It was a wonderful experience. The crew was great. It was a very relaxing evening. Would definitely do again.
It a wonderful experience especially the customer service is very excellent. I would say that it the best experience I’ve ever had.
From the moment we arrived at the pier, the experience was top notch. Highly recommend the VIP ticket option. Crew was very attentive and took time with every guest. The ride was comfortable and the sunset was amazing.
Such a wonderful experience... Definitely was nice to see it an all-woman crew. And they were very sweet and helpful.
We had a lot of fun on this sail. We had an all girl crew, which was awesome! They were capable, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The water was calm and the sunset was gorgeous. The only constructive criticism we have is about the drinks. You get the first one free, but the mojito was obviously pre-mixed and basically undrinkable. The gin and tonic (no lime) was almost as bad, but the person who had the Mai Tai said it was ok. The water also had a weird taste. However, I believe you can bring your own unopened non-alcoholic drinks on board, but better check on that first.
The crew was very welcoming. The boat was very clean. The crew certainly knew how to handle the catamaran, were knowledgeable anout the area and shared their knowledge with us. Unfortunately, we did not get to see any marine life. Service was great. We enjoyed our cruise very much.
So much fun! The views were amazing with so many beautiful colors in the water. And the sunset was absolutely stunning!!
It was pleasant. Friendly staff. Boat big and clean. Drinks were good. I wish more information had been given out shout what we were seeing.
A beautiful trip to simply sit back, breathe, and let the moment unfold. The crew was warm and wonderfully helpful, and the ride carried us past Diamond Head with a calm, golden view of the sunset
We had a great time on the Moana Catamaran cruise in Waikiki! The views were absolutely beautiful, and being out on the water with the Waikiki coastline in the background made for an amazing experience. The boat crew was friendly, welcoming, and did a great job making everyone feel comfortable.
The drinks were good and definitely added to the experience. My only complaint is that the drink selection was pretty limited, so having more options would have been nice.
Overall, it was a fun and relaxing experience with incredible views and a great crew. I would definitely recommend the Moana Catamaran if you’re looking for a fun way to enjoy Waikiki from the water! 🌊🌴
The experience truly was amazing, from boarding the boat to exiting the stuff was very attentive, made sure we were comfortable at all times and even offered to take photos. All around it was a great experience! Definitely would book again.
We had a wonderful time! The captain and crew were amazing! If you can arrive early or book the board early for best seating.
What a beautiful time we had. The crew is amazing, friendly and fun. Highly recommend this activity to anyone if you want a truly enjoyable sunset cruise!
So much fun! The crew made sure you always had a vold drink . The ride was smooth sailing the whole time. Loved it!
Had such a great time with Taylor, Sophia, and Bridget. All three of this woman crewed boat which is awesome of itself were kind, attentive, and super fun. We had a blast and this trip surpassed our expectations.
A must do. Everything about this event was exceptional. The boat itself is beautiful and comfortable. The staff were very personal and accommodating. The ride was smooth and tranquil. Best experience ever.
Great crew! They were attentive to all guests and their needs! Comfortable and a smooth sail with gorgeous sunset!
It was a lovely cruise, the staff were super helpful and they work hard!! But always had a smile and chat for everyone. Great cocktails too! Scenery was spectacular 🌅🌊
It is amazing, almost every year we come back to do this in our anniversary, the crew the views the drinks and the music you can transport to the paradise.
It was an amazing! Went solo and did the sunset and firework ride and ended up leaving with so MANY friends!
Great experience! The team were so attentive and we had a wonderful sail watching the sunset. We highly recommend.
Outstanding crew, they did a great job sailing the cat. Passed up several other cats along the way drinks were delicious too
Peaceful, fun, attentive staff, great music, strong/ good drinks, and an excellent atmosphere for a wonderful cruise. The staff was great looking at something in the water and finding out it was a raft that they took on board. Thank you so much! We took the same cruise two Fridays in a row and loved them both!
Great crew. They exemplified world class service. The best cruise on the island. Thanks for a job well done.
Relax, Enjoy, and take in the Peace this trip offers. Feel the rhythm of the ride. Observe the sunset and see the beauty offered.
It was a relaxing evening with nice drinks and two hours by the ocean—an ideal way to unwind. Thank you for making our evening so beautiful
Order the Pina Colada! Bring sunscreen! If you want an adventurous, wet experience sit on the sides in the front! It was a blast! If you want a regular ride sit in the back or back sides! Excellent staff that were very attentive to the passengers.

Aloha! Thank you for the awesome review and the great tips for future guests. You are spot on about the very front corners being the splash zone for the adventurous types.
I am so glad you loved the pina coladas and that our crew took such good care of you. We would love to have you back out on the water with us next time you are in Waikiki.
Beautiful experience and I can’t wait to repeat this excursion in the future. The crew were welcoming, the drinks were great and the atmosphere was amazing. With others on the boat you’ll still feel like you’re in your own world.
Great vibes, watching the sunset from the water is unmatched by anything. Highly recommend the VIP option. Early boarding and great choice of spots with VIP. Drinks were cold and always on hand. Great crew, super attentive and always willing to take pictures and show off he island.
First off, this is not an excursion that you do for the experience itself but more of a nice, relaxing couple hours on a catamaran. I traveled solo so I found a nice spot and just enjoyed the ride. We headed out from the dock and the view of Honolulu didn't change much from the start to the finish but you get a great view of the skyline including Diamond Head. Towards the end of the ride, the staff set up the catamaran so everyone would have a great view of the sunset.The staff was great and the ride was smooth.

Aloha! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
We love hosting solo travelers, and it is great to hear you found a nice spot to relax and enjoy the smooth ride. You are so right about that view of Diamond Head and the Honolulu skyline, it is always a highlight. Our crew takes a lot of pride in positioning the boat perfectly for that sunset shot, so I am glad you enjoyed it.
We would love to welcome you back on board the Moana whenever you visit Waikiki again!
