    After having to reschedule because of the weather, I felt so lucky that I was able to make it yesterday before flying back to San Francisco today. I just want to say a big thank you to the professional and friendly crew, you guys are amazing!! especially the cute guy who took care of me when I got seasick and needed to sit at the back, thank you again for your kindness and patience. I loved your great smile, and trust me, acne didn't take away from it. It was truly an unforgettable experience, and I will definitely come back again. I honestly don't want this vacation to end. Thank you for helping make my trip so special! Ka 6.6.26

    Booked with our hotel concierge without even reading any reviews. No need. This is a great business. We checked in at their office in the Outrigger Reef and were walked over to the embarkation spot. Wear slippahs! My husband had shoes and socks . Took off right away and were welcomed with an open bar with lots of options. Great music, plenty of room to move around. We weren't sure if Oahu would deliver a great sunset because the day was kind of cloudy. Um...wow. 90 minutes of joy on the water capped by a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend! Please tip the workers! They are great!

    Awesome snorkeling and sailing trip with Holokai! Captain Mina and crew (Chance, Chase and Colin) took us on a beautiful sail, and showed us Molokai, Maui and Lanai in the distance because it was so clear! The snorkeling spot at Turtle Canyon did show us turtles and many types of tropical fish! The visibility was great at the noon time slot. The snorkel your guides Chase and Colin did a great job showing us what they found and trying to steer us away from the crowds when possible. It was so convenient to leave off the beach, and snacks provided by the crew were perfect when we got out. We recommend them!

    Loved it. The captain and crew were 100% professional and welcoming. They even allowed us to see a humpback whale. It was relaxing and memorable.

    Absolutely incredible experience with these guys! Everything went smoothly, they communicate and work well together to make sure everyone feels safe and are having fun. We not only got to see and get close to some turtles but the sailing was als a great time too. Would 100% recommend this to anyone who wants to have fun adventure at a very reasonable price. Book morning slots for best weather and conditions!

    Ryan, Paul, and our snorkeling instructor were all AMAZING! we turtles, fish, and even dolphins on our trip! We had the same crew for our Sunset Cruise as well and that was also super fun! I highly recommend them for booking excursions! Great time! Great prices! Great staff!

    My daughter and I had an absolute amazing time. The team was so fun and knowledgeable. They made us feel extremely safe and offered their assistance at every moment. It was a great experience and I would recommend this Catamaran to everyone.

    Had a BLAST & the Cap & Bartender were a Hit!!! Definitely recommend going out with these guys

    The Captain & Bartender were awesome! Definitely will be returning, if you're looking for a fun evening this is the people to do it with! Thanks Guys!

    View of the island from the catamaran.

    My tour was pretty good. Both captains were verbally drunk, hence the rating, and went over parts of the Coast Guard mandatory briefing multiple times, which I guess is better than not at all. The only times they spoke to us was to ask if we wanted drinks from the bar. The whole trip was an hour, hour and a half-ish. The ocean was beautiful though. It was really nice to watch the ocean go from a light opal to deep natural blue. We didn't see any whales (and the captains said they hadn't seen any whales all day), but various other people aboard said they had seen turtles and other wildlife that the captains had not pointed out. The captains said they would inform the front desk that we had not seen any whales so we could come back for free at a later date--if they were being serious, it was a nice gesture. All in all, the trip was nice. I enjoyed the view of the island, my cocktail, and my company. However, I didn't enjoy the actual catamaran captains or the company that ran it; I felt very much that I could get a better experience had I gone with a different company.

    At the very front of the boat.

    Ask the Community - Holokai Catamaran

    Do they play music on the cruise?

    Yes! The playlist was very wedding/party ish. A lot of people were singing and dancing along especially after a few drinks!

    Is this cruise ok for 5 year olds? Especially for snorkeling?

    Yes! We took ours and she loved it :)

    Is the sunset cruise kid friendly or is it more like a "booze cruise"? We're looking for a sunset sail with our 11 and 14 yo. Thanks!

    It is extremely kid friendly. When we went there were roughly 10-15 kids of all ages. They loved to sit in the netting in front and the captain would bounce the boat so the kids would get splashed. They were having a great time. When we were coming… 

    How long is the snorkel catamaran and is alcohol and food served?

    We were about 2 1/2 hours out, and that included both snorkeling and sailing. They don't have food, but they do have alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for purchase. The Holokai Hooch is delicious!

From the moment we stepped on board until the very end, every single person made us feel welcome. The perfect balance of professionalism, great customer service, and genuine fun made this one of the highlights of our trip. I work for a company where customer experience is the number one priority, and I can honestly say I would hire every single member of this crew. Their energy, attention to detail, teamwork, and ability to create an unforgettable experience were outstanding. We booked both the Turtle Snorkel Cruise and the Sunset Sail, and not for a single second did we regret spending the money. Every dollar was worth it. If you're debating whether to book with Waikiki Sailing Company, don't hesitate !! you won't regret it. Thank you again to the entire crew for creating such an amazing experience. We'll definitely be recommending you to everyone visiting Hawaii!

    MANA sunset cruise from Ko Olina - the absolute highlight of our trip!!!…read more We are no strangers to Catamaran excursions - trips in the British Virgin Islands, Greece, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. By far, Captain Travis and First Mate Taylor were exceptional, leaving no detail to chance. We were warmly greeted with a drink and were given a very thorough safety briefing. Both were meticulous in their duties to their craft as well as to their guests. The catamaran was immaculate, an outstanding demonstration of the care and maintenance it receives - impressive for a 2008 Cat. Thanks MANA and crews for your care and concern. We had only 5 of us aboard ( they allow a maximum of only 6) which really enhanced the experience. As we got underway drinks were served and then came what I thought was going to be a sampling of local snacks. No, it was a full dinner made by Taylor that was some of the freshest, best food we have had on the Island, followed by a dessert second to none. The other guests dietary restrictions were taken into consideration and we sailed (and for a portion of the trip we were under full sail & not motoring) around with soft Hawaiian reggae playing. The two hours flew by.... We were regaled with stories of the Islands and some very interesting facts. Sure there are less expensive, far more crowded sunset tours... but NOTHING compares to this one. It was worth every cent. When we return we will have already booked this trip before we board our again! Do yourself a favor, splurge on a really personal Hawaiian experience and book this trip. You will be richly rewarded & have memories for years to come! There may be no traffic jams on the extra mile... but you will find on this excursion, Captain Travis & First Mate Taylor are on the extra mile & demonstrate what the extra mile should look like! A very important note - we recommend if you are coming from the Waikīkī area that you plan on leaving early and planning a light lunch at Ko Olina - the Monkeypod, or one of the restaurants in the hotels. The traffic leaving Waikiki in the afternoon is horrible in the afternoon and could take several hours to navigate to Ko Olina.

As first-time snorkelers traveling with a child, our experience did not align with those expectations. Equipment distribution was poorly handled. Masks were handed out with little to no instruction, and basic questions were met with a rude and dismissive attitude. Overall communication and service were lacking. Once in the water, guidance was minimal and inconsistent. The experience felt rushed and disorganized, with limited support for guests who were new to snorkeling. The tone and treatment we received also made us uncomfortable as Asian guests. After sharing feedback, the company clarified in writing that they do NOT advertise or position this as a beginner-friendly snorkeling tour. Based on both that clarification and our experience, I would strongly recommend that beginners or families looking for clear instruction and attentive guidance consider other operators. Sharing this to help future guests set accurate expectations before booking.
