    This was the highlight of our trip to Hawaii. You will have a fabulous time in a medium sized yacht chasing dolphins and enjoying the sunset. We got lucky with the weather and had only 15 on the boat. It felt like a private charter with 4 families. The yacht was large enough for all of us to have private spots. Laying on the top of the boat watching the crisp skies, seeing dolphins tease us and swin alongside us at the bow, watching the sun set... it all felt like a scene out of a movie. The crew could not have been friendlier and we were in cloud nine as we sailed back into the dock. This is an experience like no other. Thank you.

    My boyfriend and I had an amazing time on the afternoon sail and snorkel. The sail on the catamaran was very nice and breezy. The snorkel location was great as we saw a lot of fish and even sea turtles! I would highly recommend purchasing the fish food because they will swarm around you. Lunch was served after the snorkel and unlimited drinks are served on board. Also, you get 3 free cocktails if you’re 21+. The staff was very nice and welcoming. Would 100% recommend!!!

    Went on their cat for sailing and snorkeling. All female crew was amazing!! Caption Travis is lucky! The gals worked like a single flawless unit. They didn’t have to even talk- just gave each other hand signals. They were perfect. Also great ambassadors for the company and for Hawaii. They took great care of us. The caption was great. Strict but laidback and very nice. He knows his stuff! Found us a perfect spot just off the reef where we saw a TON of amazing fish. Also he happened to spot a pod of dolphins and slowly motored up to them to where they were literally next to the boat. Would HIGHLY recommend this. One petty complaint - the lunch didn’t include a pickle…

    Good check in. Nice boat. Crew were professional as well as friendly. Rules were explained well. Scuba equipment was clean and safe. The Crew was helpful and encouraged the novice snorkelers for a good experience. Food was pulled pork, BBQ chicken, rice and salad. All good tasting. Good assortment of soda and juice to drink before snorkeling. Beer, wine and mixed drinks available after.

    I cannot say enough good things about Captain Travis and his crew on Ko Olina Ocean Adventures. My family consisting of me, my wife and two children ages 9 and 11 went out on the Oahu Sunset Sailing Cruise. Everything is well thought out and a breeze, from checking in to boarding the beautiful boat everything is amazing. Once everyone is on board (about 20 people in total), a quick safety brief is conducted. You then can sit wherever you would like aboard the ship and the staff brings drinks to you. About halfway through the staff comes and brings each person a snack box with deli meat, cheeses, and crackers. The ocean was a little choppy the night we went, but Captain Travis knew exactly how to navigate the sea. My one child is prone to sea sickness but was completely fine. At the end of the tour the boat returns to the marina and the staff sets everyone shoes on the deck as they assist you off the deck. We had an absolutely wonderful night out!! We had a snorkel excursion booked with another company but decided to cancel with the other company and rebook with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures due to the amazing time we had on the sunset sailing. We booked the Morning Sail and Snorkel Cruise. Captain Travis again was the captain along with the helping hands of Kisane and other helpful staff. The cruise starts off with a fun sailing out to the snorkel spot near Electric Beach. Staff is busy taking drink orders and handing out gear as you sail and take in the great views. Once at the snorkel spot two lifeguards are in the water at all times, keeping a watchful eye over everyone and pointing out some cool fish. After a good amount of time snorkeling, everyone gets back aboard the boat and lunch is provided (a very good deli type turkey sandwich). The cruise ends with a nice sail back to the marina. We liked that we were finished before the heat of the day, and had the rest of the day to hang by the pool. I once again can’t say enough about Ko Olina Ocean Adventures. It is a very safe, very efficient operation and these two excursions were amongst my families favorite during our near two-week trip to the island. The staff on board especially Kisane are great to talk to and very engaging! We absolutely will be booking both trips again our next time on the island.

    We had a wonderful sunset cruise tonight. Not much of a sunset because it was cloudy but the crew was so nice and friendly. It was windy so we were able to sail a bit. We saw whales and beautiful scenery. Nice snacks and drinks. I would recommend.

    Top quality crew! I would hire any of them if they ever wanted a desk job (but I have a feeling they wouldn't want to leave their post on the ship!) Our family had a great time on the boat, and when our 3 year old didn't want to hang out in the water any more, the crew took care of him for 20 minutes while the rest of our family were able to enjoy the amazing snorkeling. We saw lots of fish, swam with dolphins and I just managed to miss the sea turtle, but my daughter was very excited that she got to see it! The boat was very nice and clean and like I mentioned before, the crew was great! It was my wife's favorite part of the whole vacation and we'll be back there next time we are on Oahu! In other words... Highly Recommended!

    Great boat trip & pygmies sighted. Water was tough for snorkeling, but can't control the water. Some fish & a huge turtle. Lunch buffet was excellent with nice variety of drinks. Would recommend!

  • 5/5 Michelle Z. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been on both the Daytime Snorkel and Sunset Cruise. Both were fantastic! Great, helpful crew. Delicious snacks and drinks. Saw tons of dolphins, fish and turtles. Beautiful views of the Waianae Mountains and coast. Great value, especially with the military or kamaaina discount. If you drive yourself, parking is 10$ in the Marina lot or free at Lagoon #4 if there's space.

