RATED 4.5 STARS ON TRIPADVISOR!

Great time snorkeling with this crew! We saw a lot of fish and many sea turtles. My daughter loved jumping off the side of the boat over and over! Drinks were great too!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the 2:30 Sunset Cruise. The guys sailing us out were super nice. It was beautiful on the water, and we even saw a turtle in the water! The Mai Tai drinks they had on board, were actually the best we had the entire trip. I would defiantly recommend this experience! P.S. you could get soaked...we did :-)

So much fun! One of the more affordable sunset cruises and 100% worth it. The workers on the boat were friendly and upbeat and did a great job of cultivating a fun vibe. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best part of my trip! Kalani, Mina, Mitchell and Justin were great. Super nice and friendly. The views during sunset were incredible. I will definitely be booking this again when I come back to Waikiki. Thanks Manu Kai crew!

This was a great experience. We went on the morning snorkel tour and had a fantastic time! The boat comes right to the beach at Waikiki. The people were fantastic!!! We saw 3 turtles and lots of fish at turtle canyon.

We did the Diamond Head Tour and had a great time. This is a 90 min tour with sails up. Captain and crew were great. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. The Manu Kai is small enough that you really felt the waves and were really sailing. Crew were manning the sails but still had time to make sure you had mai tais. Overall a great time and highly recommend.

Well worth the money. Great crew, drinks included. Plenty of room on the boat. Friendly atmosphere. Bring a camera or iPhone, maybe a sweatshirt for after sunset. Expect to have a great time for $40.00. Definitely would go again.

We chose Manu Kai for the mid morning turtle snorkel at Turtle Canyon and had a terrific time. We saw plenty of turtles and fish and enjoyed the professional but casual, laid back vibe of the crew. Jess in particular was outstanding (with a background in marine biology). Post our snorkel we headed towards Diamond Head for a great view of the beach and were lucky enough to see dolphins at play. A great morning trip.

Hawaii nautical is one of hawaii's largest ocean-activity providers..

We have a fleet of vessels islandwide serving many harbors across Oahu and the Big Island. We believe in delivering service, safety and the spirit of Aloha. We respect the ocean and the ecosystem, and we follow strict guidelines so that all marine wildlife is protected. Additionally, we honor the host culture and support the local communities in which we operate. We want the natural environment you enjoy today to be here tomorrow and for every tomorrow after. That’s why we are Hawaii’s first Dolphin SMART-recognized operator. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Dolphin SMART program educates guests about dolphin conservation and advises not to seek activities that pursue close interactions like swimming with dolphins in Hawaii in the wild. We also follow the guidelines of the Coral Reef Alliance, to establish lasting change and promote coral reef health around the world. That includes sustainable practices — such as not feeding fish. Coral conservation aims to save these valuable ecosystems, unite communities and preserve cultural identity. For decades, we’ve been wowing guests of all ages in Hawaii. And while provide exciting experiences for our guests, we practice the highest level of safety in everything we do. We treat guests like ohana , the Hawaiian word for “family,” which permeates everything we do.

Family was in town & I was looking for fun & affordable things to do, so I took them on the Sunset Cruise. So glad I went with Pink Sails! 100% recommend!

Thank you Captain Ryan, Duff and Morgan. THey really took the time to make this special. I’ve never snorkeled before and I felt really confident with them close by. We saw so many turtles and beautiful fish!!! Thank you for giving me such a wonderful memory!

The Sunset Cruise is very affordable and a great evening activity!

Good music, good conversations, and great views of the sunset and fireworks. Captain Brandon was great. There were a ton of boats on the water for the show and he made sure they put us in the prime spot for our Friday fireworks show. Thanks guys for an amazing birthday cruise.

We had the best experience ever this morning with the turtles! The crew was amazing and had a great sense of humor! Will definitely book again in the future!

Frequently asked questions, when should i arrive for the tour.

To make sure you catch your tour without a hitch, we suggest arriving 45 minutes ahead of your scheduled time. Being prompt helps us kick things off on time for everyone’s enjoyment. Unfortunately, if you’re late and miss the boat, we won’t be able to offer refunds.  Your understanding is greatly appreciated!

Where is the pickup location?

Tour Reviews

We saw turtles playing near the corals! It was a very amazing sight to see! Next time we get back to Hawaii I’d do this same tour again!

This tour would not only make you see turtles but a lot of colorful fishes and other sea animals! I’m glad I took my kids in this tour! It was educational and fun!

I highly recommend this tour! We saw turtles floating and breathing for air the moment we stopped at the Turtle Canyon! Then at the bottom, we saw turtles and a lot of reef fishes cleaning their shells! Super cool stuff to witness!

Andrea, Ali, and Sofia were absolutely amazing! My boyfriend and I had so much fun! We saw lots of sea turtles and different species of fish! The crew was so kind, and Andrea especially took excellent care of us. I would highly recommend this outting to anyone visiting the island!
