Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
If your in Oahu, this is a MUST!!! Amazing!!! The staff was amazing, the free breakfast was very nice, not too much, but just enough,the view....I just can't explain how wonderful it was! Captain John is very down to earth and really seemed like he enjoys conversing with you and everyone else. If you have the Oahu card then it is unlimited the amount of times you can use it. We did not know this but we do now and plan to take advantage of this when we return in August!!!! The card almost pays for itself with this cruise!
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
My husband and I went on the breakfast sail and it was wonderful. The staff was wonderful. We spotted and guided beside some dolphins and sea turtles. It was such a relaxing way to see Waikiki.
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
The Makani was an awesome experience!!! The staff couldn't have been nicer and was very helpful. What a thrill to swim with fish and turtles in the open Pacific ocean. Definitely dont miss out on this one!!!
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
My only regret about the catamaran is that we didn't do it earlier during our trip. Otherwise, I would have booked another catamaran ride. We did a breakfast sail which included a breakfast of donuts and fresh fruit and 2 tickets for drinks (bottled water, soda, juice, etc.) You can purchase alcohol on the boat as well. The staff were very friendly and made the ride enjoyable. We didn't see any whales or dolphins but did see a few sea turtles. The views from the catamaran are AH-MAZING! Loved Loved Loved this ride!
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
We had scheduled a morning snorkel/catamaran cruise a month in advance. The day before we left, they called and said they had to cancel but gave plenty of rescheduling times. We signed up for 2 more and both were canceled due to lack of participation. They did say we could go on an evening sail if we wanted to pay 35 dollars/person. We did not feel that was right given the 3 prior cancellations in the week we were there. Needless to say, we did not get to experience the catamaran. I am sure it would've been great had they not canceled three times.
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
I wasn't all that excited about the catamaran until we got there. It is by far the best catamaran on the water! The crew was super friendly too. We saw whales, dolphins, and sea turtles. It was great to lay out on the tanning deck up front. The free drink was nice too, but I think they should have included a snack at least too. I did get a little seasick, but I was able to minimize that by staying out in the open air.

Took the breakfast cruise 3-21 with my husband and 8 year old grandson. There was plenty of food and the crew was real nice. Enjoyed it very much. We had a few whale sightings, too. Would definatley recommend this and would love to do it again!

Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
We went twice, once for the morning snorkel trip and then later for the afternoon sail. Both times were great but they make you wear a life vest when you snorkel. We did see a couple of turtles and some colorful fish but we were just bobbing around on the surface like a lump and couldn't really explore. Liability issues I suppose but if you want to go snorkeling there are better ways to do it.
Comments about Smart Destinations Makani Catamaran:
Perfect weather, a well maintained Boat and a terrific crew made this an excellent trip, and we had the bonus of seeing a mother humpback whale and her child swimming near us and sea turtles too. Even in light wind the boat moved at 8-9 Kts, so smooth- interesting chats with the captain, First mate and bartender and other passengers. Would have gone a second time if there was more time left!

Was OK, just because we saw whales, did not have what was promised, would NOT pay to go!
