We enjoyed our sunset cruise, and had fun with the crew and captain on board. They were very hospitable in serving drinks to passengers.The views were spectacular, too—especially the double rainbow which appeared before sunset! This hour-long cruise is a great way to get out on the water to enjoy a scenic view of Diamond Head & the Oahu coastline. The price per person is fair, and I highly recommend this outing! Be sure to sit in the back or middle section of the boat, however, if you want to avoid getting wet!

There is NOTHING like spending an hour sailing with the wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable crew of the Kepoikai. The only thing better than one sail a day with them is doing 2!! Highly recommend for some quality time on the water.

I have a business myself. I believe that if i get paid for services i render to someone with the amount that i asked for, i should be able to do my all to give them their money’s worth.I rarely give reviews unless they supersede my expectations. I knew it was going yo be fun because i was with all my children, grandchildren and our close friends. We visited from the Bay Area. We brought bottles of nice wines to make sure we will enjoy to the utmost while sailing.There were 2 beautiful souls as we boarded the vessel. They started helping us and entertaining us, but their smiles and great vibes were the key.,. They were very professional and down to earth. The highlight of our family vacation. We sighted a school of dolphins twice while sailing. My grand daughter’s dream came through. She is still in awe and cant believe she saw dolphins . Thank you guys. Keep it up! We will be back.

Awesome trip! Saw a few giant sea turtles and rode some waves. The view after we sailed past diamond head was amazing. A Great crew that is safety minded. They will let you relax and have a good time or go to the front and get the thrill ride(sea water soaking for no extra fee). Would definitely do it again if I come back.

Best catamaran in Waikiki! I used to live in Honolulu and just moved back. I head to the Royal Hawaiian and the Kepoikai II any time I need a quick and easy hour on the water. Super-friendly staff who’s been there for years. New online booking is great! Highly recommend and I’ve also chartered the boat for group events. Never disappoints…

Such an amazing experience! Dave was totally accommodating and they were just so fun to be around. We did the Sunset tour with our 3 year old and it was totally worth it. Will definitely be back! Mahalo!

Greatly enjoyed a sail on the Kepoikai II this week. Really appreciate the owner for handling my group booking and the crew for being so welcoming and waiting a few extra minutes for us. On a weekday morning (10:30 sail) we had calm seas, light winds, and a bunch of spinner dolphins close to the boat. Chose this catamaran over the others because they provided a local group discount and they allow your own snacks and drinks aboard. Didnt want a party boat, so this was perfect, so relaxing.

This was such a fun experience for a reasonable price! Wish we could have been seated on the nets but I wasn’t too sure if we could so I went to the back instead. If you’re willing to get splashed on, definitely sit on the nets upon your arrival. They sell cheap drinks & play great music. Wish it could have last longer but had an amazing time.

Such a fun and beautiful sunset sail! The perfect amount of time on the water to view the beautiful sunset. Dave was so kind and accommodating! He recommended my sisters and I sit at the front of the boat by the net to enjoy the view and to take photos. We felt safe, welcomed, and relaxed. Highly recommend this trip! -Kari and Myrtz

Wow this is amazing!! The price is perfect as well. It’s a nice sunset adventure and you can go in the net park and get wet or you can just sit on a regular seat. Thai was so amazing, will definitely do it again!

Review №16

This group keeps it fun and lively while maintaining professionalism, courtesy and safety. They are skilled at sailing and take you out far enough to get amazing views of Diamondhead, the shoreline and to capture the spectacular sunset. The boat is small enough to feel close and connected to the sea and large enough to accommodate 20+ people easily and to know you are on a sturdy and well maintained vessel. They serve drinks and other beverages and also have a bathroom on board. 😃 I highly recommend the sunset sail!

Loved the ride! Sunset sail. Sailed out to the left from the beach and out into the deep blue waters past diamond head. Then headed back into wonderful sunset toward Waikiki which was beautiful in the sunset time. Great service on board with drinks as well. Thanks!

We made our reservations very easily on the website. We were verified when we arrived on on reservation day. The crew was very nice. The ride was so much fun! It was a very safe feeling atmosphere. The fun of seeing Waikiki Beach from the ocean was fun. My sister has vision difficulties, and the crew offered assistance very quickly upon noting her hesitancy. Great time!!!.

We had an amazing experience! We sat on the net the whole time and got soaked, which we loved! The crew even served us drinks continuously to the net. The crew was so fun! We wanted to go again the next night but they were booked already. We would for sure do this again if we come back! Highly recommend!

The crew is attentive and responsive to the comfort of their customers. My daughter fell and had some minor scrapes. They had a first aid kit that was well protected from the water. My other daughter started to not feel well and a crew member gave her ice. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this establishment. 👌

Such a wonderful experience! Everyone was so personable and sweet. Due to parking troubles, we were about 10 minutes late for our registered time slot, but it was no issue! I was asked my name to verify my reservation and then told to “Get on up!” So nice and, once again, SUPER FUN!

Dan and the rest of crew were friendly and fun! Great views from the boat- turtles, jumping fish and blue skies. The boat was not overly crowded, there was a enough room to have some space between groups. I will go back on my next trip!

When another tour of ours got messed up, I contacted Kepoikai II Catamaran and someone responded immediately and got us 2 extra seats on a day sail for that day. They were incredibly kind and helpful and the sailing itself was amazing. The water was beautiful and the workers on board were very nice. It was a very chill experience and it was incredibly relaxing. The Mai Tais were great! Highly recommend!

