2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Great staff, excursion average

Reviewed by: Lisa

Staff was very friendly and helpful. When we got to the location, was expecting a little more based on what I read on the site. While we did see a couple turtles, they were few and far between. Also not a lot of fish. There were scuba divers in the same spot which made it tricky.

Afterwards, they took us out for about 30 minutes which was great.

I know the snorkeling is sparse on Waikiki so everyone is going to the same spots. Something I wasn't used to.

Tip
Fins are a must. They don't provide them.

I was able to see whales. クジラ見れました

Reviewed by: Linn

I didn't see any tails splashing, but I did see whales multiple times and also witnessed spouting. I opted for the breakfast option, and it had more variety than I expected and was delicious, so I'm glad I chose it. The boat was large, so I didn't get seasick, and the restroom was clean. The view of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the sea was also wonderful! Even if you don't see whales, you can still enjoy the cruise. I would love to participate again.

しっぽバッシャーンのような姿は見られませんでしたが、何度もクジラの姿が見られたし、潮吹きも見られました。朝食付きにしましたが、思っていたよりも種類もあったしおいしかったので付けてよかったです。大きな船だったので船酔いもなく、トイレもきれい、海から見るワイキキ、ダイヤモンドヘッドの姿も素晴らしかったです!もしクジラが見られなくてもクルーズを楽しめます。また参加したいです。

2.5-Hour Waikiki Guided Turtle Snorkel Tour, Snacks & Drinks - Holokai Catamaran

Wonderful excursion for the morning

Reviewed by: Sheesh

I was in Hawaii for business but had a free morning. So I booked this trip as a solo traveler. I think I was the only solo person, everyone else were families. I felt a little odd b/c no one really talked to me, guides included. The guides were very good though - responsible and good intro speech. So happy that one of them found an octopus to touch (though I felt bad for the octopus). The turtles were adorable and came up to breathe very close to us snorkelers. Then we sailed around the bay for a bit which was lovely. I'm very happy I fit this excursion into my business trip.
I was a little unclear on tipping also - the fee said all gratuities included, so I didn't bring any cash. But the guides said to please feed the tip jar if satisfied. Which I was, but I hadn't planned on bringing cash to tip. So that was a little uncomfortable as I didn't want to look like I didn't enjoy myself - I truly did!

Unfortunately, we couldn't see any whales... 残念ながらクジラは見られず・・・

Reviewed by: みーさん

The main event of this trip to Hawaii (laugh) was the whale cruise. The crew members were using binoculars on deck to search for whales, but we didn't see a single one... However, on the way there, we saw a small shark, and on the way back, three dolphins swam alongside the boat, so that was nice. I guess we were a bit late in the season... I'll try again next year.

今回のハワイ旅行のメインイベント(笑)である、クジラクルーズ。
乗組員のスタッフさん達が甲板で双眼鏡を使って探してくれていましたが、一頭も見られませんでした。。。

Captain Tiger's Waikiki Daytime and Sunset Bottom Fishing Cruise [Closed]

Not the best, not the worst

Reviewed by: Lisa

Six of us went fishing and we caught a total of three fish. That seemed to be the general rate of success on the boat when we went. Pros: Great to be picked up at our hotel. The gear was in generally fine shape, Doug worked very hard the entire time between prepping the fishing gear and cooking up the fish that were caught for the ride home. Cons: There were too many people for the size of the boat. There were lots of crossed lines that took a lot of time to fix (Dough could only do so much). You can't catch fish if your line's not in the water. Simply put, there were too many people for the size of the boat and the crew. I could see this being a much better experience with fewer people.

This time in Honolulu, we chose whale watching as a memory for my grandchildren during spring break. The moment we spotted a whale spouting while gazing out at the vast ocean, everyone got excited and shouted loudly. I will never forget this emotion; I enjoyed it as well.

