Hawaii Nautical runs an exceptionally well-regarded operation, and it shows in every detail. The crew consistently earns enthusiastic praise for being warm, funny, and genuinely attentive—names like Captain Joey, Chris, Natalie, Kelsey, and Ronnie come up repeatedly as standouts who create a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The snorkeling at Turtle Canyon delivers with excellent visibility, abundant sea turtles, and tropical fish, while the sunset cruises offer stunning views along the Waikiki coastline. Families especially appreciate how accommodating the crew is with little ones, and multiple reviewers call this the highlight of their entire Oahu trip. The catamaran provides a smooth, comfortable ride with complimentary drinks (including beer, wine, and cocktails) that guests love. One minor note: the food is serviceable but basic—think wraps or simple cold sandwiches rather than a proper meal, so arrive well-fed if you're hungry. That said, guests are overwhelmingly happy with the value, describing the experience as worth every penny. The crew's local knowledge, humor, and genuine care for making each trip memorable really sets this company apart from competitors.
This was an experience I will remember forever. The boat was a lovely boat. Captain and crew were fun and knowledgeable. And we saw more whales breaching than I would have thought possible. Within 15 min leaving harbor we tracked a small whale pod (3?) and they put on a show. Breaching and jumping multiple times per minute for 45 minutes straight! This was definitely a highlight of my trip!
