We’ll depart from the Ala Wai Boat Harbor and cruise along the reefs watching surfers pass by. As we search for the perfect moorage keep an eye on the water as we may see Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins, Humpback Whales (Seasonally), Green Sea Turtles and even Flying Fish.
After mooring we will get you in and under the sea to view our array of tropical fish, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, eels and much more! Have fun jumping off the boat or relaxing on the water’s edge. As an exclusive cruise, we will not be snorkeling near the masses and will always find our other preferred reefs.

Great way to get out on the water with a smaller group - Great trip for anyone who wants something less crowded than your typical snorkel trip. High quality boat and crew, with a tasty (gluten allergy accommodating) lunch!

Great Experience with Mana Cruises - Aloha,
We just visited Oahu in May and wanted to share our experiences with Mana Cruises. This was our third trip with Mana and we will not go with anyone else.
On our recent trip, we did the Exclusive Snorkel + Lunch Cruise in Waikiki and the Captain’s Sunset and Tasting in Ko Olina. We were treated like family from the first phone call to make the reservation to the last photo we took with the crew.
Safety was a priority throughout both cruises. All the equipment was very clean, and the boat was spotless and very comfortable. They even had a warm freshwater rinse ready when you came out of the water!
If you have never snorkeled or been in the water, the crew took great care to make sure everyone, no matter what your experience level, was comfortable. SeaAnna actually stayed with me the entire time I was in the water and kept checking on how I was doing. This allowed my husband to snorkel with others who were more experienced.
The food was amazing on both cruises and the table even had flowers on it! They had various choices for drinks as well as snacks. If you have any dietary requests or food allergies, you can also enjoy a delicious lunch without any worries
We have taken other cruises with many guests onboard, but once you take a cruise with Mana and share your experience with 6 people, you will understand why Mana is our only choice.
Mahalo to Ella for her great communication skills and to Austin, SeaAnna, Brandon, Mash and Marco who made these cruises the highlight of our Oahu vacation

Best private charter in Oahu - I have now booked mana cruises 3 times. Captain Mateo is awesome we had him twice. After doing a private tour in Waikiki he suggested next time to do a whale watch in ko'olina and it was so cool. Took my kids with me and they loved it. The best crew, they honestly make the whole trip but also the boats are beautiful and amazing service

The biggest splurge on the trip and well worth it! - We went back and forth before pulling the trigger on the private all day cruise with Mana Cruises. We wanted some boat time but did not want to be on the boat with a bunch of other people that we don't know. Safety was also a consideration as our kids had never been snorkeling, and I wasn't sure what to expect.
We got a call the day before our cruise from Ella to make sure that we didn't have any concerns, and to verify that their menu selections were to our liking. On the day of the cruise, Captain Daniel and First Mate Kawika were amazing. They were like part of the family, customizing the day based off what we wanted, starting with the music selection on the boat to the route of travel. When the seas got a little rough for us newbies, they adjusted the route and we felt immediate relief.
We felt safe and taken care of the entire time.
The highlights - snorkeling with Kawika, seeing turtles, a huge pod of dolphins, and lots of sea life including a breach of a humpback whale!
Capped off by a sunset captain's tasting, this was truly an experience to remember. We would highly recommend this experience for the more discerning travelers or family looking for a first class experience to remember!

You won't regret booking!! - Favorite day of our entire trip. Captain Mash was incredible and so was first mate Corinne. They made the day awesome. We saw a huge pod of spinner dolphins. Randomly had a brush with a Marlin that turned into a fishing hunt to catch it. If you are doing one thing on the water this would be the thing to do!! we will definitely re book when we come back.
ps. also ask Captain Mash for his foodie list ;)

Absolutely Worth Booking!! - We had such a good time with Mana Cruises. The boat was gorgeous, and the crew was friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely attentive.
While snorkeling, our guide made us feel totally confident in the water even as complete beginners. This was the last activity of our vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to end our trip!

Great day on the water with Mana - My family and I had an amazing day on the water with Mana. The crew was super nice and the boat is a major upgrade from anything else we have found in Waikiki! Couldn’t have been better.

If you are looking for a private and elevated experience on the water, MANA Cruises is it! - If you are looking for a private and elevated experience on the water, MANA Cruises is it!! We had a wonderful experience with Mash and his crew for a private birthday celebration on the yacht. The yacht is SUPER NICE! It is extremely comfortable – plenty of areas to relax, nice restrooms, and well-equipped with everything you might need. The entire crew provided such warm hospitality from the start. They served food, drinks, snacks, etc., and made sure that we were all having a good time. I felt safe on-board, and in the ocean, because they are knowledgeable and experienced. Our group had the privilege of seeing a manta ray, a bunch of breaching humpback whales, and a beautiful sunset in an intimate setting. I highly recommend MANA Cruises!!
