The meeting at the Port Allen office was scheduled for 3:00 PM, but I parked a bit early at 2:30 PM in the parking lot behind the "Holo Holo Charters" sign in the back of the building. There were quite a few cars, so it was good that I arrived early to park.
Before the meeting, I checked in at the office. I signed the "consent form" on a touch panel and wandered around the nearby shops until the meeting time. The restroom is located behind the office.
When it was time, we gathered in the square in front of the office, and the captain called out names, to which we responded. After roll call, we headed to the port. Before boarding, we took off our shoes and placed them in a shoe bin to go barefoot. It was a good decision to wear flip-flops.
Those who boarded early went to the back of the boat. We didn't make it in time and ended up sitting at a table inside, but it turned out to be convenient during the meal. We could move around during the trip and enjoy the scenery.
As soon as we set off, we were served alcohol, soft drinks, crackers, and cheese. We moved quickly towards the Na Pali Coast. The view of the Na Pali Coast from the boat was breathtaking!
On the way back, we had dinner (tacos) and were also given cookies. (Some people put their cookies in a paper plate and Ziploc bag to take home.) Throughout the trip, drinks were available for free. There were also two restrooms, so it was comfortable to drink.
Although we didn't see any dolphins, we were lucky to spot whales a few times even though it was May. The sunset that day was truly wonderful, with no clouds to obstruct the view.
It became a great memory of Kauai. We returned to the port around 7:30 PM after about four hours on the water. Since the boat was constantly moving, I think those who are prone to seasickness should take medication.
The inside of the boat with a roof wasn't cold, but since it was moving, I recommend bringing a light windbreaker to enjoy the view. Some people might also need sunscreen.
We were the only Japanese people on board, and everything was in English, but the two crew members were very kind, and the service was excellent, making for a really enjoyable time.
ポートアーレン事務所集合15:00でしたが、少し早めの14:30に建物の奥の「Holo Holo Charters」の看板の駐車場に停めます。
割と車が多いので、早めに駐車して良かったです。
集合前に、事務所でチェックイン。
タッチパネルで「同意書」にサインし、集合時間まで、近くのショップをウロウロ。
トイレは事務所の裏にあります。
時間になり、事務所前の広場で集合し船長さんが名前を呼ぶので、返事をします。
点呼が終わったら、港へ。乗船する前に靴入れに靴を脱いで専用の裸足になります。
ビーチサンダルで行き正解でした。
早めに乗船した人は、船の後ろへ
私達は間に合わず、中のテーブルがある席に座りましたが、結果食事の際など便利。途中移動できるので、景色の十分楽しみます。
出発してすぐに、アルコールやソフトドリンク、クラッカーとチーズなどのサービス。
ナパリコーストまでどんどん移動します。
目の前に広がる船から見るナパリコースト❗️景圧巻の景色でした。
帰りに夕食(タコスでした)を食べながら、戻ります。クッキーも配られました。
(紙皿ジプロックにいれて、持って帰る人もいました)その間中、フリードリンクです。
トイレも2つあり、安心して飲めます。
イルカは見れませんでしたが、5月だったのにクジラを数回見る事が出来ラッキーでした。
サンセットもこの日は雲の邪魔なく、本当に素晴らしかったです。
カウアイ島での良い思い出になりました。
港に戻ったのは、19:30頃。4時間くらい乗ってます。ずっと走っているのて、揺れるので船酔いが心配な人は、薬を飲んだ方が良いと思います。
屋根のある船の中は寒くありませんが、走っているので景色を見る時に、薄手のウインドブレーカーは必ず持っていく事をオススメします。
日焼けも必要な方はいるかも。
日本人は私達だけで、全て英語でしたがクルーの方2名がとても親切で、サービスもよくとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

This time, we invited a couple of friends for our second participation. I really wanted to show them the beauty of the Napali Coast. It's hard to explain in words. They seemed very moved by their first snorkeling experience at the age of 60. It turned out to be a great memory. We were the only Japanese people there, but the staff was very considerate.

