Great experience with MANA cruises. Capt Bruski and Brendan were an absolute joy. They took great care of our group and even got us close to a few whales. This is our second time with MANA and they did not disappoint. Our group of 6 really enjoyed the service, and the tasting menu was creative and well prepared. Drinks were on point as our group enjoyed the champagne and local beers. The boat (or yacht) was comfortable and many great seating options for taking in the Hawaiian sunset! Thanks MANA for an unforgettable evening!

An absolutely unforgettable evening! The food Marco prepared was delicious, and both he and Travis were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout the entire trip. Travis worked so hard to maneuver the boat perfectly so we could follow a group of four whales. It was a magical experience. We are definitely going again!

We went on the Ko Olina snorkel and lunch tour and it was the highlight of our honeymoon! The boat was absolutely stunning and the captains took amazing care of us! They were kind, fun, and extremely knowledgable about the island and the sea life. We held a starfish, saw an angel ray, held hands with an octopus, swam with several sea turtles, and spotted the first humpback whale our guides had seen this season! After snorkeling, we got back on the boat, where they had a shower head with warm, fresh, water, and ate the most delicious lunch and freshly made mai tais! I wish I could give this charter 10 stars!

12/9/2025- We just did the private charter with the Captain's Tasting menu out of Ko’Olina marina with Captain Travis and Taylor. If I could give them 10 stars I would. It was a beautiful day to sail, and we were fortunate enough to see both sea turtles and whales. The sunset was amazing, and the sea was very peaceful. The captain’s tasting menu was outstanding, and everybody loved the food. A huge thank you to Captain Travis and Taylor for making this such a wonderful experience for our family. 100% We would definitely recommend!!!

It was an incredible experience! From the moment we contacted Mana, Ella was amazing and guided us to the perfect adventure! Once we got on board, we were greeted kindly by Captain Travis and first-mate Taylor! They were both tremendously knowledgeable, personable, and really made this experience one of a kind! Once in the water, we got to snorkel and saw sea turtles, dolphins, and other ocean life! Having Taylor during our snorkel was also incredibly beneficial as she had so much knowledge of the ocean! Highly recommend for any couples and friends looking to have a special experience!
