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

Great value!

Reviewed by: Jay

Memorable experience! The crew provided a fun relaxed environment. They were attentive to our needs but allowed you freedom to explore the boat. Excellent snorkeling near the reef. My family had the opportunity to view a variety of sea creatures. Free snacks while sailing was an added bonus. Great overall experience at an economical price.

Amazing experience!

Reviewed by: Jackie Frymire

From check in to check out, this cruise was absolutely outstanding. The crew took great care of every detail without making you feel micromanaged! You want to swim with turtles?! Sign up! You spend 1.5 hours snorkeling with these amazing creatures. Back on the katamaran, lunch was delicious and plenty of cocktails and soft drinks. Then sails up and sail and it was breathtaking! I really can’t say enough good about this cruise. I would do it everyday if I could! Thank you Capt Josh and your awesome crew for making this the experience of a lifetime! They go above and beyond to ensure it is the BEST experience!

BEST THING WE DID IN WAIKIKI BY FAR!!!!

Reviewed by: KRIS & CHELSEA

Captain Ryan and his crew definitely do a great job!! You can tell they all love their job and give their customers 150% every time!! We got to swim with turtles and lots of fish and every time we saw Dolphins they would go chasing them to make sure we got a close look every time. The girls at the front desk were also very helpful and when we wanted to buy souvenirs they went out of their way to go upstairs and show us everything they had. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Swimming with turtles and sailing with dolphins was amazing! It felt like a great deal for the price. I participated in the morning session, and there were hardly any Japanese people, so it was a deep American tour.

Great staff, great experience!

Reviewed by: laf3g

Great staff who made the trip lots of fun. Saw tons of turtles, though not a great variety of other fish - but I was there to see turtles, and so I was happy as can be!
Got a little woozy after being out on the ocean, and they immediately recognized it (without me having to say anything!) and offered me a dab of lavendar oil behind my ears/under my nose that cleared it right up.

Overall a great trip, highly recommend!

I highly recommend it. It's right by Waikiki Beach, so you can enjoy it without wasting time and be very satisfied! I was surprised to see about five sea turtles up close. This was my first time snorkeling like this, and I was really moved. We also saw whales spouting from a distance while sailing! Plus, it ends at 11:30 (but actually lasts a solid three hours), so you can do other things in the afternoon, which is fantastic. Snacks are all-you-can-eat!

すごくオススメです。ワイキキビーチからすぐの所なので時間が取られることなく大満足できます！
ウミガメさんも5匹くらい普通に見れて結構そばに寄ってくれてびっくりしました☆

Morning snorkel cruise from the Hilton Pier

Reviewed by: Howard

We took the Lunch cruise from the Hilton Pier on Waikiki beach to see the sea turtles, it was a great time to go out onto the water. Nice short ride out to the turtle area. The crew was fantastic, very informative and friendly. Gave great instructions on how to see the turtles and one of the crew members was in the water for assistance and to answer questions. After viewing the turtles they put the sail up and we sailed a little further out to sea and that was fun and exciting. Very nice lunch buffet and a few Mai Tais also made it a great time. Clean boat, great crew, nice lunch and got to swim with the Turtles! Will definitely do this cruise again when back on Waikiki.

Reviewed by: George

We had a wonderful time on the trip. The snorkel is the first part of the event. There were numerous fish and handful of large turtles. Then there is a brief sail around the area. On our sail we encountered humpback whales and a massive pod of dolphins.

I realize, to a degree the whole adventure is a crap shoot. Someone that encountered no turtles, whales, or dolphins might rate the trip less highly, but we felt this was well worth our time and highly recommend.

It was a little hard to get to (the hotels are so close together) so remember to get there early! We got there just in time. The boat is beautiful docked on the beach. The crew were so wonderful and friendly. We saw a bunch of turtles! It was amazing when they would surface for air RIGHT NEXT TO US! I wish the water was clearer, but it was still a great experience. Then we got to lounge in the boat and sail over off of Diamond Head. We saw spinner dolphins spinning out of the water. There were about 10 other people on the boat with us, but still cozy. They offer free snacks and you can purchase drinks (water, juice and alcohol) on the boat. We were back in time to join my family for lunch! perfect morning excursion at a great price!

There are so many sea turtles!!! 海亀がたくさん！！！

Reviewed by: ゆこん

I had a great time! I was a bit anxious about snorkeling in deep water where my feet couldn't touch the bottom, but thanks to the life jacket being fully inflated, I had enough buoyancy and it wasn't scary at all. If you've snorkeled before, you'll definitely enjoy it!

Since it's out in the ocean, there are mostly black fish, so if you're looking to see colorful fish, this might not be the best spot. However, there are plenty of sea turtles! I saw at least five! Watching them swim in groups was wonderful!

