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

A Waikiki Must!

Reviewed by: Jackie

This was our first time visiting Hawaii and we definitely wanted to check out a catamaran tour. This was by far the best choice for us. The tour was amazing! Very convenient and affordable choice.

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

So boring!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed by: Visitors from Oregon

The snorkeling part was good. Remaining hour and a half was the most boring tour I even had in Hawaii. Complete waste of time and money. Would not recommend this tour to anybody.

Departing from Waikiki Beach! Snorkeling and sailing by Holokai Catamaran. ワイキキビーチ出発!シュノーケル・セーリング by ホロカイ・カタマラン号

Reviewed by: JJJ

Despite the rain and bad weather at the time of departure, the crew made it enjoyable, and I had a great time. I was a bit disappointed that there were fewer types of fish than I expected, so I thought it would be nice if we could go a little further out.

出航時は雨が降り悪天候にも関わらず、乗組員に盛り上げて頂き楽しかったです。思ったより、魚の種類が少なくて残念だったので、もう少し遠出できるといいのかと思いました。

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

Best snorkeling I have ever done

Reviewed by: Elise Wilson

Seconds after we got to the snorkeling spot, one of the guides emerged from the water holding an octopus, which everyone got to see and interact with. There were probably 7 or 8 sea turtles of all sizes and ages around us the whole time we were in the water, in addition to the tropical fish and moray eels on the reef. It was absolutely incredible.

I really enjoyed this snorkel trip. The catamaran and the crews were wonderful. I saw lots of fish and three giant turtles. The length of the trip and the price are just right. I would totally recommended this tour.

Sail and snorkel

Reviewed by: Greg Jones

We had a great time. They were right on time. The boat was very clean. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the sea life. They knew what the the different fish were that we were seeing, we found some huge Turtles that swam with us. Then we just sailed on the boat for an hour or so. Was a great trip and I highly recommend it. This is not a BOOZE CRUZ. This is well done and professional!!

ウミガメシュノーケリング ホロカイ・カタマラン号 高確率でウミガメに会えるタートルキャニオンへ!ソフトドリンク&スナック付き<3時間/英語/ワイキキホテル発>

Snorkeling was satisfying. シュノーケリングは満足

Reviewed by: 菊千代

The meeting place was hard to find, and I ended up wandering the beach for about ten minutes, which made me late, but it wasn't a problem. There was a staff member sitting near a banner that I saw in other people's posted photos. I was asked to write something in English, but I wasn't sure what to write, so I just wrote my name, and it seemed to be fine.

Around 9 o'clock, the cruiser arrived and we departed. I was the only Japanese person; the others were several families from overseas. There was an explanation in English, and while I couldn't catch everything, I understood the general idea of how to put on the life jacket and what to do in case of an emergency. I was given a life jacket and a mask, but I didn't receive fins; perhaps I could have borrowed them if I had asked. I found it cumbersome, so I just swam without them.

We quickly spotted sea turtles, and they were quite close. Two turtles came up for air right in the middle of about ten people swimming, which was very exciting. If I looked closely, I could also see several turtles on the seabed.

There weren't many types of fish, but there were plenty of them. The crew threw food from the cruiser, so the fish swam quite close. I got too excited and tired after about 30 minutes and climbed back onto the cruiser. Still, I was satisfied with how many sea turtles I saw. Others were taking breaks and swimming for quite a long time, enjoying their time freely.

However, in the latter part, I brought this upon myself; I got too excited and tired, and I had inflated my life jacket too much, which pressed on my stomach, combined with forgetting to take motion sickness medication, and I ended up feeling quite nauseous. A kind staff member noticed and brought me some water.

The weather was nice, and while I was enjoying the beautiful scenery during the cruise, I eventually felt better. If I had taken the motion sickness medication, it could have been an even more amazing memory. Even though the weather was good, there was some wind, so I was glad I brought a long-sleeved jacket and a large towel.

The staff couldn't speak Japanese, but when they realized I didn't understand, they communicated with gestures, and they were all kind and cheerful people. I have done snorkeling a few times, so I was okay, but since the time at the turtle spot felt quite free, it might be a bit anxiety-inducing for first-timers. However, if I have the chance to go to Waikiki again, I would like to participate once more.

