Highly recommended

Dawn_P, Apr 2024

The guys were great, friendly and fun! The boat ride was a little rocky but we had a great experience. Sadly we didn’t see the whales but it is late in the season.

Good activity

Brendan_3, Mar 2024

Good ride with a friendly and good crew. Just didn't see any whales. Overall happy with it. My daughter had a good first time on a boat.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha! Thanks for sailing with us! We're glad the crew was friendly and your daughter enjoyed her first boat ride. While whale sightings are never guaranteed, we appreciate your understanding. Mahalo for choosing us!

Nice afternoon on the water with whales

Richard_M, Jan 2024

Ryan and Mitch provided a nice afternoon on the water. The wind did not cooperate for sailing, but that made it easier to see whales

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Aloha, thanks for sailing with us! While the wind wasn't ideal for sailing, we're happy it provided better whale watching conditions. Ryan and Mitch aim to make every trip enjoyable, and it sounds like they succeeded! Mahalo for joining us!

Terrible experience

Lujen_D, Dec 2023

We got there on time, and the guy on the boat waved for us and left us. I talk to them after and see if they can give us another time or we get our refund but they said no.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Aloha! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are truly sorry that your recent sail did not meet your expectations, and we understand your frustration. Upon reviewing your booking, we noticed you were unable to reach our office for check-in 30 minutes prior to the sail. Unfortunately, despite our attempt to assist you by phone and direct you to the beach boarding location, you weren't able to connect with our team before the prompt departure at 3:00 PM. Which is outlined in our confirmation email to ensure a fair and consistent experience for all guests. Our refund policy does not allow for cancellations/refunds within 24 hours of the sail, even in cases of missed boarding. You did contact our Sales Office after missing the boat and while we empathize with your disappointment, we cannot tolerate profane language and verbal attacks during interactions with our team members. It's important to maintain a respectful and professional environment for all. Mahalo

Captain Mitchel and Ryan make it fun to sail in Waikiki

TongassRainforest_E, Dec 2023

The trip was comfortable and fun, no pressure and just the right length of time. No wildlife to speak of but fair winds and smiles all around.

Ocean cruise

Tabitha_S, Nov 2023

This was an awesome time. It was very beautiful and peaceful: I would recommend this to everyone. The boat staff was very friendly and took care of everyone. We had fun and saw gorgeous views from the ocean. I can’t wait to come back.

Boat day

raven_j, Aug 2023

It was good and worth the money The drinks were plentiful and the crew was pleasant. I'd book again . You can do the drink band or pay per drink. It's also cash only for the bar. The water can get rough so if you have a sensitive stomach bring some meds

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Delighted you enjoyed the voyage! 🚢🥂 Our crew and drinks are top-notch. Join us for more fun on the waves soon! 🌊🛳️ #SailAndSip

Very Relaxing

Terry_L, Aug 2023

I chose to do this sailing experience to relax after a couple strenuous tours. This was a perfect experience as the weather was amazing, the drinks were delicious and a great mix of people to have conversation with during the outing. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking to relax out on the water.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Delighted to be your ultimate relaxation retreat! ☀️🛥️ Thanks for sailing with us, enjoying drinks & great company. Your recommendation means the world!

Kimberly_S, Jul 2023

Captain Austin and Mark made sure we had a wonderful experience! We had delicious and reasonably priced drinks, saw dolphins along the beautiful coast, and enjoyed the ride! We definitely would do this again!!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled that Captain Austin and Marc ensured you had a wonderful experience on our cruise. We'd be more than happy to have you join us again for another memorable ride in the future!

Enjoyable sailing experience for all ages

Lois_H, Jul 2023

Being on the water, the views, and the "sail" experience. It was a nice touch for music that all related to sunshine and relaxation. I would only suggest 2 things to make it a bit better: the captain to share a little bit of Hawaiian trivia and a time (20 min+/-) that there is no music so you can experience the sounds of nature on the water. Would recommend the voyage for all ages.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the adventure and love your recommendations!

Amazing experience

MuhammadShayan_S, Jul 2023

Very organized and professional! Totally worth the time. Boar is beautiful and captain and his assistant are really awesome l.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Thank you for your kind words! We take great pride in providing a seamless and enjoyable experience for our guests. Your satisfaction means a lot to us, and we can't wait to have you back for more fantastic adventures in the future!

Amazing ride and service

Audrey_L, Jul 2023

Awesome experience. Grace exhibited probably the best customer service I've seen on any catamaran tour (I live here and always take friends and family on these, and this was the only trip I've been on where someone from the crew is actively walking around, collecting empty cups, taking drink orders, etc) Grace even cleaned up when a girl got sick and took care of her for the whole trip. Awesome captain, crew, and amazing views. Clean boat, safe, and will book only this one in the future.

Wonderful catamaran experience!

Austin_D, Jul 2023

Wonderful experience from beginning to end. Valet Parking at Embassy Suites for $8, a short walk to the meeting point, short walk to the catamaran, friendly crew, clean boat, what’s not to love? The catamaran was well sized and had adequate seating. The captain and crew were professional and very friendly. Go for it!

Kenya_G, Mar 2023

Erin_M, Dec 2022

The crew was fun and excellent made everyone feel special! Kids and parents had a great time! We even saw a turtle!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Aloha Erin! Thank you for your review. We are stoked to hear that you enjoyed your sail and that your kids had a great time. We hope to welcome you aboard again on your next visit to the island. Mahalo and a hui hou!

Rainbows and dolphins

Claudia_G, Dec 2022

Great time enjoying the view from the ocean. The ride was great, relaxing, there were only two other groups on the boat. We had several drinks on the open bar. The directions to the meeting point was easy to find. While on the trip, the crew was able to point out some dolphins so that we could take pictures. The crew was great and accommodating. Would definitely take this trip as its not full of partying groups or families with many children. Perfectly relaxing with a beautiful rainbow appearing near the end of the ride.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Aloha Claudia, Thank you for your review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your sail and were able to see some dolphins. We can't wait to welcome you aboard again on your next visit to the island. Mahalo for choosing Holokai!
