Mike was a phenomenal host for our dive. The surface conditions weren’t great the day we went out and I actually panicked and decided not to participate in the first dive. This could have been a major letdown but Mike and his colleagues were so encouraging and helpful, which meant I was able to go on the second dive. Were it not for their professionalism, I might not have gone back out. Mike had a very reassuring presence and the kind of personality that just makes the whole experience. Mike and his colleagues gave us an incredible day and helped us fulfill a dream despite sketchy surface conditions and setbacks. You can’t go wrong; these people know what they’re doing and will help you make the most of your experience!! Thank you Mike!🏝️🫶
We had a great dive with Mike - he made our trip a blast! We will definitely book with him again, great guy and he made sure everything worked out for us.
Great experience. Everyone made us feel comfortable. It was my first ocean boat dive and I couldn't have asked for a better time. We saw a lot of fantastic sea life including a ray, plenty of eels and sea turtles. I highly recommend giving them a try.
The north shore dive shop was a fabulous experience. Zoe and Mike are incredible instructors and I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting the area!
Our guides, Mike and Zoe, were very knowledgeable, willing to help, and ready to give us a great time. Awesome, awesome dives, they took their time helping us with our gear, and adjusted easily to our preferred speed (we tend to go more slowly). Put us in the right place and right time for two separate turtles to get very close to me and it was life changing. Highly recommend diving with them, and will absolutely dive with them again!
This company cancelled our dive due to bad weather conditions. Totally understandable. However we spoke on the phone that they will refund my money. It has been more than a month but I had no refund!!! The worst thing is I have been sending emails, whatsapp messages and asking the status of the refund but no response what so ever!!! I can't believe 5 star dive shop has such a ignorant customer service. Keep in mind doing business with this dive shop. It is not cheap and we do not collect money from a tree. Refund my hard-earned money back already!!!!
Great place to rent snorkel equipment for Sharks Cove. The guys make sure you know what to do and where to go.
Zoe was amazing. She really did a great job of making us feel comfortable and made it a great experience. We will definitely be back.
Definitely one of the best dive shops on the island! I’ve done 3 guided dives with North Shore Dive Shop (wreck dive off Honolulu, Electric Beach and Sharks Cove/Cathedrals) and all have been fantastic. Sharks Cove & Cathedrals alone are worth the trip up to North Shore and was definitely my favorite dive. Staff is fantastic! They’re very responsive, accommodating and knowledgeable. Will definitely plan another dive with them soon.
All around great experience, Mike knows his way around. We did Shark's Cove and Cathedrals. Great local food in-between, would certainly do it again.
My 12 year old son wanted to experience scuba diving while on vacation in Hawaii. Called Mike and Zoe from North Shore Dive Shop who was able to organize what was an incredibly last minute experience for my son. Our instructor was Zoe who explained things to my son in a very easy to understand way and took amazing care of him throughout his dive. He loved it so much he is now asking to get fully certified! Highly recommend North Shore Dive Shop!
Although my plan was cancelled due to the weather condition, this shop didn’t refund me the fees I prepaid.
Such a fun trip! This was my sons first ocean dive after getting certified and Mike made it such an amazing trip. We went to sharks cove and did a two tank dive. Mike led us around the cathedral and showed us what diving in Oahu is all about. We saw a ray, turtle, reef shark, nudibranch, eel, an octopus, and tons of fish. We will be back for sure and I would highly recommend this dive shop to anyone who wants to experience how amazing diving Hawaii is whether you are a new diver or old 🙂
Mike and Zoe are really kind, attentive, professional, fun, safe, and knowledgeable. All you need for an amazing day out in the water!They took my 4 nieces and my partner Sarah for an intro dive and it was the best. Zoe was the perfect instructor to calmly and carefully give my nieces their first ever taste of scuba diving. They loved it! Honestly wouldnt have gotta a few of my nieces underwater without her. Everyone is still talking about how much fun they had with this team. So glad we went diving with them!
Mike, Zoe, and Jen were all so fabulous on our dive and snorkel today at Shark’s Cove. They were professional, positive, relaxed, and knowledgeable. They did not disappoint and neither did all the cool fish we saw!!! 🙂
We chose North Shore Dive Shop to help my son finish up his Junior Open Water certification while visiting Oahu. Mike could not have been more accommodating of our scheduling needs and Zoe did an amazing job getting the job done in the most safe and fun way possible. I highly recommend North Shore Dive Shop and will make it a point to return!

