It was the perfect experience for 3 first time snorkelers (2 adults, 1 child) visiting Turtle canyon. We left on time, the crew was friendly and fun, and we saw turtle after turtle after turtle -- plus an assorted array of other sea fauna -- truly spectacular. The spot was crowded with other boats at first, but we hung around longer than the others and by the end there was plenty of space. It also didn't feel rushed. It's a no frills activity, but really we were there for the turtles, why paint the lily?

Photo of G W.

A great experience for my 12 year old and 9 year old. We absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.

Wonderful time! Excellent captain and crew that were full of knowledge. very chill atmosphere.

Truely an amazing time. Not that there is ever a bad sunset on the island but seeing it from a catamaran with the sea water splashing on your feet is something spectacular. I'm sure there are a few other outfits that do sunset cruises but the you add the price of the cruise, location to downtown hotels, and crew you come up with the Mana Kai 2 Highly

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

So much fun! The people who run the tour were very nice and informative. We went out in the morning ( not as many people) You can sit anywhere one the boat (even in the mesh - you get wet) There is a bin for your gear ( get your stuff in early- it gets full quick- or you put by your feet) They gave us fins and snorkels and told us where to go. We seen many turtles a few fish and dolphins! About 10 dolphins swam through where we were swimming. We spent about an hour in the water and we rode back (about 15 minutes)

We had a great time on our sunset cruise! We had a large group of 24 so we booked the whole boat to ourselves. Our captain Kani and crew were great and accommodated our group very well!

AMAZING CATAMARAN RIDE! If you want to enjoy the view, and jump in the water during sunset and lay on the net this is the experience for you! First time on a catamaran in Hawaii and I really struggled with which one to select, I'm glad I chose this one. Crew was also super sweet. One tip: Come ready to jump in the water, definitely likely to get splashed. It's BYOB so come prepared :)

This was such a great experience I would definitely recommend this to anyone. We took a sunset trip and it was amazing it was a perfect evening it was choppy at all and not to hot. It is a byob so don't forget to bring a water bottle or some sort of beverage. The Captain (Jenny) and her first mate are exceptional and are perfect for this job they are very nice and know exactly what they are doing I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great time.

RATED 4.5 STARS ON TRIPADVISOR!

a drawing of a face

Great time snorkeling with this crew! We saw a lot of fish and many sea turtles. My daughter loved jumping off the side of the boat over and over! Drinks were great too!

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the 2:30 Sunset Cruise. The guys sailing us out were super nice. It was beautiful on the water, and we even saw a turtle in the water! The Mai Tai drinks they had on board, were actually the best we had the entire trip. I would defiantly recommend this experience! P.S. you could get soaked...we did :-)

So much fun! One of the more affordable sunset cruises and 100% worth it. The workers on the boat were friendly and upbeat and did a great job of cultivating a fun vibe. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Best part of my trip! Kalani, Mina, Mitchell and Justin were great. Super nice and friendly. The views during sunset were incredible. I will definitely be booking this again when I come back to Waikiki. Thanks Manu Kai crew!

This was a great experience. We went on the morning snorkel tour and had a fantastic time! The boat comes right to the beach at Waikiki. The people were fantastic!!! We saw 3 turtles and lots of fish at turtle canyon.

We did the Diamond Head Tour and had a great time. This is a 90 min tour with sails up. Captain and crew were great. Great views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat. The Manu Kai is small enough that you really felt the waves and were really sailing. Crew were manning the sails but still had time to make sure you had mai tais. Overall a great time and highly recommend.

Well worth the money. Great crew, drinks included. Plenty of room on the boat. Friendly atmosphere. Bring a camera or iPhone, maybe a sweatshirt for after sunset. Expect to have a great time for $40.00. Definitely would go again.

We chose Manu Kai for the mid morning turtle snorkel at Turtle Canyon and had a terrific time. We saw plenty of turtles and fish and enjoyed the professional but casual, laid back vibe of the crew. Jess in particular was outstanding (with a background in marine biology). Post our snorkel we headed towards Diamond Head for a great view of the beach and were lucky enough to see dolphins at play. A great morning trip.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

mana kai catamaran sunset sail

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.
