to get wet when the surf is up or when it is windy. We had both and it was great. Great views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Highly recommend and would do it again in a heartbeat read more

One of my favourite experiences in Waikiki. Very chill sunset ride - show up, get on, go for a sail (that's a little longer than they tell you...ours was about an hour and a half). Wear a swimsuit or an outfit/shoes that can get wet. BYOB! And they do have mai tais and beer for sale as well if you go through what you bring. read more

It's always fun to get on their boat! We take guests on this every time they visit and they absolutely love it! Kids have endless laughter getting splashed! We always sit up front on the net and have the best time with the view, thrill, and getting soaking wet! If you don't wanna get wet, stay on the back and still nice lounging around with the view. If you're lucky, dolphins and whales can be seen and it is such an awesome experience! Can't recommend them enough! read more

Great easy activity to do with the family and friends! Captain gave us a smooth ride with great views of Diamond Head and the city line.

Boat sas very "meh". It was a bit small for the conditions. Completely safe but very wet. I've been on the yellow catamarans and they were better and larger. Crew was "ok". Sail was about 55mins. Cash bar $2 juice, $4 beer $6 premade mai tai. Mai tai was not great. Had fun though with my son. read more

Kepoikai II Catamaran - Hour cruise - diamond head - Beaches Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Not a huge catamaran so that makes it very fun. Wife and kids have sat up on bow and gotten wet last two times, added enjoyment. Boat is BYOB which we didn't know the first time, they serve cocktails on boat. Highly recommend - don't expect some structured Hornblower cruise...you're in Hawaii. read more

Fantastic experience. Sat up front on the nets and it was a whole experience!! The staff was laid back and fun as hell. Compared to what other companies charge.... This is where you get the bang for your buck. read more

Took my family yesterday, probably one of the best experiences on island. Would definitely recommend if you have kiddos.

Spent the evening sailing for my boyfriend's birthday and it was such an amazing experience. Smooth sailing the whole time, wishing it lasted just a bit longer. The crew was always on the move which is probably why the ride was so smooth. Will be comin read more

We enjoyed our voyage upon the Kepoikai II Catamaran. I chose Kepoikai because I wanted a chill cruise for my family, minus the drunk adults that can be found boarding the other catamarans. The crew and captain exceeded my expectations and I'll be sure to sail again. Be sure to make your way at least 10-15 minutes before your sail time. They're located on the shoreline of Waikiki Beach between the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and the main Outrigger Waikiki Beach Hotel, in front of Dukes Waikiki. read more

This review is long overdue. Our family has had the pleasure of sailing with Kepoikai Catamaran many times over the years and it's always an unforgettable experience, and the breathtaking ocean views leave us in awe. We've shared countless memories on these sails, from spotting dolphins and sea turtles Kepoikai Catamaran has become a beloved tradition for our family, and we can't wait to create more unforgettable moments with them. read more

Super nice guys. Booked a ride last minute, and they totally accommodated. Everyone was professional and treated you like they were glad to have you on board! I would definitely recommend this company, if you're looking to have a catamaran experience. Mahalo! read more

Cameron and all of the other staff on board were extremely friendly. It was a great experience all around. The weather was nice for our noon ride and it was such a beautiful day surrounded by good people, a drink in hand, and the view of Waikiki and Diamond Head. I sat behind the window but we still got wet because the waves came at us from behind but we all laughed as it was unexpected. read more

Absolutely loved this experience, especially for only $30 per person. Make sure you are boarding the Kepoikai II as we almost boarded a different catamaran. When you get on, be careful as you need to duck to get in and out. Once on the catamaran, there's seating in the back and front. You will need to take your shoes off as it gets slippery on the boat. You can also leave your bags with your shoes if you're sitting in the front where the nets are. We sat here the whole time, which was so nice. But be warned as you are going to get soaked. They did warn us that we'd get wet, but I was completely soaked and my drink was filled with ocean water by the end of the trip. The waves got bumpy, but it was fun and entertaining. They also offer a premix mai tai for $6, beers for $4, and waters for $2. It's very affordable but you can also bring your own alcohol as long as it's not glass. The people working on the boat even brought our drinks to us, so we didn't have to leave our spot. Note that cash and card is accepted as well, so don't fret and enjoy it. This was such a fun experience to see the island from the ocean view. The views of Diamond Head Crater on one side and the golden hour from sunset on the other was perfect. This is great for couples, friends, and families. read more

