This was definitely the highlight of our trip! The cool ocean breeze was a lovely break from the daily humidity and heat! The scenery was amazing and we even saw a few turtles as well as a rainbow! Highly recommend this as a relaxing activity to make time for on your vacation! Captain Krash and Jordan were super friendly and Sushi the boat pup was adorable.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Aloha Taylan So happy to hear that you really enjoyed your time with our crew including Sushi our Pooch. We look froward to seeing you again....Carl

The sunset cruise I would do again if I come back again.

Charolette_N, Sep 2023

Nice and relaxing. Plenty of room to move around! Toilets if needed. Good music and great views. Captain Crash (who didn’t) and crew (Carlos and Sushi) were fun and laidback.

Take this tour!

Natalie_R, Sep 2023

Everything about the sunset cruise was perfect. Loved the captain and crew. The views were spectacular. Would do this tour again in an instant. Definitely a must do!

Captain Crash, Carlos and Sushi are the best!

Katrina_H, Aug 2023

It was a beautiful evening. The boat was not too crowded, plenty of nibbles, the crew and sushi the dog were fantastic! Highly recommend.

Perfect Sunset View

Susana_I, Aug 2023

I enjoyed everything from Sushi spotting turtles, to the Captain’s history lesson. I liked being able to move around and capture the beautiful scenery on camera. The music was perfect and it was a very smooth ride, very peaceful experience.

Was it worth it?

Nandini_C, Aug 2023

Is it worth it? A resounding "yes"! Between the gorgeous sunset, the turtles, fish and double rainbow, and the Captain's wonderful explanation of Waikiki's history, this cruise was definitely worth it. I wouldn't mind taking it again if I had the time.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Aloha Nandini Even though we had nothing to do with the beautiful sunset or Turtles The Captain and crew do try his best to make sure everyone has a good experience. We hope to see you next time you visit....Carl

Great short cruise!

JPatrickFahn, Aug 2023

Captain Crash and first mate Liza (sp?) we're awesome! We saw a couple of turtles (pointed out by the deck dog named "Sushi") and enjoyed great music and a beautiful sunset with a smattering of trivia. Would recommend without reservation!

Awesome!

Murray_H, Aug 2023

Totally awesome sunset cruise!. So entertaining and fun and really great value. Loved every minute and would definitely go again.

Look no further - this is the catamaran cruise for you!

Kimberly_B, Jul 2023

We had an absolutely amazing time on the Kahala Kai. This catamaran cruise really exceeded all of my expectations! I can't think of a single thing to be improved upon. It was just perfect evening and I couldn't ask for more. I was already impressed hours before the cruise when they called me with reminders about food and beverages (you can bring your own), directions, and to see if I had any questions. It was such a small touch, but it really set the tone for a welcoming, guest-focused experience. We saw many other catamarans out there with passengers shoulder to shoulder. We had 12 on our boat with plenty of room to get up, spread out, or sit on the net over the water. Captain Krash said they prefer smaller groups and it did offer a more intimate experience. It almost felt like you were on a friend's boat! They laid out a lovely spread of snacks including cheese, crackers, cookies, fruit, and chips. They also have drinks, including water and juices. You can also BYOB. Sushi the dog runs around in her rubber duckie pajamas to say hi to all of the guests. She was awesome and alerted us to turtles. She lays on the net (when she isn't catching a snooze) and barks when she sees turtles or dolphins. I've never seen anything like it. The hospitality was just so warm and welcoming. Captain Krash and Carlos were so kind and friendly. They offered lots of information about what we were seeing and they had a fantastic play list that was perfect for the evening. Carlose made sure everyone had what they needed and was happy to snap group pictures for you -- you didn't even have to ask! We had a great tour of Waikiki and spotted many turtles with Sushi's help. It was a wonderful time and I only wish my trip to Oahu was longer so I could do it again or join them on one of their snorkel cruises.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Aloha Kimberly, Wow I do not know what to say!! Thank You for the review. That has to be the best and longest review we have ever received. Yes we always limit the number of guests for our sunset and snorkel tour to 50% of our capacity for your comfort. I will be sure to let our crew Including our resident dog Sushi know that they did an excellent job...Carl

Awesome experience, good...

Louis_C, Jul 2023

Awesome experience, good value, and very unique experience. The catamaran was clean and comfortable, Crash the captain was kind and knowledgeable and the highlight of the journey was opening the sail on the return trip from Diamond Head to the marina

Worth doing!

Marcella_S, Jul 2023

Fun, memorable and low key. The captain was entertaining. Easy to board. Snacks and drinks provided. You can bring on your own alcoholic drinks. The boat dog Sushi was a highlight.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Aloha Marcell Thank you for joining us we are glad to hear that enjoyed your cruise with us and so is Sushi the wonder dog. Hope to see you again next time you are here in Honolulu......Carl

Great Sunset Cruise Experience

Julia_H, Jul 2023

Captain Crash was an excellent driver and tour guide for our sunset cruise experience. The boat was super easy to find on the dock and pushed off right on time. We were able to bring our own drinks and plastic champagne flutes to celebrate my friend's birthday. The Captain provided a spread of cheeses, crackers, fruits, and chips and has soft drinks and water readily available in a cooler. The ride was stunning and the Captain even pointed out a few turtles along the way. The night ended with a 15 minute fireworks display. Great evening!

A perfect Friday evening

Victoria_M, Jul 2023

Captain Krash and Carlos were great! It was a perfect balance of information, sightseeing and chill time. We met interesting people which was an added bonus. I would recommend doing this tour if you really want to enjoy the evening. We did it Friday night which also gave us a great view of the fireworks from the water.

Awesome Time

Jeffrey_T, Jul 2023

Wonderful time. Caption and assistant did a great job. Go on Friday to see also the fireworks that go off at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Aloha Jeffrey The fireworks on Friday's are sure a nice touch to end the day wit after a beautiful Hawaiian sunset The crew of Oahu Catamarans will be glad to know you enjoyed your time with them

Amazing cruise

John_C, Jul 2023

Enjoyable and relaxing cruise. Would highly recommend. Krash our Captain and first mate Carlos were pleasant, funny, and informative. Sunset viewing was amazing. Sushi our navigator was the highlight of our cruise🐾🦴

Don't miss this!

Debbie_J, Jun 2023

Wonderful experience for our family and especially my son-in-law who had never been to Hawaii. Capt Krash and crew made sure everyone was comfortable and happy. Snacks and soda/water were available but we opted to BYOB. We loved having the pup Sushi onboard as well. Capt played awesome music during the cruise and told us some very fun and informative stories about the area. He made sure we saw the turtles when they came by. Best part; the boat was NOT crowded! Lots of room and a wonderful experience for everyone onboard!

Sunset cruise

stephanie_k, Jun 2023

Great way to end our Hawaii vacation! The boat was beautiful, not overcrowded, had a bathroom and a space protected for rain. The snacks were great! I highly recommend this trip!

Highlight of our trip. Captain Krash is amazingly fun and engaging. very safety conscious unlike other similar tour vessels we saw that were obviously overloaded. Perfect for anyone and highly recommended.

Worth the time and money!
