Staff were amazing. The ride and view impeccable. What I enjoyed most is that it was suited for adults but also children as well. Will definitely recommend.

The crew was very friendly and accommodating. My youngest child wanted to get in the water, but I was too chicken at first to get in the water so one of the crew members offered to help her get in the water. My daughter was so appreciative and I was grateful. After chatting with the captain of the ship and the other crew members, I felt like I was hanging out with family. They are so amazing and I’m so grateful that I was able to experience the ocean with these amazing people. I will definitely be back.

Moana Boat Ride Hawaii
Roger_M, Jul 2025
Overall I give the experience 4/5 The boat was clean and the staff was nice. The drinks are very affordable and they offered water as well which was a plus. The boat did leave on time which I thought was good. If you are a person who is always late, don’t be late for this adventure because we left exactly at 2 pm. Make sure to read the directions that are sent to you once you book. I would not wear shoes. Only wear sandals because once you board the boat you will not be permitted to wear shoes or take them with you. If you get sea sick, stay home. Some parts of the ride were bumpy however that’s to be expected. The only part I did not like was the captain telling everyone to get off his boat not even 2 seconds after telling everyone to tip the staff. I found it rude, distasteful, and disrespectful. Other than that I’d say that this ride was very good.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Mahalo for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the sail and we appreciate the helpful tips. Sorry to hear about your last interaction—that's not the impression we want to leave. We will review this and make sure to keep things positive for everyone. Thanks again for choosing to sail with us!
Super fun activity in Honolulu
Christopher_M, Jul 2025
Moana Sip'n'Swim was a super fun experience and we were extremely glad that we did it. Be sure to show up early, because it takes a little while to find the exact dock. But if you set your nav to the meeting point you should be good. Once onboard, everything is relaxing and fun, with very friendly staff taking care of your every need. It was so cool to get to swim in the crystal clear waters, and the drinks for purchase were all really good. I loved that it was very flexible, and you could choose to go in the water however much, or little, as you wanted.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re glad you had a great time and found the crew friendly and flexible. Hope to welcome you on board for more adventures!

Julie_S, Mar 2025
This was a fun, comfortable and relaxing catamaran sail that was a quick way to get out on the gorgeous open water and experience a breeze without taking up an entire day on Waikiki. The friendly, female and efficient crew made cocktails along the way and were more than willing to snap pics of us with Diamond Head (and the beach) as a perfect backdrop.
Response from Host, Mar 2025
Thank you Julie! We hope to see you again soon ☀️

Andrew_H, Mar 2025
I did not like the music. You had to pay for almost everything but water. No snorkel equipment was allowed.

Our Swim n Sail is designed as a cocktail hour and we do not offer snorkeling on this trip. This information is provided on the tour description when booking. We do our best to create an enjoyable atmosphere for all guests, music can always be adjusted upon request.

Great sailing experience
Roy_N, Feb 2025
Excellent experience overall. Staff were friendly and accommodating. We had a windy day, so sailing was amazing. Personally I thought the onboard music distracted from the experience. Also, the meeting point was not well communicated. Should have specified the harbour slip number.
Great time, chill vibes, tasty cocktails!
