RATED 4.5 STARS ON TRIPADVISOR!

They have this operation dialed in. It is short but very sweet. The open bar and fun, yet competent, staff makes for good times on the water. The views are great, they have good music going, and it is fun meeting other folks on board. Definitely check it out!

What a wonderful experience! The crew was friendly and fun. The drinks were tasty and plentiful. The sunset was gorgeous and the moonrise was a terrific bonus. I highly recommend!

This was a great experience. This sail is very calm and relaxing and a completely different experience from the trade wind sails, where you expect to get tossed around and get wet. The crew was very friendly and attentive. The sunset was gorgeous, even though it was overcast all day. My wife and I now prefer this sail over the trade winds sails we have done in the past. Great sail!

My friend was visiting me on the island and we both loved this experience! The crew is so refreshing and fun! It was a mix of young and old! It was a great time! Would definitely recommend!

This is the best deal in Waikiki. Was there for a week and went on this cruise three times. ~$30 for one hour sail with open bar. So, you can sit in a hotel bar and nurse one drink or be on the ocean enjoying amazing views, listen to lively music and chug down multiple drinks. No brainer. Shout out to Dustin for the amazing sailing experience.

This was a total blast! The guys running the boat were friendly and entertaining. The sites were phenomenal. The sea life is gorgeous. And the drinks were very good. I booked a second trip, can’t wait to sale again!

ENJOY YOUR TRIP.

Rave Reviews

Traveling at the age of 20 with your friends is a guaranteed fun time but when you do amazingly fun excursions like the Makani Catamaran, it just makes your vacations a thousand times better! My friends and I had such a great time thanks to your amazing staff. They’re very nice and very helpful. I’ve been on the catamaran three times and every time it just seems to get better and better. I highly recommend Makani Catamaran, MAHALO!!! oh and we saw turtles and DOLPHINS on our sail, IT WAS AMAZING!!!

This was by far the best catamaran we have been on! The staff is AMAZING. The crew is so helpful and funny. They make you feel like your part of their crew for sure. We loved spending time on the water and hearing all they had to say about the islands and animals. The captain was great! We will be doing this again!

We saw a sea turtle and a group of dolphins followed us for a while and did some "tricks". No whales on this trip but the crew made the experience fun by telling jokes and talking about the animals.

I can't say enough nice things about our trip on the Makani Catamaran! The staff were warm and friendly, the drinks we're tasty and the views were breathtaking. We had the opportunity to stand in the Captain's Galley and take photos. Captain Jon was so accommodating and thoughtful - he even offered to take our picture. This is one experience you do not want to miss out on! Highly recommend.

The boat was in great shape, staff was very professional and committed to safety. I appreciated that more than anything. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone visiting the Island, the views are well worth it. Great value trip!

So, full disclosure I was pretty skeptical that this would be fun at all. In fact, this was totally my wifes idea. That said, of all the things we did in Hawaii, this ended up being one of my favorites. We had been doing pushing ourselves pretty hard for several days up to this point and it was just really nice to sit back for a couple hours with drinks in hand and hang out as a family. We sat on the netting in the front and our 9,7, and 5 year old kids thought it was awesome to watch the water go by underneath and at one point even had some dolphins following us. 100% would suggest and will definitely do again.

I am so happy that I booked this during our trip to Hawaii. The crew was nice, hospitable, and very engaging. They made the sail super fun for everyone on board. Our captain was even able to show us sea turtles and a whale, even though we were not promised that when booking! Plus there was a full service bar and the drinks were awesome! I would definitely recommend to everyone. It is definitely worth it.

What an amazing experience. The staff was wonderful and went above and beyond our expectations. I highly recommend Pink Sails Waikiki when visiting the islands. This is a must do experience.

I have taken multiple sunset tours in Hawaii. None of them let you swim. This was amazing. My kids and I swam in the ocean, we saw turtles and seals, they had free snacks and drinks for purchase. The crew was so chill and friendly. I highly recommend this tour!

It was truly amazing 🤩 saw a lot of turtles 🐢 tropical fish, water was crystal clear, staff on boat were friendly an very helpful, was highlight of my holiday so far would highly recommend 🙌

We had a fabulous time swimming with turtles off Waikiki beach. The crew were informative, friendly, entertaining and welcoming. I went with my husband and sisters and we all had a ball. It was definitely a highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this activity.

They have this operation dialed in. It is short but very sweet. The open bar and fun, yet competent, staff makes for good times on the water. The views are great, they have good music going, and it is fun meeting other folks on board. Definitely check it out!

Great time snorkeling with this crew! We saw a lot of fish and many sea turtles. My daughter loved jumping off the side of the boat over and over! Drinks were great too!

