All Reviews for Private Boat Charters

Such an awesome experience with great guides and entertainment.

Even as someone approaching their sixties, I was able to enjoy the bumper tubes and banana boat. The sea was beautiful, and I had a great experience.

還暦近くの私でも、バンパーチューブ、バナナボートは楽しめました。
海もきれいで、いい体験をさせていただきました。

It was so much fun to see wild sea turtles and fish up close! I was a bit anxious since it was my first time snorkeling, but the instructor was kind and taught me everything step by step, making it a very enjoyable memory!

野生のウミガメやお魚達を間近で見れたのがとても楽しかったです！
初めてのシュノーケルで少し不安でしたが、インストラクターの方が優しく1から丁寧に教えてくださったので、とても楽しい思い出になりました！

Unbelievable view of the island from where we were. Amazing experience to say the least.

From the moment we boarded the boat, we were provided a delicious lunch and greeted with the friendly staff and hilarious emcee.

The live Hawaiian music created an ambience of enchantment. The live performances were sensational, perfectly capturing the spirit of the islands.

The variety of water activities was truly impressive. Snorkeling provided us a stunning glimpse into the vibrant marine life, while the sandbar volleyball turned out to be an unexpected delight. I was personally taken with standup paddle boarding (SUP) and kayaking - both were exhilarating experiences that offered different perspectives of the water.

Not to forget the floating lounge platform! It was the perfect place to unwind, enjoy our drinks and snacks, and simply soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Everything was wonderfully organized and the boat was equipped with all the necessary amenities.

In short, this activity was more than just a day out on the water; it was a vibrant blend of culture, excitement, and relaxation. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable Hawaiian adventure. Five stars are simply not enough!

The crew was excellent! All were very personable, professional, looking out for everyone's safety and comfort. All very knowledgeable about the area, and seemed to love what they do which always makes for an excellent adventure. Sunset didn't disappoint either. Would love to do it again!

The sea felt great and I was excited. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any whales, but that's okay. I enjoyed it as if I were on a cruise.

海が気持ちよく行きはワクワク
残念ながらクジラは会えませんでしたが仕方ないですね。
クルージングをしたつもりで楽しみました

The staff was awesome! We had a wonderful time at the sandbar. Highly recommended! I would suggest booking the morning excursion. Worked for us wonderfully! The bad was so fun. Played all the songs requested.

I had a blast was saying goodbye to a friend and couldn't have asked for better service or a view. Everyone was nice and respectful and the games where a bonus!

We had a great time other than the water being freezing we had a blast! Absolutely amazing service and all around a great time and company. Professional and on time!

My boyfriend and I are locals and haven’t been to the sandbar in years. This tour was everything we were hoping for and more! The staff was super friendly, engaging, and really went out of their way to ensure everyone had a good time. The boat is pretty spacious so there’s plenty of shade when you need a break from the sun. Plus you can’t go wrong with live music! Not sure if any other tours offer that! We will definitely be booking again :).

Absolutely incredible views of the beautiful Na Pali coastline. Captain did a great job of keeping it as smooth sailing as possible. There were some choppier parts of the journey, but we were pre-warned as they came up. The views were totally worth it! We even got to see rainbows over the coastline. As the seas were fairly calm, we were even able to see inside the edge of a cave. The crew were friendly and helpful, the food and drinks were fantastic too. On the return journey we were treated to views of the stunning sunset over the ocean. Would definitely recommend.

Holo Holo Charters exceeded my expectations for this boat cruise. I think bedsides the Napali coast, the most impressive thing about the experience was the professionalism and attentiveness of the charter crew! They were incredible to attend to everyone’s needs and made sure everyone had a great time. This was the highlight of our trip to Kauai. The mountains and coast were absolutely incredible and worth the trip and $. The dinner was also very yummy and authentic. Only feedback: it was a bit hard to hear the captains story telling when standing on the sides of the boat… maybe more speakers or louder volume? Overall, incredible experience to see the coast and be taken care of by a great staff!

Our family of 5 had a great experience and the crew was so much fun. Captain was awesome. Just wish the sun would have peeked out. Will definitely visit again.

I went snorkeling and stand-up paddleboarding at a sandbar that I had always wanted to visit! First, I was picked up by a van from a nearby hotel for an extra fee, and it took about 30 minutes to reach the port. (There were about 15 people on board, and since I was the last to get on, that was about the time it took.)

