Kids and I saw a lot fish and about 4 large sea turtles. Sailing on the catamaran was beautiful too. It was smooth sailing indeed. Our guides were youthful and fun!

Good service Trip is so nice My daughter n my friends pretty like it Unfortunately, I booked for me too but I was sick that day so I couldn’t enjoy the tour
Highly recommend!
Jill_P, Feb 2024
What a great experience, the crew went out of their way to find sea creatures for us, including sea turtles, dolphins, a whale, and we even got to see a small octopus, which with the many snorkeling trips we’ve been on in other places, we had never seen. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Mar 2024
We're thrilled the crew's efforts to find amazing creatures paid off! From sea turtles and dolphins to a whale and even a rare octopus, that's an incredible encounter. Mahalo for sailing with us and the recommendation!

Jacqueline_C, Sep 2023
We did see turtles. Staff was friendly. The gear for you to use was in good condition. Loved the sail at the end of the snorkel. It was a really fun treat. I would recommend going in the morning when the water is less cloudy.

We had a really great time & saw about 6 turtles! The crew was great. A lot of tours out there though.

Aloha, Thank you for the great review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a really great time on our catamaran and appreciate your kind words about our crew. We understand that there are many tour options available, and we're grateful that you chose to sail with us. Thank you for your support, and we hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back aboard for another memorable adventure soon. Mahalo, The Holokai Catamaran Team
Nice boat but even it you read all disclosure they may not be honored .
Melanie_M, Feb 2023
Crew and captain friendly and helpful. In spite of choppy water, still managed to see wild sea turtles. Unfortunately no whale sites. When Viatour described the tour we dejected it due to the written 23 person max. Our iarty if six was still afraid of Covid 19 n picked a smaller boat fir that reason. That written policy was violated and my event was spoiled with the additional persons allowed not I ckudi g the count if the crew. Unfair!
Response from Host, Mar 2023
Aloha Melanie, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. We're glad that you enjoyed your experience onboard and the honu of Waikiki. We did want to clarify that our vessel can accomodate up to 49 passengers plus our crew, and so with just 23-27 guests onboard, there is still plenty of space for all. We are a fully outdoor activity and follow all City and County protocol regarding health and safety, including COVID-19 precautions. Our crew thoroughly sanatize all snorkel gear and vessel/office areas, as well as offer the purchase of new snorkel mouth pieces for those who wish to use brand new gear. Guests are also welcome to bring their own gear if they wish The third party you booked through did contact us 5 minutes after departure to let us know you requested a refund due to the passenger count, but as you had boarded the vessel and were participating in the activity, we did not have a clear understanding of your refund request, especially as we were well below the maximum number of guests we can accomodate. We are sorry that you felt unsafe due to COVID while traveling, but you did not notify our staff during boarding, during the sail, or after that you were not comfortable with the number of guests onboard as we would have been happy to address your concerns in person. Again, we are glad you enjoyed your time onboard the Holokai and we hope you enjoyed your visit to Hawaii. Mahalo!
Mind taking.

Best thing we did in Hawaii. We saw the other tour boats. They were not having fun like we were. Turtles. Jumping off boat. Drinks. Music. Sailed around Waikiki on beautiful catamaran after snorkeling. Great crew. Just do it don't be a cheapskate.

Leslie_W, Mar 2022
Kids had a great time snorkeling and saw a couple of titles even though the waters were a bit rough. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Even though my youngest got sick, the staff were caring and helped out. We saw a whale from afar during the boat ride after. Would definitely recommend.

Solid value for the money
Kirk_K, Feb 2022
Nice, clean boat. Crew was very nice & knowledgeable. Short boat ride 5-10 minutes to turtle canyon. Saw several turtles and fish on the snorkel but nothing but land on the boat ride. The snorkel site can get a little crowded as many boats tie down there. Try the hooch, very tasty. Overall a good, but not spectacular excursion.

My new hobby if I lived here!
Tammy_F, Jan 2022
The crew was kind and attentive, the water was unfortunately murky (Offshore eruption caused that), but even still I did see 3 turtles!
Response from Host, Jan 2022
Aloha Tammy, thank you so much for leaving us a review! We are sorry to hear that the eruption made for murky snorkel conditions, but we are SO happy to hear that you still were able to snorkel with our honu and check out the sea life.
