Fun outing in Waikiki!

Reviewed by: Erika, 2017/01/11

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.

Great Value

Reviewed by: Amy Ryan, 2017/01/04

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. We will definitely do it again.

Reviewed by: kirk, 2016/11/28

Perfect way to spend an afternoon in Waikiki! The Catamaran was fun by itself, but then snorkeling with the Turtles made it even that much better. When we decide to travel to Hawaii again, we will definitely do this trip again. Great value for the money.

Awesome Day!

Reviewed by: Greg Raymer, 2016/11/06

I always wanted to check out the Turtle Canyon, and, on this particular trip, I was able to. My only complaint was that it was on the western edge of Waikiki Beach, which was somewhat inconvenient. In a perfect world, it would have been placed in the center of Waikiki's hotel row. I boarded the catamaran and was greeted by a very friendly and personable crew. Once on board, the staff gave us a safety briefing, then explained the protocol for snorkeling the area. Once we arrived at our destination, the captain dropped anchor and the group was off. It was not long before someone spotted some turtles. All of us watched in awe as we observed their underwater universe. We were in the water quite a while before the captain signaled us to come aboard. Then, we were treated to a magnificent sailing past Diamond Head and around Waikiki Beach. Between the snorkeling (an excellent exercise for me), the turtles and the sail, it was a perfect afternoon for me. I was back in time to go with my friend for evening entertainment. This is one of the top three activities you must do before you leave Hawaii. It is truly a magical day!

We had a blast!

Reviewed by: Jessie, 2016/08/24

We saw several amazing turtles and schools of fish. The crew was great - one member stayed by my son in the water until he was comfortable, and then dove down to get cool stuff off the sea floor to show him. The sailing portion was a blast. They let my son drive the boat which will be an awesome memory for him. I would definately do this again.

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 , 2016/05/16

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.

Awesome chance to swim with turtles!!!

Reviewed by: Sarah L., 2016/04/18

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!

Above and Beyond!

Reviewed by: Nunia T., 2016/03/27

This tour was just above and beyond! Im not a beach person nor do I like swimming but this turtle snorkel just made me fall in love with the ocean. The captain and crew were great! 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. I love this snorkel and will definitely be going back!

Turtle Canyon Snorkel Sail

Reviewed by: Tim, 2016/03/24

Great crew, great boat and lots of turtles. We were amazed how close to shore we were and how many turtles we saw. The turtles do not seem to be phased by the snorkelers and just hang around having their shells cleaned by the small reef fish. Fantastic to watch!

Definitely worth it!

Reviewed by: Extremely satisfied , 2016/03/07

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: Adrian, 2016/03/04

This was my first experience in the ocean and snorkelling and sailing. The crew was excellent. Professional, knowledgeable, and very fun. Felt very safe and comfortable at all times. Saw multiple sea turtles, tropical fish, an octopus, sea urchins, and an amazing view of diamond head and Waikiki beach. You won't regret it.

Best Dive!!!

Reviewed by: John Wood, 2016/03/01

I've been diving all over the world for the past 15 years and this is by far one of my favorites. Beautiful water with greater than 50 feet of visibility. Saw seven sea turtles up close and it was just a spectacular experience. Make sure to rent the fins from the beach, worth it. Crew was knowledgeable, friendly and just all around awesome. So was the house special drink. This is a not to missed experience with a company that makes it unforgettable. They will absolutely see me again.

Loved it!

Reviewed by: Kasevonne, 2016/02/28

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.
