Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Wir haben Delfine gesehen, durften die Kulisse der Napali Coast geniessen, waren Schnorcheln, sind in eine Höhle und unter einem Wasserfall durchgefahren. Die Gegend ist einfach traumhaft, der Ausblick auf die grünen Klippen, die Farben vom Wasser, die Abgeschiedenheit. Da könnte man locker den ganzen Tag verbringen.
Danke an die Crew von Kapitän Rob, das wir so etwas erleben nri

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!
You've left us with all the feels! Thank you so much for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for your unforgettable review! We couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed it! Mahalo and Aloha

My family enjoyed a wonderful day touring the Na Pali coast line. Captain Mike and his crew made their guests feel welcome, safe and part of the family. The bonus for me was the historic and cultural connection of the Mike and his crew to the land. We saw a mama whale and her calf up close. This excursion was the highlight of our vacation.

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。

Beautiful tour! We saw the coast, rainbows, whales, and a beautiful sunset! The food is fantastic and the crew is incredible! Do NOT do this if you get at all sea sick though because it is a rough ride out. I would also recommend sea sickness medication before if you don’t want to chance it all. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting wet because you will!

Absolute must do while in Maui. We saw several whale pods, mama whales showing their young how to wave, and excellent views of the coastline and Molokai. The crew and captain were fantastic, high energy, knowledgeable, and kept the drinks flowing. Food was pretty good, definitely go with the short rib! The catamaran was pristine and well maintained. Instructions for boarding and exiting were easy to understand. I cannot express enough how much the 3 of us enjoyed this tour. We keep saying it was an epic day. So memorable and enjoyable.

It was amazing with the bonus of whales, dolphins, and a rainbow. The crew's considerate service was very pleasant. There was a child who was feeling seasick, which was a bit sad, but when I told them there was a rainbow, they looked happy watching it. We were the only Japanese people, but it was okay even though we didn't understand English.

I was able to see a lot of whales!
I participated around the second week of March.
I was really moved to see the spouts and tails multiple times.
On the way back, I encountered a pod of dolphins and was able to see them up close.
I didn't understand any English, but I was able to manage by mimicking others:
- Put shoes in a box before boarding
- Get drinks on the boat
(Since everyone was putting tips in the box, I did too)
- Put tips in the box when getting off
I was quite anxious because I didn't know what time or where the pickup would be, and the people I was with on the way there somehow took an Uber back.
After waiting for about 15 to 20 minutes, the pickup arrived, and I was able to return safely, but I should have confirmed it on the bus going there.
クジラたくさん観れました!
3月の2週目くらいに参加しました。
潮吹きや尾びれが何度もみれて、すごく感動しました。
帰りにはイルカの群れに遭遇して、
近くでみることができました。
英語は全く分かりませんでしたが、
・靴を箱にいれて乗船する
・ドリンクは船の中でもらえる
(みんなは箱にチップいれてたのでいれた)
・降りるとき箱にチップいれる
はみんなの真似してできたので困りませんでした。
帰りのお迎えが何時にどこへ来るか分からず、
行きで一緒だった人たちも何故かウーバーで帰って行ったのでかなり不安になりました。
15~20分くらい待っていたら、迎えが来てくれて無事帰れましたが、行きのバスで確認しておくべきでしたね。

Absolutely loved this experience and the helpers on board made it even better! I really enjoyed how we would go along and the captain would talk about a certain place or landmark. It was so fun stopping and relaxing for lunch and going for a swim. I do recommend to bring something if you get cold easily during the cruise. The captains on board were very friendly and constantly checking up on people!They were also very open to answer any questions people had.