We were caught in a little rain along the way, but the boat took us into the steep cliffs and the entrance of a cave, and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. I even saw a whale's tail dancing on the surface of the water in the distance. On our way back, while watching the sunset over the sea and nearing the port, the last song that played was "Let It Be," which really touched me. The captain and the crew were all very friendly. I was disappointed that I couldn't drink beer since I had to drive. The parking lot is dark and not very busy at night, so be sure not to leave any valuables in the car.
途中少し雨に降られましたが、切り立った断崖や、洞窟の入り口まで船が入り、大自然に圧倒されました。遠くに鯨の尾びれが水面に舞うのも見れました。帰路につく中、海に沈む夕陽を見ながらもうすぐ港という時に、最後に流れた曲がLet it be、思わずジーンときました。船長もクルーも皆さんフレンドリーです。自分は運転しなければならなかったので、ビールが飲めなくて残念でした。駐車場は、夜は暗くて人気が少ないので、社内に貴重品を残さないように。

The view of the Na Pali Coast is amazing. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. Personally, I have experienced sunset cruises in Hawaii several times, but the sunset cruise in Maui, where I saw whales and dolphins, was incredible. There was live ukulele music on board playing EZ songs, which was great, but if you're just looking to see the Na Pali Coast, this cruise was fantastic.

A woman from the United States (about the size of a sumo wrestler) fell due to strong waves and started bleeding from her toes. The crew member (a fourth-generation Okinawan) responded promptly and effectively, which was impressive, especially while the yacht was rocking from the waves.

This snorkel sail was by far the highlight of our vacation in Kauai. For years I've dreamed of sailing along the Na Pali coast and it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. The emerald cliffs were absolutely breathtaking. Other passengers spotted whales breaching the water nearby but I couldn't take my eyes of the coast. As we began our sail back to the harbor we were accompanied by a pod of dolphins who swam alongside and in front of our boat for several minutes; it was magical.
My fiance's favorite part of the cruise was the snorkeling. We had so much fun swimming in a secluded cove and spotting unique marine life.
I can't leave out the exceptional crew. As we sailed along the coast they pointed out historic sites, popular film locations, famous (and notorious) hikes, and told us about the local wildlife.
We'll relish in the memories of this tour forever!

We had a great time on this snorkel cruise! The Na Pali Coast is gorgeous and our crew made the experience that much better by being so friendly and accommodating. They were right there if you needed anything, ready to answer any questions you had and give background information on the island, and were even offering to take pictures for you. We were fortunate to get to see so much marine life from the boat--dolphins, whales, sea turtles, manta rays, and a baby octopus. The only downside is that we wish we could have snorkeled for a longer period of time (because we love it!). The ride back to Kauai from Niihau was definitely rough, but we took Dramamine beforehand and wore sea bands, which all seemed to help. The crew definitely lightened the mood with jokes and took efficient care of those unfortunate few who got sick. We would definitely recommend this excursion!

The weather was bad the day before, and it was raining in the morning on the day of the trip, so I participated with the feeling that it would be lucky if we could see anything at all. However, by the time we arrived at the Napali Coast, the weather improved, and we were able to enjoy the stunning views.
On the way, we even got to see dolphins, which was amazing. Cruising while watching the changing scenery was fantastic, and on the way back, we enjoyed a champagne service while watching the sunset, making for a perfect time.