When we arrived at the port, there were restrooms available, so I took care of that and signed some documents while receiving explanations. There were also restrooms on the boat, with two for women and one for men. There was one Japanese woman and a man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) on board.

Once on the boat, two men played guitar and ukulele to liven up the atmosphere! (When we returned to the boat during a break, they played music through the speakers, and I requested a song, which they played.)

I tried stand-up paddleboarding for the first time, but because it was windy, it felt more like I was being swept away than paddling! However, when the wind died down, I was able to move forward, and it was fun! I had to paddle hard to stay behind the red buoy, but I wasn't making much progress, and seeing that, the man who spoke Japanese (with a Kansai dialect) helped pull me along.

When we got close to the coral reef for snorkeling, the staff handed out what looked like French bread, and when I tore it apart in the water, a lot of fish came out to see it! There were also small, beautiful fish near the coral, but when I went to a spot near the boat that was about waist-high, I was able to see many large fish, almost a meter long! When I asked the staff, they said it was a white fish and that it would be delicious to eat.

Unfortunately, I didn't see any sea turtles, but I’ll look forward to that next time. I participated in early May, and when I got out of the water, it was a bit chilly. I regretted not bringing a change of clothes, just a bath towel, so it would have been nice to have something easy to put on, like a dress. The weather was good, and overall, it was a great tour!

いつか行ってみたいなと思っていたサンドバーでシュノーケリングとSUPをしてきました！
まず、別料金ですが近くのホテルまでバンで迎えに来てもらい港まで30分ぐらいで着きました！
(15人ぐらい乗っていたかな？1番最後に乗ったのでそれぐらいの時間でした)
港に着くと、トイレがあるので済ませておき、書類にサインなどして説明を受けました。
トイレは船の中にもあり、女性用2つ男性用1つありました。
日本人の女性が1人と日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁笑)が1人いました。
船に乗ると、男性2人がギターとウクレレで演奏して盛り上げてました！
(休憩で船に戻った時に、スピーカーで音楽をかけられていたので曲をリクエストしたらかけてくれました)
初めてSUPに挑戦しましたが、風が吹いていた為漕ぐよりも流されるに近いかんじでした笑
ただ、風が止むとしっかり進むので楽しかったです！
赤い浮きより先に行ってはいけなかったので、頑張って漕いでましたがなかなか進まず、それを見かねた日本語を喋れる男性(関西弁)が引っ張って助けてくれました笑
シュノーケリングは珊瑚礁の近くに行くと、スタッフの方がフランスパン？を渡してくれて、それを海の中でちぎると魚達が出てきてたくさん見る事が出来ました！
あと珊瑚礁の方には小さいキレイな魚がいましたが、船の近くの方の腰より高いぐらいの所に行き餌をやっていると1m弱ぐらいのとても大きい魚もたくさん見る事が出来ました！
スタッフの方に聞くと、白身の魚で食べたら美味しいそうです笑
残念ながらウミガメは見ることが出来なかったですが、また次回の楽しみにしておきます
5月上旬に参加しましたが、海からあがると肌寒く、着替えは持って来ずにバスタオルのみだったのでワンピースなど簡単に着れる着替えがあったらよかったと後悔しました。
天気も良くて全体的に良いツアーでした！

Did the morning trip. Entertainment was great. Beautiful spot. Activities were good. Would recommend this activity

Great view, great people, great music, great activities. 10/10 would recommend again! It was a bit rainy at the beginning so be prepared, but otherwise my family had a wonderful time at the sand bar.

We enjoyed the sandbar it was magical the service was great and friendly the timeng was perfect.

This was the best afternoon ever@ Everyone on the crew was just out of this world wonderful ❤️ The music was killer!!! Such beautiful voices! Lunch was great! Kayaking was calm and just a really nice afternoon on water.Snorkeling was also cool! Seen alot of really neat fish and a couple large ones in the mix! If I could do this everyday,I'd sign up forever! Aloha ,Mahalo

Enjoyed the sandbar, the music, the crew, the ambiance, everything except the snorkeling - tide too low - did not need the mask (which was leaking anyway) to see the fishes. Loved everything else.

