Rave Reviews

Traveling at the age of 20 with your friends is a guaranteed fun time but when you do amazingly fun excursions like the Makani Catamaran, it just makes your vacations a thousand times better! My friends and I had such a great time thanks to your amazing staff. They’re very nice and very helpful. I’ve been on the catamaran three times and every time it just seems to get better and better. I highly recommend Makani Catamaran, MAHALO!!! oh and we saw turtles and DOLPHINS on our sail, IT WAS AMAZING!!!

This was by far the best catamaran we have been on! The staff is AMAZING. The crew is so helpful and funny. They make you feel like your part of their crew for sure. We loved spending time on the water and hearing all they had to say about the islands and animals. The captain was great! We will be doing this again!

We saw a sea turtle and a group of dolphins followed us for a while and did some "tricks". No whales on this trip but the crew made the experience fun by telling jokes and talking about the animals.

I can't say enough nice things about our trip on the Makani Catamaran! The staff were warm and friendly, the drinks we're tasty and the views were breathtaking. We had the opportunity to stand in the Captain's Galley and take photos. Captain Jon was so accommodating and thoughtful - he even offered to take our picture. This is one experience you do not want to miss out on! Highly recommend.

The boat was in great shape, staff was very professional and committed to safety. I appreciated that more than anything. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting the Island, the views are well worth it. Great value trip!

So, full disclosure I was pretty skeptical that this would be fun at all. In fact, this was totally my wifes idea. That said, of all the things we did in Hawaii, this ended up being one of my favorites. We had been doing pushing ourselves pretty hard for several days up to this point and it was just really nice to sit back for a couple hours with drinks in hand and hang out as a family. We sat on the netting in the front and our 9,7, and 5 year old kids thought it was awesome to watch the water go by underneath and at one point even had some dolphins following us. 100% would suggest and will definitely do again.

I am so happy that I booked this during our trip to Hawaii. The crew was nice, hospitable, and very engaging. They made the sail super fun for everyone on board. Our captain was even able to show us sea turtles and a whale, even though we were not promised that when booking! Plus there was a full service bar and the drinks were awesome! I would definitely recommend to everyone. It is definitely worth it.

Great groupon experience - Makani Catamaran

Great groupon experience

I was lucky enough to come across this Groupon for an afternoon sail before our trip to Hawaii. This was our 3rd trip to Oahu and our son's first. We had an afternoon sail for 2. Our son was free as he was under 3. I had a couple of questions before I went, and they were answered promptly via email. Very friendly staff, we had great weather and we even saw a turtle. This was a good activity for families, couples, those wanting to get out on the water and not necessarily focused on a snorkel trip. It was just great being out there catching the rays and the scenery.

Had a great time sailing on the Makani! The catamaran is spacious and the crew is outstanding. Great view of Waikiki and Diamondhead. We saw turtles and flying fish. Dolphins had been spotted earlier in the day

Sailing on the beautiful catamaran at sunset while sipping a drink is beautiful enough - but on Friday nights they stay out an extra half hour so you can watch the fire works display put on by the Hilton Hawaiian Village! Great staff, they pick you up and drop you off - can't be beat!

Despite the problems with the reservations staff, I found Makani to be a great value. The sailing was superb, and the crew was very friendly. I highly recommend Makani for those visiting Honolulu.

It was a very relaxing sail on a modern catamaran. The journey was two hours and ended too soon. I could have taken on a third hour.

We took the 1-3 pm afternoon sail. It was a very nice ride, my parents who are in their 60s really enjoyed it. The price included a free drink (a cocktail or beer, or juice type if you choose to). Resting on one of their nets as the boat sailing in the sea is definitely an enjoyable experience. Depending on when you go, you may be able to spot schools of dolphins if lucky. The Captain we had was nice enough to give us a ride back to our hotel at Waikiki since he's going the same direction. All in all, a nice sailing experience.

Great overall experience! Crew and captain were very friendly and engaging with all the guest. My 9y/o and 15y/o had such a great time they wished they were able to stay out in the water longer.

Kids had fun!

Great thing to do with a bigger family, kept all the kids together and busy all on 1 boat!

quick day on the water, nice as it does not take up your full day, but gives you a good safe way to snorkel for a few hours!

Amazing crew makes unforgettable trip!!!!

From beginning to end the crew made everything easy, relaxing, fun and super special!!!! They were excellent with giving instructions and support to make us feel confident and comfortable in the water. The special atten ... more tion to my 8yo daughter was above and beyond!
