Deluxe Na Pali Experience Snorkel Tour, Breakfast & Lunch - Holo Holo Charters

MUST DO in Kauai!!

Reviewed by: Erika

We highly recommend this boat tour! First off, the crew was incredibly knowledgable about sailing, snorkeling, Hawaiian culture and history and they were beyond attentive to all of our needs on board. Our captain, Kelly, and her three crew members, Shakead, Max and Jay were a lot of fun throughout the day too. We had the opportunity to do some snorkeling, seeing sea turtles, spotted rays and an array of tropical fish - not to mention the school of dolphins that were close enough to touch! As we made our way to the NaPali coast, it was raining (something completely out of the control of our crew), but they still made the most of it. We saw the gorgeous coastline, while Kelly expertly navigated the seas. On our way back, the crew put up the sails and turned down the engines - it made for quite a relaxing way to travel back. Just before reaching port, we followed a few whales and did some whale watching. The crew was patient with everyone on board and made sure that if we wanted to stop to see the whales, we did! We appreciated their accommodating approach to our tour and it definitely was one of the highlights of our vacation at Kauai. Again, we highly recommend this activity!!

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

What a wonderful trip from beginning to end!

Reviewed by: Paul K.

What a wonderful trip from beginning to end! This was an amazing excursion. It started off early in the morning but I was delighted to see a captain full of energy and passion for his career. Even though the winds caused concern for our safety up the Na Pali coast, he made sure to kick start the trip with high spirits as we sailed off the dock at sunrise. The water was very calm and we got the chance to meet the crew over breakfast and coffee before our first sighting of dolphins! For the entire trip – even when the waters got rough – the crew was always interested in talking to us and telling us stories about the island. You could tell that they really enjoyed connecting with everyone which made our experience that much better. Who wants to be on a boat where the crew only care about getting the job done? – No one! Thus, this was a refreshing surprise. After going up the Na Pali coast we made our way to Nihau and snorkeled off the boat. The lunch served included sandwiches, veggies with dip, pickles and pasta salad. Of course, who can forget the wine and beer served on our way back to port? Overall, this was a wonderful trip with great company and we will definitely recommend to our friends and family. The next time we travel to Kauai we plan on cruising with Holoholo at sunset. Thank you Holoholo!!

Not to be missed experience in Kauai!

Reviewed by: Sherryl O'Connor

Today my husband and I went on the Holo Hola Napali Snorkel Sail tour. The tour exceeded our expectations in every way. The marina was easy to find and the check in process was pleasant and quick.. The boat was a beautiful 45 foot Catamaran; modern, spotless, white, with 2 big high efficiency motors for my comfort in open ocean! Our crew, Shaked and Max, and our Captain Kelly, were all so skilled, helpful, interesting, professional, and fun! We went snorkeling in a great spot and the water was warm! The trip down the coast was magnificent; scenery spectacular! We saw dolphins, turtles, lots of fish, and whales! We got to put the sails up for awhile and had two nice meals; good quality food, very nice people, and lots of room to move around on the boat. This trip was definitely a major highlight of our vacation on Kauai and this tour company is absolutely excellent! not to be missed!

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

awesome cruise

Reviewed by: Patrick

Booked the activities through this website for NaPali and Nihau plus snorkeling.

Checked in the place at 6, and captain met us around 630. However, due to the weather condition, Nhau is not gonna be possible. 3 alternatives were given. We could either take the trip with a 25% discount, reschedule for another day or get a full refund on spot. Given we will only be on the island for one more day, we took the first option. And it didn't disappoint at all.

The ride to NaPali was a little rough, or "exciting" in the sailing world. Some people got sea sick and the threw up, but the crew members were very patient and friendly, didn't complain at all. We also saw a bunch of dolphins and a glimpse of whale during the ride. Captain stopped the boat for everyone to see in each situation.

On the way back, the weather got much nicer. We made a stop near Port Allen where we started for snorkeling. This was about an hour long. Once that's done, food was already waiting for us on the boat.

After lunch, we headed back and 25% refund was ready for us to pick up.

Overall, it was an awesome ride and honestly I couldn't ask for more. They offer both breakfast and lunch to accommodate its early schedule. They offer a large variety of drinks including beer, and all of them are free. The captain gives detailed background stories for every valley and beach we pass.

Just make sure to bring your towel and a camera, and you will be golden.