I was very excited for this event and it actually far exceeded my expectations. The ride to the sand bar was pretty quick however I wish it was longer because they had an amaaaazing live band. Kaawa Entertainment. I could listen to them forever. Unfortunately, we reached our destination, and I could no longer listen to them. However, playing in the sandbar was soooo much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the kayaking and paddle boarding. They also had snorkeling which I didn't enjoy as much. But my wife really loved the snorkeling. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I both had trouble steering the paddle board initially and we were out of bounds. But the staff was very nice about it and helped us back in bounds. The sandbar is so amazing where you're in the middle of the ocean yet you are walking on sand. There were no waves so it was pretty easy to maneuver around. I could've stayed there for hours longer but the event was over. 10 stars out of 5. If you go please tip the staff and entertainment a looot. They really made the experience sooo much more fun. Highlight of our 8 day trip to Hawaii.

This was one of the best experiences I had while vacationing on Oahu. The bay is absolutely beautiful and it was so much fun to explore. However, The band and the crew are really what made the experience. The band was excellent, and the crew members were all so kind and helpful. It seemed like everyone working on the boat was genuinely happy to be there. Being in their presence helped me understand the “aloha spirit” a little bit more. Thank you so much for a beautiful day!

We were pleasantly surprised to find this last minute on our trip! We drove from Waikiki, definitely need to arrive early for parking! It was easy to find. Staff was very fun and knowledgeable, live music was great, even the lunch was simple but fresh and delicious! You can bring whatever you need on the boat and have access to it at all times. Location is beautiful. We unfortunately had a very windy day which made water choppy and chilly for me but still a very great experience! Many beautiful fish and my boyfriend was lucky enough to get close to a sea turtle! Highly recommend booking this activity! They even have a lifeguard in the water, good for all ages!

Group of 6 with young kids and my parents in their 70s. We arrived at 845 for a 9am departure. Signed waivers and bought stuff at the harbor- really nice store with snacks, beer, sodas. Didn’t depart till 915 so I felt a little robbed for our time at the sand bar. Which is my only complaint because we wanted to soak up every minute. All the activities advertised were there. Live band was fun. Morning Donuts were huge. Water and juice was nice. The drive there and back was smooth. Staff was very nice. My 3 year old wanted to “help” during clean up but was more in the way and the staff was very chill. They offered snacks when they saw he was sad to be leaving. We will definitely consider coming back for the longer and catered afternoon tour. Thanks.

We arrived at the requested 8:45 am check in, but at 9:30 the shuttle showed up with the remaining tour guests? Then we had to move to accommodate a larger party. The musical entertainment and staff were marvelous and of course feeding the fish was awesome overall pretty cool, next time we'll kayak un ourselves

My family and I had a great time out at the Sandbar. We have never snorkeled or been on a paddle boat. The crew was super helpful and made us feel very comfortable that at the end of the day we were all pretty good on SUP boards. The live music was awesome. Would definitely recommended to family and friends.

I was especially grateful to the female crew member who did her best to help when one of my companions got seasick. The meals served during the cruise were also delicious and satisfying. Thank you very much.

We were also lucky enough to experience whale watching. Since it was getting late in the season, I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a fortunate experience.

特に、仲間の一人が船酔いになった際にも、一生懸命対応をしてくれた女性の乗組員には大変感謝しました。またクルーズの間に出された食事もおいしく満足できるものでした。ありがとうございました。

途中運よくホエールウォッチングも体験できました。そろそろ季節外れになる時期故、期待していなかったのですが、幸運でした。

It was a great experience. The staff are friendly and helpful. The music was great.

No sunset and it sprinkled for 2 mins so the musician hardly played any songs. . Maybe two. Another passenger
Took pic of him drinking alcohol and not playing. We picked Tuesday for the MUSIC

Also, we were not made aware the food was available. My husband walked over and saw it available.

Couldn’t have been much better experience. Wouldn’t recommend.

Whole crew are amazing and show such excellent hospitality and service! Always make us feel so comfortable with our whole experience! Music sets the vibes and when you get to the sandbar it’s breathtaking! Even on an overcast day like we had it’s so worth it! so I can say rain or shine you have you have to experience it. Shyla was amazing and runs a great group, it’s always a must when we visit Oahu. Thank you again for the amazing hospitality and we can’t wait to come back. Mahalo!!!
