“Na Pali & Ni'ihau”

Reviewed May 15, 2013 NEW

This was our first time on Holo Holo Charters. We chose them because we wanted to get a better look at the "Forbidden" Island. If you are looking specifically for a Na Pali coast tour, then this is not for you. It was fairly short due to the fact that it is a long run to Ni'Ihau. Since we have... More

“Very Good review bordering on Average. Adventure ride through the Napali Coast. Beware of bad weather though!!!”

Reviewed May 15, 2013 NEW

We were a family of 3 with a 10 year old girl and went on the 7 hour long Napali Coast and Niihau Island trip. What a ride!!! The day that we went the weather was a bit on the rough side with a pretty high swell and wind, so the approximately 2 hour ride to Napali Coast was bumby,... More

“Awesome Na Pali Coast”

Reviewed May 7, 2013

The winds and waters were a little rough on our visit to Kauai, but we really loved our dinner cruise with Holo Holo. We saw whales, dolphins, and the beautiful Na Pali coast. I will recommend...if you get the slightest bit sea sick you might want to rethink this. My husband was fine, but I was feeling a little ill... More

“great sunset scenic tour”

Reviewed May 6, 2013

Just got back from our cruise. the water was a little rough, but felt safe with our captain and his crew. The Na Pali Coast is just beautiful. If there is any negative it would be the food. Where it was good, I was hoping for more. Would recommend this tour to anyone. It is a must when you come... More

“Holo Holo Sunset Cruise”

Reviewed May 4, 2013

Just got back from Kauai and had a great time on Holo Holo Sunset cruise up the Na Pali Coast. Loved the smaller boat and personal attention. Glen, Jake, and Matt made this one of the best cruises I have taken in the Hawaiian Islands. Saw lots of whales, turtles, dolphins and the beautiful coast. This is a must do... More

“Good but not great”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

I would like to give this 3 and 1/2 stars, but I rounded up to give Holo Holo the benefit. I think this tour was good thanks to the beauty of the Na Pali coastline and the crew's ability to sight dolphins and whales. So why are they good and not great? The snorkel stop was not worthwhile at all.... More

“Forbidden Island Tour”

Reviewed May 2, 2013

Excellent crew. Matt and Josh were both extremely hard working and friendly. They do everything from scouting out the water, helping those without sea legs, serving and life guarding. I felt very safe with them on board, and I am terrified of the ocean. Food was good, had a lot to choose from. If I had it to do again,... More

Dear Guest, Thank you for joining us on our 7hr Niihau Napali Super Tour. We are very happy to hear that the crew took good care of you and you had a pleasant day on the water. Typically the snorkeling at Niihau is some of the best snorkeling you can find in all of Hawaii, so it is unfortunate that... More

“They saved our day!”

Reviewed April 30, 2013

Holo Holo Charters was not our first choice - actually we weren't even familiar with them. We headed out to meet up with our charter from another company that had been recommended by our hotel, The St Regis in Princeville, only to find that our paid for trip was overbooked! A very nice gentleman, Dale from Holo Holo Charters, overheard... More

“Niihu and Napali Tour”

Reviewed April 28, 2013 via mobile

The crew were very pleasant and helpful during the tour. The sea can be a little rough at times during the trip for those not used to being out in the open ocean. The snorkel location was great with plenty of fish and cobalt blue water. During our tour we saw see sea turtles, dolphins, manta rays and whales! The... More

Dear Guest, Thanks for sharing your beautiful day on the water! Sounds like you had excellent conditions and glad to hear the crew showed you the true aloha spirit. We do recommend motion sickness preventatives for those that may need them, as some people may not be used to boating in the open ocean. Thanks for joining us! Mahalo and... More

“Niihau Catamaran Cruise - exciting, beautiful adventure!”

Reviewed April 25, 2013

Wow, we had an awesome trip up & back down the Napali Coast, and then on to the waters near Niihau. We had the opportunity to take many photos of the Napali Coastline & also some of Niihau & the bird sanctuary near Niihau. We enjoyed the snorkling here, but I was glad to have rented a wet suit top... More
