👍👍 So happy we chose Oahu Catamarans! I researched multiple sunset cruise companies and am so glad this was the one we went on--definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Captain Krash, Jordan, and Sushi the pup are the best crew. Sushi is SO cute and will let you know when there is turtles around!... People often mention Krash, turtles, sunset, Captain, Jordan, Sushi, boat, great, crew, experience,

    So happy we chose Oahu Catamarans! I researched multiple sunset cruise companies and am so glad this was the one we went on--definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Captain Krash, Jordan, and Sushi the pup are the best crew. Sushi is SO cute and will let you know when there is turtles around! Captain Krash gave lots of info about the history of Waikiki beach and Honolulu and Jordan was very friendly and helpful. He had this awesome constellation app that he showed everyone on the boat and took pictures for people. They have a nice little spread of food for snacks, and you can BYOB if you want to drink alcohol. They had water and soda provided. The sunset views were incredible and there were plenty of chances to get pictures. Overall it was such a fun experience and I would definitely book with Oahu Catamarans over other companies if I come back to Honolulu.

    I had a truly magical time on the sunset/firework cruise! The snacks were actually really awesome and not just some cheap snacks. The crew on this boat made the experience seriously amazing and my favorite part of my whole trip!! I unfortunately don’t remember their names but the the Captian gave us some very interesting info while sailing around not to mention some top notch dad jokes and the deck hand was one of the sweetest people I have ever met, I wanted to be her friend by the end of the boat ride lol The fireworks and sunset from the ocean were beyond magical and the other guests on the boat were so much fun too. If you’re looking for a more local feeling tour that feels comfortable and personalized and not just a generic tour this is the one for you! There is also a super cute dog named sushi in her pajamas protecting us all from the scary sea creatures :) Thank you Oahu catamaran for an exceptional birthday

    Enjoyable couple of hours cruising up and down Waikiki to Diamond Head. Friendly crew and nice snacks. Star of the show is Sushi the ship's dog. Great sunset view and for to see a few turtles.

    Krash, Jordan, and Sushi were wonderful hosts and we had the best time on our sunset cruise. We saw turtles, a double rainbow, and watched the sunset on the water. Highly recommend.

    A really amazing experience as a last day of vacation! We sailed in Waikiki, enjoyed a platter of fruit, cheese, and crackers, and watched the surfers, fish, and other sail boats as the sun set on the horizon. I would do this every evening before my shower and bedtime! Highly recommended.

    This was the best way to end our Hawaiian vacation! Beautiful all around and the crew was fantastic but best of all we loved being able to love on the best mate ever, sushi the dog ❤️ I’d recommend over and over!

    Amazing experience, a highlight to our trip and a must when in the Waikiki area. We saw so many turtles and different types of fish. We felt safe at all time and fully entertained.

    We have taken Oahu Catamarans out for snorkeling tours and sunset cruises. We always come back to Captain Krash and his dog Sushi. Don't be late, arrive early like instructions say to. Out on the tours, you will see turtles, fish, and gorgeous views. Highly recommend.

    We went on a snorkel trip to swim with Green Sea Turtles just offshore of Waikiki. Captain Crash & first mate Jordan were professional and friendly. They were safety first & helped snorkelers get the most out of swimming with sea turtles. Life vests were provided for everyone going in the water. This would be a great snorkel adventure for all family members. Fresh water spray hose was available to rinse off the salty sea water. And, they even offered a fun simple selection of snack, soda, & water to enjoy after the snorkel, as the catamaran sailed back to the harbor. Beautiful views of the Waikiki shoreline and Diamond Head too...

    Captain Krash is an amazing awesome person! And his dog Sushi loves kids and turtles. Jordan is the deck hand who is really helpful. Captain Krash let my kids steer the boat and taught us the history of the island.

    Captain Krash was great. The dog onboard was a little different, probably should make people aware of that before hand. The rail was very sturdy where me and a friend lost our lunches. We did get to see a turtle.

    Went on the sunset tour led by Captain Krash. We saw a turtle and a rainbow over Waikiki. Views were amazing. The captain was pretty funny and his dog Sushi was very cute and friendly. Really relaxing way to spend the evening. Would definitely recommend and do again.

