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

Great Crew

Reviewed by: Caren Wise

We really enjoyed our snorkeling trip with Holokai Catamaran. The crew was very attentive, funny and friendly. They made a point to make sure we saw turtles while we were in the water, and they periodically asked if we were doing ok or needed help with anything throughout the cruise. Any cautionary instructions that they gave us were very warm and polite, not bossy or curt which was especially nice for the kids on our trip.

The snorkeling itself was a little disappointing, but it had nothing to do with Holokai. We just happened to go at a time of year that was really busy. There were several other tour boats snorkeling in the same spot, so the water was crowded. It was a little stressful navigating around other snorkelers and trying to avoid getting a flipper in your face. But again the Holokai crew was in the water with us doing their best to make sure we were seeing turtles and fish.

After snorkeling, the crew let us jump off the boat and swim freely in the water. After that they put up the sails and took us for a super fun ride out past Diamond Head. That was definitely our kids’ favorite part of the experience.

Thank you to Holokai for making the this excursion fun and exciting for our families.

Just ok..save your money

Reviewed by: Kim

Crew and boat were great. Snorkeling spot was just ok. Saw 2 big turtles and a few fish and poor visibility. Very crowded in the water with people pushing into to you and kicking you in the face with their fins. Lunch was very poor. No choice of
Meat/cheese. Best part was the bag of chips! Mai tais had no alcohol. Save your money not worth it. Today, I saw more turtles when I was surfing by the hotel.

Great Experience, Steven was an awesome instructor!

Reviewed by: Steve & Melissa

This was an incredible experience. Our guide Steven did a fabulous job and gave my wife and daughters the confidence to give snorkeling a real try. I would definitely recommend this again, and then take that experience and go to a better snorkeling location. Great way to try it out and make sure you able and ready before making the expensive snorkeling investment!

Barely saw 1 turtle

Reviewed by: Alex

Boat was very nice, friendly staff, but we stopped at 1 site for a while and didn’t see any turtles, then when we got to the more popular spot there were already 4 more boats and we only got to see 1 turtle. The staff didn’t come in the water with us either to help spotting turtles. Other boats had at least 1 crew in the water to guide their group towards the right spot.

It was okay, the crew was great.

Reviewed by: Baker

The only reason I gave an okay was because we ordered breakfast to have on the boat. Some how the company did not order the meals. We were told we would receive a refund. We have not received the refund yet but that also falls on me because I have not followed up. Our snorkeling date was March 16, I am writing this April 10th.

Amazing First Time Snorkeling Experience

Reviewed by: Nishant

Ricki was very patient and helpful in making our (my wife & my) first time snorkeling experience so good. My wife didn't know swimming but Ricki's tips helped put her at ease and she enjoyed it as well. Due to the small group nature of the tour, fortunately there was only 2 of us and we had lots of fun. Saw lots of fishes and reef. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for beginner lessons.

ZOLA IS AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: Lisa Covington

I have to admit that this being my first time snorkeling, I had never been so scared and nervous in my WHOLE life!!

Zola, our instructor, was extremely patient and caring throughout the entire experience. Even through I had to concentrate extremely hard with breathing and using my flippers, I was SO proud of myself and I couldn't have done it without him.

Ask for Zola for the snorkeling tour, you wont' be sorry. You will be in terrific hands!

Up close and personal with sea turtles

Reviewed by: Stan Flouride

This well-run tour took us to a place known as Turtle Canyon a few hundred meters off of Waikiki where sea turtles come to get cleaned by algae eating fish.
There were a couple of dozen of varying ages (judging by their sizes) and though touching is prohibited, it was easy to get close enough that you could have.
Sharp, amusing crew, well maintained and clean masks, snorkels, and fins provided, and cold local beer.
A great combination.

Reviewed by: Andres

It was great! Got to see 8 sea turtles and a lot of fish. After snorkeling, they did a couple of laps around which was really relaxing and even got to see a whale (although I´m sure it might not be that common to see a whale).

The only down side was that it´s in Waikiki so there were several other tours in the same area so it was a bit crowded.

It was AMAZING getting up close and personal with the turtles! I recommend bringing on the trip a waterproof camera or GoPro!!!! The snorkel equipment they provided was clean and in great shape. They offered a full bar and 2 types of draft beer! The Crew was awesome! They kept the drinks coming and provided us with lunch after our swim and was able to just relax out on the boat and enjoy the view.

Great adventure

Reviewed by: Laura L.

It was a great day filled with great adventure. I saw a bunch of turtles and even Had a few swim a little closer than the 2 meters we were told to give them. The crew was fantastic. They were always checking on us on the boat and were always with in sight in the water.