What a beautiful day on the water with MANA. We saw a turtle and amazing views!!Shout-out to Bruski and Brandon. They were so nice and helpful.
We had a fantastic time fishing with Captain Garrett! He went out of his way to be sure we all were comfortable and had fun. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It was a fun boat ride, lots of fishing which my son loved and great views along the way. It was a great way to end our trip.
Seriously such an awesome experience. We did the two hour morning fishing tour with our kids and decided to extend it to three because they had availability. We are sure glad we did. Captain JJ was awesome. Made sure the kids had a great time. They both caught a tuna and numerous tropical fish. He also heard about a pod of dolphins and make sure we went over and saw those as well too. It was a pretty magical morning.
We had a private charter today with Vaun and Marco and i cant say enough amazing things! These young men are so hospitable, kind, knowledgeable, and caring! This is by far the best charter crew we have ever had. My kids loved them! TheY have set the bar so high. Marco was in the water with our daughters finding star fish and sea urchins and Vaun let my 6 year old hang with him and drive the boat. These two are simply amazing!
This was the highlight of our whole trip! We were in Hawaii celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. We had tried to book this adventure earlier in our trip, but it was booked out until our very last day. It worked out great! We ended our celebration with a bang! Wow! I cannot begin to express our delight with this amazing adventure. The crew, Travis and Sienna, were so kind and encouraging. I am not much of a swimmer and had never been snorkeling. They talked me through every single step with patience and kindness. Once I was in the water, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing! But be warned…the time flies by because it’s such an incredible moment to see God’s creation under the water! The catamaran was beautiful and luxurious. The snack was above par. I cannot recommend this adventure enough. It was worth every penny! Just book it! You won’t regret it!
I wanted to thank Mana cruises for giving us such a wonderful experience. Seana (excuse my spelling) Sea, was so attentive and informative, really down to earth.Our captain Bruski was very kind and chill, and got us in and out with no problems. Also Ella! Can’t forget about her kindness and humor.Book it!
Such a lovely boat and crew. Food and drinks were outstanding. Would highly recommend this sunset cruise to everyone, Thanks for a beautiful memory!
Amazing sunset cruise. The Captain & crew were so kind and attentive. The food was top notch and the views were incredible! The limited number of people means you won’t be fighting for space. The boat is beautiful and so comfortable. Definitely the way to catch sunset when you are on Oahu.
Everything is 5 star with this experience. Shoutout to Seaanna for her warm personality and knowledge of the ocean. I would most definetly recommend this to couples or groups wanting a 5 star experience.
Our family recently had the pleasure of chartering a Mana Yacht for the day, and I can confidently say we made the perfect choice! From the very beginning, the booking process was smooth and efficient, with a special thanks for accommodating our request to adjust the departure time to better suit the weather conditions of the day.We were fortunate to be guided by the fantastic Captain Mark and the exceptional Sienna (or Sierra—my apologies for forgetting, but she was truly amazing!). The day was filled with excitement and wonder as we trolled for fish, catching two in no time. We also had the incredible experience of spotting a large pod of dolphins and snorkeling in two different locations. Sierra (or Sienna) went above and beyond, introducing us to fascinating sea urchins up close, and helping us spot an Eagle Ray, several turtles, and countless colorful fish.As someone with a fear of the ocean, I was particularly grateful for Sierra’s patient and reassuring presence. She made sure I felt comfortable and safe throughout the day, always nearby to offer support. Her individual attention to our teen boys was equally impressive, ensuring everyone felt engaged and happy.Captain Mark added a personal touch with his humor and stories, and even entertained us with a few songs inspired by our conversations. It was an unforgettable day on the ocean, and we’re already looking forward to our next adventure with Mana Yacht in August 2025. Thank you for providing us with such an amazing experience!
Such a great experience! You have to book the snorkeling trip while visiting. The crew is so friendly and informative!
Captain Austin and his help was amazing. Despite weather not being very friendly for the 1st hour the trip was beautiful. They were extremely attentive to us having a great time. I booked this trip last minute and it was easy to do so. I’m sure they stay booked up though when it’s not raining. Will for sure book another trip next time we come to Hawaii. The boat itself is also super clean and spacious. Can’t say enough good things.
Had a great time on Mana Cruises sunset cruise and tasting. Travis and sienna were fun easy going and welcoming. Thanks guys!
Travis and Sienna were incredible, i genuinely appreciated their attention to detail and care.