What a wonderful experience! The crew was friendly and fun. The drinks were tasty and plentiful. The sunset was gorgeous and the moonrise was a terrific bonus. I highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the 2:30 Sunset Cruise. The guys sailing us out were super nice. It was beautiful on the water, and we even saw a turtle in the water! The Mai Tai drinks they had on board, were actually the best we had the entire trip. I would defiantly recommend this experience! P.S. you could get soaked...we did :-)

This was a great experience. This sail is very calm and relaxing and a completely different experience from the trade wind sails, where you expect to get tossed around and get wet. The crew was very friendly and attentive. The sunset was gorgeous, even though it was overcast all day. My wife and I now prefer this sail over the trade winds sails we have done in the past. Great sail!

So much fun! One of the more affordable sunset cruises and 100% worth it. The workers on the boat were friendly and upbeat and did a great job of cultivating a fun vibe. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

My friend was visiting me on the island and we both loved this experience! The crew is so refreshing and fun! It was a mix of young and old! It was a great time! Would definitely recommend!

Best part of my trip! Kalani, Mina, Mitchell and Justin were great. Super nice and friendly. The views during sunset were incredible. I will definitely be booking this again when I come back to Waikiki. Thanks Manu Kai crew!

Our first adventure with them 35+ years. Our kids first and now taking the g-kids. The crew and catamaran has changed through the years, but still the best. Caring crew! We always return to them throughout the years Perfect for everyone. Always look for the blue and white (only one).

See all photos from Lulu W. for Kepoikai II Catamaran

Wonderful experience at a great price! And very flexible, as we had to reschedule because of a possible weather delay on if inbound flight. The check in and boarding process was easy, the hospitality was excellent, and the views were unbelievable. Highly recommend. We would do it again.

We enjoyed our voyage upon the Kepoikai II Catamaran. I chose Kepoikai because I wanted a chill cruise for my family, minus the drunk adults that can be found boarding the other catamarans. The crew and captain exceeded my expectations and I'll be sure to sail again. Be sure to make your way at least 10-15 minutes before your sail time. They're located on the shoreline of Waikiki Beach between the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and the main Outrigger Waikiki Beach Hotel, in front of Dukes Waikiki.

Such a beauty

We had a wonderful time! We made sweet memories with our 8 month old. This was her first boat ride. She thoroughly enjoy the waves and breeze. We brought a small backpack packed with some of her favorite goodies and a big bottle of water. I loved that it was only a 1 hour ride, which is ideal for young infants and children. The views of Waikiki and Diamond Head are phenomenal. The great thing is that my husband got to see a sea turtle and I got to see pod of dolphins. I definitely recommend! Mahalo!

Highly recommend the sunset cruise. I personally lay on 1 of the 2 large nets in the front of the Catamaran. The staff is super friendly and is able to assist you on & off if needed.

Another Oahu trip in the books! THANK YOUMahalo

Absolutely loved this experience, especially for only $30 per person. Make sure you are boarding the Kepoikai II as we almost boarded a different catamaran. When you get on, be careful as you need to duck to get in and out. Once on the catamaran, there's seating in the back and front. You will need to take your shoes off as it gets slippery on the boat. You can also leave your bags with your shoes if you're sitting in the front where the nets are. We sat here the whole time, which was so nice. But be warned as you are going to get soaked. They did warn us that we'd get wet, but I was completely soaked and my drink was filled with ocean water by the end of the trip. The waves got bumpy, but it was fun and entertaining. They also offer a premix mai tai for $6, beers for $4, and waters for $2. It's very affordable but you can also bring your own alcohol as long as it's not glass. The people working on the boat even brought our drinks to us, so we didn't have to leave our spot. Note that cash and card is accepted as well, so don't fret and enjoy it. This was such a fun experience to see the island from the ocean view. The views of Diamond Head Crater on one side and the golden hour from sunset on the other was perfect. This is great for couples, friends, and families.

View from catamaran.

So much fun! The highlight of our trip! And the workers are amazing! HIGHLY recommend!

Best boat on the beach! Best captain on the beach! Best memories every time! This was probably my sixth time on this cruise and I love it more every time. This cruise was for the memorial of my little brother who used to work on this boat. Capt Jay and his crew were so kind during our event and gave us plenty of time to reflect. It was a great way to say farewell to Jonny.

See all photos from Tiffany T. for Kepoikai II Catamaran

Inexpensive cruise, inexpensive drinks, an awesome crew, and a great time! I'd definitely come back and do this sunset cruise again. Be sure to check in early to pick your spot on the boat first. We had the best time sitting near the front of the boat.