We had a blast on this trip! Captain Biggie and Colonel Dan took care of us. I recommend this trip! If you want to sit up front, wear your swimsuit. The waves will splash and get you wet.Thanks again for a great experience.

Had an amazing 1-hour cruise with Captain Biggie! Admittedly, I was running a few minutes behind but the Captain called me and waited a few mins for me to arrive. Once on-board it was smooth sailing with cold drinks and Aloha vibes a plenty. Would highly recommend, great value and very, very friendly crew!

My mom and I have never been on a Catamaran before and we are so glad that we decided to book with Kepoikai. The staff are really friendly and helped my mom into the boat and made sure she was comfortable on the ride. We will definitely book with them the next time we visit Waikiki.

Review №44

Captain and his guy were nice and professional, the cruise in Waikiki bay is beautiful, you ll have great view of the skyline, mountain, diamond head… as a single mom with her 10 years old, I did not think that it will be a young public on the boat just wanted to drink alcohol on a boat ( they came well equipped), and they kept on blocking my view even if we were seated in front before.So I recommend for couples or friends but no family.

Boat ride was beautiful and had great views of the island. The two man crew did a great job of making you feel at home and even helped with taking my 3 year old on and off the boat safely. The only thing I can say you would want to consider is if you typically get motion sickness pretty bad..be prepared lol my husband and daughter did not do well. All in all it was worth it and the guys were great!! MAHALO!!

Captain Biggie ? And first mate Dan are excellent hosts from start to finish. The welcome, information and customer service are evident. Started on time and lasted complete hour on the water enjoying the beautiful scenery. Best deal thus far on my first trip to Oahu and highly recommend this for all ages to see the stunning views and enjoy sailing.

For $30 each person, it is sooo worth it with your significant other !! You get to see the city view and the diamond head. I forgot the guy’s name that help us board the boat and do everything else. He did a great job making sure everyone was having a great time & took picture for us. Made my first time sailing great ! I highly recommend the sunset sail. Book in advance ! Luckily someone cancel their reservations last min. We sat on the net and definitely got soaked wet !

I had a little trouble finding this place using Google maps and Apple Maps, but I’m sure my husband would say I was the problem! Haha! Once we arrived, the crew was so sweet, helpful and provided a great ride. We didn’t see any sea life, but that’s just Mother Nature. We enjoyed it so much, we will likely go again before the end of vacation. The experience was great and so is the price!

We had an incredible sail for an incredible price. We had an awesome captain and guide/bartender. Drinks were fairly priced and not watered down, so this makes for an affordable booze cruise! We will never forget the sunset sail thanks to the whales who paid us a visit. What a special treat! The sun set just moments before we returned to the shore. It was the perfect amount of time and had an absolutely blast. 10/10 will recommend to everyone I know and will return for this boat ride the next time I’m back!

Review №77

Best boat tour in Waikiki. The crew is literally so good at it and made me and my family feel instantly welcome. They are professional and safety is their first concern.Beers are $2 each and Mai Tais too. It takes about 60-80 mins for the round trip. I’d recommend sitting in the back when heading out through the breakers unless you want to get a little wet.It’s so much fun and great value.

We really enjoyed our sunset sail!!!! My mom is 75 and I was worried about how she could get up and down safely. The crew really made her feel safe as they personally escorted her aboard and I was impressed. They even announced that it was my daughter’s birthday and had everyone sing the happy birthday song to make her feel special. I would recommend this service because our experience was unforgettable.

We had a good time on the sunset cruise! I wish we would have worn shorts or clothing that we didnt mind getting wet (but that was totally our fault for not preparing ourselves). You get in from the beach, there is no physical dock. The captains help you time up your entrance and exit to avoid getting too wet. The 2 captains were attentive and talked with us during the cruise which was nice. Although the water was a bit choppy they did an awesome job getting us out there. Its nice because you can bring your own food and/or drinks if you choose. You can also buy a beverage for $4 on the boat if you want. There were no kids on our cruise, but it would be kid friendly. The price is very fair :) We saw them taking people out the next day for a daytime cruise and if we had more time, would definitely consider doing that with this company. Overall we had a fun time & would highly recommend this sail trip :) thanks!

Review №93

We enjoyed our Catamaran trip with this company. They are located right on the beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian and the Outrigger hotel, so they were pretty easy to find. They go straight out into the ocean and then turn around and come back. There is no narration, (which would have been nice to know what you were looking at) just a quiet trip out and back. Price was very reasonable, trip was enjoyable and I would do it again.

We had a great experience booking with Kepoikai II Catamaran. A relaxing hour spent resting on the nets in a quick out and back catamaran ride with only 4 small parties (total 10 people) with amazing views and the bluest of blue waters ranging from crystal clear, light blue to deep blue. The 2 man crew were professional and experienced. If you’re looking for a quick ride out on the water, book this catamaran.

Review №99

We loved it! It was just my 3 year old daughter and I. She already asked if we can go again tomorrow : ) we were so very lucky to see 4 whales and sea turtles! I read some reviews about people being upset they didn’t see certain things but let us not forget Mother Nature dictates what we’re allowed to see not the captain. We were thankful to be alive and sailing on the ocean in beautiful Hawaii. The fact we got to see 4 whales up close diving in and out of the water was an absolute blessing, truly an experience I will never forget. The crew was attentive to us, always asking if we needed anything and the ride was beautiful. Perfect views of the city. I would absolutely recommend this sail and will definitely do it again!