We had the best time snorkeling with this company! Very nice boat, clean, and amazing crew! The food was amazing and we were able to see a turtle on our trip! Cannot say enough good things, we would do it again in a heartbeat.
Just got back home from the trip, and I cannot stop thinking about the amazing experience we had with the mana cruise. We booked this tour without knowing anything about them just based on the reviews, and they did not lie. It was probably the best decision we made from this trip. From the moment we step foot inside the yacht to the moment we got back, everything was extraordinary. The friendliness of the crew, the breathtaking sunset, and the cleanliness of the yacht. The kids were so excited to see a school of dolphin swimming around. I cannot recommend this cruise enough. This will be the first thing we book when we are back to the Oahu. Thank you mama crew for taking care of our family.
We recently went on the Oahu Small Group Snorkel Tour, and it was an extraordinary experience from start to finish. If you are looking for a perfect blend of adventure, relaxation, and stunning natural beauty, this tour is an absolute must.The yacht itself was luxurious and comfortable, offering plenty of space to relax and enjoy the views of the beautiful Oahu coastline. The small group setting made the experience feel exclusive and intimate, allowing for personalized attention and a more relaxed atmosphere.
We had an amazing evening with the Mana crew. The food was great & the views were breathtaking! As we set sail toward the sunset, we were lucky to see a number of whales unexpectedly as we enjoyed the beauty of the ocean. I am sure that my family will cherish this memory for a lifetime.

It was a great experienceIt was a windy day, but the crew did everything they could to make sure we had a good time, and it was a really fun time.I would like to ask you again
We absolutely loved the entire experience. From the crew, to the boat, to the food - everything about the cruise was amazing. We were lucky enough to get to see dolphins and sea turtles too! This is a must do experience!!
Best finish to a weekend of celebrating the lives of our parents!Captain Mash and SeaAnna were a great team. They were friendly, made sure everyone enjoyed the trip. If you have a chance and don’t book with the Mana Ohana you are making a mistake. Thank you very much from our entire family.for the great trip!
I took my girlfriend out for a last minute date night. At first I was reluctant to choose Waikiki because of the "big city" and crowds. All of that was out of mind the second we stepped on the boat. Marco and Mateo made us feel more than at home and the boat was so spacious we forgot there were the other four people with us. The food and drinks even took us by surprise! Worth every cent. We will only choose Mana from now on. Bravo
An amazing experience in waikiki! The crew, the sunset food were amazing. Highly recommended!!!
Amazing experience!We did the Waikiki Snorkel + Lunch cruise- The boat is clean, secure, and Extremely comfortable! It has lots of lounging areas to sit OR lay down 🤩 with shade or to bathe in the sun.We had a swim and saw Hawaii’s beautiful marine life! There were groups of dolphins, fish, turtles, and an octopus that said Hi to us! 🐠🐙The service was Excellent and with Aloha of course!Lunch was delicious and the view in nature can’t be beat!We took a nap outside on the top deck sun bathing- the salty air, sun warmth, and cooling wind rocked us to sleep… I felt as relaxed as a spa!I would do this again!
If there is a single thing that you plan and reserve on your vacation, make sure this is it! The Sunset Yacht and tasting tour was simply perfect. Sunset sailing with Mana Cruises was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the crew was helpful and welcoming- providing a tour of the vessel, and offer us champagne, and fruits. Watching the sunset across the Waianae Mountain Range from the water, with Diamond Head at our back, was incredible. The captain Jesse and first mate Marco are skilled mariners- spotting spinner dolphins across Waikiki in Mamala Bay. My wife and I are excited to experience the sunset from the water again soon.
Crews were so friendly and helpful, beautiful views, luxury boat (I wanna live there;) amazing experience!!
Absolutely AMAZING! My family and I went on a private sunset cruise and Captain Mash and his crew mate, Masa were both terrific! I have never been on a more enjoyable boat ride. The view, food, and the time in the water was amazing! If your reading this view, book this right now, I can assure you, you won't regret it. My recommendation go on a private tour that way you get the full experience to yourself! Can't wait to come back! Thank you Mash and Masa for the FANTASTIC TIME EVER. Can't wait to see y'all again and excellent job!
We had such a great time on the Ko Olina morning snorkel. We had Austin and Kuli as our captain and they were great. We were able to fish, snorkel, and enjoy being on the water. We had a great lunch and great drinks. We will definitely do this again when we come back. I cannot recommend this company enough!!
