Fun times on the water! - We enjoyed a great two-hour outing this afternoon with a fun crew! Pushing out to the water on time, we were on our way to the great blue water surrounding us. When the crew shut off the engine to raise the sails, all we had was the sound of the waves and the wind to tour us around. It was cool seeing the beach from our vantage point and catching sight of a turtle alongside us. Thanks, Makani Crew!

Enjoyable morning activity - Third time back on the same boat. Captain Brad and his staff are friendly and always a relaxing time on the water. You can sit on the mesh area in front or seating in covered areas and they sell drinks at the bar.

We also had a great time talking to the catamaran staff, they were so much fun and they took our pictures and told us about the areas we were seeing . Loved the experience. Will definitely recommend this excursion to friends and family.

Makani Catamaran Cruise - Captain and crew are great. Captain tries to get you up as close as possible but yet at a safe distance. Great tour.

Perfect ending to a perfect trip! - This was a perfect (and COVID-safe) way to end our trip. Did the sunset 2 hour cruise with all inclusive drinks. Not sure if they have larger groups during non-covid times, but it sold out, yet didn't feel crowded and there was room to walk around the boat to meet other people. Got our money's worth in drinks, views, sunset and a rainbow over Diamond Head. Very relaxing sitting at the back of the catamaran. Only suggestion is patience as they don't really organize lines for check-in, boarding, or the bar, so we self-organized a line at the bar to manage the "Karens and Steves" who were being rude or using their elbows to be "next." Overall: highly recommend!

Perfect sail & views - We lucked out with/ perfect weather. It's a large cat w/ a fair amount of seating, beverages only no snacks. small crew consisting of Miles, Gracie & Capt. Christine. We sailed for 2 hours and it was beautiful. BIG TY to Miles for sharing his sunscreen as I totally forgot mine! Would recommend especially for kids! Thanks

Breathtaking - We did the sunset cruise. It was breathtaking. My issue is I didn't have my "sea-legs" so it was a bit difficult for me to walk around. The cruise was just long enough. Take a sweater, that January breeze was pretty chilly!