    OMG! This might have been the highlight of our 6 days in Oahu! Seriously, if you ever thought about taking a catamaran cruise, or even if you have never thought about a catamaran cruise, do not hesitate to book with Oahu Catamarans! Krash, Sushi (the dog), and Jordan were the best! The were extremely friendly and welcoming. The cruises are limited in size and feel very exclusive. May other catamaran cruises looked very crowded but we always had room to spare. Fresh fruit, cheese, meats, shrimp, pinwheel rolls, etc. were provided, as well as soda and water. We brought our own bottle of wine to celebrate our anniversary night. Krash takes you out by Waikiki and along the way we learned some of the history of the island. As we cruises, we saw lots of fish and a few turtles. The highlight of the evening happened at sunset. The sky was incredibly beautiful and then Krash spotted a couple of whales. We zoomed a little closer and we were able to watch the whales for about 20 minutes. Watching them come up for air and an occasional big beach with tails on the air was a memory for a lifetime. Thank you Oahu Catamarans for an great evening. We will be booking again when we return!

    Loved this tour and the Captains dog Sushi! The Captain and Jordan were very nice (especially when I felt seasick 😬) and they also provided snacks/water. We saw several sea turtles and it was a really great experience. Would highly recommend! Thank you! 🌸

    Our family had a great time snorkeling on the Kahala Kai! The crew (including an adorable turtle spotting dog) were amazingly knowledgeable and fun. We were crazy and took our two kids ages 4 and 7 with us and they were very accommodating with them as well. We saw beautiful fish and TURTLES. I would 100% recommend this business to anyone looking for a fun, laid back snorkel adventure.

    We came in from LA and found Krash and crew on google. Man we’re we lucky to find them. Captain Krash, Jordan (shipmate) and Sushi the deck dog/ turtle wrangler. We weren’t able to actually make our original trip due to food poisoning and he was kind enough to let us take the sunset cruise the next night. The cruise was amazing. Great snacks, cold drinks, great crew, amazing sights, clean boat, wonderful knowledge of the history of the island and a great sense of humor to go along with everything. We couldn’t have had a nicer experience and I highly highly highly recommend Captain Krash.

    Pretty good tour. We went on a Sunday afternoon and I don't think the boat driver was very interested in working. He was rude to my wife on the phone when we had to call and get directions, as its not well marked. Once there he seemed very short with us. He loosened up a bit, but seemed to be going through the motions. The other guide was very helpful and got everyone fitted their gear. Once at the spot (quick 20 minute boat ride) we quickly saw many fish and 2 sea turtles. They provided snacks afterwards. Overall a good experience.

    My wife and I went on the sunset cruise. We had a great time. the captain, Krash, was nice and funny. Funny in a good way, not like funny looking or "funny", but good funny. There was a dog on board named sushi. Sushi was funny too. There was an assistant named Jordan who was also very kind and helpful. Jordan was also funny… in a good way. Jordan offered to take pictures for my wife and I and the whole crew made us feel welcomed. If there was a sixth star, I would give them seven stars.

    We had a blast swimming near sea turtles. Captain Krash and Jordan were a great and helpful crew. Krash would throw out food to get the fish to come close to the top. Really glad for this experience. BUT BEWARE THE SEAS CAN GET ROUGH, SO IF YOU NEED DRAMAMINE, PLAN ACCORDINGLY!

    Great, laid back crew (Jordan & Krash), beautiful ocean, turtles, fish and family - it doesn't get better. We booked a 3-hour private charter, and had blast. They sent us some photos of our trip as well - a wonderful surprise. We'd called a few places & they were super prompt calling back, we're super helpful & didn't pressure us to book right away. After we did book, another boat finally called us back, then sent us texts to show their boat was 'nicer'. Left a bad taste in our mouths & we couldn't be happier that we ignored them. Glad we booked with Oahu!

    Such an amazing experience! We went on the sunset catamaran tour originally. Captain Krash was very knowledgeable and so funny. All other staff on board was so friendly and genuinely wanted to get to know you. Sushi the dog was so friendly and great at spotting turtles and barking at them so we could see. We enjoyed the sunset tour so much we came back the very next day for their snorkeling tour. The snorkeling tour was a little crowded due to many other boats being in the same area but that was completely out of their control and they still made the experience super special by checking with each person individually to make sure they saw turtles, and bringing food with them to attract fish to our own individual area. Can’t recommend enough!

    We spent a wonderful afternoon snorkeling with Oahu Catamarans. The organizers were very friendly and knowledgeable, they answered all questions that we asked. We were given snacks and drinks on the boat which was also a nice surprise. I’m giving 4 stars and not 5 because 1) the trip started with a delay and waiting in the sun was a little hot and 2) it was a challenge for us to find the correct place to go to. Nevertheless, the trip itself was a great fun and the equipment provided was of great quality. We saw lots of fish, some corals and even a few sea turtles! Thank you guys!

    Great boat trip! Departed on time, spacious boat and with freedom to move. Excellent food on board, a good aperitif! Nice captain, as is his dog Sushi :)