    The Catamaran Sail and Snorkel from Ko Olina was amazing!! Big shoutout to the crew - Hunter, Travis, Jake and Matt for providing a professional and exciting experience on the trip. They provided top notch service and were very kind/knowledgeable. On the tour we were able to see dolphins, turtles, and a ton of fish. This excursion was above my expectations and even includes lunch/drinks. I would highly recommend this crew and trip for all others.

    Better than expected. The boat was not over crowded. Super friendly staff. They really try to make the best experience possible. The turkey sandwiches were delicious and the drinks were on point. I definately recommend this company when visiting the beautiful West Side of Oahu. Mahalo Ko Olina ocean adventures for the beautiful memories.

  • 5/5 Jaired H. 1 year ago on Google
    Travis, Grace, Kiley, and Jake were an amazing crew! So attentive to everyone, and the service was rapid. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. We saw dolphins and were given great information to explain the ocean and it's wildlife. 5/5!

    We had an absolutely amazing time. The boat was beautiful and clean, the supplies were clean, the food and drinks were delicious, the staff was AMAZING!!! They were helpful, knowledgeable, fun, and friendly. Special shout out to Jake who kept the little kids laughing the whole time. We will 100% do this again the next time we come down. Even my 7 year old tried snorkeling and loved it. Thank you!

    Our group took the sunset catamaran and it was absolutely amazing. The boat was spacious and comfortable, and the crew was friendly and knowledgeable. The scenery was breathtaking and we even saw some whales swimming near the boat! The drinks and music were also top notch, and it was a great way to relax and unwind. Overall, I highly recommend this catamaran trip to anyone looking for a fun and memorable experience. Five stars all the way

    A highlight of our trip & worth every penny! We opted for hotel pick-up- this went smoothly and ran on time. It was about a 45 minute ride from the Waikiki Sheraton. At arrival to the dock you have an opportunity to purchase shirts, hats and fish food + pick complimentary snacks. Once on board you get 3 inclusive alcoholic drinks (try the pirate special!) + included water, juice and soda& a boxed lunch. The boxed lunch was a delicious sandwich, pineapple& chips. We were lucky in seeing about 200 dolphins, a few sea turtles and a TON of beautiful fish. The staff could not have been friendlier and more accommodating. They were instructive and supportive about the snorkeling, accommodating in offering drink refills and to snap photos. They made for a fun and inviting atmosphere. We’ve done a lot of traveling and tours and I truly believe the tour guides make or break the experience- these guys were fantastic! Unfortunately someone on our ride got sea sick but the staff handled it like PROS! They were discrete, attentive, and gracious. I would do this tour again & will recommend to anyone I know traveling here.

    This tour was wonderful! The crew was so friendly and helpful. We saw a large turtle and a pod of about 15 dolphins during our snorkel. Lunch was good and filling. After the excursion we wanted to buy some if their uvf blocking shirts. They were out of the sizes we want, and Shannon offered to order some from the warehouse and deliver them to the marina the next day. All around a wonderful experience. We will do this again next time we are on Oahu

    Ko Olina Ocean Adventures provides an amazing snorkel experience. This outing was my family’s favorite day! The snorkeling was the best we had ever experienced. The staff was superb! So friendly and happy to answer any questions. Our next Oahu visit will include another snorkel trip with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 10 months ago on Google
    We went on the morning sail and snorkel and had a fantastic time. Captain Travis and the crew, Reese, Brandon and Ryan were all great. We had three boys 8.5, 8 and 6 and the crew was so great with them. With a group of all kinds of swim levels and comfort levels they were excellent at making sure everyone on the whole trip not just our group was comfortable and having a good time. Although not guaranteed we did see three turtles and a fairly large pod of dolphins during the sailing. We enjoyed the snacks and lunch and beverages. Would highly recommend them to anyone coming to Oahu.

  • 5/5 Yazmin M. 9 months ago on Google
    Our family had the most amazing day! The crew was so accommodating and really made an effort to connect with all of us. There are only 20 people + the crew on board so you always have a good seat and never wait in line for anything. The lunch was tasty and the drinks were amazing. Plus we saw a ton of wild life. I definitely would recommend booking your snorkeling cruise with them.

    Our snorkeling sail with Captain Travis was a great family experience! The whole outing was so easy, from parking, check in, sailing and snorkeling! Our whole family enjoyed the experience! Captain Travis and the whole crew were so friendly and made sure everyone was having a great time. And we saw lots a fish and two sea turtles! We will be back again!

  • 5/5 Sean D. 2 years ago on Google
    Our first time ever going on a catamaran cruise and all I can say is that the standard has been set extremely high!! The crew was extremely friendly, fun, professional, and accommodating. My family and I felt safe the whole time and we even got to see whales! I would hands down recommend Koalina Ocean Adventures to anyone looking for a fun relaxing cruise! Thank you so much, we will be back for sure!!
