We had the best experience on the sunset cruise with Captain Krash and Lucy! Couldn't have asked for a better time. The snacks & drinks were a very welcomed and appreciated suprise as well! read more

Great experience, love the staff. Very friendly and funny. They made sure to get us the best experience

My husband and I went on this sail to celebrate our anniversary, and it turned out to be such a memorable experience. We were a little nervous at first because it was raining and overcast, but the crew reassured us it would clear up--and it did! We're so glad we didn't cancel. Krash made the sailing experience incredibly smooth and relaxing. We were lucky enough to see a whale, turtles, fish, the sunset, and even the Friday night fireworks show! Shannon was super friendly and did a great job interacting with everyone on board. Sushi was such a fun bonus to the cruise--we loved how he would bark to give us a heads-up whenever he spotted something in the water. Overall, this was an amazing experience and the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. Highly recommend! read more

Captain Crash, lifeguards Megan & Holly were fantastic. Everyone was fun, funny, well informed of local fish & fauna, they were safety forward staff. We had a fantastic experience for a large group and I would recommend them to anyone! read more

A top-notch experience! The boat crew was so friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. While the turtles are the star of the show, being surrounded by stunningly beautiful schools of colorful fish was amazing too. On our return journey the crew (Kareem, Joe, and Shannon) went out of their way for a close-up look at a spinner dolphin pod. Altogether an unforgettable trip! Do be aware that Turtle Canyon is popular and there were many other folks in the water and you might get jostled; just be aware of others. Something that impressed me was that Joe gave up his surfboard to a couple of young children who were tired, and swam around with them in tow so they could see the turtles. That kindness makes the experience even better. read more

We had such a great time! Joe was wonderful. He was funny, kind and knowledgeable. We have done many snorkel activities and I would definitely recommend Oahu Catamaran. The captain was also wonderful. He was also very kind and humorous. It was just a very enjoyable experience. read more

This tour was amazing. So many sea turtles and fish. The crew was helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. It was a great time.

We had a great time on the Oahu catamaran. We came out for the sunset cruise and fireworks, and then again to snorkel with sea turtles. The staff on the boat is super friendly, and the boat is really clean. I highly suggest going on either cruise. And the two boats dogs were the cherry on top! read more

Absolutely one of the best snorkel experiences I have ever had! Joe and Kareem were fantastic, professional and funny. They were very knowledgeable and did an incredible job with the whole group. The great thing about Oahu Catamarans is that they limit the size of the group so it was a more enjoable experience. We saw more than a dozen turtles and all kinds of fish over the reef. Keep up the great job! read more

Absolutely unforgettable sunset cruise! The views were stunning, the crew was friendly, and the whole experience was peaceful yet fun. Highly recommend it for anyone visiting! Ps : Sushi was my favorite crewman read more

The friendliest crew always ensures that you enjoy yourself and stay safe during the entire trip. This was our second time in two years on this boat with captain Krash and his sidekick ' sushi' the dog. We saw many turtles and fish the entire time we were at the cleaning station!! Would highly recommend this trip for beginners and seasoned snorkelers alike. read more

Captain Crash is super friendly and George his first mate genuinely nice guy and the dog Sushi comes on every sail! We did the two hours sunset cruise and they offered a fresh fruit platter, hummus with pita chips, fresh vegetables, snack size bags of potato chips, cheese, and salami and prosciutto and crackers and waters and sodas all complimentary! Captain pointed out a monk seal as well as a giant sea turtle. They took the time to feed some fish while we stopped near Diamondhead for a photo ops and sunset pictures! I'm pretty sure I've used them in the past before this trip because Captain crash was very familiar to me! I love that it's BYOB, it's the best bang for your buck for sure. I think it was $44 for a two hour sunset cruise. Another plus the boat is almost brand new , very beautiful and they only sail with 28 people even though it holds 49. highly recommend don't -miss these friendly crew. read more

We had such a great time on this catamaran! Spontaneously booked this last minute about 1.5 hours prior to departure. This is a great way to end any day in Waikiki. Amazing views, fun ride. We brought our own tequila, snacks, and juices in and shared it with everyone! They provided some light snacks and non alc bevs. ***No shoes allowed, only bare feet so if that bothers you this isn't for you! read more

This was such a beautiful tour!! The sunset ride is by far the most beautiful view of Honolulu and I highly recommend this tour. Krash the captain and Anna the co-captain were incredible and so sweet from start to finish. They did a phenomenal job at making us feel safe, excited and apart of Hawaii culture. They also have a beautiful pup on board named Sushi and she made the experience so adorable. We love a boat dog! Will be coming back to visit. (Jan the owner and her husband were also very kind and we appreciate them very much for this opportunity to see Honolulu this way!!) MAHALO! read more

