the drink selection was minimal and there was only one cocktail that tasted like diluted juice. it was very difficult to get onto the actual boat you have to walk on the sand and they don’t assist anyone that is having trouble doing so. they should have a hard surface to help people get across the sand especially considering a lot of the people on the cruise are elderly folks. the cruise was not that interactive the bartender chimed in every now and then but it was mostly a whole lot of nothing. overall if you are okay with wasting your money and an hour of your life doing absolutely nothing, this is the cruise for you.

Ava and the guys were great. Always walking around making sure we were having a good time and made sure we had a fresh drink.
Fun 90 minutes on a catamaran ride away from the beach to watch the fireworks go off. The crew was fun and entertaining. The drinks were not bad either. A nice election a beer wines and Hawaiian drinks fireworks lasted only five minutes but a fun thing to do to see from the actual ocean. My wife was happy that she got to wear her specialized sweatshirt just for the occasion 😊
It is a phenomenal experience to enjoy seeing Waikiki Beach from a catamaran! It was particularly memorable to also enjoy fireworks on a Friday evening and a full moon over Diamond Head! My husband and I enjoyed the whole trip!
This was great! It was very relaxed atmosphere. The catamaran was small but had plenty of room for everyone on board without feeling too packed. It was easy to move around and everyone had great views of the fireworks. The drinks were plentiful and yummy. The crew and staff were great - very friendly and helpful. The tip jar was present and mentioned (they deserve tips) but there was no pressure to tip which I appreciate. An overall fun simple enjoyable experience!
We had an AMAZING time on the Catamaran. It was a Girls Trip We laughed danced and made new memories!!! Memphis Crew
Crew was solid both funny . Drinks were cold and plentiful. A great adventure Hard to find as it was hidden in the hotel
Staff were great, beverages were very good. The fireworks awesome. I would def do again !!!
Wonderful fireworks cruise. The staff and crew were fun while at all times stressing passenger safety. Next time we are in O'ahu we will definitely sail with them again.
It was pretty and a good experience. I only wish they can mix up the music , a mix of everything for the younger crowd to make it more fun . The music they played was more for the older crowd and I was falling asleep for it to be such a short duration
Went on the Friday Fireworks Sail. Capt. Mitchell and Bartender Alec were great! Super funny and relaxed. First time for us being out on the sea at night. What an awesome time to sail. All of the lights of Waikiki and the other boats and then a very special vantage point to view the fireworks at HHV (and completely avoid the crowds) . I would highly recommend this for your Friday night! Mahalo Holokai!
Very nice outing, captain and crew were great! Nice relaxing trip out, good selection of drinks, and some great photo op's!
Beautiful view of the skyline and a fun fireworks show. Plenty of room on the catamaran to sit or stand to get your perfect view.
We thoroughly enjoyed the sail. Great way to view the fireworks. Staff was on point with music and drinks. Lots of fun for all adult family.
We had an amazing and fun evening! The captain and bartender were great and the views from the boat were amazing!
Magical night on the water. Relaxed and welcoming. Perfect view of the fireworks. Drinks included in price. Highly recommend.
Perfect way to cap off the week. Great to be out on the water, amazing view of the fireworks, crew exceptionally friendly, and very reasonably priced! Would do it again in a flash!
It was a great cruise, friendly and helpful crew. Recommend their ‘signature’ cocktail. Next time I would like to try another cruise they provide, sunset would be awesome.
We had a great fireworks cruise in the evening. Great crew. Great way to view the Friday evening fireworks.
Was a very fun crew with fun sense of humor. Great position for fireworks and open bar. A little expensive for one hour.
Great view of the fireworks, cat was great for viewing, the crew were great, the skipper put us in a good location for viewing the fireworks as there were a number of boats out. Great trip well worth doing!
Overall ok. Take something to clean feet after you return to land. Bare foot boat but you must carry your own shoes up and down steps for beach entry
My family and I enjoyed a sailboat trip to see the fireworks. Our boat navigator was friendly and played great music. We had a perfect view of the fireworks and had the chance to interact with other people on the boat. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I was on the GTH Group livestream Friday evening watching the Sunset and Fireworks Show. The sunset was gorgeous! we had a spectacular view. The fireworks show over the ocean was extremely beautiful. All of the staff were polite & very informative.They had a open bar for the entire event. I'm looking forward to sailing on the Holokai Catamaran very soon. I highly recommend sailing on the Holokai Catamaran when you're visiting Hawaii. Mahalo Sandy Dominguez
I just watched the Friday Fireworks cruise Tony from Going to Hawaii was on and it looks fantastic. We have just booked a sunset cruise after seeing this. Jaleen at the counter in the Outrigger Reef helped us a out with all our questions. Anyway thanks Going To Hawaii group and Holokai Catamarans I will post a further review after we do our sail.
