Crew was amazing, so kind...

Incredible experience for everyone!

The crew of the Holoholo charters boat was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had a guest who on the way back felt the motion of the ocean a little too much and was unfortunately very seasick on the way back. The crew assisted her as much as possible, moving other guests around to allow for the best seats to minimize sea sickness. I recommend taking some anti motion sickness pills before heading to the ride as a precaution, even if you don’t normally get seasick.
The views from the boat were INCREDIBLE. we got to see Ni’ihau and Lehua Crater up close and personally, and even got to see a monk seal. She swam up and got close while we were snorkeling which was an awesome experience.
I definitely recommend this tour to anyone who is looking at seeing the Napali coast from the boats, as well as have a little sense of adventure.
Fun time

The Na Pali cost was fascinating, and the snorkeling at Niihau very clear. The boat was very comfortable. We did not have the level of chop in the channel that the captain said to be prepared for. Both the breakfast and lunch served were very good.
One thing to be prepared for is that this is a LONG trip - about 8 hours from the time you meet to get on the boat until when you get off. You do get back in time to do something else in the late afternoon, but if you or your kids aren't really looking to spend most of a day on a boat this would not be the best trip for you.
Beautiful and secluded!

The boat, the crew, the snorkeling, the sites were all excellent. We saw spinner dolphins, bottle nosed dolphins, monkfish seals, short-finned pilot whales and three humpback whales. The food was solid too.
The only negative (which is not the company's fault) is that the water is really choppy to and from ni'i hau and at least a dozen people on our trip got seasick. The crew was incredibly helpful offering chipped ice, paper towels, barf bags, etc. but not for those who get queasy easily. Bring dramamine.

Super Trip!

We are a couple in our 50’s and enjoyed this adventure very much. The catamaran has an inside section with seating and tables which was nice for a break from the sun, wind, occasional rain and to eat. I highly suggest taking something to prevent motion sickness as many people who did not got sick on the way back. The catamaran is huge and handles the waves well but the waves are quite large and inevitable so getting sick can put a damper on your experience. The staff were friendly and worked great as a team to make sure everyone had a fabulous time. The views at NaPali are outstanding. Lots of dolphins follow the ride. Ni’ihau is an island that you don’t actually go on because it is forbidden and privately owned but you will snorkel nearby and learn about it.
A day too remember

The views were beautiful. The boat crew were excellent. The captain really knew how and where to put that boat. He put us right underneath a waterfall and soaked the entire boat. It was awesome!! Saw some whales. Saw a shark. Saw a few monk seals fight it out. Saw a lot of fishies. We had a great time!! Would do it again. Hopefully with the same crew.

The whales we saw was great. The food was not like the spread shown in the advertisement, should really work on that aspect. The boat was pretty small with all the people that were on board, limit the amount of folks then it might of been a more pleasant experience. The crew was very nice though.
Saw soooooo many humpback...

Amazing Na Pali Tour, HoloHolo
Steven_W
, Feb 2022
Loved the day trip along Na Pali. Went in winter during high swells so very rough waters. I don’t get sea sick or motion sick so not an issue and the rough water made it fun!!
Captain and crew were fun and informative and took care of everything. They ensured everyone was fed and had drinks. Food tasted great and can’t wait to come back and tour with them again!

A great day at Na Pali!

A great day up the Na Pali Coast with Holo Holo! The crew, Keenan, James and Heather kept us all relaxed and well cared for while Captain found us whales, dolphins and Manta Rays as well as Sea Turtles and loads of fish when we snorkeled. The ride was bumpy due to the winter swell, but that was to be expected and we were well warned about it. Overall a great tour, with lots of room on the catamaran. Will come back again!
Spectacular

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
