Locally born and locally driven, MANA is dedicated to delivering an authentic Hawaii charter experience, backed with quality and endless aloha.
As an organization, MANA continually strives for excellence in all it does, not just for guests, but for one another, our community, and the environment.

GOOD TO KNOW
Questions, Answered
How many passengers can you accommodate?
6 Guests on a Shared Charter · 10 Guests on a Private Charter (at addl rate) · The VENTURE Boat offers Private Charters for up to 6 guests maximum. Listed Private Charter prices are for groups of 6 or less. Please call or text us if you have more than 6 guests. MANA Cruises promotes a comfortable and intimate setting where ample space is available to everyone. Whether you are a couple or a family, rest assured that you'll have room to stretch out and personal attention at any time.
What should I wear? What should I bring?
First and foremost, all charters are offered as barefoot cruises for all vessels. There is no need for heels, shoes or boots as all footwear will be removed. Slip-on type of footwear are easiest for onboarding and deboarding. For snorkeling charters: Wear anything comfortable and flexible. If you plan to jump into the water with us, bring or wear your swimwear. A hat for sun protection is always a great idea. For evening charters: Anything comfortable and flexible will always be great; bring an extra cover up or sweater if you get cold. Please note that laws in Hawaii restrict use of non reef-safe sunscreens. Join us in protecting our waters by checking your sunscreen before boarding.
What kind of ocean life will I be able to see?
Throughout the year we encounter various species of Fish, Turtles, Eels, Rays, Crustaceans and marine mammals such as Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins and Humpback Whales (Seasonally Nov–Apr). Although it is less common, we do come across other large Oceanic Mammals, such as Risso Whales, Rough Tooth Dolphins, Spotted Dolphins, False Killer Whales, Melon Headed Whales, Pilot Whales and more! Though we love to view our wonderful Hawaiian ocean life as much as possible, it is within our company's discretion to respect the legal and safe viewing distances applicable to each species.
Where do you depart from?
MANA Cruises proudly departs from two wonderful locations on Oahu: Ko Olina Marina, 92-100 Waipahe Place, Kapolei, HI 96707 and Ala Wai Boat Harbor, 5 Holomoana St, Honolulu, HI 96815. Our specific meeting locations are best found using information in your confirmation email provided for each charter. Should you need further assistance or directions to these locations, please call or text us!
