Afternoon activity...a real hidden gem - Captain Mina and 1st mate/bartender Grace were welcoming and extended the Aloha spirit. The price included unlimited beverages (both alcohol and non). The music playlist was from the best of 70"s and it was perfect. So was the weather! Sunshine and a great breeze for hoisting the sails. It was 100% awesome. Only 14 of us made for extra space! Don't miss this exceptional experience.

Catamaran for the WIN. - The Holokai Catamaran trip was awesome. The wife and I had a great time on the Tradewinds sail. We had to represent the Going to Hawaii group we follow. GTH. A little cloudy that day but Ryan took great care of us serving special drinks. Next time we may try the Sunset cruise. Saw some Spinner Dolphins and a Turtle on this adventure. Sorry I can not remember the Captains name but he let me steer the catamaran. Mahalo from Alberta Canada. See you in Feb 2025.

Awesome Time, Great Views on Tradewind Sail - We decided on the Tradewind sail which is a 1.5 hour cruise departing at 3pm from the beach at Outrigger Reef Waikiki and it is a fantastic way to spend a lazy afternoon. The atmosphere on board was fantastic. There was music playing and a friendly and approachable crew who provided great service and were quick to serve drinks or even take photos of us on our phone. It was a smooth sail once we were a little way out from shore and we tracked along the coast taking in some amazing views of Waikiki, Diamond Head and surrounding areas which allowed for some fantastic photo opportunities. We attended as a family of 4 (with 2 older kids) but this cruise is fun for all ages. I thoroughly recommend taking a Holokai Catamaran cruise when visiting Waikiki and we won’t hesitate to do it again on our next trip to Hawaii.

Fantastic catamaran! - Amazing afternoon sail. We did the 9 am turtle canyon snorkel the same morning. We liked the catamaran and crew so much that we booked the afternoon sail too. I would recommend the Holokai to everyone. The crew was amazing and super friendly.

Great catamaran excursion for the price! - If you’re looking for something fun to do in Waikiki, I highly recommend this excursion with Holokai catamaran. The crew were so friendly and accommodating. They took our pictures and offered complimentary cocktails. You won’t be disappointed.
