The crew (Captain Ryan, Philippe, and Erica) were awesome! Super FUN tribe of professionals. The excursion itself was amazing, even for a short trip to see the turtles. I was very impressed with how the crew worked with people who weren't strong swimmers-- very gentle and encouraging. An overall awesome excursion-- I highly recommend!

Best tour I've taken in Hawaii to date

Reviewed by: Cms

of all my snorkelling experiences in Hawaii over the past 5 years,
I would say this was the best to date. Turtles are surrounding you
And actually come up from underneath you so you have to kick
Away so as not to invade their space. Crew was very informative and friendly.
Chose the 9 am option so as to have lunch buffet after a morning of snorkelling.

Snorkeling and pleasant sailing off Waikiki ワイキキ沖でのシュノーケルと気持ちよいセーリング

Reviewed by: こううん

I was a bit worried because there were reviews saying the meeting place was hard to find, but it was right there as soon as I went down the east corridor of Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort towards the beach. Once we reached the point in the ocean, we put on life jackets and snorkels and went underwater. We saw many black fish, and occasionally some white and colorful fish, and I was even able to see a sea turtle come up for air. Although there were no fins, I had a great time.

After everyone caught their breath, we went sailing. The weather was nice, the wind felt good, and the view was great. Snacks and drinks were provided. My wife had a bit of a tough time with seasickness, so it might be a good idea for those who are prone to motion sickness to take some medication beforehand.

集合場所がわかりにくいという口コミがあったので少し不安でしたが、Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resortの東側の通路を海に向かっていってビーチに出たところにすぐありました。沖に出てポイントに着いたらライフジャケットとシュノーケルをつけて海中へ。たくさんの黒い魚と、ときどき白やカラフルな魚が見え、また一度ウミガメが息継ぎに上がってきたのを見ることができました。フィンはありませんでしたが、十分楽しめました。
みんなが一息ついたらセーリング。天気もよく風も気持ちよく、眺めもよかったです。スナックやドリンクが出ました。妻は船酔いで少し大変でしたので、酔いやすい人は酔い止めを飲むなどの対策をした方がよいかもしれません。

Awesome chance to swim with turtles!!!

Reviewed by: Sarah L.

My boyfriend and I were in Hawaii last week with friends and this was one of the highlights of our trip! We stayed at Sheraton Waikiki so this catamaran was an easy walk right next door along the beach. They take you out about 15 mins into the ocean where we snorkeled and saw 300lb sea turtles that swim right next to you! After snorkeling grab a spot on the nets and you're in for a fun ride over some waves! The staff is fun and friendly as well!

It was fun. I want to do it again.

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.

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!

Reviewed by: Extremely satisfied

Outstanding crew aboard the Holokai Catamaran...Extremely friendly, helpful and fun. They made sure all guests were instructed in snorkel usage before entering the water and were right there next to us in the water ready to aid for any reason.
Our sail was extra exciting as dolphins swam around our catamaran, and we spotted whales too. We were able to swim amongst sea turtles and an array of fish.
*Would I recommend Holokai Catamaran Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail to my friends and family?
YES!!
*Would I ever take this sail again?
ABSOLUTELY YES!!
Reasonably priced for this adventure with buffet and they do not over crowd the boat. They even had a snorkel with a prescription mask so I could see underwater without glasses.

Reviewed by: アーニー

It was a luxury to be able to view the beach from the ocean side. Swimming with the turtles while snorkeling was a lot of fun. There were many turtles, and they seemed unfazed by the large number of tourists. Since we were on a boat, I didn't bring my camera or any money, so I couldn't take any photos, which was disappointing. If you have some pocket money, you can buy drinks.

ビーチを海側から眺められるのはぜいたくでよかった。

Reviewed by: Kasevonne

We did some other snorkelling while in Hawaii and were quite disappointed. We were so glad we booked this trip to do some more. We were taken out to some deeper water and as soon as we jumped off the boat we saw multiple turtles! It was amazing. I have never seen turtles this big and so many in one spot. We spent about an hour snorkelling and then went on a sail out in the sun. The boat is quite spacious and room for groups to keep to themselves or sit with others. The staff were all very helpful and fun to have a chat to. I would definitely go out with these guys again if we return to Hawaii.

Seasickness 船酔い

Reviewed by: hayashi

We participated as a couple. As soon as we exited the hotel and reached the beach, we saw the boat, so we arrived without any confusion. There were about 20 participants that day, but we were the only Japanese people.

The weather was nice, and it was great that we got to see sea turtles. However, during snorkeling, there was an incident where my wife's life jacket lost air. Since she couldn't swim, she was quite panicked. I waved to the guide on the boat, but they just smiled and waved back, thinking it was a simple greeting, and didn’t come to help. When I shouted "Help" loudly, a guide swimming nearby brought a float, and we managed to resolve the situation. Perhaps there was an explanation on how to call for help during the initial English guidance.

When we got back on the boat, I found that my life jacket was also about 70% deflated. I had checked how to inflate it and how to maintain the valve with the guide, so the equipment itself might have been faulty.

After snorkeling, we cruised towards Diamond Head. The waves were quite big, and I ended up feeling sick. When I asked the guide where the restroom was because I thought I might throw up, I was told, "Don't throw up in the restroom," so I had to hold it in. Eventually, I couldn't hold it anymore and ended up using a plastic bag.

There were other guests who also felt sick, but after applying lavender essential oil, they received a bucket that said "Let's Do It" and were encouraged with "Let's Do it." There were several people who were rescued from near drowning and others who felt unwell, but they were all Asian. The Western guests seemed to be having a great time, drinking alcohol on the boat. It might be a tour more suited for Westerners (laughs).

夫婦二人で参加しました。
ホテルからビーチに出るとすぐに船が見えたため、迷うことなく到着。当日は20人ほど参加していましたが、日本人は私たち二人だけでした。
天気が良く、ウミガメにも会えた点は良かったです。
しかし、シュノーケリング中、妻の救命胴衣から空気が抜けるハプニングが発生。妻は泳げなかったのでかなり焦りました。船にいるガイドに手を振ったのですが、単なるコミュニケーションと思ったのかニコニコ手を振りかえしてくるだけで助けてもらえず。「Help」と大きな声を上げたところ近くで泳いでいたガイドさんが浮き輪を持ってきて来てくれて事なきを得ました。もしかしたら、最初の英語のガイダンスのところで助けの呼び方などの説明があったのかもしれません。船に上がると私の救命胴衣も7割ほど空気が抜けていました。空気の入れ方、弁の保持の仕方等はガイドさんにチェックしてもらい実施していたので道具自体が良くなかったのかもしれません。
シュノーケリング後はダイヤモンドヘッドの方などをクルージング。結構波が大きく、今度は私の気分が悪くなってしまいました。トイレで吐こうと思いガイドさんにトイレの場所を聞くと、「トイレでは吐くな」と言われ我慢することに。その後、とうとう我慢ができずにビニール袋に戻しました。
他のお客さんも気分が悪くなった人はいましたが、ラベンダーのアロマオイルを塗られた後、「Let's Do It」と書かれたバケツをもらい、「Let's Do it」と言われていました。
溺れかかって助けられた人、気分の悪くなった人は複数人いましたが全てアジア人。西洋人は船上でお酒をがぶがぶ飲みとても楽しそうでした。西洋人向きのツアーなのかもしれません（笑）
