CAN I BRING MY OWN DRINKS/FOOD?

You may bring your own alcoholic beverages, drinks, snacks, as well as small cooler/ice chest but please refrain from bringing more than you need or getting carried away with bringing too much of this stuff. Most of our tours are only 2 hours, so please bring only what you think you can consume in that time period. Please do your very best from bringing glass containers unless it is bottled wine or champagne for sipping. There will be a clean cooler for our guests to use while on the boat, as well as bottled water for all our guests.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD WE BRING?

We recommend all our customers to plan for a great time on the water and for getting wet. We recommend our guests to bring things like sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, a waterproof camera, and a towel. Even if you don’t plan on getting wet or going for a swim, you might still get splashed or wet just being on the boat during the ride.

WHERE DO WE MEET YOU?

Our boat is located in Kewalo Basin Harbor on Pier C. We will meet you at the gate of pier C just before the start of your tour to let you in and take you to the boat. Please do not come to the boat without one of our crew coming to get you, as we are getting the boat ready for your adventure and could be making final preparations before the start of your tour. If you have any issues at all finding the boat please give us a call at (808)339-8579 and we will be happy to assist you in finding our meeting spot.

HOW DO WE GET IN AND OUT OF THE BOAT?

While we are at the dock, getting in and out of the boat is not that hard as we will have the pier to step into and out of the boat. While in the water however, we will use a ladder to do so. You may jump off the boat, or use our vessels side door to get into the water, but getting back into the boat will require the ladder. To many, this will not be a difficult task, but to some this can be somewhat hard. Please only plan on getting into the water if you are able to climb your own body weight back up the ladder.

IS THERE A RESTROOM ONBOARD?

Yes! Our vessel the Mahi sports a small forward cabin that allows our charter guests a private space to relieve themselves while onboard. With that being said, this is a boat bathroom and therefore it is a much smaller space, and does not have similar plumbing capabilities as we have come accustomed to on land. Therefore, the toilet on the boat is for #1’S only as it is unable to flush paper products. We strongly recommend you try to use the bathroom facilities at the harbor prior to your reservation if you feel like you will need to go and are worried about tighter restroom space. If you are a free spirit however, you are also always welcome to take a dip and make the water a bit warmer if you catch our drift!

WILL WE SEE MARINE LIFE?

It is almost impossible to not see some sort of marine life on our tours as there is an abundance of healthy marine ecosystems in our ocean where we go. However, we can not snap our fingers and show you marine life like some may think. This is Mother Nature and we are fortunate for any encounter we get with her. With that said, there is certain times better than others. You will have a better chance seeing our Hawaiian dolphins bright and early in the morning, sea turtles floating on the surface throughout the day, and humpback whales only in the months between December - April. There will almost always be an abundance of tropical fish however at our snorkel spots. We will absolutely do our very best to show you as much as we possibly can, but we can not make marine life appear with a crystal ball unfortunately. The more time you spend on or in the water, the more amazing encounters of marine life you will have to remember.
