Ash Scattering tour was perfection. - We did a sunset ash-scattering tour and it was perfection. The Pau Hana is a lovely boat and the crew, Flynn and Tay Min were absolutely so kind. Would love to take this tour again for a fun afternoon in the sun.

Birthday Private Sail - WOW what an amazing crew! So friendly, so professional, and so fun to talk to! The boat itself is very comfortable and luxurious with a variety of places to sit and lounge. The catamaran gives some added stability for smooth sailing too. We had a group of friends sail together for my birthday and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! Perfect way to relax and spend an evening out on the ocean!!!

Elite catamaran cruise - Amazing captain, crew, and owners !! They are a small family owned business. Catered to our every need. Felt right at home and comfortable immediately. I cannot wait to be back out on the water with them! I wish I could live on that boat and be on the water every day. I am beyond thrilled to review this company as a 5/5 star. Do yourself a favor and book them ASAP for a morning afternoon or sunset cruise. You will not regret it 👌🏼

Amazing sunset sail experience! - We went for a friend’s birthday party. The captain Jason, Mariah, and the rest of their crew were very friendly and attentive the entire tour. The charcuterie board was amazing complete with fire tomato jam for the Brie cheese. The whole experience was lovely and would definitely recommend!

A fantastic day on Waikiki Bay! - Our group of 7, ranging from 28 yrs old to 81 yrs old, had an incredible day on Waikiki Bay with Captain Jason and waterman Kevin. The boat is perfect for a group, even one larger than ours (if you have a larger group), and perfect for all ages. Jason and Kevin were as gracious and accommodating as we could ask. Jason is a TRUE sailor--ask him about his adventures! We enjoyed snorkeling, sailing, and lounging in the sun enjoying the weather and the views. Setting everything up with Mariah was easy and smooth. Our group has spent a fair amount of time on snorkeling and sailing trips all over the world, and Pau Hana was as nice an adventure as we've ever had. We booked 3 hours and ended up extending our time. I cannot recommend them highly enough! BJM

Lovely to work with! - Even though we weren’t able to go on our scheduled cruise due to rough weather, I have to give Pau Hana Sailing full marks for being wonderful to work with. They kept us posted on changing weather conditions, took our priorities into consideration, and made it so easy when we all agreed it would be best to cancel. We look forward to taking a sail with them on our next trip to Oahu!

Beautiful family sunset sail - highly recommend! - We had an amazing time with Pau Hana Sailing. Captain Jason and crew Mariah took incredible care of my family with ages ranging from 4-75. Jason and Mariah are caring, kind, and seasoned sailors with extensive knowledge of Hawai'i, the ocean ecosystem, and sailing in general. We had a beautiful time watching the sun go down along the Honolulu & Waikiki coast. It was the perfect concluding activity for our Thanksgiving holiday. Highly recommend this unique opportunity to get out on the water and see the island from the ocean!!

Not worth it - Dont get me wrong on the rating, crew was very good and took care of us all the time time, they are professional and polite, but not worth the money, it is very expensive for what they offer regardless of climate conditions, that’s all Im going to say Arrived a bit late, about 15 minutes, tour was less than 2 hrs, tough was going to be 2 hrs or 2.5 hrs, no magic carpet, no snorkeling
