The Highlight of our Hawaii Trip - We had a fantastic time. The crew was great, everyone was very friendly and attentive. The dive portion was neat but a bit strenuous for those with little kids. My son is 10 and he did great but my girls, 8 and 5, it was a little more than they could handle. That said, we got an awesome up close view of a turtle and countless fish. The snorkeling was a lot of fun but in my opinion the sailing itself was the highlight. It was just an awesome experience getting to be under the power of the wind and looking back at Honolulu and Diamond Head. Really unforgettable. It was my personal highlight on this Hawaii trip. We enjoyed it so much we were tempted to book another sunset sail but we didn't seem to find the time. Great experience, highly recommend.

Turtle Canyon Snorkeling Trip - What truly stood out was the professionalism and skill of the entire four-person crew. From start to finish, they were organized, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced, making everyone feel safe and comfortable in the water. The snorkeling itself was fantastic, with great guidance and respect for the marine life. On the way back, I unfortunately became seasick, and this is where the crew really went above and beyond. Their response was marked by genuine kindness, calm reassurance, and practical help—not rushed or dismissive in the slightest. They checked on me, helped me get settled, and made sure I was okay until we returned, which I was incredibly grateful for. That level of care made a huge difference and turned what could have been a rough ending into a reminder of how thoughtful and professional this team truly is. I was so appreciative of their compassion and would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone—especially if you value a crew that truly looks out for their guests.

Amazing Turtle Canyon Snorkel Adventure !! - We went on the Turtle Canyon snorkel adventure and it was absolutely incredible. The crew didn’t muck around, even getting in the water before us to make sure we were in a good spot to see Turtles. Everything was organised and efficient so we got the most out of our time in the water. The team were so helpful, friendly, and accommodating to everyone on board no matter your snorkelling experience. They made sure those who were nervous in the water felt looked after, and they were even attentive to those feeling a little seasick. The complimentary water, soda and snacks were amazing plus alcoholic drinks for only $5, definitely the cheapest bar on the island!! The whole experience felt fun, safe, and well run. I’d honestly recommend Holokai Catamaran to anyone visiting Waikiki and wanting a memorable snorkel trip with turtles!

Awesome adventure and super fun crew! - This was a last minute decision my wife and I made. It ended up being one of our favorite parts of our entire Hawaii trip! The crew were absolute rockstars and made the whole experience great. We got to see some turtles up close and got great videos with our GoPro. The last hour of the sail was a cruise. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in Waikiki. 100% worth the cost. The boat was not crowded either. All around just an awesome time on the water!

Awesome turtle experience - My daughter and I had a great afternoon with the guys on the boat. Alec was great spotting out the turtles for us and I would highly recommend taking this tour. Just a chilled afternoon. The turtles are just so beautiful. Only downfall, lots of other boats in the area trying to find turtles so was rather packed.
