*Ko Olina Morning Snokel + Lunch*
We spent a week in Ko Olina and this was, by far, one of the highlights of our whole vacation. From first contact of arranging our charter until we docked, it was a first class experience all way. And yet it was reasonably priced for how inclusive it was. When I initially contacted them to ask about a few special dietary needs we had in our party and if they could switch up the menu for us, they didn't skip a beat and were totally accommodating. They ended up preparing the most delicious lunch for us. It was top notch, Next up was getting to the boat. The Mana Kahi was absolutely beautiful, so well cared for, had perfect amenities, and a stellar crew. Captain Daniel and Miranda took incredible care of our family of 6. Captain Daniel was professional and laid back. So easy to spend 3 hours with. He showed his true colors when we stopped and he dove out to rescue a sea turtle that had gotten caught up man made debris. He was perfectly accommodating to my dad too, talking shop about the boat. Miranda was as sweet as could be, anticipated and took care of our every need, even giving some special attention to our kiddo who took a liking to her. The weather couldn't have been more perfect too as we motored out to our snorkeling spot, which was relatively private. Captain knew the area well and even went out looking for what kind of sea creatures we could find. Beautiful fish, a sea turtle, and even spotting a large pod of dolphins within a nice distance to our anchor point. Once the wind picked up, we had a nice sail back into the marina.
I can't recommend Mana Cruises and this experience enough. We would definitely love to do it again on a future visit.
