Holo Holo Charters has been named the #1 Best Boat Tour in the U.S.A. by the Newsweek Readers Choice Awards contest!

WHAT IT MEANS TO BE THE BEST BOAT TOUR:

Providing the safest, most unique, and memorable ocean experience available.

Maintaining the best vessels and equipment on island.

Providing the highest degree of quality customer service available in the industry.

Being the best company to be a part of and work for.

Providing a solidly positive impact on both our ocean resources and our island community.

Fun fact—did you know that Holo Holo’s tour boats were all designed and built right here on Kauai? True story! Every other tour boat operating on Kauai was ordered and delivered from a faraway factory in a faraway land, but we’re proud to say that our company’s boats were designed by our company’s founder, specifically to tackle the unique and challenging ocean conditions Kauai faces as the westernmost island of the most remote island chain in the world. Our boats will enhance your Kauai boat tour experience, and so will our personnel.

Friends, winning the title of #1 Best Boat Tour in America is a major affirmation that 1.) our company’s ideals resonate with people and 2.) we’re succeeding in realizing those ideals.

Kauai Boat Tours to the Napali Coast & Niihau

Every single day, from sunrise to sunset, Kauai’s coasts sing a unique symphony of natural wonder.

It is truly music to the eyes and sustenance for the soul watching the sun rising and setting into the ocean. We’re obsessed and we believe that it’s “the best thing to do on Kauai” and no visit to Kauai is complete without experiencing the island from the water.

"Fabulous Cruise"

Great service! Saw whales, sea turtles, bottle nose dolphins and spinner dolphins. The crew Drew, Emily and Jess were fantastic! They were very knowledgeable and we learned a lot of information about the island and the sea life. Highly recommend this cruise line!

"Beautiful Ride"

From the moment we took off our shoes it was a great ride. The guys were great and personable. Plenty to eat and drink and the group size was just great. Not too crowded. Beautiful sunset and beautiful water topped off the adventure.

"Highlight of Our Trip"

The Holo Holo snorkel/sail was a great excursion! The sailing was especially a fun experience. The crew was knowledgeable and helpful. Wasn’t a lot to see snorkeling, but it was still fun. Great activity for families. We saw monk seals, dolphins, turtles, and humpback whales from the boat.

Catamaran Kahanu

This is the crew you want to go with, they are so personal and caring. They let everyone on board get a unique experience. They are not like the other charters that take 100 people, this is a family-owned business that cares about everyone that sets foot on board.

We had such a great time. We saw the breathtaking Napali coast, snorkeled, saw sea turtles, and observed dolphins up close. We couldn’t have wished for a more magical time. I highly recommend. The ship and their crew felt more personal. You will enjoy a beautiful day at sea.

This trip was amazing. To start, the captain is extremely knowledgeable and their main concern is your safety. This is a great family experience for all ages. We got to enjoy the beautiful scenery, swam, and saw dolphins. We really enjoyed the Na Pali coast. Beautiful experience.

An amazing outing for our family of 11. Napali coast gorgeous and our guide was quite informative! The catamaran was able to get so close to the shoreline and we saw caves and waterfalls. The snorkeling was great and the equipment was provided. Our captain was outstanding and made our trip fantastic.

"This was absolutely the highlight of our time in Hawaii! If you are on the fence about doing a boat tour, then stop looking now and book with Na Pali Experience. Captain Jon was fantastic, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide throughout the tour. We did the afternoon tour and lucked into amazing weather that allowed us to visit all the sea caves. Snorkeling with sea turtles, incredible views, and coming back with the sunset light hitting the mountains... nothing comes close! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!"

"My Na Pali Pirates experience was amazing! Fun, fast raft rides on exciting water? Check! Epic views of the Na Pali coast? Check! Sea caves? Check! Snorkeling with sea turtles? Check! But most importantly, Jake and Jacob were incredible incredible guides! Fun and knowledgeable with the perfect amount of dad jokes and great tunes! This is seriously a MUST DO, and I will continue to do this raft tour any time I am back in Kauai! Stop looking at other boat tours of the Na Pali coast and book this one! It's fun and exciting and you will be supporting a LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS! Thank you to "The Jakes" for an epic time!

"The 35’ Deluxe Catamaran “Cadillac of the Caves” was AMAZING! Do not miss this when you’re in Kauai. Brian and Capt. Nate were fun, kind, knowledgeable, patient…all the things. They personally made sure every single person was comfortable and having fun the whole time. They shared tons of knowledge about Kauai and the Napali coast, played music, made us laugh, and were obviously capable and at ease on the ocean. The deluxe catamaran was big enough to be comfortable, but small enough to fit in caves and be an exciting ride. I cannot recommend this company and experience highly enough. It was one of my favorite days ever! The experience and memories are worth the price. Book it!

"A beautiful small boat tour for 6 cruising the Na Pali coast. The boat is small enough to go into the caves. JD was a great captain! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced which was very reassuring when it came to the big waves since it was a very windy day."

About the Niihau Boat Tour

Holoholo is Kauai’s largest and fastest catamaran. She is 65 feet long and wide enough to offer plenty of comfortable seating and space for you and your belongings. Designed for agility and passenger comfort, it will give you a fast, adventurous ride even at her top speeds. You’ll get to the fun faster for sure!

Built for your safety and comfort, Holoholo has two entry points for snorkelers, a shaded cabin with a large bar area, and two forward nets for sunbathing and relaxing. Licensed to carry 65 passengers, we never take more than 49, so you’ll have plenty of room to sightsee, snorkel, relax, and enjoy.