今回のホノルルは、春休みに孫たちの思い出としてホエールウォッチングを選びました、

Waikiki Fishing Tour in Honolulu - Oahu Group Adventure Where You Keep What You Catch by Blue Ocean

First time fishing

Reviewed by: Hafaloha

We were looking for something the kids can do in Waikiki and found this fishing activity online. It is conveiniently
located right at the entrance of the Ala Wai Harbor and three hours out in the ocean was just enough for the kids to try their first
fishing experience-not too short and not too long. The crew member was friendly in assisting us when our rod got stuck and he said that its all about making the squid bait look delicious but
no luck! The person behind us was lucky and caught three fishes but because they were small they got released back into the ocean.
The big green sea turtle and the dolphin pod we saw on our way back to the harbor lifted our spirits at the end of the trip. We will definitely try again!

Just a few days ago, I enjoyed dinner while watching the sunset from Waikiki Beach, but being able to enjoy the sunset from both the sea and the land, Hawaii is truly the best!

They knew exactly how to keep everyone happy and safe! I see so many turtle, fishes and and octopus that the crew actually snatched and had us hold.

We had a great time, enjoyed the food and first class service as well as entertainment and fireworks. The only negative was that if you eat different meals, you can't sit together in the same room.

Waikiki Afternoon Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar - Holokai Catamaran [May 1st - October 31st]

Meh

Reviewed by: CG

We travel a lot and love an afternoon sail. Wednesday's 3pm sail featured mellow 70s music (CCR, Eagles, and that classic plane crash ditty Fire and Rain, along with some 50s tunes). Really? Music that's 40 - 58 years old?

The captains seemed barely engaged in their jobs, chatting with each other about filing their taxes for much of the 90 minute sail.

Though the trades weren't blowing, no effort was made to find enough wind to make it feel like a sail, nor did our crew display any interest in pointing out local landmarks, Hawaiian history and lore, or the flora and fauna.

There were good at hustling the $2 waters and sodas and $10 refillable drinks and reminding us to tip.

Snooze.

Waikiki Fishing Tour in Honolulu - Oahu Group Adventure Where You Keep What You Catch by Blue Ocean

Caught a fish!

Reviewed by: George from Denver

I've never been to a fishing cruise so this was a great excursion for a first timer like myself. The boat actually departed from right behind the Hilton Waikiki Hotel where we stayed, so we could just walk over to the check-in. The crew was super friendly and helpful. It did take a few tries to get a hang of it, and the fish kept taking our bait. After my 4th or 5th try, I caught my first fish! They did change the fishing spot a few times and one of the passengers got an edible fish so they cooked it right there and served everyone. Highly recommended for the entire family!

First of all, we had the experience of riding a glass-bottom boat at various tourist spots, but my eldest and second sons were extremely excited about the submarine. There were many families with small children, and it was great that we could enjoy our time without any issues even when our youngest shouted loudly every time he saw a fish or a turtle inside the vessel. The next day, we were very satisfied playing in the sand at the beach during departure.

Reviewed by: jan7

I waited at the ticket booth 30 minutes before departure, but there was no one around. As I kept waiting, a lot of people started gathering near the catamaran. In the end, check-in began right at the departure time in front of the catamaran, and we were photographed as a group. We boarded while getting wet up to our thighs. Although we were assigned seats, it seemed we could sit anywhere if there were open spots. Some people stood the whole time getting splashed with water, and I worried if they were cold. (It wasn't cold if you didn't get splashed.) There were about five Japanese people, and the Mai Tai was very delicious, so be careful not to drink too much.

We enjoyed the wind and turned around at the back of Diamond Head, then had a luxurious time watching the sunset. Perhaps because of the season, we were lucky enough to see a whale's tail.

Everyone was excited about the crew's talk, but it was totally fine not to understand English.

The tour ended on time. Right after getting off, photos were printed and sold for $20, but it was perfectly fine to decline. However, the photo of us with the blue ocean, Diamond Head, and the catamaran in the background turned out beautifully, so we decided to buy it.

I've experienced sunset cruises on luxury ships, but I want to go on this tour again. I wonder when I can go next.
