3.5-Hour Na Pali Sunset Dinner Cruise with Open Bar on Holo Holo Catamaran

Holo Va Ride

Reviewed by: Doc Vacationer

After helicoptering over it the day before, my lady and I weren't sure seeing the Na Pali coastline from below by boat would be worth the time and money. Boy, were we glad we took the chance! The two experiences were totally different. The sunset dinner cruise on the Holoholo catamaran was up close and personal. We recommend it highly.

Thank you for your appropriate response during bad weather. 悪天候時の適切な対応を感謝

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Unfortunately, our trip was canceled due to bad weather, but I wanted to share my experience for future reference. When I called the tour company at 6 PM the evening before our reservation to confirm the boat departure for the next morning, everything was still on schedule. So, we arrived at the port at 6 AM, checked in, and waited around. Then, there was an incredible downpour and strong winds. About 30 minutes after the meeting time, the captain informed us that we would go to the Na Pali Coast, but we wouldn't be able to go near Niihau Island. He explained that those who were going that day would receive a 25% refund on the tour price, and we could either change our schedule or cancel. I felt that the explanation was quite considerate. We decided to change our schedule. The earliest we could reschedule was two days later, so we made the change for that date.

The evening before the new reservation date, I received a call on my registered mobile phone from the tour company, informing me that bad weather was expected again the next morning, and they would have to cancel the tour altogether. Since we didn't have any other available dates, we decided to cancel. They explained that the full amount would be refunded through Alan1, which I understood. The next day, I received an email from Alan1 confirming the full refund, and when I checked my credit card online two days later, the full amount had indeed been refunded. I was relieved by the prompt and appropriate response from both the tour company and Alan1.

Weather is beyond our control, so I hope to try again someday. However, I realized that it's essential to provide your mobile phone number and contact information when booking a tour that can be affected by weather in Hawaii. Additionally, if the tour company doesn't have Japanese-speaking staff, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand much English. Also, for tours on Kauai, it might be better to book in spring or summer when there are generally more good weather days compared to winter. However, the rain in Kauai has its own charm and can be quite enjoyable.

実際は悪天候によりキャンセルとなり行けなかったのですが、今後の参考になると思い、体験談として書いておきます。予約日前日夕方6時に翌朝のボート出航の確認のため電話したときには予定通りだったので、翌朝6時、港に行き、チェックインを済ませたあとぶらぶら待っていた。そのあと、ものすごい土砂降りと風で、集合時刻30分後に、キャプテンから話があり、ナパリコーストには行くが、ニイハウ島近くには行けないので、今日行く人にはツアー代の25%を返却する、日程を変更することもできるし、キャンセルもできる、という説明でした。説明は良心的だなと感じました。私たちは日程を変更しました。一番早くて2日後ということだったので2日後に予約変更。再予約日の前日夕方、登録していた携帯電話にツアー会社から電話がかかってきて、翌朝も悪天候が予想されツアー自体をキャンセルするということだった。私たちはもうほかの日程の余裕がなかったのでキャンセルすることにしました。ツアー代は全額Alan1を通じて返却されるという説明もあり了解した。翌日にはAlan1から全額返却される旨のメールが届き、インターネットでクレジットカードのオンライン取引明細チェックをしたらその2日後にはツアー代全額が返却されていた。ツアー会社およびAlan1の迅速で適切な対応に安心しました。天候はどうしようもないのでいつかまたチャレンジしたいと思います。ただこのような天候に左右されるツアーのときはハワイでの携帯電話や連絡先を必ず届けておくことが大切だと感じました。また日本語ができるスタッフがいないツアー会社だと少し英語がわからないととまどうことがあるかもしれません。またカウアイ島のツアーだと冬よりも春や夏の方が天気が良い日が多いかもしれません。しかしカウアイの雨もなかなか味わいがあっていいものです。

Napali Cruise ナパリクルーズ

Reviewed by: ころころ

On November 21, I went to Holoholo Charters. My family participated, and the weather was great, making it a very pleasant experience.

We were the only four Japanese people on board. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication beforehand, but I had no worries that day at all. It seemed like no one was feeling seasick.

We started with snorkeling right away. There weren't many fish, but it was decent enough.

After that, we ordered some beers, which were delicious. Then we headed towards Napali, and on the way, we spotted a sea turtle. The staff pointed it out to us. Eventually, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They came quite close for a while, and we were able to watch them for a good amount of time. There seemed to be quite a few of them, and they were adorable.

After that, we headed towards Napali and saw filming locations for Jurassic Park, King Kong, and Pirates. The views were absolutely stunning, and I truly felt it was worth coming. The staff provided a lot of explanations, but since it was all in English, I didn't understand everything. My sister occasionally translated for me, but even without understanding, it was enjoyable. We got close to birds nesting on the cliffs and approached caves, which had many highlights and was quite impressive.