Say Yes to Adventure!

Holo Holo Charters isn’t the only Kauai company that offers Niihau boat tours, but we were the first! When our company was founded in 1997, boat tours to Niihau were to be our niche—nobody else was doing it. But a unique tour would require a unique boat and that’s why Holoholo has always stood out on the dock.

Anyone with an appreciation for boat design will tell you, Holo’s got “nice lines.” At 65’ long, 24’ wide, and with twin Cummins QSB diesel engines, Holoholo is Kauai’s most spacious and fastest cruising catamaran. Her long, skinny hulls and low center of gravity mean she cuts through the water with speed and stability. Over the years, Holoholo has been scrupulously maintained, frequently updated, and remains the best-looking, most comfortable, and safest tour vessel on all of Kauai. Holoholo is licensed to carry 65 passengers, but we never take more than 49, so everyone has enough room to move, breathe, relax and enjoy!

We’ll kickstart the journey with coffee, tea, juices, and a continental breakfast (eggs, fruit, pastries, and oatmeal) as we cruise out of Port Allen in the sunrise. Your captain will share stories, local history, and legends as we pass Kauai’s west side and get into the world-famous Napali Coast. What you’ve heard is true– Napali is like music for the eyes, and she will absolutely blow your mind with her dramatic cliffs, emerald valleys, cascading waterfalls, vibrant rainbows, spinner dolphins, turtles, and, depending on the time of year, humpback whales. Make sure your phone is fully charged because you might break your camera!

When we’ve reached the northern edge of Napali and we’re all feeling humbled and amazed by nature’s glory, it’s time to start the next phase of the adventure! It’s time to rip across Kaulakahi Channel to the “Forbidden Island” of Niihau and her neighbor to the north, Lehua Crater. Luckily Holoholo cruises comfortably at around 27mph so crossing the channel should take less than an hour.

We’ll poke around these two remote islands, talk some story about Niihau’s fascinating past and present, notice Lehua’s thousands of nesting seabirds, check out her unique geological formation “Keyhole Cave” and then, we’ll find a great spot to stop, snorkel and lunch.

One thing about Niihau and Lehua is that they’re very dry. The lack of rain or running water around these islands (in addition to the lack of any significant commercial activity) makes for water that’s exceptionally clear; visibility is commonly 70 feet or more! Niihau/Lehua is considered one of Hawaii’s very best snorkeling destinations and for that reason, we get a lot of repeat customers (including Kauai locals) on this Niihau snorkeling tour.

Seasoned divers and beginning snorkelers alike will be impressed with the underwater lava formations, bright colorful fish species, monk seals, manta rays, and more. Of course, we have all of the gear you need—masks, snorkels, fins, flotation devices—and we’ll show you how to use it. We’ll have trained crew members in the water with you, on a surfboard, keeping a close eye out for anyone that’s struggling or drifting too far off from the group. Your safety is our #1 concern, from the time we leave the dock until we return.

And hey, if snorkeling isn’t your thing, just kick back and relax. Shoot the breeze, read a book, get some sun, take a nap. Whatever makes you happy. Whatever…. floats your boat?

When we’re all snorkeled out and every single person is safely back on board, it’s lunchtime and we’ll serve up some freshly made lunch provided by our amazing caterers who specialize in creative, local flavors. This is also the time of day (5:00 somewhere?) that we can offer our customers 21+ years old a refreshing adult beverage. We’ve got a nice selection of beers, wines, and seltzers, and the bar’s open all the way back to Port Allen!

When we arrive back, you should feel relaxed, sun-kissed, and satisfied. Our hope is that you’ll have a greater understanding and appreciation for this little corner of the world that we’re so proud to showcase and that we’ve delivered to you and your loved ones an aloha-filled experience, that you’ll always remember fondly.

The "Forbidden Island"

Your captain selects a snorkel spot at the “Forbidden Island” of Niihau, and we provide all the snorkel gear and offer assistance and instruction so you can fully enjoy your time in the water. This is the only Kauai snorkel tour available for you to see Niihau and Lehua, with unique underwater formations, crystal clear water, and a variety of fish and marine life to enjoy.

Ocean Friendly Restaurant

When you have had your fill of snorkeling off Kauai, you get to enjoy a gourmet deli-style lunch, with all the fixins to satisfy even the pickiest of eaters. Assorted beverages including soft drinks, juices, and water are available throughout our Niihau tours. The bar opens after snorkeling with a selection of beer, wine and seltzers to choose from. Our attentive captain and crew are there to provide exceptional service and share the interesting history and stories of Niihau and its people.

"Stunning Napali and Niihau Tour!"

Have done the Napali tour several times but decided to do the extended trip to Niihau which was well worth the time. The snorkeling off the tip of Niihau was by far the best I have seen around Kauai. The crew was top notch, food excellent and we lucked out with perfect weather.

"Fantastic!"

We had a great time seeing the Napali Coast and the weather was perfect so we were able to get close to the caves. We also saw whales and dolphins. The snorkeling was fabulous off of Niihau!

"Great Time on the Boat and Amazing Snorkeling"

It was a great experience that we recommend to anyone. The crew was very nice, we had an amazing snorkeling time at the Niihau island and the time spend on the boat was full of beautiful landscapes. The Napali cost is just wonderful and we even saw some dolphins and sea turtles! It couldn't have been better!
