Kaneohe Sandbar Private Pontoon Boat Rental & Snorkel Cruise Charter
Amazing Experience
Reviewed by: ADu
This private snorkel tour was 100% worth the money. A private pontoon boat with many amenities, including snacks, drinking water, water sport toys and others were all provided. Captain Kokua could not have been friendlier and showed us a lot to see in the area. The sandbar of course was beautiful and a huge highlight of the trip.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure
A very fun boat ride and snorkel, I will take this tour again for this price
Reviewed by: Turtle
Relatively on-time schedule, and easy to find the meeting spot.
The tour was well organized with a good size of the crews and customers for the price. The boat is steady and clean, very nice to stay for 5 hours.
The captain was very experienced and he made the boat ride so fun by how he explains things, how he operates the boat, and how he interacts with the customers. He is very respectable and friendly.
The crews are also very informative! They shared so many stories of Hawaii myth, how they grew up in Kauai, and how wonderful nature is.
I am very glad that we did a boat tour to see the Napali Coast. I hiked several trails along the coast and took a flight tour as well. All the views have different looks. I loved that I could get to do snorkel with the boat tour, I swam with so many fish and turtles.

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui
Wonderful Sunset Cocktail Sail
Reviewed by: Cindy
This is our second time choosing Sea Maui Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise. A bit concerned this year due to Covid restrictions, but Sea Maui did not fail! Easy boarding/seating, the crew was SO friendly and engaging. Immediately went around getting cocktail orders from everyone. After we set sail, we enjoyed the beautiful evening on the sea, again with crew refreshing drinks if needed. They do serve appetizers and two years ago the protocol was everyone got up and got their own - this year crew distributed pre-packaged containers with all they offered, sealed until they got to us! You were welcome to request more as well. A singer was on board who played music/sang for part of the sail.
It was a beautiful night out, never once did we feel "compromised" because of Covid and yes of course out on the sea we did not have to wear masks. I highly recommend Sea Maui Sunset Cocktail cruise - the price is right, crew is fantastic and it will make a very enjoyable relaxing evening. Well worth the money.

Deluxe Na Pali Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters
It's a cruise around paradise with a crew of well trained, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly people, what more could you ask for
Reviewed by: David Shultz
Our experience was pretty much perfect! The crew quickly found some dolphins which we stopped to watch and talk about, such amazing animals! The snorkel location was beautiful and the crew told us all about the island and various areas relative to local history, legends and the like. We then took to sailing as the weather was being friendly enough and enjoyed drinks and lunch. It's difficult to explain the joy of sailing off the coast of Kauai with a beer and a great group of people, it's worth every penny and more! We asked around the island and were told by every local that Holo Holo was the only choice for cruises around the island, they did not disappoint! We will be back to Kauai and will absolutely return to Holo Holo again
We are thrilled to have had you out on the water and couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed it! Mahalo and Aloha

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui
Excellent!
Reviewed by: Dominika
One of the best experience in Maui! Me and my boyfriend had a blast relaxing and watching a sunset. The crew was amazing and chilled. You didn’t even have to leave your place because the girls were all the time checking on you if you need anything from the bar. The drinks were strong which was surprising (in a very good way). The snack was okay and the music playing absolutely the best they could choose for that kind of cruise! I recommend 100%, when I come back to Maui, definitely gonna do that again!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch
Unbelievable Experience
Reviewed by: Catalina
This half-day snorkel adventure was one to remember! Not only did we see schools of beautiful fish at each reef, we were able to swim with sea turtles at the second location. As we were leaving, pods of spinner dolphins surrounded us which was a once in a lifetime experience. The captain and her first mate were friendly, energetic, knowledgeable, and had a fantastic sense of humor! The lunch that was provided was also outstanding! I would HIGHLY recommend this trip to anyone!!!!
We are so glad you enjoyed your Lanai Dolphin Adventure! Thank you for the positive comments on our captain and crew. They love being out on the water and sharing their knowledge and passion for Hawaii with all our guests. Mahalo and come back to see us again anytime!

Maui Adventure Lanai Snorkel & Dolphin Watch Ocean Raft Tour with Lunch
Best trip we’ve ever taken on Maui!
Reviewed by: Ann T
Captain Cary and Shannon are a mighty crew of 2! Cary is a good Texas boy who has lived on Maui for many years… But that Texas hospitality shines through! The man is packed with personality, and genuinely loves his job. He and Shannon both shared so many fun facts and interesting details during our trip. They packed lunch and breakfast for everyone which were outstanding and could not have been friendlier nicer or more accommodating the entire time start to finish! When our original destination was less than ideal he explained to the passengers why it would be in our best interest to go someplace else and he was exactly right! I’ve never encountered more knowledgeable or happy go lucky and fun loving captain. The boat is small so you will have lots of time to interact with Cary and Shannon and he will get more time in the water than on any other cruise. They know where to look for all the things you want to see… You will not be disappointed. If you only book one thing on Maui book this charter!!!
Mahalo for your wonderful positive remarks! We are so pleased you enjoyed your Lanai Dolphin Adventure! Our captain and crew love being out on the water and sharing their passion for Maui, the ocean and its creatures with you and all our guests. Come back and visit us again!

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui
Wonderful Time!
Reviewed by: Ray from St Louis
Sunset Cruise on the Sea Maui was just great. Crew was welcoming and took care of everyone. Drinks were plentiful and food was delicious. One of our group was a tad seasick, and crew tended to her and had tricks to make her feel better. Sunset was beautiful and champagne with chocolate strawberries was perfect!

We loved the whole experience of learning about Lanai, getting to see a pod of spinner dolphins, snorkeling in two locations (one that had a bunch of sea turtles), and getting great service with food and beverages throughout! Captain Kiwi and Alison were great- entertained us, taught us things, and made sure we had fun while being safe!

ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズ 運がよければイルカに会えるかも！＜夕食・飲み放題付き／英語ガイド／エレエレ地区＞
ナパリコーストサンセットディナークルーズ
Reviewed by: TAKA
新型コロナ前に行けた最後のハワイ旅行でカウアイ島のナパリコーストを見るクルーズ行ってきました。
前々日は、Veltraさんで予約したヘリコプターで上から眺めましたが、全く違う表情を見せてくれます。
前日は、車でナパリコーストへ地上から眺めました。
空や山頂からの眺めとは違い、船で下から見上げる切り立った海岸線は迫力満点。途中野生ぽいヤギが崖の上にいたり、虹が見えたり水が滴るところへ船を寄せて水浴びできたり印象的なクルーズでした。最後に美しい夕日を眺めながらの夕食を食べましたが、眺めが素晴らしく夕食の印象は残っていません。
この旅行で一番楽しめたツアーでした。
空に車に船と3回ナパリコーストへ向かい色々な視点から楽しみました。
日本人は、自分たち家族だけで、雰囲気も楽しめました。
We are thrilled to hear how much you enjoyed your time on the water with us and hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks
What an awesome day!
Reviewed by: Savannah Simco
My best friend and I was visiting Kauai for the first time. We wanted to choose a few excursions that allowed us to see most of the island and learn about the culture/history. This tour was...... AMAZING. Such a beautiful coast. The crew on the boat was more than great & very attentive to all passengers. They were all very knowledgeable about the island, and just overall made the trip fun. The provided lunch was delicious. Aside from the breath taking views of the Na Pali coast, we saw hundreds of spinner dolphins, sea turtles, seals, the forbidden island, and snorkeled. One thing I will say though, if you get motion sick, this is not the tour for you.
Thank you for choosing Holo Holo Charters! We greatly appreciate your kind review.
