*Ko Olina Morning Snokel + Lunch* We spent a week in Ko Olina and this was, by far, one of the highlights of our whole vacation. From first contact of arranging our charter until we docked, it was a first class experience all way. And yet it was reasonably priced for how inclusive it was. When I initially contacted them to ask about a few special dietary needs we had in our party and if they could switch up the menu for us, they didn't skip a beat and were totally accommodating. They ended up preparing the most delicious lunch for us. It was top notch, Next up was getting to the boat. The Mana Kahi was absolutely beautiful, so well cared for, had perfect amenities, and a stellar crew. Captain Daniel and Miranda took incredible care of our family of 6. Captain Daniel was professional and laid back. So easy to spend 3 hours with. He showed his true colors when we stopped and he dove out to rescue a sea turtle that had gotten caught up man made debris. He was perfectly accommodating to my dad too, talking shop about the boat. Miranda was as sweet as could be, anticipated and took care of our every need, even giving some special attention to our kiddo who took a liking to her. The weather couldn't have been more perfect too as we motored out to our snorkeling spot, which was relatively private. Captain knew the area well and even went out looking for what kind of sea creatures we could find. Beautiful fish, a sea turtle, and even spotting a large pod of dolphins within a nice distance to our anchor point. Once the wind picked up, we had a nice sail back into the marina. I can't recommend Mana Cruises and this experience enough. We would definitely love to do it again on a future visit.

We traveled to Oahu and actually had two excursions with Mana cruises. Both were equally fantastic and highly recommend. At no point did we feel like one of the overcrowded tourist trap snorkeling boats. Prior to our cruises, I found the company to be incredibly responsive to questions and they made sure to gather information on us to help make our trip extremely personalized. Our private snorkeling trip was at the beginning of our vacation and both Austin and Matteo were incredible hosts. They had a high level of attentiveness to the entire family and made us feel incredibly welcomed. Matteo was wonderful as a snorkel guide by showing/teaching us about the marine life and even going so far as to free dive with our go-pro to video a sleeping Sea Turtle that he had found. I know that the marine life can be unpredictable but we were able to see up close and personal: Star Fish, Sea Turtles, and a large pod of spinner dolphins. Trip would have been wonderful even without seeing all of the marine life but made it that much more spectacular.

Austin and Mateo were a wonderful crew! We saw dolphins and whales. Their hospitality was truly Hawaiian! Delicious food, drinks and snacks! Can't wait to plan our next excursion with them!

It was a wonderful experience for our family. Austin and Ku were very professional and friendly and Ku was very hands on offering us beverages and snacks throughout the trip and making sure we were very well taken care of. He was especially great with our young daughters and very attentive to them in the water and out. Austin managed to contact other boat captains so I could achieve my dream of observing humpback whales out in the ocean. The size and facilities on the boat also blew all our minds especially my kids! They loved exploring it. We will definitely book you guys again when we are back in Oahu. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. Yours sincerely, Alicia Puran.

The 47 foot catamaran sailboat is immaculate. The crew is friendly and professional. The open bar features top shelf liquor. The food is fresh, delicious and remarkably healthy. What’s not to like about Mana cruises? What’s not to love? I have been on more than 20 private sailing charters in my life and this cruise out of Ko Olina is among the top two. I’ll explain why it’s not the best ever later. First the crew keeps the boat in immaculate condition. It is 20 years old, but looks brand new. Gorgeous interiors and a beautiful array of seating. This boat can easily hold 15-20 passengers, but they limit guests to six. It makes for a wonderfully intimate and pampered experience. Everyone is treated like a VIP. We began our morning with mimosas and a safety briefing. Then Captain Daniel went over the itinerary with us. He also offered choices, so we could change it, if we desired. We chose sailing, snorkeling, fishing, drinking and gorging ourselves on fresh wraps, fruit, cheeses and chips. The food was delicious, but not cooked fresh to order. Other charters we have been on cooked fresh fish or other island treats. Manas food was fresh, delicious and healthy. However, it was not gourmet. That’s all that prevented this charter from being our best ever. As it is, it was tied for the best ever. The snorkeling was world class. The captain joined us to take us on a tour of the reef. The equipment was all new and in great condition. They also offered a raft, so my wife could float in the water, while everyone else snorkeled. The crew was amazingly attentive, from serving drinks to baiting our fish hooks. We could not have asked for more from this charter, except for upgraded food. Still, this was one of the two best (out of 20) private charters we’ve ever experienced. You will not be disappointed!

This was hands down the best part of our trip to Hawaii! We did a lot of cool things but this one raises all the way to the top of the list. Captain Daniel and Emmanuela were awesome! They took us to a really cool snorkeling site where we saw tons of fish, star fish, turtles, sea cucumber and even a white tip reef shark! On our way back saw a bunch of dolphins. This will be one perfect birthday I will remember forever! Thank you Captain Daniel, Emmanuela and Mana Cruises!!

My family and I had the pleasure of sailing with Captain Jacob and Olivia! They delivered the utmost hospitality and made us feel at home. It was a beautiful and fun filled day! We snorkeled with beautiful fish and saw a few turtles! We enjoyed every minute of the trip!! If you want to have an experience of a lifetime I highly recommend booking a day with Mana! We definitely will be sailing with them again! A hui hou!!!

I cannot recommend this charter enough. We did a private morning snorkel cruise with our kids. From now on we will be booking for the whole day. The crew was awesome and really catered to the kids to make sure they got the full experience and saw as much sea life as possible. Captain Daniel and his crew were top notch and made sure we were well taken care of. We will be booking a cruise every trip with them. Awesome trip and can’t say thank you enough for showing the kids the time of their life.

I'm embarrassed that I never left a review for this!! I meant to, and must have forgotten. I STILL think about how awesome this was-and man, I hope to one day go again. I cannot highly recommend this ENOUGH. I went with my husband on a day trip for our honeymoon, and another couple joined us. I thought the guys were phenomenal and mind you, this was over a year ago and I HAD to write a review. They even recommended a restaurant in our hotel, that we had not considered going to, and OH MY GOODNESS, another memorable time was had there. Seriously, if you are on the fence about this, BOOK IT. It is hands down worth every penny. I adored this and my husband and I still say this was the best thing from our trip :). Thank you so much-and my sincerest apologies for taking forever to review this! ***We did not travel anywhere in 2020, just a heads up, this is for our trip in October 2019***

We had an amazing trip with Austin and Rodney! We saw whales, pods of dolphins, a monk seal, and the snorkeling was awesome. Rodney brought up great things from the bottom, including a small octopus. The lunch was delish! Austin and Rodney were very informative and interactive. The yacht is amazing!!!! We loved every minute!
