Ko Olina Ocean Adventures

As a traveler who experiences excursions all around the world, I was so impressed with the sail I took with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures, and I would book with them again in a heart beat.Located in the Ko Olina Marina, there were no other tours happening during my arrival time and it was super easy to find with plenty of parking. The parking is paid, and cost $18.00 additional to the tour. If you're staying in Ko Olina, you could potentially walk to the tour from your hotel as long as you're ok walking back in the dark (the area is well-lit).I took the sunset sail in mid-February. I'm not sure what capacity is on the catamaran, but it was not full during our sail.Our captain was so nice and easy-going. He and the rest of the staff made everyone feel welcomed and taken care of the entire time. Obviously the smoothness of the ride has more to do with ocean conditions and swells, but Captain Todd truly took it to the next level and gave us such a smooth sail.You're welcome to walk up to the bar for drinks, but I love how the staff checks in regularly and brings you drinks when you need a refill - it's great to be able to stay in your spot and not have to head to the bar. I'm plant-based and the staff accommodated with a vegan charcuterie bowl for me (I let them know in advance, I believe that the meat and cheese were pre-packed with the fruit & crackers for the non-vegan versions before the sail).The music was completely on point and the sunset views were perfect! I loved the timing of this sail as we got to enjoy a bunch of daylight, and then wound back up at dock just after sunset (still enough light to begin your walk back to your hotel or enjoy some views of the last light before heading back out of Ko Olina).We unfortunately didn't see any whales, turtles or dolphins this trip - but the crew was surprised because they had been out a lot during the day. They must have put on a show earlier and been asleep for our sail! Crew told me that they've had whales and dolphins ride right along the boat at times.The people and the vibes were wonderful, and it was the perfect sail around Ko Olina. Highly recommend!

Don't look anywhere else these guys kick ass!!!!They are what you would call a perfect team.Great vibes they make you feel safe and comfortable.Good drinks good, good lunch.We seen all kinds of fish and got lucky enough to see a shark and a sea turtle.Definitely coming back!!!!!

Staff were amazing! They were friendly, knowledgeable, kind, tentative and very professional. Before sending the guess into the water they would ensure that there were plenty of fish and sea creatures under water. In other words they made sure to find a great spot to stop. Staff would point out any amazing animal they saw; we got to see a monk seal and a turtle. Onboard the boat was clean and plenty of room for all to sit below or above deck. They provided the snorkeling gears and had enough for ALL guess. Would recommend this to all friends and family and anyone who is interested in a snorkeling tour. Amazing experience!

The three of us went on a two hour sunset cruise sailing out of the Ko Olina marina last Thursday. We conveniently walked over from the Marriott. It took us about 11 minutes. The catamaran cruise was scheduled to set sail 4:30p-6:30p. Everyone was checked in by one of the crew members and then we were allowed onboard. Heads up - it's shoeless. All shoes off. So be aware. Food wise- a nice charcuterie in a box with three drinks per person. The two tropical drinks offered were of their own concoction- the naked pirate and the mermaid. The naked pirate was similar to a mai tai, and the mermaid was like a blue Hawaii. We liked the naked pirate more. Because we enjoyed the tropical drinks I can't recall what else was being offered. The catamaran was nice and cozy. It sailed along the coast and we saw our resort. The crew members were very attentive and made sure we always had a drink. I don't think anyone drank more than the three allotted but it was no big deal. The sunset was beautiful. Once it went down the captain headed back to the marina. It was a nice way to spend an evening.

Love a good sunset on the ocean.My husband purchased the sunset cruise out of Ko'olina for my birthday.Same company does snorkeling trips during the day on the catamaran. They cruised out past Electric beach area which offered views of the westside mountains and coastline.They entertained us with lively music, appetizers and drinks. Enjoyed the views and chatting with other passengers.Of course the main attraction was the beautiful golden views of the sunset .The staff were all very friendly and made sure everyone was taken care of. If you are local or tourist it's a pleasant couple hour cruise.

We had such a great time on the sunset cruise! Couldn't have been better. Great drinks and service, and lots of whales! The light snack they served was also very good. Highly recommend this trip!

We sailed with Travis, Jake and Courtney this week. We had a wonderful day on the water. The crew was kind and attentive and took care of every need. They took us snorkeling on a reef which was loaded with fish who followed us around while we swam. We saw multiple sea turtles both from the boat and in the water. No dolphins on our day but thousands of tropical fish. The box lunch was excellent, with a fresh wholesome sandwich on island milk bread. Highly recommend!

We had such a great time. We were able to see dolphins, a sea turtle, numerous fish, and even an octopus! It far exceeded our expectations.Friendly, knowledgeable crew. Would definitely go again.

It was a beautiful sunset, and we were able to see dolphins off the bow. Great service, nice little charcuterie plate/bowl, and a few drinks. Great spending time with family! Thank you!

This was our second time sailing with Ko Olina Ocean Adventures for their Sunset Catamaran tour. Captain Travis handled the choppy January sea and gave us a fun ride. Courtney and the rest of the crew were so friendly and courteous, they anticipated our every need (including needing ginger candy and anti-nausea remedies). They are an excellent team! Plus their drinks are great (try the Naughty Mermaid!) and the snacks are well done. Very convenient if you are staying in Ko Olina. About a 20-25 minute walk from Aulani to the marina. But definitely worth the drive from anywhere on Oahu!