集合場所が分かりづらくって10分浜辺をウロウロした為遅刻したのですが、問題はなかったです。
他の人の投稿写真にあった垂れ幕の近くに椅子に座ったスタッフさんがいました。
英語で何か書いてと言われたんですが、よくわからずとりあえず名前を書いたんですが、大丈夫そうでした。
9時ごろクルーザーが来て出発。日本人は私一人でした。他は海外の家族が何組かいました。英語で説明があり、全部とは言えませんがなんとなくライフジャケットのつけ方と緊急時の呼び方を言ってると分かりました。ライフジャケットとマスクは渡されたのですが、フィンが渡されず、言えば貸してもらえたのかもしれません。私は邪魔なのでそのまま泳ぎました。
ウミガメはすぐ見つかりました。しかも、かなり近いです。2匹が息継ぎのために10人ほど人が泳いでいる真ん中にあがってきて、とても興奮しました。目をこらすと海底でもウミガメが数匹確認できました。
種類は少ないですが魚もいっぱいいます。クルーザーから餌を投げてくれるので、かなり近くに泳いでます。
はしゃぎすぎて30分弱で疲れてクルーザーに上がりました。それでも充分ウミガメが見れて、満足できました。他の人は休み休み入ったり。かなり長く泳いでたりと自由に過ごしていました。
ただ、後半自業自得なのですが、はしゃぎすぎて疲れたのと、ライフジャケット空気を入れすぎて胃が圧迫されたのと、酔い止め薬を飲み忘れたのが重なって、かなり気持ち悪くなってしまいました。優しいスタッフが気付いてお水をくれました。
天気が良く、クルージングのとても良い景色を見ていたら、最後は復活しましたが、酔い止め薬飲んでおけば、本当に最高の思い出になったかもしれません。
天気は良くても風などがあるので、長袖の上着と大きめのタオルを持って行ってよかったです。
スタッフさんは日本語話せないのですが、私がわかってないとわかると身振りや手ぶりで伝えてくれて、優しいくて陽気な人たちばかりでした。
私はシュノーケリングは何回かしたことがあるので大丈夫でしたが、ウミガメがいるスポットについて、ただ自由時間って感じなので、初めての人にはちょっと不安が多いかもしれません。
でも、私はワイキキに行くことがあったら、また参加したいなと思いました。

Great Crew so so snorkeling due to semi-choppy water

Reviewed by: FatMan64

Outstanding crew. My wife does great in calm water but with the choppy water she was apprehensive about snorkeling. The crew calmed her and threw bred crumbs into the water by her to get fish to come near her so she could enjoy the snorkeling close to the boat. Food was great.

Reviewed by: ぽてと

I was thrilled to see sea turtles up close! The cruise had cheerful music and lasted nearly an hour! I was very satisfied! However, there was no shade, so I would definitely recommend providing something like umbrellas for those who are concerned about sunburn.

ウミガメをめっちゃ近くで見れて興奮しました!クルーズも陽気な音楽がかかっていて1時間近くありました!とても満足です!ただ影がないので日焼けが気になる人の為に是非パラソルの様な日陰を作って欲しいです。

Fun sailing and snorkeling combo tour. Although the visibility was poor this day, they offered discounted tours for those who wanted to come again. I got lucky and came face to face with a nice sized honu, so no visibility problem when it's literally almost in your face.

Well worth the price!

This was my second time participating. We were the only Japanese people, but even if you can't speak English, they can communicate in simple Japanese, and if you're not allergic to English, I think you can manage with gestures (laughs). I will upload a photo taken when we arrived at the snorkeling point after heading out to sea. The water and sky were both very beautiful and soothing. Life jackets and snorkeling sets (without fins) are included in the cost and are provided for free. This time, we were lucky enough to see three sea turtles! It was late December, but since I was wearing a long-sleeved rash guard, I didn't feel cold and enjoyed it. After snorkeling, free water and snacks (like chips and cookies) are distributed. I had two cups of sparkling water (I think it was $3 each). Payment is made all at once after arrival (I paid $10 including tips). On the way back, the boat rocked so much that it felt like a banana boat, which entertained the passengers (laughs), but the inside of the boat was flooded. There were about two people who seemed to be seasick and were feeling exhausted, but the staff kindly helped them by letting them smell some aromatherapy. I had a great time again. I will definitely participate next time I go to Hawaii!

2回目の参加です。日本人は私達だけですが英語が話せなくても簡単な日本語は話してくれますし、英語アレルギーが無ければ身振り手振りでも何とかなると思います(笑)。沖まで出てシュノーケルポイントに到着した時の写真をアップロードします。海の中も空もとてもキレイで癒されました。ライフジャケットとシュノーケルセット(足ひれ無し)は費用に含まれているので無料で配布されます。今回は運が良くウミガメ3匹を見る事ができました!12月下旬でしたが長袖のラッシュガードを着ている事もあり寒さを感じる事無く楽しめました。シュノーケル後は無料でお水やお菓子(チップスやクッキーなど)が配られます。私は有料のスパークリング(3ドルだったかな?)を2杯もらいました。支払いは到着後まとめて払います(私はチップ込で10ドル払いました)。帰りはバナナボートかと思うくらい大きく揺らして乗客を楽しませてくれたので(笑)船内は大洪水でした。2人位船酔いのようでぐったりしている方がいましたがスタッフの方がアロマを嗅がせたり優しく対応をしていました。今回もとても楽しめました。次回ハワイに行く時も、必ず参加します!!

We had a great trip! lots of fun, great weather. The water was a little murky, was hoping it would be clearer but we saw lots of turtles & that was awesome We loved the cruise up past Diamondhead - perfect leghth of tim to enjoy but not get bored. I do think $60 was a little too high for what we got but I will also say my whole family incl 2 teens loved the trip & that made it worth it to me :)
Non alcoholic drinks should be included I think - soda or water at least! The snacks were a nice touch tho. Really enjoyed our outing & would do it again for sure. Great crew too & kocation was perfect for us to walk to from our hotel.

Hawaii is expensive let's be honest. This is a great trip for the money. We had a group of 15 from age 3-65. It was an amazing adventure for all. When we finished snorkeling, the boat ride around diamond head with cocktails and great music was perfect. Thank you to our Captain Ryan and crew for a laidback barefoot excursion.
