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.

I received a call ten minutes before departure from Holo Holo that the captain cancelled the trip due to "maintenance issues". This was our last day on Kauai and supposed to be our family's highlight at significant cost. I have been sailing my entire life and this is simply NOT an acceptable excuse. And, because of no advance notice, we were unable to book anything else. Stay away from Holo Holo!

Thank you for taking the time to share your honest review. We are sorry that the mechanical issue that we faced today when running our daily engine checks resulted in this experience for you. It's kind of like going to start your car... but you realize quickly that it's not working, and you didn't get any advanced notice. The last thing that we want to have happen is what happened today, but choose to be honest about it with our guests. No excuses, just the truth. Mahalo and Aloha

Scheduled as our first event of our trip, the tour and the guides did not disappoint. The Na Pali coast, beaches and caves were amazing with many photo opportunities. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable.

Don't leave the island without doing this tour. Stunning views, beautiful water. Saw dolphins and sea turtles. Swam with some turtles while snorkeling. Go in the morning when water is smoother and can snorkel. Super nice staff!