On the way back, we had lunch and returned to the port, but after eating, we suddenly felt very sleepy, and our family was the only one that fell into a deep sleep. I thought it was funny that we were the only ones sleeping while everyone else seemed so energetic. Some people were sitting outside the boat or lounging around, and it felt great with the wind blowing. The foreigners were getting sunburned from direct sunlight. Everyone seemed satisfied.

I think anyone visiting Kauai for the first time should definitely participate in this experience.

11月21日にホロホロチャーターズに行ってきました。
家族で参加したのですが天気もよくとても気持ちがよかったです。

日本人は私たち4人だけでした。船酔いが心配だったので事前に酔い止めを飲みましたがこの日は全く心配なかったです。船酔いしている人もいないようでした。

最初すぐにシュノーケルをしました。あんまりお魚はいませんでしたがまあそこそこという感じでした。

そのあとビールなど頼めばくれてとってもおいしかったです。
その後ナパリへむかうのですが途中ウミガメがいました。スタッフが教えてくれます。
その後ついにイルカの群れにも出会う事ができました。暫くイルカに近づいてくれて結構ながく見れました。かなりの頭数がいた感じです。かわいかったです。

そのあと ナパリに向かってジュラシックパークやキングコングやパイレーツなどの撮影したところをみました。
すばらしい絶景で、来てよかったとほんとに思いました。スタッフのかたがものずごく説明してくれるのですがなんせ英語なので詳しくはわかりませんでした。妹がちょくちょく通訳してくれたのですがわからなくても楽しいと思います。崖に巣を作っている鳥の近くにいったり洞窟に接近したりなかなか見所があって迫力がありました。

帰りはランチがあってまた港に戻りますがご飯食べた後は急に眠くなり私達の家族だけ爆睡でした。
寝ているのは私達だけでみんな元気だなーって思いました。
船の外に座ったりごろごろしたり皆適当にくつろいで風が気持ちよくて最高でした。外国人の方は直射日光をあびてあかーくなってました。
皆さん満足しているようでした。
カウアイ島の初めて行く人は是非参加した方がいいと思います。

I was not pleased with the actual snorkel time we had. Also, the water was silty and it was difficult to see anything.

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

A tour that allows you to indulge in the beautiful scenery of Kauai. 美しいカウアイの景色を欲張れるツアー

Reviewed by: むうむ

The Na Pali Coast is definitely best viewed from the sea and the sky. My husband and I highly recommend this tour, which allows you to experience this dynamic scenery up close. You can see wild dolphins swimming alongside the boat and catch glimpses of the leisurely honu (sea turtles). Since it's not easy to get close to Niihau Island, this plan allows you to learn about its history through announcements during the tour. Of course, there’s plenty of time for snorkeling, and you can swim freely at beautiful coral spots. The tour includes floats, fins, and masks, so you can participate with just your swimsuit (a windbreaker and long-sleeved swimsuit are also recommended if you have them).

The boat is large, new, and comfortable, but it does speed up quite a bit on the way there and back, so it's wise to be cautious of seasickness. It can be quite bumpy (though it might have just been the sea conditions on the day we participated). Even if you think you won't get seasick, please bring seasickness medication just in case.

I recommend standing on the deck to enjoy the dynamic and beautiful scenery rather than staying inside the boat, so having a windbreaker is very helpful. Experienced couples and families (including those from overseas) were well-prepared with adventure gear. The buffet-style sandwiches served for lunch are delicious, even better than breakfast! It seems that many adults participated, as you can casually enjoy beer (after snorkeling).

ナ・パリコーストは絶対に海から、空から眺めるのが良いという感想。私たち夫婦はこのダイナミックな景色を間近に体感できるこのツアーをお勧めします。野生のイルカが船と一緒に泳ぎ、ホヌののんびりした姿を垣間見ることができ ニイハウ島はなかなか近くまで行くことができないため このプランだと歴史のアナウンスとともに知ることができます。もちろん、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって美しいサンゴのスポットで自由に泳ぐことができます。このツアーには浮きやフィン、マスクなどがついてるので 水着と(あればウィンドブレーカーと長袖の水着がなお良い)身一つで参加できるので良いです。  ただ、船は大型で新しいもので快適ですが 途中と帰り道はかなり飛ばすので 船酔いには気をつけたほうがいいです。相当揺れます。(私たちの参加した日の海の状況がそうだっただけかもしれませんが)船酔いしないよ!と思う方でもぜひ船酔い止めをご持参ください。
船のなかでなく、甲板に立ちダイナミックな美しい景色を鑑賞しながらの参加がおすすめなのでウィンドブレーカーがあるととてもいいですよ。
こなれたカップルやご家族(海外の方)さんたちはそういう冒険グッズの用意が周到でした。
朝ごはんよりランチに出るバイキング形式のサンドウィッチが美味しいですよ★ビールも気軽に(シュノーケルのあとですが)飲めるので大人の参加が多かったように思います。

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Snorkel tour

Reviewed by: Illusiv1

This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.