The crew made this such a memorable experience with the family. Captain Crash played great music and got us to the best spots for photos, Carlos was an amazing friendly host and offered to take photos of us, then Sushi (the dog) was so friendly and cute. It's BYOB and they offer a yeti cooler and ice to keep your alcohol chilled. For snacks, they offer charcuterie, cookies, chips and refreshments water, juice, and sodas. They load the boat from the dock, so it does make it easier for older folks to get on the boat versus loading from the beach at Waikiki. They also have a lot nearby which you can pay for Parking, which makes it super convenient, especially for Waikiki. There were seats for 28 people comfortably although they did say the boat usually has a capacity of 50 read more

On the way good value how do you recommend multiple startling adventures and definitely can say crew and captain bug and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of my wife has problems with vision, and they made sure she had goggles that accommodated her needs highly recommend Joe and Lucy and Karim took care of I didn't remember my reviews read more

Three generations of my family (from age 7 to 82!) got on the boat with the captain, his dogs, and the attentive and friendly crew. We had a great time! We swam with many turtles and enjoyed seeing Honolulu from the water. I highlighly recommend. They had floaters for anyone who wanted them so there was not any concerns about being strong enough to swim the whole time. If you're not going to jump in, you'll probably enjoy another type of boat cruise better. read more

What a FUN evening aboard the catamaran! Krash and his crew were awesome! We saw amazing views, turtles, fish and the most beautiful sunset! The boat was full of yummy appetizers , snacks and desserts! SO worth it and so happy we took this sunset cruise! I would recommend to anyone going to Waikiki! This is a MUST! read more

This BYOB sunset cruise was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for in Oahu.. chill vibes, beautiful views, and an incredibly kind and fun crew. Captain Carlos and Joe were not only professional, but also warm, attentive, and made sure everyone felt welcome and relaxed the entire time. A huge highlight for me was Mana, the sweet and very well-behaved catamaran dog. She added such a unique and calming presence to the experience. I absolutely loved observing her as she lounged and watched over everything like the boat's honorary first mate. The music set the perfect tone for the evening, and the light appetizers were a delicious bonus. Everything was thoughtfully curated to enhance the relaxed, joyful vibe of the cruise. Joe checked in often and was super helpful. Highly, highly recommend this sunset cruise. I'll definitely be doing it again the next time I'm back in Oahu. A perfect evening from start to finish! read more

This was well spent for the two hours. Snacks and beverages were provided and the views was amazing.

It was a great time all around, six of us booked for the Turtle Canyon Tour & thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Captain Crash, Nick & Shannon were a great crew & easily answered any questions we had. Shannon stayed in the water with us the whole time & made sure we saw the Turtles whenever they were near. We would definitely book again with them. read more

We had such an incredible experience on this sunset cruise while celebrating our Gma Juju's birthday! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. The vibe was relaxed, the views were stunning, and the crew made it feel like we were part of their 'ohana. Captain Crush and Carlos deserve a huge shoutout -- they were phenomenal! Captain was calm, professional, and clearly knows how to create a safe yet enjoyable atmosphere on the water. Carlos brought so much positive energy to the whole cruise -- funny, helpful, and incredibly welcoming. You could tell they both genuinely cared about making everyone's experience special. We brought along our four-year-old twin toddlers and honestly weren't sure how it would go, but it turned out better than we could have imagined. The crew was so accommodating and kind to the little ones, which helped us relax and truly enjoy the moment. We're already talking about coming back the next time we're in Honolulu. If you're thinking about booking -- do it. Whether you're celebrating something special or just looking for a peaceful evening with stunning views, this cruise is everything you could hope for and more. Mahalo, Captain, Carlos, and the whole team! read more

Guides were great, we had a really great time. The drinks and snacks on board were available from the time we parked to snorkel until we were about to get off the boat. The guides were walking around answering questions about the turtles, island and themselves. It was a great day! We will definitely reconnect and come back again. read more

Captain was very nice and cool. The tour was amazing. Wanna come back for more. It was a fun experience

We have been on more snorkeling excursions than we can count and this one was one of the best and it doesn't even break the bank! We had an amazing time with Captain Crash, Carlos, Nick and last but not least, Sushi! Captain expertly piloted the boat and helped point out all of the huge turtles that were in the ocean and Carlos and Nick were super fun, informative and made sure everyone felt comfortable with all of their gear before we got into the water and while we were in the water. Carlos was great in pointing out all of the aquatic life and even found an octopus that he let everyone see. I highly recommend any excursion with this crew because they made it so fun and enjoyable, even for folks who werent originally comfortable with or in the ocean. Thank you for the awesome time. Mahalo! Also: Please, please, please bring tips for these hardworking guys. Trust me, this excursion is more than affordable and that deserve every dollar for their fantastic work! Carlos even went out of his way to help my son find his portable speaker that wasn't even lost on the boat, which shows what a caring and kind person he is. Thanks again! read more