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Our wonderful trip to the Na Pali Coast

Reviewed by: Bernadette & Patrick

We had the best trip you can get to the Napali Coast! The weather did it's best to blow away the clouds, but also made the sea rough so we got lots of fun in the waves and went wet in the front of the boat. After half an hour we were completely soaked and decided to go to the back were it is almost dry. There you also have a god view but it is rather bumpy than on the front of the boat. We had a nice and sunny view along the coastline of Kauai. Compared to our trips by helicopter and car the boat trip is the most relaxing way to see the coast and for us the most impressive. The height of the cliffs of Na Pali Coast is best seen from the bottom. From up in the air you'll get a great overview but you wouldn't see the whole scenery. The buffet on board was well organized and we had some delicious snacks on our tour. The crew took very good care of us all along the trip and offered very often to take pictures of us in the beautiful scenery. Nearby the harbor we made an additional stop to watch out for wales and turtles which are often seen on that place. Unfortunately we didn't find any turtle or wale but a lot of flying fish. The beautiful sunset with a glass of champagne was the right ending of a beautiful day on sea. MAHALO to Capt. Kelly and the crew Aaron, Jake and Max!

I have also done dolphin swimming in Mikurajima, but the sea was deep and the waves were rough, so I couldn't really see the dolphins. The color of the sea in Hawaii Island is very beautiful with the light shining through, and you can float easily. I was moved to see the dolphins up close and hear their voices. Luckily, there were also three mantas! I was able to swim leisurely with them.

6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

I felt a respect for the dolphins in Hawaii. ハワイのイルカへのリスペクトが感じられた

Reviewed by: マヒマヒ

It was my first time snorkeling, but I was able to meet a pod of spinner dolphins and swim with them. There was an explanation on the boat about the dolphins' behavior, such as how they are nocturnal and return to the bay to sleep during the day after feeding offshore, which is why it's necessary to depart early in the morning. It was also noted that depending on the dolphins' personalities and moods, some may approach while others may not.

I enjoyed snorkeling at Kealakekua Bay, but since it is a spot where dolphins come to rest and the time was late (which is midnight for the dolphins), it was clear that we should ideally keep our distance and observe from afar, unlike at the dolphin swim points. I would definitely like to participate again next time, and I hope that this wonderful environment is preserved so that the dolphins will come back.

シュノーケリングは初めてでしたが、スピナーズドルフィンの群れと会え、一緒に泳げました。
イルカは夜行性で、沖で餌を食べたあと昼に眠るために湾まで戻ってくること、そのため朝早くから出港する必要があること、イルカの個性や気分次第で近づいてくるものやそうでないものがいるなど、イルカの生態やドルフィンスイムの注意点について船内で説明がありました。
ケアラケクア湾ではシュノーケリングを楽しみましたが、イルカが休みに来るスポットであることや時間帯も遅い（イルカにとっては深夜）なことから、ドルフィンスイムのポイントと違ってできれば近づかないで遠くから見てあげてとイルカのことを考えていることがよくわかりました。
次回もぜひ参加したいので、その時もイルカが来るようにこの素晴らしい環境を守ってほしいです。

Reviewed by: misu

I reported that I couldn't swim, but they told me it would be fine since I was wearing a wetsuit, so I went into the sea. I was scared, but I managed without any floatation devices.

"Over here! More towards the shallow area! Out to the open water!" I desperately followed the instructions of the swim guide, Daisuke. He even helped pull me along at times. I was able to swim a little with the dolphins and even hear their sounds.

There were some people who looked like they were suffering from seasickness, so I think it would be wise to take motion sickness medication just to be safe.

「泳げません～」と申告しましたが、ウェットスーツ着てるんだから大丈夫大丈夫、と云われ、そのまま海へ。怖かったけど、確かに浮き具なしでもなんとかなりました。
「こっちこっち」「もっと浅瀬へ」「沖の方へ」、スイムガイドのDaisukeさんの指示に必死に従って泳ぎます。Daisukeさんに引っ張ってもらえたりもしました。ちょっとだけイルカと一緒に泳げて、声も聞くことができました。
船酔いしている方もいらして辛そうだったので、酔い止めは飲んでおいた方が安心かなと思います。

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Amazing views and wonderful crew

Reviewed by: Tony & Bianca

I spent a consideral amount of time researching some of the different options for sight seeing tours of the Napali Coast and found this to have the best reviews and all of them were 100% accurate. My girlfriend and I had been very active on our trip to Kauai up to this point and looked to this as a relaxing evening which it was. The Caiptain (his name escapes me) was very funny throughout the trip making sure to update us when we were near items of interest and was also a very skilled navigator, at one point situating the stern of the boat under a waterfall for people who wanted to go under it.

