Second time doing this sunset cruise and it's been amazing both times. Such a fun way to be out on the water in Waikīkī! Some logistics to know about: you can get validated parking at the Embassy Suites for $15 (4 hours). If you want free street parking, you'll need to come much earlier and give yourself extra time to get to check-in. Check-in itself is super easy annd it's inside the Outrigger near Monkeypod. The staff is genuinely kind and welcoming from the start. They give a quick safety talk and then walk you down to the boat You'll step into the water to board and you're not allowed to wear shoes, so honestly don't even bother bringing any. It's a catamaran with nets to sit on (my favorite spot) plus regular seating and plenty of space to move around. Unlimited drinks are included and the crew constantly checks in to see if you need anything. Both times I've gone we've seen whales, which feels so special! It is definitely choppy so if you get seasick easily this might not be your move. If you're a water baby though, you'll thoroughly enjoy this experience! It also gets windy, so bring a jacket. If you love being on the water, sunsets, and a fun but relaxed vibe, this is such a good option. Highly recommend! read more

Awesome cruise. Worth the money! Their special hooch drink was really good (and strong). Maybe not the best if you have kids since the open bar is, in my opinion, what this cruise is all about compared to others! read more

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.

Holokai Catamaran - Sunset - Boating Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

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! read more

Absolutely Perfect Sunset Sail! Our catamaran sunset cruise was pure magic from start to finish. The crew was so friendly, attentive, and made everyone feel welcome right away. The drinks were delicious and flowing, the music set the perfect vibe, and the views -- just breathtaking! Watching the sun dip below the horizon from the water was unforgettable. Everything about this experience was smooth, fun, and full of aloha. It was definitely a highlight of our trip and we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Waikiki -- it's the perfect blend of relaxation, great service, and island spirit! read more

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! read more

Fun experience! Beautiful views. Friendly staff and good music. Would recommend to anyone visiting for your first time. read more

Booking was easy and price was a great value for the Sunset Cruise. Professional staff in the Outrigger resort did a good job with check in and boarding. Once on board the cruise was a dynamic and high energy experience and sailed farther west than expected making for a memorable cruise and outstanding water and Diamond Head views. Maybe coulda timed sunset a little better but that big star was definitely going down to west on the way back! Would recommend to anyone! Especially the only over 21 part of this ride. read more

My husband and I had a great time. The crew on board were fun. I recommend this catamran snorkeling tours.

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. read more

I would say this check in office is the most beautiful and welcoming one in any cruise companies. 3 crews were all nice. Considering we were 46, almost the capacity of 50, it was easy to order drinks. Holokai Hooch was tasty. The capacity for the net area is 3 people. We were happy to see the beautiful sunset although we were not expecting because it was really cloudy. read more

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. read more

Our group had so much FUN on the Catamaran!! The host and driver were awesome!! I would definitely go again!!

What a lovely time on the Holokai Catamaran for the sunset cruise: great views, a safe experience, good drinks, and a pleasant atmosphere. Mitchel and Cole (and the team beforehand) made us feel safe, and we were not concerned about the ride. Even though it was safe, that does not mean it was not fun. The drinks started flowing as soon as it felt safe, and the music started bumping. The ride, though, could have been more bumpy and super pleasant. The views, the breeze, and more were fantastic. Approximately 20-30 people were on the boat, and even with that, it felt like there was enough room for all. This is your go-to activity for a nice hour or so on the water with good drinks and great views. :) read more

Awesome trip! Great afternoon activity. The crew were all a class act, friendly, sharp, and helpful. We saw 5-6 turtles, and a couple of hump back whales breaching! A lady got sick at one point and one of the crew was immediately in action to help her. Killer mai tais were served after the snorkel swim. Highly recommend and would do it again! read more

Did afternoon whale watching cruise. Did not disappoint as saw mother whale and calf breaching several times. Crew is friendly and attentive. Holokai is the only Catamaran my family will use. read more

A very dismal experience. We were advised on checking in for the trip to be equipped with rainproof ponchos. We were. It didn't help. The seats were swamped with water. The boom for the sail was full of water which sprayed down in unpredictable ways due to the sail conditions. The staff were great. The experience was not. My advice is to book on the day. It would be better to miss out than go in those conditions. The company should have offered another day or refund. It made us think we were of no consequence to the company. Just another dollar. read more

It was a fun crew and enjoyable time with good refreshments. I would recommend to all. read more

We took the Friday night adult sunset tour and really enjoyed it. We picked Holokai because it loaded up on the beach very near to our hotel (Hale Koa) but it would have been a great ride even if it wasn't as convenient to get on. The instructions are to get there a little early to sign in but no need to get there real early like we did. They also suggested that you bring a light jacket or sweater. My wife and I did but my brother and wife did not. Neither did most of the guests. We wound up using ours and some of the women in light garments wished they had. Not freezing cold but it made it more comfortable with a cover. The crew was great and attentive. They ensured that everyone had as good a time as possible. There was beer, wine and soda as well as their own concoction. Getting on and off was easy with only a few steps in the surf. The boat was full but not overcrowded. Overall, a good time and worth the price for a 90-minute ride. The views of Diamond Head and Waikiki were nice. We would do it again if we came with people who hadn't done it before. read more
