    We had an amazing time on this two hour turtle sail. We were originally booked for a sunset cruise and our plans got delayed. Maya our reservation lady was super helpful in rebooking us for the turtle cruise. Communication with her was fast and great! Once we made it to our sail the staff greeted us with open arms. They were extremely helpful in explaining what we were going to do and talking and conversing with us throughout the entire sail. They were very friendly and approachable. Austin was a Jack of all trades who jumped into the ocean and dove down to anchor the boat near the reef we were snorkeling. Once we were done snorkeling he made a few awesome adult beverages! They were very affordable compared to the city bars and restaurants. And yes we definitely saw turtles and a lot of fishes!! A definite must for anyone considering.

    Did the snorkeling one and saw tons of turtles and fishes. There were two turtle that high-fived each other on top a reef. Saw a group of dolphins out of the water and could hear them in the water while snorkeling. The equipment was clean and amazing crew.

    This was an amazing experience! The crew was great, efficient, knowledgeable and fun. We had a great time swimming, wish we would have brought goggles but still had such a fun time in the water. The sunset was a bit obscured by a storm but we still got great colors in the sky. Would definitely do this again!

    I booked the sunset cruise and had the time of my life! First we sailed out and anchored and were given time to snorkel and swim! This was so much fun and we were able to see different sea life. After we were all done swimming the bar was open for drinks and snacks. The drinks were great. We sailed out and were able to see whales jumping out of the water. The boat wasn’t completely full so the captain Ryan, who was amazing, allowed us to take steer the boat and take pictures behind the wheel. He also taught me more about the island and was extremely knowledgeable. The night ended with an amazing view of the sunset. I would take this sunset tour one hundred times over! Highly recommend.

    We went on the sunset and firework cruise on Friday night and had a great time! I highly recommend arriving 45 minutes before departure as the boat fills up quick and the best spots are the tables in limited quantity on the top deck. The only con was that the bathrooms got pretty smelly during the second half of the trip 😅

    Went on the sunset cruise and it did not disappoint. The weather was fantastic, the sunset was amazing and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Alexio, Duff and other did an amazing job. Managed to go swimming for like 45 minutes of the tour. Drinks onboard were well priced, the whole experience is a 5/5. Would 100% recommend for anyone of any age to try it!

    Did the swimming with the turtles excursion with my son and it was absolutely wonderful! It was about a 10 minute ride out to the location and they gave us about 40 minutes to swim with the turtles. Snorkel, mask and fins were provided. Took a nice trip back to the marina and they opened the sail and let the wind take us in. The young men that were our tour guides and captain were amazing and very very nice. Definitely recommend this trip.

    A wonderful experience! I did both the turtle snorkeling and sunset cruise. Both were delightful. Snorkeling with turtles is a special experience, especially when you have the right gear to make it comfortable and enjoyable. They provide flippers, floating device, anti-fog spray, and the snorkel goggles. We saw several turtles and an abundance of fish :) the sunset cruise was also delightful. Swimming optional! The crew, Alexio, Eric, and Morgan (can’t remember third member’s name), were great! They were professional, knowledgeable, safe, yet fun and made sure everyone had a great experience. There was also a photographer on board, Seth, with the turtle snorkeling. I opted in for these photos and I just love them! I’ll have ‘em forever! Thanks again everyone! And I highly recommend this tour! I found it to be reasonably priced and everything was better than expected! Do it!!!

    Captain Mike and crew were skilled and did a fine job getting us to lots of turtles. And Carlton went above and beyond with customer service. Helped folks on and off, with gear issues, and was especially good to encourage this traveler who was skeptical about getting in the ocean. I did. It was magnificent. And Carlton gets an A+ rating for helping me through! God bless him. Had a once-in-a-lifetime, great sea turtle snorkling experience with my daughter because of him!

    Awesome boat ride and service! Alexia was apart of the crew, that’s the only name I can remember. We swam near turtles and saw lots of fish! Free snacks and water on board, as well as other refreshments to purchase. Every one was super kind and fun! Definitely recommend! Best pricing around! 🏝

    Alexia, Jerry, Ryan and the doggie we’re amazing. Did see whales but too fast to capture pictures. They were entertaining and, worked hard to find whales. Even helped a homeless man that fell in water by the docks before our trip.

    Amazing experience! Highly recommend Pink Sails Waikiki for all of your excursion experiences. I joined their team on 5 trips in a matter of a few days. Snorkeling, whale watching and sunset cruise were all 10/10. Staff was knowledgeable, friendly & fun. Boat was clean and spacious. Overall 10/10 experience!

    Staff was friendly and fun. High energy. Made the trip enjoyable. There are other boats also in the area swimming with the turtles while in the water, it gets crowded. Expect to swim and hit other divers or get hit. Get the picture package, it's worth it, if you have an iPhone, it will be downloaded on to your phone instantly. Google shared by the next day w/all other phones.

    Alexio, the captain, was amazing. Not sure if he’s working two jobs on the island: comedian by day and sailor by night. Even though we couldn’t anchor due to high winds, we went on an adventure out around diamond head which made the experience enjoyable. Overall a great time and would suggest this cruise to anyone.

    If you want a rad experience on a boat go with Pink Sails Waikiki! They had an excellent crew with a super fun captain! We loved swimming off the boat and watching the sunset. The best part was each person in our group got a turn at driving the boat! We definitely will be back and will bring all of our friends who come to visit 💙🤙🏼🌺 Mahalo!