I participated in a group boat tour 10 years ago. It was such a great memory that I initially hoped to join a group boat again this time, but it was sold out a week before the tour. Since I really wanted to go, I reserved a private boat. Of course, it was more expensive, but it was worth it.
• Since it was a speedboat, we could get to the location faster than the group boat, and we were able to play for about an extra hour after the group boat had left.
• They prioritized letting us use the stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling gear, and other equipment, so we could play as much as we wanted. That feeling of being prioritized was incredible.
• A professional Japanese guide accompanied us, sharing information about the tour, Hawaii, and the pandemic. They played with us beforehand like a member of the family.
• They took care of arrangements for the restroom after landing and monitored our rental car.
Of course, the beauty of the sandbar was amazing, but I’m really glad I chose the private boat.
10年前に団体ボートで参加しました。良い思い出だったので、今回も団体ボートを最初は希望したのですが、ツアー開催の1週間前でSOLDOUT。どうしても行きたかったので貸切ボートを予約しました。もちろん費用は高かったですが、それ以上の価値はありました。
•高速ボートなので、団体ボートよりも早く現地に行けて、帰りも団体ボートが帰ったあとも遊べたので1時間くらいは追加で遊べた気がする。
•SAP、シュノーケル、遊具等優先して使わせてくれるので遊び放題。その優遇感はハンパない。
•日本人のプロのアテンドが付くので、このツアーのことはもちろん、ハワイのこと、パンデミックのこと教えてくれる。家族の一員みたいに事前に一緒に遊んでくれる。
•着岸後のトイレの手配とか、レンタカーの見守りとか、やってくれる。
もちろん、サンドバーの美しさは素晴らしかったですが、貸切ボートにして本当に良かったです。

I booked this for a Burial at Sea. I told the Captain what my father's wishes were, what he liked about the island, etc. The Captain read his obit, studied the charts & current for that day and I couldn't have scripted it better myself. They were unbelievable nice, generous & caring. A vision that all of us that were there will keep. Pictures will never do it justice.
I think he must know someone in high places, as the waters were VERY calm - like glass. The place he picked was beautiful - we could see all the way to the bottom. Picture perfect.
thank you for your kind review and for allowing us be part of your special celebration. Our sincere condolences for your loss.

Lovely crew, delicious Mai Tai, amazing wildlife viewing. I have never seen a humpback whale do a complete breach, and this was just supposed to be a sunset sight cruise! We laughed and truly enjoyed the time. Our plans changed from going to see the stars to this, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Wish I had understood I would be barefoot the whole time (I likely didn't read the memo). Would have changed which shoes I wore to board.

Many moons ago I visited the sandbar and knew I needed to come back again. It took me 10 years but finally made it!!
I ponied up the cheddar for the private speed boat and for me it was perfect. Captain K was so attentive to my family. (My daughter tripped in the parking lot within 20 seconds of meeting him). He bandaged her up. Taught us about the geography of the bay. Went out of his way to find us some turtles at the end.
My 5 year old had the time of her life with all the fish! Snorkeling was amazing. All the toys already out on the sandbar were amazing.
10 out of 10. Will do again next time in Oahu.
On behalf of Capt. Bruce, we thank you so much for your feedback and loving support! We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Bella esperienza, la barca ha tutto l'essenza Ale ed è comoda per passarci un paio di ore, i due ragazzi che ci hanno portato fuori sono stati molto gentili e professionali, conoscono bene la zona è puoi chiederlo tanti consigli su cosa fare nell'isola.
Purtoppo la giornata che abbiamo scelto non è stata delle migliori.. pioveva a tratti e l'acqua era un po' torbida.. non abbiamo visto le balene.. ma vabbè avevamo già messo in conto che poteva succedere, abbiamo fatto un bagno in mezzo all'oceano e abbiamo nuotato con tanti pesci diversi e tartarughe marine. Nel complesso ne è valsa la pena, anche perché abbiamo avuto la possibilità di vedere la costa sud di Oahu da un altra prospettiva, incantevole.
Esperienza consigliata.
Thank you for the kind review, it was a pleasure to have you all aboard. Our unpredictable hawaiian wildlife and weather can be challenging at times but we always make the most of it! Hope to see you all again in the future. Aloha.