The two deck hands (I am not sure the proper title) were very attentive to all of the guests aboard throughout the entire trip. I forget the gentelmens name that I spoke with but he stood with me for some time explaining to me much of the history of the Napali Coast as well as what it has been like growing up on the Island which made my experience even better. The crew does whatever it takes to make sure you have the best experience possible and my tip to you is to tip them accordingly, they do a great job and deserve it!

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in having an informative relaxing experience. Also, the food was very good and the crew made sure that you always had a drink in your hand.

The captain chose a spot with high visibility and let us swim with the dolphins. When the dolphins swam close, the guide raised his arm to signal us. They took plenty of time and made an effort to find the dolphins, so I'm glad I chose this tour. After reading this experience, I mistakenly thought Daisuke would be the guide, so it was a bit disappointing that he was on a different boat.

On September 9th, we participated as a couple. We were lucky to encounter dolphins swimming in the shallow waters quite quickly, allowing us to get close multiple times without using much energy! We then moved to another location and encountered dolphins while they were on the move. We were told that we might not see them as often since they were moving, but it seemed they weren't moving as fast as we thought. We were able to keep up with them, and before we knew it, there were dolphins in front, below, and beside us! It was an emotional experience! I envied Daisuke for being able to dive and get even closer to play with them. This was our third dolphin tour, including other tour companies, and this one had the most content. Thank you very much. But I wonder if there are times when you really can't see them much. It was almost hard to believe.

９／９、夫婦で参加しました。
割とすぐ、浅瀬でぐるぐると泳ぐイルカたちと遭遇できたため、体力をあまり使わずなんども大接近！ラッキーでした！
場所を移し、今度は移動中のイルカと遭遇。移動中なのでさっきみたいに何度も見ることはできないかもと言われて海へ。でも、思ったほど早くは移動してなかったみたいで、一緒についていっても引き離されることなく、気づいたら前にも下にも隣にもイルカたちが！感動しました！
DAISUKEさんみたいに潜れたら、もっともっと近づいて一緒に遊んだりできるのかなあとうらやましく思いました。

I participated on August 6th. Last year, I joined a tour with another company, but unfortunately, I couldn't encounter any dolphins, so this year was a chance for revenge! After reading everyone's reviews, I decided on Aloha Kona Tours. I was worried about whether we could safely go on the tour since a hurricane was approaching, but it turned out to be calm, and the weather was nice, which put me at ease.

Above all, the swim guide Daisuke and Captain Nawata were wonderful people. My daughter, who was scared of snorkeling in deep water, was able to truly enjoy herself thanks to both of them. Following Daisuke and Nawata's instructions, we encountered over 100 dolphins up close! Every time we entered the water, we were able to meet them, and it was incredibly exciting. The blue of the ocean and the cuteness of the dolphins are unforgettable even after returning to Japan! Thank you so much.

We are talking as a family about wanting to join Aloha Kona Tours again next year to meet the dolphins!

8/6に参加しました。昨年他社のツアーに参加しましたが運悪くイルカに出逢う事が出来ず今年こそ！とリベンジでした。皆さんの口コミを見てアロハコナツアーズさんに決めました。ハリケーンが近付いていたので無事にツアーに行けるか心配でしたが、嵐の前の静けさだったのか波も穏やかでお天気も良かったので安心しました。何よりもスイムガイドのダイスケさんとキャプテンの縄田さんのお人柄がとても良くて、足のつかない所でのシュノーケルを怖がっていた娘もお二人のおかげで心より楽しむ事が出来、念願だったイルカちゃん達にもダイスケさん縄田さんの指示通りにするだけで物凄い近さで100頭以上はいたでしょうか？海に入る度に出逢う事が出来て大感激でした。海の蒼さとイルカ達の可愛さが日本に帰国しても忘れられません！本当にありがとうございました。

On August 9th, my family of three, including my 9-year-old son, participated in the dolphin tour, which was the main highlight of our trip. We were worried that the sea might be difficult due to the hurricane's impact, but we were able to participate safely by shifting our schedule by one day.

Our guide, Daisuke, was easy to talk to from the very first impression, and the ride to the location felt like no time at all! Each of his words was heartfelt, making for a truly enriching experience.

It was a miracle that we were able to set sail that day, and on top of that, we encountered a pod of nearly 150-200 dolphins. I was genuinely moved when I saw the lively wild dolphins up close, including their cheerful calls, parents with babies, and playful youngsters. The view of the deep blue sea and the mountains of the Big Island of Hawaii was also incredibly beautiful.