We were on the evening sunset sale with GTH with thoroughly enjoyed. The evening was so beautiful and peaceful. We can’t wait to be on it again in October when we’re coming for our wedding anniversary.
I went sailing on the Holokai for the sunset and the fireworks with my friends from GTH. It was an awesome sail. Captain Mitchell had to really navigate to get the people on but managed it easily. The open bar was excellent but the best part was the fireworks. They were amazing. Coming back was beautiful looking at the skyline of Waikiki at night. I would definitely go again.
I watched a live stream by Going to Hawaii of the Friday night Fireworks sail and it was amazing! Nighttime views from the water were spectacular. I will be back in a few weeks to take this very sail. Captain Mitchell was very skilled with his docking. Thank you GTH and Holokai Catamaran!
What an amazing cruise I was blessed to experience through the GTH group! The fireworks for spectacular and the spot where we were was fantastic. Mahalo Tony and Holokai 🙏🥰🤙🏻🎆🎇
A magical sail, suggested by Going To Hawaii, did not disappoint. Book this catamaran to make lasting memories of the sunset and fireworks.
Watched the live stream with Tony from Going to Hawaii of the beautiful fireworks sail. Definitely will be booking this adventure on my next visit. Captain Mitchell was amazing. Great attitude & personable
I saw a live stream for the sunset fireworks cruise on Friday night, thanks to #GTH #GoingToHawaii, @GTH, @GoingToHawaii, and this looks like a fun time!
Saw the GTH livestream on the Sunset Cruise with Fireworks. It was a spectacular cruise with great music, great vibes and beautiful views of the Waikiki Skyline. Will definitely be scheduling this experience on my next trip in 2025. Thank you Tony for the amazing video.
What could be better than a fireworks sail!? Did this sailing with GTH live stream. Only thing better is to do it in person! The fireworks were unbelievable and the Waikiki coast at night is beautiful! If you are looking for a fireworks sail, this is the one to book!
Absolutely AWESOME virtual sail with GTH! Not only are the fireworks fantastic but the views of the shoreline at night are spectacular! Great photo ops! Looking forward to sailing Holokai! You won’t be disappointed on this sailing!
Watching the GTH Livestream of the Friday Night With Fireworks Sail was a wonderful experience. The water was so calm and relaxing, the fireworks were gorgeous and the music was chill. Seeing the Waikiki skyline all lit up was a bonus. We will be booking a sail when we visit Hawaii at the end of the month.
I was undecided whether to do the catamaran cruises, but watching GTH live streams certainly helped me make up my mind. Definately doing the Friday night fireworks cruise and an afternoon sail as well when we are there in October 2024. Looking forward to it and can’t wait to sample their onboard specialty cocktail and enjoy the view!
I am watching the live stream taken by the lovely Tony from Going to Hawaii, looks amazing keen to book in when we are there in two weeks.
Captain is super hot! Wish I was braver to shoot my shot lol. If he's single I call dibs. Great experience. Free drinks, beautiful view. Highly recommend.
Nice evening boat ride with great firework display. Lots of people on board…but boat handled it well. Open bar nice touch. Very friendly crew. Nice time.
Great staff that went over and beyond our expectations. They were kind, considerate, and helpful throughout the process from making reservations to ensuring the boat trip was safe and enjoyable. The fireworks were spectacular. Thanks to the staff for all the fun!!!
My adult nephews and I were pleased with the land staff and catamaran crew, Mitchell and Brody. Great fireworks view, video plus many pictures. Great to see Waikiki from the ocean perspective. Excellent price for what is included on the cruise.
The experience was super awesome! The crew was lively and the music was great! The view of the fireworks was wonderful. Everything about it was great! The drinks were delicious.
The boarding process was super easy, the crew were very easy going! A good number of passengers so everyone had plenty of space to view the fireworks.
Fantastic way to end a trip to the islands. Short cruise out from the beach to watch the Waikiki fireworks show.
Had the best view for the fireworks. Oh can’t forget about the bartender he was amazing as well. I would highly recommend doing this and experience the firework show. Thank you for an amazing adventure and I would definitely go back and see y’all again.
Fantastic first evening for us in Honolulu attending the Friday Night Firework catamaran with open bar! Fun experience, lovely crew, highly recommended.
Great fun! Beautiful being out on the water at night with the fireworks, and the crew was great! I would recommend this to everyone.
Great time. 👍 Highly recommend. Ticket staff was very nice? Captain and mate very accommodating.. Book it and you won't be disappointed. Aloha.
This was an absolutely awesome experience! The ONLY downside I would say is that it wasn't long enough, I had so much fun I didn't want it to end! I could have stayed out on the water all night. The captain and our bartender were friendly and welcoming. They put everyone at ease and made sure we were all taken care of. The drinks were delicious. The fireworks were awesome. And the view was stunning. All around, we LOVED it and would highly recommend booking with Holokai Catamaran. When we come back for our next trip, we are planning to book with them for the daytime cruises.
