It was a pleasure hosting you, Mahalo for the great review.

Unique sailing experience

Keith_F, May 2022

This was much different than other sailing excursions I have been on in Hawaii. Rather than chasing fish and jumping in the water, this one focused on learning about various aspects of native culture. There was music, dance, story, history, food and more. It was a great experience. We did see a whale and followed it for awhile, so that was also really cool.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Mahalo for writing us such a great review, 🤙🏽

Diamond Head, Nanaue, Auqaman’s Palace & More!!

If you are lucky enough to book this cruise, you will not be disappointed! A core memory was achieved for our family. The captain & crew are exceptional. This history of the boat brings you as close to stories of this island as a Haole can get. We love this experience. We promise you will too!!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

I always enjoy the mornings. Mahalo for the wonderful review!

I went on this recently...

Guadalupe_S, Nov 2021

I went on this recently with my fiancé and it was so much fun. They were very nice and knowledgeable about the island. The food was great!

Thank you for joining us for a fun sail.

A great morning on the water with a fun captain and two lovely Hawaiian ladies

johnhanna, Oct 2021

Loved this morning cruise out to diamond head and back. The ladies were amazing. One played the ukulele much of the time while the other taught us Hawaiian history and how to hula. We got to make poi and eat poke and swordfish. It was intimate and just us (wife and I). Not a group of 50 piled onto the boat. The captain was awesome and personable. The whole experience was awesome and relaxing and we would highly recommend this tour to everyone. We saw turtles and dolphins as an extra. You should definitely go!!

Response from Host, Oct 2021

I do love the mornings as the Island comes alive, so much to see. Thank you for the awesome review!

Don’t walk, run to this trip. So worth it

AndreaB_K, Aug 2021

This was one of the best and most entertaining excursions I’ve ever taken. It’s definitely a don’t miss. We saw turtles and dolphins that swam right under the bow. The singer and teacher was knowledgeable and lots of fun. Don’t walk, run to this excursion
