After morning pickup at your Waikiki hotel, meet your guide at Heeia State Parks beach where your catamaran awaits. Your guide provides a safety briefing and introduction to the boat, plus snorkeling gear and lifejackets. Once youre ready, hop on board the Hobie Getaway catamaran, a zippy sailboat equipped with trampoline decks and coolers. Be prepared to get wet from the spray as you sail; its all part of the fun. As your guide sets off on Kaneohe Bay, you can kick back and relax or, if youre interested in learning to sail, your guide can give provide instruction and let you steer or trim the sails (as conditions permit). Depending on the groups interests and the days conditions, your guide decides on the destinations for your sail. Possibilities include Turtle Canyon, Sunken City, Coconut Island and the famous Sunken Island sandbar. Visit pristine patch reefs that offer excellent snorkeling opportunities, with a wide variety of tropical fish, sea turtles, manta rays, spotted eagle rays and other marine creatures regularly found in these waters. After several hours of sailing and snorkeling, your guide cruises back to the park where you feast on a delicious barbecue lunch at the waterfront. Snacks and drinks are also provided during the day. No experience is necessary for this tour and it's a great way to start learning about catamaran sailing. A maximum of 5 participants plus your guide can fit on the boat, making for a personalized experience with your guide. At the end of a 3-hour sailing and snorkeling experience in paradise, your tour ends with drop off at your hotel in Waikiki.

Kevin was the captain of our cruise and he was absolutely amazing. Including Kevin, there were 4 people on board for our trip. He was very knowledgeable of the area and was very skilled on the water. He dodged rain clouds as needed and he gave advice for snorkeling to maximize our experience. He was all about making it the best experience for us! He is also a skilled photographer haha. We snorkeled with sea turtles and manta rays and relaxed on a sand bar. Easily one of the best things I did on my trip to Oahu—I cannot recommend this enough!!!! Worth every penny.
Very disappointed that we were not able to go because not windy enough
THE BEST sailing experience ever!!! This is a sailing adventure not to be missed, whether you are an experienced sailor or not. Everything from pick up, sailing, BBQ, to drop off was excellent! Sailed all over Kaneohe Bay with guide Parker Johnson--experienced cat sailor, and full of interesting local info. Great way to see scores of turtles, and sea life. Zoe the driver, and all the staff are friendly, and totally customer service oriented. Can't say enough superlatives about this tour. Tom Gadzala San Diego
Best experience ever!!! Our guide, Parker, was super knowledgeable and took us to spots where we saw A LOT of turtles at least 50 of all sizes - I'm not exaggerating and even manta rays! We also got to snorkel with turtles next to the coral reef with no other tourists around, which was great I am now in love with turtles. The adventure was very personalized we got a sailing boat a tour guide for ourselves and geared towards us for example, we asked Parker to tell us about sailing since we were interested and he gave us insights throughout the trip. Even the food was awesome no sandwiches or chips, actual home-made local food : This tour completely exceeded my and my husband's expectations totally worth it! Also, they are a non-profit so it felt great contributing to their cause. The guys at Holokai Kayak and Snorkel Adventure were really great!
