3.5-Hour Kauai Napali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar - Holo Holo Charters
A Beautiful Night on the Ocean!
Reviewed by: Tim
The captain and servers were very friendly and informative. We throughly enjoyed our evening on the ocean with gorgeous views of the Na Pali Coast. We even spotted some humpback whales. The sea was a little rough but the servers were able to walk around like they were on dry land.

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure
Weather did it!
Reviewed by: D Rowley
The weather, cloudy and quite windy, made this cruise less than hoped for.
It cause it to be shorter (didn't go all the way to end of Na Pali Coast), not able to enter the cave, not able to stay in regular snorkel location, and overall duration was 1 hour shorter than scheduled.
I realize this is beyond the control of the crew, but was disappointing.

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters
Choppy Waters in April Require an awesome Captain.
Reviewed by: Michael Emerson
If you visit Kauai in April and want to see the Na Pali Coast then make sure you book with Makana. To navigate the choppy waters you will want a good Captain.

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters
Awesome trip - very scenic, informative, and fun!
Reviewed by: Connie
Our trip with Makana Charters was a great time - our guides Cam and Asia were very helpful, knowledgeable and made the trip fun, as well as showing us amazing sights along the Na Pali Coastline. We entered a couple of awesome sea caves, saw turtles and hundreds of fish and sea life snorkeling, learned about the culture and history of the native Kauaian people, and enjoyed great views of the beautiful mountains, waterfalls and beaches all along the coastline. Safety was always front and foremost - we never felt at risk in any way. Would highly recommend Makana Charters - you can't go wrong!

Kauai Na Pali Coast Snorkeling Tour & Sea Cave Adventure by Makana Charters
Fantastic adventure!
Reviewed by: Billy
My 9 year old daughter and I had a wonderful afternoon with Captain Cam and his partner Tony. They conveyed wonderful information about the areas we were seeing, made sure everyone was well taken care of, and kept the afternoon moving along such that there never seemed to be a dull moment. Highlights were snorkling, humpback whales, getting into some of the beautiful caves and just generally becoming familiar with a uniquely beautiful area of the world. Highly recommended!

Best yacht experience ever!
Reviewed by: Deja
Captain Cindy and Chelsea were so nice. It was my birthday and they made me feel so special. The drinks were flowing and they even provided a speaker for all of my friends and I to use. We had forgotten to get food and they had provided us an assortment of finger sandwiches to snack on. We watched the sunset and jumped off the boat. Honestly that experience was the highlight of my entire birthday trip in Hawaii. I will not hesitate to come back to them next time I am in Hawaii on the Big Island !

I've been on this tour a few times, this time with my sister and it does not disappoint. The coast is absolutely beautiful and we saw both wales and lots of playing dolphins, which was amazing.
The catamaran was very nice and well maintained. The staff was wonderful and our captain was outstanding.
I would definitely recommend this activity and it is a must do when in Kauai!

Royal Hawaiian Catamaran Private Charter - Waikiki Snorkel Sail
Amazing views and service!! Would definitely do it again
Reviewed by: jumpingjellyfish
We booked a 2 hour sail for a bachelorette. When we got there, they mentioned the 2 hour option didn't allow swimming (the 3 hour did!). However, when they saw that we had come prepared with floaties, they accommodated us to ensure we could go swimming and use what we brought for our 2 hour sail! We never felt pressured to extend our sailing time at all - in the end, we ended up extending it to 3 hours anyways with no regrets at all.
The crew took such great care of us - they made sure our cups were never empty and took all the group photos we wanted, even from multiple angles unprompted! Some of us went diving with the crew members, and they happily pointed out all the sea creatures so we wouldn't miss it! They even took beautiful drone photos and sent them our way afterwards.
It became one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely book again.