That same night, my son and I participated in the manta ray tour. He eagerly shared how great it was.

I’m really glad we were able to join this tour after various coincidences! I definitely want to come back to the Big Island and this dolphin tour again. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Thank you, Captain Taka and Daisuke, for the wonderful time with the dolphins.

My elderly mother was at the sea for the first time in about 30 years, and everyone, including her, was understandably anxious. Thanks to Daisuke's support, everyone was able to focus on the dolphins with peace of mind. I was especially happy that my mother, who was looking forward to this the most, was the first to meet the dolphins, even before my sister.
I appreciate being able to dive in a safe area without any bull sharks, and I thank Taka for taking the boat out for one last chance.

Even if you're not confident in your swimming skills, it's perfectly fine to join alone. The staff's attentiveness and care make you feel at ease. I believe I had an experience that was not just like the photos in the guidebook, but even better.

I swam alongside a pod of dolphins, followed the silhouette of a dolphin gracefully arching underwater, and spotted a baby dolphin clinging to its mother. The highlight was when the guide led us to a spot where a dolphin swam towards us, gliding right in front of us. For a moment, the dolphin looked at us, and we were all so excited! We confirmed with each other, "Did we just make eye contact?" At first, I hesitated to join alone because my family is prone to seasickness, but I'm really glad I participated.

泳ぎに自信がなくても、一人参加でも大丈夫。スタッフさんの目配り&気配りがあるので安心です。とにかくガイドブックの写真のような、というよりそれ以上の体験ができたと思います。
イルカの群れと並んで泳いだり、水中深く弧をえがくいるかのシルエットを追ったり、お母さんイルカのお腹にくっついて泳ぐ赤ちゃんイルカを見つけたり。中でもガイドさんが引っ張って誘導してくれた先に一匹のイルカがこちらに向かって泳いできて、目と鼻の先をスーッと横切って行った時、一瞬イルカちゃんがキョロっと私たちを見てくれたのには大興奮！「いま、目があったよね？」とお互い気のせいじゃない事を確認したのでした。最初、家族が船酔い体質のため一人で参加するか迷ったけど参加して本当によかったです。

The tour was the highlight of our 3-night stay on the Big Island of Hawaii!

Seeing the beautiful sky, ocean, and mountains from the boat offered a different perspective than from land, and it was so soothing. To top it off, we got to swim with dolphins...

It truly felt like a dream!

Both my husband and I were not confident swimmers, and it was our first time swimming in deep water, which made us a bit fearful. However, by the end of the tour, we enjoyed it so much that we wished we could keep swimming. If we have the chance to visit the Big Island again, we definitely want to participate again!

こんなにイルカを近くで見ることができて満足でした。
案内をしてくれたダイスケさんが本当にイルカを大事にいているのと話すことができるというのがわかりました。
イルカが水面ぎりぎりまで上がってきてくれたりして貴重な体験ができました。

興奮しすぎて写真を全然とれませんでしたが、記憶に焼き付けておきます。
またハワイ訪れた際はぜひまたイルカに会いに行きたいです。

Thank you, Daisuke-san, our guide!
I heard that the dolphins were in a good mood on the day of our participation, and there were many dolphins that gathered at Daisuke-san's call! Just as Daisuke-san said, we were able to encounter them up close by simply waiting in their path instead of chasing them. Hearing their calls was incredibly soothing. It was moving.

The views of the Big Island and the ocean from the boat were also wonderful, making it a memorable tour.
When I come back to Hawaii, I would like to participate in the night manta tour.
Of course, I want to join the dolphin tour again too!

I truly appreciate both Daisuke-san and the captain.

ガ イドのダイスケさん、ありがとうございました！
参加日はイルカ達のご機嫌が良かったとのことですが、ダイスケさんの呼び掛けに集まってきたイルカ達が沢山！ダイスケさんの言う通り、イルカを追いかけずに、イルカ達の通り道で待ってるだけで近距離で出会うことが出来ました。鳴き声も聞けてとっても癒されました。感動です。

ボートから見るハワイ島や海の景色も素晴らしく、思い出に残るツアーでした。
また、ハワイに来たときは夜のマンタツアーに参加したいと思います。
もちろん、イルカツアーにも！

本当にダイスケさんもキャプテンにも感謝です。

It was our first time on the Big Island for our honeymoon, and while researching about swimming with dolphins, I came across this tour. After reading other people's reviews, I decided to participate, and I was really impressed by how considerate they were towards my husband, who was worried about seasickness. It made me feel very reassured. Above all, our guide Daisuke's passion for the dolphins was truly strong! His feelings were contagious, and thanks to him, I understood the meaning of "quality over quantity." We were able to see the dolphins up close, and both my husband and I were extremely satisfied. The captain was friendly and fun, and it was great how he frequently checked in with us. If we ever go back to Hawaii, we would definitely like to do this again.