Great experience!!! Staff was nice and the views are amazing. They also have drinks available read more

Unfortunately there were only 3 pax (including myself) on my trip. Other than the beautiful views of the coastline of Waikiki it was pretty uneventful. The three crew members were nice but that was about it. Never introduced themselves, did not engage in conversation with any of us and seemed uninterested in connecting with any of us. One crew member asked if I wanted anything to drink -I opted for a Mai Tai. Pretty watered down and paid $6 for it. I really wanted to like this experience as a friend of mine highly recommended it. Unfortunately, my experience fell short. Honestly, not worth the $40 I paid for. read more

It was my second time in sailing with this crew and this time I brought my family members who were here visiting from Colorado. They all were very happy with the experience of boat sailing! I live here and I get Kama'aina rate so I will come back again soon and also I recommend this to all my friends and family and anyone who wants to have a sailing experience!The crew are awesome the boat is not too big not too crowded but very cozy! read more

We had a relaxing sunset cruise on this ship. My family had a great time and the crew was very welcoming. If you sit on the nets you will get wet and the kids loved it. Would recommend this ship to anyone looking to have a pleasant sail around Waikīkī! read more

The boat ride was amazing! My favorite part was the sunset, it was around 7pm and the boat driver just docked on the ocean and we were able to watch the sunset. The boat ride out was a little rocky due to the waves but the views made up for it. A warning, if you sit at the very end of the boat, you may get wet because of the big waves. The boat ride was schedule from 5:30 - 6:30 but we actually stayed from 5:30 - 7:15. read more

I am one who has not gone into the Pacific Ocean in YEARS. I've not been to any beach park in YEARS. and if memory serves me properly, I don't think I've ever walked along Waikiki Beach. So that being said, this catamaran journey was a definite experience! and a FIRST! Here is my story: My friend invites me to join his group on a sunset catamaran cruise. I don't know what possessed me to say ok but I did and dragged my BFF along for support. (No regrets) Getting there and parking: Take Uber in to Waikiki; specifically to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel where the Kepoikai II is moored. Otherwise, valet your car with the RHH or Sheraton. Note that if you valet with the Sheraton, I'm pretty sure you'll need to patronize on of the Sheraton's dining facilities to validate your parking. Or park at the RHC parking structure and stop in for coffee or something on your way home. Merchants at the RHC will validate and if you do that , make sure you go to the RHC Visitor Center as Kamaaina gets free parking with vailidation Getting to Kepoikai II: Walk through the hotel lobby and head towards the swimming pool. Cut through the swimming pool area to the beach itself. There are several catamarans moored out there so be sure you find Kepoikai. Note you are going to have to wade to the ladder to get onto the catamaran. WEAR BEACH CLOTHES. (don't me like me! Dummy that I am with shoes and long legging) Riding the KepoikaiII; Go for the sunset cruise!!! It is the best. Cruise lasts about 1 1/2 hours. The have water and maitais on the tour. You can also bring your own water and soft and hard drinks.... Don't imbibe in adult beverages if you are allergic to motion sickness. The Kepoikai II carries 40 passengers plus their crew. It might be a good venue for a company party or group get together.... Oh, Tips to the crew while not required is recommended and appreciated. A definite must try and a definite repeat for me! read more

I love the Kepoikai cruise! I am local and bring visitors every time and also take a solo sail when I want to enjoy a special day in Waikiki. The crew is amazing, the boat is comfortable and you can't beat the price! My grandkids love the sit up front on the net and get splashed! It's always a fun and memorable experience! read more

We had an absolutely fantastic experience! The staff was incredible--so friendly and welcoming. Once we set sail, they even let you ride on the net, which was such a thrill! They offered drinks on board, and you can bring your own or purchase from them. Honestly, it was the best $35 I spent during my entire time on the island. The crew was so kind and made the whole adventure unforgettable! read more

It was absolutely perfect! The crew was super friendly and professional and our entire family loved it! I looked at a lot of companies and ultimately landed on Kepoikai II because of the size of the boat - we didn't want something so big that it didn't feel like sailing. The kids and husbands chose to sit in the front nets, where they were warned of getting wet - and boy did they! The ocean splashing up MADE it so fun for the kids (who were honestly not overly excited about a sunset cruise at first). I imagine the back of the boat, which had bench seating, was much dryer and more relaxing but we loved experiencing it all! We will definitely be recommending Kepoikia II to anyone heading to Waikīkī! Thank you for creating a core memory for my crew! read more
