Holokai Catamaran offers curated sailing experiences departing from Honolulu and Waikiki that highlight Oahu’s most memorable coastal moments.
Guests can choose from three signature trips: the Friday-night Fireworks Sail to watch Honolulu’s weekly fireworks from the water, the popular 90-minute Sunset Sail complete with wine, local beers, and the signature Holokai cocktail, and the seasonal Whale Watching Sail that runs from December through early March.
The Fireworks Sail provides an exclusive nighttime vantage point with limited availability, ideal for those seeking close-up views of the Friday evening display. The Sunset Sail is designed as a relaxed social cruise where guests unwind, take in Oahu’s colors, and enjoy light beverages. The Whale Watching Sail focuses on migratory humpback sightings and scenic passes by landmarks such as the Waikiki Natatorium War Memorial and Diamond Head Lighthouse.
Advance reservations are recommended for specialty sails because of limited capacity. Holokai Catamaran’s offerings are presented as distinct, time-specific experiences—short sunset cruises, a weekly fireworks event, and a seasonal whale-watching window—so travelers can select the trip that best fits timing and expectations. These clear options help visitors plan reliable, memorable outings on the water around Honolulu and Waikiki.
