Holokai Catamaran sailing on the waters of Waikiki with Diamond Head in the background

Why Holokai?

If you’re looking for an award-winning catamaran tour near your Waikiki hotel, Holokai is the one. We board directly from the beach in Waikiki – no harbor, no shuttle, no bus. Check-in is at our office in the Outrigger Reef Waikiki Beach Resort (2169 Kalia Rd), and most hotels on the strip are within a 10-minute walk. Whether you want to snorkel with sea turtles at Turtle Canyon, sail toward Diamond Head, watch humpback whales breach offshore, or raise a glass at sunset with the Honolulu skyline glowing behind you – Holokai has the tour. Our crew genuinely loves their jobs and being out on the water, and that infectious, welcoming vibe passes directly onto our guests!

The Adventure of a Lifetime

AWESOME EXPERIENCE

We had a great time at the turtle canyon morning snorkel tour. The crew was super friendly and helpful and it was very safe, even you had never snorkeled before you could enjoy this. We saw half a dozen different turtles, surfacing and all. Awesome experience.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Our Waikiki Sunset Cruise did not disappoint! The cruise was one of the highlights of our vacation. We saw a whale and an unbelievable sunset all while enjoying drinks with a great group on the boat. Our captain and bartender were awesome and we highly recommend this experience to all.
