Hawaii
highly recommend this excursion. so much fun for all ages. great option for a non-water outing. 2 hours flew by so definitely glad we opted for the long tour. we had kid and a senior and everyone had a great time.
Did this ~15 years ago and was as good as I remember!! Had so much fun!!!
Boat ride was amazing. Only an hour but still went out pretty far and hit some nice waves. So fun! Drinks were flowing! Will definitely book again!!
The guys here are amazing. We had some much fun. They were really funny and conversed with you as well. After we were done looking at the turtles we got drinks, that's because of the package I got. But my sister, my friend and I loved it. It's worth the money, I would highly recommend this adventure and we were actually able to see turtles. They would point out where the turned were and we would take pictures, the ones who had GoPros. One of them even went all the way down and recorded it but I think I might've not hit the recording button so idk if we got the video, that's on me. But still I was so nice fun!!!
Loved it! The staff was wonderful! The dancers were amazing
This was a must do tour! We did the 8 hour tour and it was the perfect amount of time at both places.
Captain Robin was incredibly nice and patient with our party and has great knowledge of the area! We had an amazing time and wish we could’ve spent every day of our trip on this boat!
Aloha Sera, on behalf of Capt. Robin, we would like to thank you for this amazing wonderful review.
Amazing time!!! The staff was friendly knowledgeable and made sure we were all comfortable! We were in a smaller group so we got plenty of cage time! Would recommend this to everyone!!!
My wife and I are so glad we did this on our first day in Hawaii. We were able to appreciate our trip so much more after touring the whole island. Our guide, William Kalani, was so much fun. He was also extremely knowledgeable with his love for his home apparent. Would suggest this tour for anyone!
Definitely a must when its your first time in Hawaii! Enjoyed every minute of it. Tour was the best especially Lola went above and beyond. She made our tour really worth it. She was fun and knowledgeable. She made sure everyone's on board no one gets left behind and enough time to every stop. Highly recommend this tour!!! Would love to come back...
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.
The tour was very informative. We really covered a lot of the island, they call it the Grand Circle Tour for a reason. We met a lot of good people on the bus and the ride was enjoyable. The stops were broken up well, you we never on the bus for more that an hour without stopping. Some of the views were incredible. We had a great time at the food stops, Dole and the Macadamia place. We ate so many macadamia nuts and free coffee. The temple stop was also pretty cool, ringing the bell and going into the Buddhist Temple. The temple was gorgeous. Some of the drawbacks were that several companies do this tour at the same time so some locations are very crowded. That is not really this companies fault. We also got to the blowhole at low tide so there wasn’t much to see there, once again not their fault. The only thing that disappointed me was that my wife and I were looking forward to the Coffee Plant and Soap plant that is an option when you are in Haleiwa. We were not given that option like the tour said you were. When we pulled up to Haleiwa the driver said, “No one wants to go to the Soap Factory, we will all stay here.” That made me sad because I was looking forward to it and will never get that opportunity again. Other than that, I can’t knock the tour for anything else, but I also can’t rate it outstanding.
Kalina was an awesome tour guide. I apologize if I spelled his name wrong. He told us several time and it was the name of our bus . He was so informative and be so funny. He told us so much information and was patient with people who lost track of time at a few of our stops.He was friendly with everyone on the bus . I will like to book a trip with this company again and hope that I get Kalina as my tour guide.
Everyone in the boat are amazing and professional peoples, they have a lot of knowledge, a spectacular adventure and especially because we swim with dolphins in their habitat without causing them stress. thank you for your incredible work
Aloha Daniela,
Thank you for joining with us!
We are so happy you to enjoy swimming with dolphins.
Please come again.
We and dolphins are looking forward to seeing you soon:)
The girl divers are incredible, they have a lot of knowledge about their work and we love how they do to protect sharks, a spectacular adventure and especially because we swim with sharks in their habitat without causing them stress. thank you girls for your incredible work
So much fun! Our guides were awesome, especially BJ! Definitely a highlight of our time in Kauai.
Ulike what the description read, there was no in the water. Also, at the end of the ride, we were not allowed to gallop with the horses. Granted, only 1 of us would be considered an advanced rider, but we picked this one solely because of those 2 factors. Very expensive for nothing more than a " Trail Ride " , that basically was along a portion of the beach that has very little public access. If you have never done anything like this before, it would probably make some great memories for you. I however have had Much Better Sunset Beach rides, that I still talk about to this day, this one on the other hand, wont be talked about gery much. Do your research, call ahead & ask questions before you book. Most times, it is the 1 & only shot at a first time, lasting memory
This is such a nice way to spend the day. Snorkeling is the best. Dolphins are so great!
The waters were rough so the snorkeling wasn’t good and with younger kids that just made for a wasted day. The rough waters made the ride back a nightmare with all on the verge of vomiting. We salvaged the day by leaving early on the 2:30 instead of the 5:30 and having an amazing early dinner at Kimo’s in Lahaina, along with some shaved ice for desert.
Wonderful experience food & drink was amazing. I love it all
We were so close to missing this tour and am beyond glad we made it. The water was so refreshing, and the mix of calm and exciting flow was perfect. I can’t say enough how much I appreciated out guide Damion. He was patient, welcoming, helpful, offered local tips, and kept the entire adventure fun from start to finish. The lunch was great as well, and in a beautiful spot. Pictures taken throughout and available for purchase. All around a wonderful tour. Highly recommend!
Spacious ship, friendly staff, good food, excellent itinerary!! Bathrooms clean and would definitely sail with them again! Loved my experience!!!
Gabe, our tour guide, was funny, patient and very knowledgeable! It’s a long drive there picking up all attendees and up the mountain. He did a great job sharing interesting facts and keeping us engaged throughout the tour! Plus he was a very safe driver given the rough terrain (4-wheel drive required to get to the top). At the very top Mauna Kea looks like Mars since no life can survive and was a surreal experience for this reason. Plus viewing the sunset over the clouds at the very top was breathtaking! Note we did not stargaze at the very top, since the altitude is too high and actually prohibits ideal stargazing because of prolonged altitude sickness and the fact it’s insanely cold after sundown (FYI it’s windy and cold up there, so wear layers - you’ll thank me!!). Instead we stargazed near the welcome center enjoying hot coco or hot coffee! We learned about the different constellations, etc. Overall it was a great tour and we’re glad to we did it!
Went on captain bobs back in 2016 when I visited Hawaii and I just had to take my party this time around. Definitely will recommend to everyone I know and will be sure to book captain bobs again on my next trip to Oahu!
The staff is super friendly and they make your experience better than you would expect! The food is great and the drinks are great!
My teenage boys had nothing but good to say about this group! They had a enjoyable and memorable experience! They talked and laughed about it for hours! Don’t forget to buy the pictures they do an amazing job! My husband and I let the boys go on their own and they loved every minute of it!
The trip was amazing! The staff were very efficient. Got out of the dock on time. It had been a while since my boyfriend and I had gone snorkeling and we felt really safe with the lifeguards floating around us on surfboards while out in the ocean. Lunch was great! SO glad we booked with this company.
Great people and had a wonderful time. Would book again.
We had a blast! Our guide was so funny and nice! Enjoyed our time together!
My family and I had so much fun on this tour. Driving the ATV was such a rush and the views were incredible. Our guide was friendly and stopped at the perfect places for photo ops. I would do this again.
My family had a lot of fun doing this. Our guide was super friendly and made us feel comfortable riding for the first time.
