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.

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 adventure was one of our 2 favorite things we did in Hawaii. We opted for this longer excursion that had everything we were looking for, views of the Napoli Coast, marine life, boat ride and snorkeling in Hawaii's beautiful clear waters. They appropriately warned you if you have any risk of motion sickness to have dramamine. They had all things available for purchase in the store front if anyone forgot a towel, dramamine etc. Tour included breakfast, lunch and bar on return trip after snorkeling. One of our tour guides was a marine biologist-she taught us all about the marine life. Each sighting was an insightful lesson!! She was so smart and fun! We saw spinner dolphins, whales and more!! The views of the Napoli coast were superb. The captain did an excellent job of navigating so that all parts of the boat could see the points of interest, as well as allowing ample time for photography. Snorkeling was amazing!! We were near a drop off, which is stunning in person!! I even swam with a monk seal!! Every part of this tour was perfect except the food. Food was fine, but could be better. They made great attempts to accommodate people but just not great in general. I'd reccomend this as a must do for a trip to Kauai.

The trip was the perfect length of time. The crew was knowledgable, funny, and extremely helpful to everyone, especially those that got a little sea sick. They had tricks I had never seen before. We learned the history of the Na Pali cost and got to swim with sea turtles and an array of fish.

This was the perfect way to see Na Pali. Leaving from Hanalei meant we were able to see incredible sights after only 10 minutes of cruising. Much better than leaving from the south side of the island. The 48 foot rigid hull boat handled the waves well, and was still able to fit comfortably in all the sea caves. It was also able to cruise right next to the coast line while the larger catamarans had to stay further out at sea. The seating was perfect with forward facing bench seating rather than requiring to sit on the sidewalls like other zodiac style rafts. Lance and Casey were awesome and did a great job pointing out the sights along the way. We capped it off with snorkeling at the Tunnels beach and it was amazing with numerous turtles and large schools of fish. It was the best day of our trip! Highly recommend the Na Pali Snorkel adventure with Holo Holo charters.