    The sunset cruise on the catamaran was awesome. Very peaceful and relaxing. I didn't swim in the ocean (I was cold) but next time I'll go during the day. The crew was fabulous❣

    Brandon and crew were outstanding. We did back to back snorkel and sunset cruise with them and enjoyed every moment. Saw lots of reef fish, a turtle, and an eel of some sort. Saw a submarine and a rainbow too! Pretty cool watching the sub surface and dive. Would love to go back out again with them.

  • 5/5 Christine Meghan M. 4 months ago on Google
    Pink Sails was a wonderful experience to snorkel with sea turtles! The crew (Brandon, Jesse, Morgan) was clear, kind, funny, and helpful for the entire experience. They emphasized having respect for sea turtles, safety for guests, and provided a few jokes along the way. I would highly recommend this sea turtle snorkel company!!

    Great cruise, awesome crew! Capt. Lex, Jonah and Mike were amazing, made the trip so much fun!

  • 4/5 Nicole 2 years ago on Google
    Had an enjoyable time. Alekio, Brandon and crew were really cool. Saw absolutely beautiful sunset. If you're planning to swim in the water bring a pair of goggles to get a better look at the bottom. All in all a chill and relaxed ride.

  • 5/5 Alex Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing group of people. Friendly staff and the reef they take you to is beautiful! Definitely recommend doing the picture package if available. A must do in Waikiki!

  • 5/5 A m. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I did a Sunset Cruise with Pink Sails and had a great time. The crew took us from Moana Beach to Waikiki and then set us up to see the beautiful sunset. We got tons of great pictures with help from the crew. The crew was super fun and the music was really good- chilled out reggae and some 90's hip hop. We would definitely sign up for another experience with Pink Sails, especially if we could get the same crew again- Alexio, Jessie , and I don't remember the other one's names. Maybe Jonas?

  • 5/5 Angela L. 4 months ago on Google
    Another spectacular experience with Pink Sails! I booked a sunset cruise for family while they were in town and we all had a blast! Great sunset, chill vibe, and excellent crew. Alexio, Kainoa, and Morgan were top notch! They kept us safe, entertained, and were gracious with guests. Alexio and Kainoa came around and chatted everyone up. Morgan showcased his expert dive skills while finding our mooring and brought back a sea urchin for us to see. I highly recommend booking Pink Sail’s sunset cruise for a fun evening with a partner, family, or a group of friends!

  • 5/5 Peter Olson (Peter O. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a good time. Great crew, fun tour. Bring your suit to enjoy a swim (and if you're lucky you'll see some turtles). Then a relaxing sail with drinks and snacks while watching sunset. We even had a whale sighting before heading back in. If you are visiting Waikiki, definitely book a trip with Pink Sails!

  • 5/5 Agnieszka L. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome company and experience! We went on the whale watching trip and it was great! The first time we went there was no whales so the company was nice enough to provide us with another day to go out and see some whales. The crew on the other day was Alexio, Jimmy, and Tommy. They were super great and really made the experience ten times better! 10/10 would really recommend going here because the views and the crew are amazing!

  • 5/5 Elizabeth P. 1 year ago on Google
    I loved every second being on this boat, it was very beautiful and definitely memorable. Alexio and the 2 other guys were great and funny! They definitely make you feel comfortable and are friendly to talk to :) my first time visiting Hawaii and I highly recommend visiting pink sails! They even sang me happy birthday and let me drive the boat which was definitely something I’ll never forget.

  • 5/5 Willyangellittlegirl 1 year ago on Google
    We had a great time on the Sunset Cruise. Got to swim right in front of Waikiki beach in super clear water, (next time I’ll bring my snorkel) had some great cocktails, and watched the most beautiful sunset. The staff was super attentive and they made sure we got great photos. Best ending to our week vacation. Thanks Mike and Jason for the hospitality. We can’t wait to do it again. Mahalo

    We had a great time on this whale watching tour. The boat ride was fun even as we all got splashed a bit. The people on board the boat were great to talk to as we all shared many stories. We did see some whales and sea turtles but the best party was really seeing the sights and relaxing at sea. The crew was super friendly and did everything they could to make this a fun excursion. They even have a bar onboard. I highly recommend this cruise if you are looking for a fun way to spend the afternoon in the water.

  • 5/5 Allan W. 2 years ago on Google
    Man, where to start? Alexio was our captain, Mike and Jesse were his mates. These guys were so much fun. You can tell they love their jobs and love to have fun. Always helpful and courteous. Music selection was perfect. Highly recommend this crew and service. The sunset cruise was perfect.

  • 5/5 Smittyz S. 2 years ago on Google
    Brandon, Mike and Eddie were fantastic guides. We have been on a few trips like this but Pink Sails Waikiki was the best. We saw whales, dolphins and turtles. The trip also included fun water splashing. The Pink Sails Waikiki is a great company for a great day out.

  • 5/5 Lisa M. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the best time! Caught views of 6 or 7 whales including a mama and her babies 😀 Alexio and crew were professional, fun, and knowledgeable. Hubby even drove the charter 😀 Highly recommended and looking forward to another tour!

  • 5/5 Angie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Ryan, Jonah, and Alexio were amazing! We had a wonderful time and they were great at pointing out things to see! We had a wonderful sunset with fantastic drinks and even got to see a whale playing near by! We went on our last full night in Hawaii but would definitely go back again!

👍👍 Fun and educational submarine tour from Waikiki. The tour starts with the boat ride from Waikiki Hilton pier to the dive site, transfer to the submarine and then diving below.