The only thing I didn’t like was the 42 people (plus the 4 crew members) on board. It felt crowded even when were spread out on the nets and side (hard to move around to and from the bar.) capping the max to 35 guests (plus 4 crew) would have made it an outstanding day.

We had a great time. Despite Neptune whipping sand up into the water making the clarity poor the crew made up for it and ensured we had a great time. We still saw green sea turtles both below and above the water. We had a great time just sailing the Cat when it was clear that snorkeling conditions weren't great.

It exceeded my expectations. 予想以上でした

Reviewed by: あいりょう

On the last day of our trip, we searched for activities near Waikiki and made a reservation the day before. The other participants were mostly foreigners, and there were no explanations in Japanese, but we managed to follow along. About 10 minutes after departure, snorkeling began. There weren't many fish, but we saw three sea turtles. The ocean was surprisingly beautiful. After that, we enjoyed sailing and took in views of Diamond Head and Waikiki from the sea. We had a lot more fun than we expected, even near Waikiki!

旅行最終日にワイキキ近くでできるアクティビティを探して前日申込みました。
参加者は私達夫婦以外は外人ばかりで、日本語の説明も全くありませんでしたが、流れでついていきました。
出航から10分くらいでシュノーケルが始まりました。魚はあまりいませんでしたが、ホヌは3匹は見れました。海は意外にもキレイでした。
その後セーリングでダイヤモンドヘッドやワイキキを海から眺めました。
ワイキキ近くでも予想以上に楽しめました！

I was able to swim with sea turtles up close. 間近でウミガメと泳げました。

Reviewed by: うさうさ

On the last day, I joined this tour to find a place to play in Honolulu in the morning. We took a boat from downtown Honolulu to a spot that wasn't too far away. Honestly, I thought it was a bit too close, but I was able to see at least three sea turtles! The water was a bit deep, so it wasn't incredibly clear, but the sea turtles were golden and divine! Moreover, I was able to see them come up to the surface for air, and at that moment, I was truly moved to be swimming so close to the sea turtles!

The cruising after snorkeling was just a slow ride around near Honolulu, so it wasn't particularly exciting, but I was very satisfied because I got to see the sea turtles!

最終日、午前中にホノルルで遊べるところを探してこのツアーに参加しました。ホノルルの中心部から船に乗って、それほど離れていないところまで移動、正直近すぎるポイントだなと思いましたが、ウミガメが少なくとも3頭見れました！少し水深は深いところなので海がめちゃめちゃキレイというわけではないのですが、ウミガメは金色で神々しい！しかも息継ぎに海面に顔を出すところまで見れて、その時にはほんとに間近でウミガメと泳ぐことが出来て感動です！
シュノーケリングした後のクルージングは、ホノルル近くをゆっくり走行しただけなので、それほど楽しいこともなかったのですが、ウミガメを見れたので大満足です！

The best morning activity. 最高の朝活

Reviewed by: きむタダ

In the morning, although it was a bit early, I was able to make good use of my time enjoying snorkeling and a cruise. The staff was friendly, and the views from Diamond Head and off the coast of Waikiki were great. The weather on the day I participated was also favorable, and I even got to see a honu (sea turtle), making it the best morning activity.

午前中、少し早めだけれど時間を有効に使ってシュノーケル&クルーズが楽しめて、スタッフもフレンドリーでダイアモンドヘッドやワイキキ沖からの景色も良かったです。参加した日は天候にも恵まれて、ホヌにも会えて最高の朝活でした。

Unchanging stability 変わらぬ安定感

Reviewed by: vanilla

This was my second time participating in this tour. I usually join the morning sessions, including those from other companies, but this time I thought I’d try the 12 PM session. Just like last time, the staff were all very pleasant. It’s a reliable tour. The visibility wasn’t great this time, but we saw more than five turtles and a decent number of fish. It lasts about two and a half hours, and the fact that it departs right from the heart of Waikiki makes it highly recommended for enjoying such an experience just a bit offshore. I also appreciated that they provide fins along with the snorkeling set.

このツアーには2回目の参加でした。他社のも含めいつも朝イチの方にさんかしてたのですが、たまには午後にしてみようかと今回は12時の回にしてみました。前回同様スタッフはみなさん感じよく。安定感あるツアーです。今回は透明度が今ひとつでしたが、亀さんは5匹以上、魚はまぁまぁいました。2時間半程度で、しかもワイキキど真ん中からのツアー、ワイキキからちょっと沖にでてこれだけ楽しめる、というのは変わらずおすすめ！シュノーケルセットに加えてフィンも貸してくれるのも結構うれしいポイントです。