Luxury Private Boat Charters from Kona - Daytime & Sunset Cruises aboard No Wiki
A beautiful and relaxing cruise
Reviewed by: Debbie
Captain Kurt and Dave gave us a beautiful and relaxing cruise. This was something the whole family can do. We were hoping to see some whales but they were a little too shy this trip. We did have a great snorkel spot. Dave showed the best spots to see sea life. My 2 year old grandson got into the ocean for the first time. Captain Kurt was able to assist some of our family into and out of the ocean safely. Dave brought up a starfish and a sea anemone so my grandson could see and touch them before releasing them back into the ocean.

Na Pali Sunset River Cruise
Reviewed by: Rosanna
My husband and I had a wonderful time on this dinner cruise! Captain Cole was a great skipper. He was informative in a fun way. Our crew Sara, Ahren and Keenan were super friendly and helpful. (We took another reviewers advice and took some Dramamine ahead of time just in case, since it did get a bit choppy. But, we enjoyed it) Our crew served nonstop beverages of all kinds and many yummy appetizers. Dinner was delicious and ample. We were able to see many whales which was an added surprise. Thank you all so much for a wonderful experience!

2-Hour Kaanapali Sunset Cocktail Cruise with Open Bar & Appetizers - Sea Maui
Great sunset cruise!
Reviewed by: Anh
This was a great sunset cruise along the coast of Maui. There was unlimited drinks on board and the staff was very attentive with getting you refills. I believe the food on board was catered from Joey's Kitchen and we had some pulled pork sliders, brussel sprouts, and chicken wings - they all tasted great. I would highly recommend this sunset cruise but make sure to book early because it sells out quick.

Excellent job by the crew. Service and facilities were great. They paid attention to the youngsters (4-10) and the old folks.... Saw lots of fish snorkeling, but also a mother and baby whale, spinner dolphins, turtles and they also provided interesting info.

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks
Breathtaking Experience
Reviewed by: Anjelica Mariano
This is as honestly the highlight of my trip. It was definitely worth waking up at 4am to travel from north shore to south shore. It was so organized and straight to the point which I loved. The whole crew was amazing and kind, always making sure passengers were okay and comfortable. It’s funny because I’m sure the crew has seen the views a million times, yet they still make it enjoyable and share such an insightful information about Kaua’i. The views were amazing and no pictures or videos can ever do them justice. I really appreciated this time experience and will carry it with me forever! Thank you so much, Holo Holo!

This boat is stunning and absolutely perfect. We did a private charter and basically could customize our experience. They had a beautiful charcuterie board for us, a cooler full of ice, a speaker ready to be connected to our bluetooth, they were an amazing crew - so friendly.

Years ago, we were looking for a simple sunset cruise with some drinks and apps. We did not want a big boat. We did not want a big dinner because there are so many special local restaurants to try on Maui. Then we stumbled upon Sea Maui. It is perfect. A relaxing ride on a catamaran. Taking in the sunset. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. The apps are still filled with local foods. Every time we go to Maui, we try to book with Sea Maui. it was just what we were looking for and more.

Wonderful Sightseeing Experience, Plus Unexpected Whale Watching
Reviewed by: MINY
Although the see condition was rough, we had a wonderful time viewing the famous Na Pali coast line. This cruise in winter time is good for people who do not get sea sick.
Besides, we saw a number of whales jumping out of water around our boat. It's the mating season for whales, therefore, they are very active. Seeing whales jumping out of water nearby was out if my expectations. I'd definitely recommend this cruise.

Kaneohe Sandbar Private Pontoon Boat Rental & Snorkel Cruise Charter
Perfect family vacation day!
Reviewed by: Kalika Moquin
This was the perfect way for our family to spend a vacation afternoon. We stopped and got sandwiches and drinks before. There was a cooler on the boat. The water at the sandbar was shallow and the kids had the best time swimming. No waves so very safe. Snorkeling and paddle boarding were included as well as other water toys. While snorkeling we swam with turtles! Our captain was great, and we are happy we selected the private tour and had our own space.
Thank you so much for chartering Capt. Bruce tour. We're very pleased to hear about your perfect family vacation day at the Kaneohe sandbar. Mahalo kindly for this wonderful review. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Aloha...!
