Na Pali Snorkel Adventure

Overview

Are you looking for a Napali Coast sightseeing and snorkeling adventure departing from Hanalei Bay? Look no further! We’re the only company on Kauai permitted to operate raft boat tours from Kauai’s iconic north shore and we’d be stoked to take you out on a wet and wild ocean excursion. Within minutes of departing, we’ll be into the heart and soul of the sacred, historical, and stunning Napali Coast, keeping our eyes peeled for Hawaiian spinner dolphins, turtles, and sea birds. With forward-facing seating, bathrooms, and a fresh-water shower, our vessels offer more creature comfort than many other raft-style boats. We’ll learn about the coast, swim, snorkel, relax, eat sandwiches, and just generally bask in the glory of the Napali Coast. Join us on this convenient four-hour ocean excursion that wastes no time and packs maximum action into every moment.

What To Expect

Holo Holo Charters

Tour Kauai’s Na Pali Coast aboard a High Speed Raft. The adventure begins when you leave from the shore of scenic Hanalei Bay and we shuttle you by dinghy to your rigid hull inflatable raft which is anchored just offshore. There, you’ll do a “dry-transfer”, stow your gear, grab a seat and get ready for the experience of a lifetime.

Hanalei Bay

Minutes after leaving the bay, the spectacular Na Pali Coast comes into view and you see why its dramatic cliffs and beaches have enchanted painters, authors and travelers for centuries… and we’re just getting started!

Na Pali Coast

As we travel down the coast, your crew and Captain entertain your imagination with stories of the Hawaiians who once made this coast their home. From sea-level you really get a feel for the tremendous scale of Na Pali. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles and seabirds which are often seen on our tours. Depending on the ocean conditions the day of your raft tour, we’ll stop and snorkel at one of several protected and shallow areas which will be teeming with tropical fish. Fins, goggles (with corrective lenses if you need them), snorkels, and flotation aids are all provided. If you’re new to snorkeling, our crew will be on-hand to provide instruction and pointers so you can get the most from your adventure. After you have a chance to snorkel and relax on the Na Pali Coast, we’ll serve a tasty sandwich lunch before we head back up the coast to Hanalei Bay. Expect to get wet and bring a lightweight jacket.

All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

This was a breathtaking and memorable experience! Memories for life were made viewing the beautiful coast, taking an adventurous boat ride and snorkeling along side my daughter. We had an amazing time! All of the staff were friendly and efficient. The captain and crew were knowledgeable, experienced and fun! We enjoyed every minute!!! Thank you Holo Holo Charters!

My husband and I took the tour on 3/10/20 with Capt. Rich, Jess, Christian, and Kama. It was a fantastic experience. We met at Port Allen at 6 am and arrived back around 2 pm. Unfortunately, I got very seasick as did a few others, but the crew was so kind and considerate. When the unfortunate events happened, they were quick to clean up the mess and got us ice chips and water. If you get motion sickness easily, be warned that you will probably get sick HOWEVER the day was such fun and the views were INCREDIBLE! We saw fish, sharks, monk seals, whales, sniper dolphins, and manta rays. But the Na Pali coast was the most beautiful scenery I’ve ever witnessed. So despite getting sick, the snorkeling and sites were an incredible experience. As for meals, they provided us with a light breakfast (coffee cake and scrambled eggs with fruit and drinks) and then after snorkeling, we had sandwiches, pasta salad, and veggies with soda and unlimited adult beverages. I give this tour 5/5 because the crew was fantastic, they were knowledgeable and fun. The experience was something no one should miss out on, even with motion sickness, and the whole day was a perfect way to see the incredible island!

I cannot say enough about or recommend any more highly this experience. The boat was clean and comfortable, the crew was AMAZING, and the setting was spectacular!! The crew made what would have been an awesome excursion one that will be a highlight not just of this trip but of all of our travels. They educated us on the history of the island, all of the different wildlife we were seeing (to include at least a dozen humpback whales!), and gave us information on each of the Napali Coast features we saw. When the wind was too calm for sailing, CPT Mike took advantage of having some extra time to take us even further up the Napali Coast to see even more! We loved our trip and will definitely be doing this again next time we are on Kauai!