This activity has all instructions in English, but I highly encourage participation even if you don't speak English. You can still have a great time, and the crew is very attentive, making sure you are comfortable throughout the experience.
When you think of snorkeling in Okinawa or Asian beach resorts, you might be disappointed in terms of coral and fish visibility. However, the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast are truly moving. Floating in the sea while looking up at the towering rock formations feels amazing. We even encountered dolphins and sea turtles, and if you approach it as a cruising experience, I think you'll be very satisfied.
■ Boat Facilities
Since it's a catamaran, it doesn't sway too much, but the cruising time is long, so those who are not used to it should be cautious of seasickness. There is a space inside the boat to shield you from the wind, and it also has a restroom.
■ Useful Items to Bring
It can get chilly when the wind hits your wet body, so a waterproof windbreaker would be handy. The snorkeling gear provided is relatively basic, so if you have your own snorkel and mask, it might be better to bring them along.
■ Meals
Breakfast: Cinnamon rolls, croissants, fruit, coffee
Lunch: Make-your-own sandwiches & salad, pasta
Drinks: Sprite, cola, green tea, beer, wine (white & red), etc.
The salad and ham were fresh, making for quite delicious sandwiches.
■ Surrounding Information
There are a few small shops around Port Allen, including a Kauai local chocolate and cookie shop, and a brewery. A short walk away, you'll find Subway and McDonald's. We didn't drive, so we took an Uber (costing $46 from Lihue) to get there, and on the way back, we happened to catch a bus to Lihue, which cost $2, and transferred from the bus to Uber. Most people probably rent cars, but since there are few Uber drivers on Kauai, it's wise to consider the risk of not being able to get one.
すべて英語のインストラクションですが、英語ができなくてもぜひ参加してほしいアクティビティです。英語が分からないなりに十分楽しめますし、クルーの人たちがこまめに気遣ってくれて、快適に過ごすことができました。
沖縄やアジアのビーチリゾートで体験できるシュノーケリングをイメージすると、珊瑚や魚影という点では期待外れかもしれません。
それでも、ナ・パリコーストの迫力ある絶景はやっぱり感動もの。
そびえたつ奇岩を見上げながら海に浮かんでいると、とっても気持ちがいいです。イルカやウミガメにも逢えましたし、クルージングメインと捉えて参加すると、とても満足度が高いと思います。
■船の設備
カタマランなのでそれほど大きくは揺れませんが、クルージングの時間が長いので、慣れない人は船酔い注意。
船内に風をよけられるスペースがあり、トイレもついています。
■あると便利なもの
濡れた身体で風を切ると寒いので、防水のウインブレがあると便利です。
用意されているシュノーケルは割と簡易なものなので、持っている人は自前のシュノーケルとマスクを持っていったほうがいいかも。
■食事について
朝食:シナモンロール、クロワッサン、フルーツ、コーヒー
昼食:自分でつくるサンドイッチ&サラダ、パスタ
飲み物:スプライト、コーラ、グリーンティー、ビール、ワイン(白・赤)、等
サラダやハムはフレッシュで、なかなかおいしいサンドイッチになりました。
■周辺情報:
ポート・アレンの周辺には小さなショップがいくつかあり、カウアイ・ローカルのチョコレートやクッキーショップ、ブリューワリ―。ちょっと歩いたところにサブウェイやマクドナルドなどがあります。
私たちは車を運転しないので、行きはUber(リフエから$46)、帰りはたまたまリフエ行のバスと遭遇し、バス($2)とUber乗り継ぎで移動しました。ほとんどの方はレンタカーだと思いますが、カウアイ島はUberのドライバーが少ないので、つかまらないリスクも考慮したほうがよさそうです。

No complaints about the boat, captain and crew. It was all professional and attentive. Food was great, beer selection included local and usual brands. As advertised, they don't overcrowd the boat, so there's plenty of room for the passengers. I do recommend a light jacket and hat. Unless you stay in the cabin, you will get wet. How much will depend on where you sit/stand. Amazing views to be seen and we were lucky enough to see a school of porpoises jumping around the ship. Sunset off the aft (back) of the ship was worth it.