Beautiful and welcoming business! Unko jay and his crew provides safety and the ALOHA spirit never lacks. Been going on rides since before I could walk.

RATED 4.5 STARS ON TRIPADVISOR!

Great time snorkeling with this crew! We saw a lot of fish and many sea turtles. My daughter loved jumping off the side of the boat over and over! Drinks were great too!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the 2:30 Sunset Cruise. The guys sailing us out were super nice. It was beautiful on the water, and we even saw a turtle in the water! The Mai Tai drinks they had on board, were actually the best we had the entire trip. I would defiantly recommend this experience! P.S. you could get soaked...we did :-)

So much fun! One of the more affordable sunset cruises and 100% worth it. The workers on the boat were friendly and upbeat and did a great job of cultivating a fun vibe. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best part of my trip! Kalani, Mina, Mitchell and Justin were great. Super nice and friendly. The views during sunset were incredible. I will definitely be booking this again when I come back to Waikiki. Thanks Manu Kai crew!

This was a great experience. We went on the morning snorkel tour and had a fantastic time! The boat comes right to the beach at Waikiki. The people were fantastic!!! We saw 3 turtles and lots of fish at turtle canyon.

We did the Diamond Head Tour and had a great time. This is a 90 min tour with sails up. Captain and crew were great. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. The Manu Kai is small enough that you really felt the waves and were really sailing. Crew were manning the sails but still had time to make sure you had mai tais. Overall a great time and highly recommend.

Well worth the money. Great crew, drinks included. Plenty of room on the boat. Friendly atmosphere. Bring a camera or iPhone, maybe a sweatshirt for after sunset. Expect to have a great time for $40.00. Definitely would go again.

We chose Manu Kai for the mid morning turtle snorkel at Turtle Canyon and had a terrific time. We saw plenty of turtles and fish and enjoyed the professional but casual, laid back vibe of the crew. Jess in particular was outstanding (with a background in marine biology). Post our snorkel we headed towards Diamond Head for a great view of the beach and were lucky enough to see dolphins at play. A great morning trip.

Overall rating

Beautiful sunset A nice ride on the water Guys were so awesome and accommodating made sure it was a great experience for everyone

The team at Waikiki Sailing were a well-oiled sailing machine! The directions provided in the confirmation email were clear and easy to follow. Check in was smooth and the beach boarding only splashed us up to our shins. ... We decided to sit on the catamaran netting on a particularly windy day and were warned about getting splashed multiple times. We endured the soaking and had an amazing time, plus the crew helped grab our empties and snacks so we could continue to enjoy. I recommend Waikiki Sailing 10,000 times over!

A super experience!

We were a little apprehensive about getting a boat from the sandy beach, but it was all beautifully managed and we enjoyed a really good trip and a lovely sunset. We were able to sit still and enjoy the drink and nibble ... s we had brought with us, while others enjoyed moving around onto the net to enjoy being really near the water. Even a little child under one year was there! I would recommend this to anyone. A few steps through water and up into the boat led to a wonderful trip.

Disappearing Waikiki beach prompts sand replenishment project — and calls for better fix

H ONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - A sand replenishment project for Waikiki is in the works as concerns of beach erosion grow, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources says.

It’s a Band-aid fix for erosion concerns, but it’s not yet clear what the long-term plan will entail.

Waikiki Beach from The Royal Hawaiian down to the Honolulu Zoo is a wide beach, but turn the other way facing Ewa and most of the beach is gone, taken by coastal erosion.

”I definitely noticed it more down this side, especially when you go past the break wall right there it just dropped off to nothing,” said one visitor from Australia.

To many, it’s more than a public safety hazard.

Outrigger Hospitality Group President Jeff Wagoner says there are ripple effects.

”Think about Waikiki in general, if there’s no beach, then they are going to Lanikai, they are going to Kailua, and that’s not the intent of tourism, is to have them all over the island. It’s to keep them in the resort districts,” said Wagoner.

Wagoner says in the long-term, he wants the state to put in another groin, like the one near The Royal Hawaiian Hotel built in 2020.

But, state Rep. Adrian Tam says he’s unsure if groins are the right solution.

“It needs significant funding,” said Tam. “I don’t know where I am with supporting the groins because it could have significant environmental impacts.”

In 2021, the state proposed five new groins to create four separate beach areas from the Outrigger Reef down to the Sheraton Waikiki.

The DLNR said it’s still working on an environmental impact statement, and couldn’t confirm the final proposal.

They added that for now, it plans to conduct a small-scale beach restoration project using sand recovered from a catamaran channel on the shoreline fronting several Waikiki hotels.

No word yet on when that project will start.
