Holikai Catamaran is a must do! - We had such a great time onboard Holikai! We saw so many turtles, beautiful fish and were even fortunate to see some dolphins while we sailed. Thank you to our crew, Mitchel, Chase and Bicks! They kept us safe, educated us and most of all made sure we all had a great time! If you are around Waikiki this is the excursion you shouldn’t miss!

Go for it! - All the staff were super friendly and very accommodating! They took their time to explain all the details to us -very helpful! I was especially impressed that they offered prescription goggles for those of us who wear glasses. The catamaran was comfortable, and the over water net bed was heavenly! Go for it!

Great crew and saw several turtles! - The catamaran was clean and well kept. The crew was super friendly and offered to take photos for everyone on the boat. They also had several people in the water at all times for safety reasons and to point out turtles. Everyone is required to wear life vests which makes sense because the water was a bit rough due to the wind. Water, soda and snacks are provided. Saw several turtles including a baby one. Highly recommend this company for your excursion!

#AlohafromAustin - Our family took an amazing snorkeling tour at Turtle Canyon on 07/23/24. We were aboard the wonderful Holokai Catamaran with an exceptional crew: Mitchell, Chase & Bicks! They took great care of the guests with star quality customer service and were not only informative about the culture and island, but very supportive and encouraging to the guests snorkeling. They had snacks and a tasty drink that was quite enjoyable as we sailed along the ocean! If you are looking for some fun, please be sure to check these guys out during your stay in Oahu! ~McFerren Family 🤙🏾🌺

The best way to spend an afternoon in Waikiki - My family and I had a blast! The crew was hospitable and entertaining. This was the first time my three young girls went snorkeling and the crew was awesome with them. We got to see turtles so many different fish and even a pod of dolphins off of the catamaran. I highly recommend Holokai Catamaran to anyone visiting Waikiki.

Holokai Snorkel tour - Snorkel adventure was great, saw fish and turtles. The 2nd part (sailing) was a lot of fun, relaxing and we also saw dolphins. I was nervous to get seasick but NO chance! The ride was relaxing and the Crew is outstanding (Grace, Chase, Ryan and others). I would absolutely return!