What an incredible experience. Krash, Lucy, Margaret, and Sushi the dog made the whole trip seamless, easy, and fun. The crew gave very clear instructions and looked out for us in the water. We felt very safe. My 3.5 year old son Griffin was beside himself with joy and Lucy and Margaret were so sweet with him. Thank you for this core memory. read more

Despite the Kona Low storm of March 2026, the snorkeling with sea turtles was worth it. The captain made sure that the ride out there and back was as smooth as possible even with the swells and rainy conditions. The staff worked really hard to make sure we were able to see some turtles and fish despite the overcast, rainy and poor water visibility. The staff was cognizant of the slightly stronger current and kept careful watch over the group. I could only imagine how much fish and turtles we would have seen had the weather and water conditions been better. I would definitely go out with them again for another tour. read more

We had a lovely time on the Sunset Cruise. Krash and Lucy (and Sushi the dog) took such good care of us and even ensured we got to see sea turtles which was so cool! The sunset views were beautiful as well. read more

We've done snorkeling at Turtle Canyon near Waikiki with Oahu Catamarans for about half a dozen times now. We've always gone out with Captain Krash on the Kahala Kai catamaran and we appreciate his sense of humor and his commitment to safety and comfort (e.g. he doesn't cram the boat to the maximum legal capacity). The prices are reasonable and we've always seen a lot of fish and turtles. His helpers Anna and Lucy also did a great job doing all the odds and ends that need to be done on a boat tour and really took care of the customers. We highly recommend Oahu Catamarans and especially Captain Krash. read more

Carlos and George were great guides and I'd highly recommend this to anyone visiting Oahu! I had never been snorkeling before but it was amazing -- our ticket covered the boat ride, swimfins, a snorkeling mask, a vest that inflates in case you need some help staying afloat/treading water, an hour in the ocean swimming around the reef, and they even had complimentary snacks & drinks for the ride back to shore (please be sure to tip!). We got to see tons of beautiful fish and multiple turtles (the guides on the surface yell "turtle!!" whenever someone spots one so everyone is able to go see). read more

Great time! We had so much fun with Captain Krash and his salty crew(Lucy, Carlos, and Sushi the dog). There were lots of fish, sea turtles, dolphins hitching a ride, and even a visit from octopus. Boat was not crowded and our family had fun exploring the turtles "cleaning station". Would definitely recommend snorkeling with these guys. read more

My family and I did this catamaran cruise on 3/18 and had the best time. Captain Krash and Lily were incredible, and so was Sushi, the sweet dolphin dog. We stayed in Honolulu for four nights and this was the highlight of the trip for me. If you're choosing between multiple catamaran companies, i would highly recommend this one. It's a great value, the vibes were immaculate, i felt safe, and there are plenty of complementary NA drinks and snacks to go around, too! read more

We booked Sunset Cruise with a party of 4 and a baby. The Staff was friendly, boat was clean.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS CREW AND THE BOAT. We booked a sunset cruise and it was so wonderful - we booked a snorkel trip with them for the next day! Shannon and Greg are a great team and made the sunset cruise very memorable! They both went above and beyond and due to that we saw whales breaching. it was breathtaking and I highly recommend this business to anyone who wants a really good experience sailing on a catamaran. Shannon, Lucy and Crash were the team who took us out snorkeling with turtles and made sure we were all saf--informed and had a blast. Yes we did see turtles and swimming with them is not to be missed! read more

We had an unforgettable Sunset Fireworks Cruise with Oahu Catamarans aboard the Kahala Kai! Carlos and Captain Crash were outstanding -- fun and friendly; they created a great vibe that was both relaxed and professional! Captain Crash's experience provided our tour group access to all the best viewing spots too! Booking through Oahu Catamarans was smooth, with excellent communication and a real willingness to be flexible and helpful. The Kahala Kai has been refurbished with care -- updated and clean, and well-maintained. We were allowed to bring on food and drinks in addition to the soda, water, juice and snacks they provided. We also were able to bring our own music to play through the boat's sound system. Watching the sunset and fireworks from the water was the perfect way to end the day. If you're looking for a fun and scenic evening in Oʻahu, this catamaran cruise is a must! Sunset Fireworks Cruise with Oahu Catamarans on the Kahala Kai - Highly Recommend! read more