I had been seeing and hearing about this wonderful scenery on TV, but I was moved to be able to see it with my own eyes. Thanks to Pilot Mr. Darren's English and his witty explanations in Japanese, I forgot my pre-flight anxiety, relaxed, and the time flew by. I will share a few experiences I had while participating in this tour for your reference.
1. It takes about 10 minutes (1 km) to walk from Lihue Airport to the Blue Hawaiian office. (I used the Kauai bus from my hotel for reference.)
2. When you open the entrance door, the reception is right in front. You will state your name at the reception counter. Next, you will weigh yourself, and the scale is located right under the mat where you are standing. (They seemed to explain something, but I couldn't catch it well.)
3. They will inform you of the start time for the tour explanation.
4. The explanation about the tour (safety) is done with a projector, and they provide subtitles for foreigners. At the end of the initial orientation, they will ask if anyone needs it, so I said "Japanese." (I missed hearing it.)
5. After the projector explanation, you will be informed of your seat position in the helicopter you will be riding.
6. After the tour, you can purchase a USB memory with the day's flight images (with audio) at the reception counter. It was $40.
テレビで見聞きしていましたが、この素晴らしい景観をこの目で見ることができて感動の時間を過ごせました。Pilot(Mr.ダレン)さんの英語と軽妙な日本語での説明で、飛行前の不安を忘れ、リラックスでき、あっという間の時間でした。このツアーに参加するにあたって経験したことを少し、記載しますので参考にしてください。
1. リフエ空港からBlue Hawaiiann事務所まで徒歩で約10分(1㎞)くらい。
(ホテルからカウアイバスを利用したので参考まで)
2.入口ドアを開けると、正面に受付。受付カウンターで名前を告げます。次に、当日の体重を測ることになるのですが、ちょうど自分が立っている足マットの下が、体重計になっています。(何やら説明されていたようですが、よく聞き取れませんでした。)
3. ツアーについての説明開始時間を教えてくれます。
4. ツアーについての説明(安全)は、プロジェクターで行われますが、外国人向けに字幕を付けてくれます。最初のオリエンテーションの最後に必要な人は、と問われるので、”Japanese”。(私は、聞き逃しました。)
5.プロジェクターでの説明後に、自分の乗るヘリコプターの座席位置が知らされます。
6.ツアー終了後、受付カウンターで当日のフライト画像(音声付き)のUSBメモリーを購入できます。40でした。

We participated as a couple, and all the other participants were foreigners. On the way there, we took a boat and after about 30 minutes of searching for dolphins, we went snorkeling. The water was a bit cold, but we enjoyed it for about 30 minutes. However, the coral wasn't as impressive as in Okinawa. After about an hour, we arrived at the Na Pali Coast. The breathtaking view was spectacular and definitely worth the trip (see photo). We spent about an hour exploring around the Na Pali Coast, and then had lunch on the way back, but I couldn't eat due to seasickness. Unfortunately, I had to have my lunch packed to go. About 30 minutes before disembarking, the waves calmed down, and I recovered from the seasickness, allowing me to have a late lunch. We made it back safely.
One point to note: the meeting place, "Port Allen Marine Center," refers to the area, but you need to go to the tour company "Holo Holo." I found this out by asking at a different office. I would like the voucher to reflect this information.
夫婦で参加しました。他の参加者は皆外国人。
往きは船に乗ってからイルカを見つけながら
30分程乗ったらでシュノーケリングです。
海は若干冷たいですが、30分くらい楽しめます。
ただ、サンゴは沖縄ほどではありません。
その後1時間程でナ・パリ・コースト着きます。
その絶景は迫力があり、行く価値は大(写真)。
ナ・パリ・コースト周辺を1時間程まわって帰路に
つきながらのランチでしたが、このあたりで船酔いで
食べれず。しかたなく、ランチを袋に入れてもらいました。
下船30分程前には波も静かになり、船酔いから
回復し、遅いランチ。無事帰れました。
1点注意事項。集合場所の「 ポート・アレン・マリン・センター」
はその辺りの場所のことで、催行会社の「Holo Holo」に
行かねばなりません。別の事務所で聞いて分かったことです。
バウチャーにはそのように書いてほしいです。

Blue Hawaii helicopter tour was Awesome! Brodie, our pilot was friendly and very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to catch a break in the weather and see some sights which had no been accessible for 48hrs. I felt so lucky! A great flight is always subject to the weather. Would definitely fly with them again!!

The entire experience was awesome. Nice building at the helipad with merchandise and restrooms if you need them. The pre-flight instructions and guidance upon loading/unloading was great with a photo op post-flight in front of the helicopter. The pilot made us feel safe the entire time. I get motion sickness on boats and was a little worried but no issues at all (I took a ginger pill but not sure it was needed as it felt very steady). Take photos/videos on the ride but be sure to just appreciate it with your own eyes too because it’s really amazing! Don’t hesitate to go, it’s worth the extra money vs. other excursions. FYI - this was a review from a rainy/cloudy day...I can’t imagine what it must look like with a nice sunny/clear sky!

Geoffrey was a wonderful pilot and tour guide! His knowledge of Kauai was extremely informative, and the views were amazing! This is our third Blue Hawaiian Helicopter tour in the Hawaiian Islands, and will only book with them. The Eco-Star is the best way to see all the beauty!!