Reviewed by: カレイ

If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely have to check out the Na Pali Coast, so I joined a tour this time. The view from the sea was truly amazing. There were interesting points like large openings that continued like tunnels, and holes in the ceiling of the tunnels where waterfalls were cascading down. I'm glad I got to see them up close. I also enjoyed snorkeling, and the lunch was delicious. It was a very satisfying tour!

We participated in a tour as a family. Since we had children with us, we were worried about seasickness during the cruise, but thankfully, no one got seasick, and we all had a great time together.

The caves and unique rock formations of the Na Pali Coast viewed from the sea were incredibly impressive, and we enjoyed the breathtaking scenery. Not only did we get to see beautiful landscapes, but we also encountered dolphins and whales along the way, and enjoyed snorkeling where we could see sea turtles and tropical fish up close. It was a very enriching tour, and I would love to participate again someday.

I had previously participated in a trekking tour of the Napali Coast, but I really wanted to see the views from the sea, so I decided to join this tour. The weather was great, and the cruising experience was fantastic. I was amazed by the sight of a pod of dolphins swimming in the deep blue sea and the breathtaking scenery while feeling the pleasant breeze. The impressive views of the cliffs and valleys are still etched in my memory.

I was looking forward to seeing sea turtles while snorkeling, but it was disappointing that I didn't encounter any. However, the underwater world filled with colorful fish was beautiful!

Reviewed by: はなこ

When it comes to Kauai, the Na Pali Coast is a must-see! I joined this tour to experience the beauty of nature. On the day of the tour, the weather was great, the sky was a brilliant blue, and the ocean was incredibly clear. The natural formations of Na Pali, shaped over hundreds of years, were more beautiful than I had imagined, and the grandeur took my breath away.

The snorkeling was fantastic, with excellent water clarity, vibrant fish, and I was lucky enough to see a sea turtle as well. While I thoroughly enjoyed the stunning views during the cruise, I think it's a good idea for those who are prone to seasickness to take motion sickness medication in advance, as the time spent on the boat can be quite long.

カウアイ島といえばやっぱりナパリコースト!大自然の造形美が見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は天気も良く空は真っ青で、海はとってもきれいでした。ナパリの何百年もかけて造られた大自然は想像以上の美しさで、はっと息を呑むような壮大さでした。
シュノーケリングは、海の透明度バツグンで色鮮やかな魚たちや、運よく海ガメも見ることができとても楽しめました。
今回のクルージングでは素晴らしい景色を堪能できましたが、ただ船に乗る時間が長いので、船酔いをする人は酔い止め薬を予め飲んでたほうが良いと思います。

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Quite an adventure!

Reviewed by: Nicole

This was one of the highlights of my whole trip! But first the bad stuff:

Be prepared that riding in a small zodiac very quickly through the extremely bumpy, choppy Pacific Ocean is not for the faint of heart!! You're basically holding on for dear life to a rope and you're bumping and bopping all over the place as you're speeding through the ocean. And then it rains and those drops sting you're eyes as you're speeding in a boat. If you even THINK you have a sore back or neck DO NOT do this! My boyfriend and I are both in excellent shape and we both still had soreness in our backs and butts for two days afterward from the boat ride and our knuckles were rubbed raw from holding onto the rope (we should have used the gloves the captain offered us!).

But it was SO worth it!! We even boated over a whole group of dolphins and you're seeing them way up close and personal in this zodiac rather than on a big high boat. It was so amazing!! The snorkeling is wonderful, the Na Pali Coast is

As an added bonus we were able to spot quite a few whales which was an unexpected treat since it was the middle of April when most whales are on their way back to Alaska.
We had a perfect evening with minimal clouds which ended the cruise with a beauitful sunset. We also saw a dolphin as we were making our way back to the dock.
Aaron, one of the crew members also gave us alot of history on Kauai. I highly recommend this cruise!
Thanks Holo Holo Captain and crew for making our cruise such an unforgetable experience.

Wonderful Experience!!

Kevin was a fantastic teacher! Having never even snorkled before, it didn't take long to get comfortable in the water. Was so exhilerated after, am planning on getting scuba certified for my next trip. Smoothly run & very well explained. Loved the video and am recommending this activity to everyone.
Thanks a lot Kevin, will see you next year. Mahalo!!