Not your ordinary snorkeling tours , it was by far the best snorkeling we had so anywhere in the 🌎 . Captain Amy and mateo were amazing 👏 😍 super friendly, and super cool . The yacht is big , clean, and cool. We headed to the snorkeling spot and swimmed with 🐢 and 🐟 🐠. Then we took a nice cruise for a while . Captain Amy was knowledgeable, and we appreciate her for the info and local recommendations. She is top-notch, and the ride was smooth. We will definitely will repeat before we head home .

It was a great experienceIt was a windy day, but the crew did everything they could to make sure we had a good time, and it was a really fun time.I would like to ask you again
We absolutely loved the entire experience. From the crew, to the boat, to the food - everything about the cruise was amazing. We were lucky enough to get to see dolphins and sea turtles too! This is a must do experience!!
Best finish to a weekend of celebrating the lives of our parents!Captain Mash and SeaAnna were a great team. They were friendly, made sure everyone enjoyed the trip. If you have a chance and don’t book with the Mana Ohana you are making a mistake. Thank you very much from our entire family.for the great trip!
I took my girlfriend out for a last minute date night. At first I was reluctant to choose Waikiki because of the "big city" and crowds. All of that was out of mind the second we stepped on the boat. Marco and Mateo made us feel more than at home and the boat was so spacious we forgot there were the other four people with us. The food and drinks even took us by surprise! Worth every cent. We will only choose Mana from now on. Bravo

We had a great time! The staff was friendly and made sure we got a personalized experience. We would definitely book with them again.
Chris and Josh know all the good spots to snorkel. We went a couple weeks ago and and we got to see spinner dolphins, a giant turtle, and a lot of nice fish. It was completely up to us when it came to the itinerary. There's a huge group of boats in the reef and they made sure that we avoided that so it was just us. Very cool experience 10/10 would go again.
Had a wonderful time! Josh and Chris went above and beyond for us. So patient. We learned so many things about the island and the sea life.
Booked with 6 in the group. We went to 2 different spots for snorkeling. Got to swim with a couple of turtles so you can't beat that. Our group had some that didn't want to get in the water so they brought up some marine life to say hello. Much appreciated. This company doesn't go to the touristy spots so that was neat. We had our locations just to ourselves. Highly recommended.
Absolute best time in Hawaii, if you want a wonderful experience then do this! Thank you Chris and Josh!🇦🇺
Our family was looking for the adventure of a lifetime. Captain Chris and Adventure boat checked all the boxes. Not only the snorkeling spots but a fun boat ride getting there. This was a very enjoyable experience.
Booked at 2.5 hour tour with the family and these guys didn’t disappoint. Super friendly and helpful, they took us to a couple of spots that weren’t crowded with other people. Got super lucky and a pod of 50 or so spinner dolphins swam past us and all around our area. Amazing experience and totally worth the cost of a private charter. 10/10 would recommend.
We had an amazing time snorkeling with Captain Chris and first mate Josh. This was the first time snorkeling for everyone in our group. Captain Chris and Josh made us feel at ease, gave great instructions and took us to two amazing spots. We got to hold a sea urchin and touch an octopus. We saw tons of fish, reefs, urchins and turtles with an up close visit from a sea turtle they named Jennifer Slopez. Captain Chris and Josh shared plenty of info about the local area and island as well. We really liked their laid back attitude, wit and sense of humor. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!
The adventure boat was amazing! We had so much fun, the crew was so knowledgeable about the sea life and different areas. The guys took their time to make our trip special!
These guys are fantastic. The weather and sea conditions were not ideal on the morning of scheduled excursion, and they worked with my wife and I to reschedule to the next day. The marina location was super convenient to meet them at the boat near Waikiki.We saw tons of sea turtles and humpback whales. The snorkeling spots were teaming with tons of sea life. I definitely encourage anyone looking for a great time snorkeling and a near shore adventure to book the Adventure Boat.
We had an unbelievably awesome experience on the Adventure Boat. Captain Chris and Ryan were so knowledgeable about the area, friendly,respectful of the environment, and were very accommodating to our desires for the day. They took us to a snorkeling spot where none of the other charter boats go and it sure was the best spot on the island. We swam with dolphins, which was such a sacred experience! We also saw an eel, sea turtles, manta rays, and lots of cool fish. Their boat is super comfortable, even going really fast it was very smooth. I highly recommend this experience to anyone. We will definitely book a 4 hour day with Chris and Ryan every time we visit Honolulu! The Adventure Boat is a must do on your next vacation!
