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
1
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.
2
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!
3
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.
Cancellation Policy
All sales are final. No refund is available for cancellations.

HoloHolo is definitely the company to book while in Kauai to see the Na Pali coast. We did the snorkel adventure and captain Aaron was amazing. Four minutes into our ride we encountered huge pods of spinner dolphins, then took a nice tour down the coast, topped off with some snorkeling (turtles included!). The captain made a last minute decision to change the snorkeling spot to give us all a better experience and it paid off. Captain Aaron and crew provided a bit of history, a lot of fun, and overall a really enjoyable Na Pali coast experience. If you want to do the Na Pali coast I HIGHLY recommend going from north to south. We did both directions (N to S with HoloHolo) and it was 10x more amazing. We talk about our trip to Kauai and keep saying HoloHolo tour was a standout experience!

The Na’pali coast tour had the most amazing views of all activities we did in Hawai. We loved the adventure option that entered the caves. Highly recommend it.