It seems to be a diving spot, as there were divers from diving tours below us. I was very satisfied watching the sea turtles and fish gracefully swimming in the deep sea! During the boat ride, I also got to see dolphins and whales, which was a nice touch for Hawaii!

Just a heads up, after snorkeling, the cruising can be a bit chilly with a wet body in the wind, so I recommend dressing warmly. Also, the boat goes quite fast, so if you're prone to seasickness, be prepared. They also do some leisurely sailing with the sails up, which added a nice variety to the experience.

You can easily enjoy this without going far, right off the coast of Waikiki, so I definitely recommend it!

とっても楽しかったです！
足がつかない沖でのシュノーケルが不安でしたがライフジャケットをパンパンに膨らましたため、浮力があったので怖いことはなくシュノーケルしたことある方なら十分楽しめます！
沖なので、魚は黒い魚が多く色とりどりの魚を見たい方には向きません。
ただ、海亀はたくさんいます！5匹は見れました！群れて泳ぐ姿が良かったです！
ダイビングスポットなのか、下にはダイビングツアーのダイバーも。
深い海を優雅に泳ぐ海亀と魚に大満足です！
船で移動中には、イルカの背やホエールも見れてハワイ詰め合わせでした！
ただ、シュノーケル後にクルージングなので濡れた体が風にあたり寒いです。しっかり防寒することをお勧めします。
また、かなりスリリングに船を飛ばしてくれるので酔いやすい方は対策を。
ゆったり帆を張ってスローなクルージングもしてくれるので緩急あって飽きませんでした。
遠くに行かなくてもワイキキ沖で手軽に楽しめるのでぜひ！

Encountered sea turtles and seals while snorkeling, and sailing was thrilling. シュノーケリングでウミガメ、アザラシにも遭遇、セーリングが迫力満点

Reviewed by: kaz

There were a lot of fish while snorkeling, but I was a bit disappointed that there were few colorful ones. We went as a family of three, and my daughter, who is not fond of the ocean, stayed close to me, allowing us parents to enjoy snorkeling with peace of mind. We were also able to see sea turtles underwater and seals floating on the surface nearby. The sailing after snorkeling, with the splashes of waves, was surprisingly thrilling and fun.

シュノーケリングで魚は沢山いたのですが、色の付いた魚が少なかったのが、少しガッカリでした。家族3人で行ったのですが、海が苦手な娘にずっと付き添ってもらえて、親は安心してシュノーケリングを楽しめました。海中のウミガメ、海に浮かぶアザラシも近くで見えました。シュノーケリング後の波飛沫を上げて進むセーリングが思いの外、迫力があり楽しかったです。

Waikiki Turtles and Cruise

Reviewed by: Amanda

This is a great activity for all ages! The crew are very friendly and accommodating and the excursion is very well organized. We saw several large turtles and one juvenile turtle! The best thing about this excursion is not only do you have the chance to snorkel with lots of turtles, but the crew takes you out for a sail where you can enjoy cocktails onboard. Really great way to end the perfect tour!

Recommendation: if you are strong swimmer, you should consider renting fins to dive down and get a closer look at the turtles!

Sea turtle ウミガメ

Reviewed by: のりこ

We were the only Japanese people on the tour. I couldn't understand Japanese, and I didn't know what the captain was saying, but it was okay, haha.

The tour description mentioned that they would lend us fins, but they only provided snorkeling gear and life jackets. I think the tour details need to be updated. Everyone else around us brought their own fins! It was fine without them, though.

Before boarding, they took photos (which they later sold for $20).
↓
Once we set out, we encountered a pod of dolphins!
↓
There was only one snorkeling spot. We got to swim with five big turtles! If you have a GoPro, the staff will dive down to take pictures of the turtles for you.
↓
We enjoyed drinks (for a fee) while listening to music and having fun. They said that if you jumped into the sea, beer was free! But it was too cold for me to do that.
↓
We went further out to look for whales, but we couldn't find any and had to head back.

Although I couldn't understand Japanese, the staff lady was cheerful and friendly.

I usually don't get motion sickness, but I felt seasick this time. It was cold in January, so be prepared!

日本人は私達だけでした。日本語も通じませんし、船長は何言ってるかわかりませんでしたが大丈夫です笑

Very friendly staff. Check in place is walking distance from my hotel. Since I do get sea sick, I took motion sickness pill an hour before and I didn't eat until it's time to go back to Waikiki beach. Therefore, providing snacks only without meals is perfect for me. They have a guide to swim with us and find turtles and other sea life for us. Our guide even dived to retrieve GoPro for a girl in our group. After snorkeling, they rises their sail and took us to see whales. My 2 teenage boys really enjoyed the activity the whole time.
