Overall this was a great experience! - The Holo Holo crew is super fun and friendly, as well as knowledgeable and very skilled. They made us feel very safe and welcome. - The boat itself was fun and provides for a thrilling and exciting ride - The views are absolutely beautiful and we even got to see about a dozen dolphins - The snorkeling was our least favorite portion of the trip. It was somewhat boring, crowded, and the water wasn't very clear. There weren't many fish or other wildlife to see. We had much better snorkeling on the local beaches. It was probably a good snorkeling experience for beginners, but as an experienced snorkeler I was under-whelmed.

Blue Dolphin Charters' shop staff, Captain Christian & crew were friendly, humorous, knowledgeable, helpful & solicitous. We were plied with tasty treats, good food & beverages (PEPSI!). The scenery was breathtaking, & I loved having the details pointed out to me. I have seen the Na Pali Coast from the vantage points above, & also from a cruise ship. Seeing it from the catamaran was beyond words. The water was too rough to cross the channel to Niihau, so that portion of our fee was refunded. It was disappointing to miss that, but the Captain told us before we ever left the shop that we may not be able to make it over there. He continued to update us until the final decision was made that we could not go, so there were no surprises. We saw dolphins & whales & a turtle. Those of us who did not snorkel still were able to see some pretty fish that the snorkelers & scuba divers scared up to the surface. The crew made the rounds, chatting with the passengers, telling stories & listening to stories. I highly recommend this tour, & I recommend Blue Dolphin Charters!