新婚旅行で初めてのハワイ島だったのですが、イルカと泳げると聞いて調べていたところこのツアーに出会いました。他の方の口コミを見て参加を決めましたが、船酔いが心配だった彼をすごく気遣ってくださり、とても安心できました。何より、ガイドのダイスケさんのイルカへの気持ちがほんとうに強い！その気持ちがこっちにも伝わって、「数よりも距離」の意味がダイスケさんのおかげでわかりました。あんなに近くでイルカを見ることができ、夫婦ともに大満足です。キャプテンも気さくで楽しく、声をよくかけてくれたのがよかったです。またハワイに行くことがあれば、ぜひお願いしたいです。

3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

An exhilerating and amazing highlight for anyone. Do it!,

Reviewed by: Barbara Dyer

My husband and I had a super sensational time. We loved the water splashing on us and seeing the spectacular coastline was so amazing. My husband loved going under the waterfall and getting drenched so much fun and going in close to look inside a cave. Crew were exceptional as safety was their main goal and the food was delicious. Highly recommend it to anyone.

6名限定！ハワイ島　野生のイルカウォッチング+ケアラケクア湾シュノーケリングツアー＜午前／英語ガイド／軽食付＞

"I can't believe there are so many wild dolphins!!" 「野生のイルカがあんなに多いとは！！」

Reviewed by: Satoru Minegishi

I participated in this tour. Since it was just us this time, I felt a bit bad, but the guide was very accommodating. The meeting point was very easy to find, and we quickly joined up and boarded the boat. I was a bit surprised to learn that the spot was just off the coast, but once we got there, I saw a small group of dolphins jumping around the boat. There were quite a few of them. We quickly got ready and jumped into the water. Dolphins swam by at an incredible speed! After that, we waited in the water. Following the guide's instructions, we moved a little. I kept my eyes peeled... but the dolphins didn't appear for a while. Reluctantly, we got back on the boat. Then, we saw another large group of dolphins jumping around! After observing them for a bit, we went back into the water. However, even with my eyes straining, I couldn't see any dolphins swimming. While it was easy to see the dolphins from the boat, I realized that swimming with them was quite challenging. But it was fun to have so many dolphins welcoming us. After that, we went snorkeling in the bay right in front of Captain Cook's monument, had a light snack time, and then they took us to the coastal caves, making for a very full experience!

本ツアーに参加しました。今回は我々だけだったので少し悪い気がしましたが、ガイドさんも快く案内して頂きました。待ち合わせ場所は非常に簡単ですぐに合流出来、早速乗船。沖に出てすぐの所がスポットだというので拍子抜けしましたが、見ると船の周りで少し小柄なイルカちゃん達がピョンピョン飛んでます。かなりの大群です。すぐに準備して海の中に飛び込みます。視界を凄い速さでイルカが泳いで行きました！　その後、海の中で待ちます。ガイドさんの指示に従い少し移動します。ずーっと目を凝らします。・・・・なかなかイルカは現れません・・。やむなくまた船に上がります。するとまたイルカの大群がピョンピョン跳ねてます！　少し様子を見てからまた海の中に。しかし、目を凝らしてもイルカは泳いでいません。イルカを船の上から見るのは簡単でも「一緒に泳ぐ」となると、かなり難易度が高い事が良く分かりました。でも沢山のイルカが迎えてくれたみたいで楽しかったです。その後はキャプテンクックの記念碑がある目の前の湾でシュノーケリングをして、軽いおやつタイムもさせてくれて、その後岸壁の洞窟にも連れて行ってくれてかなり盛り沢山でした！

Our group shared a solemn gathering to bid a final farewell to a great man. The charter crew provided us the perfect attitude for the occasion. They were very professional and provided us with the utmost respect.
Lastly, the widow of the deceased is a Japanese woman that traveled all the way from Japan for the occasion. She has expressed her deepest gratitude for the service provided. I'm absolutely certain she will be forever grateful.
Thank you to Jake and Travis for their outstanding services.
