Ni'ihau and Na Pali Coast Snorkel Boat Tour

This was our 4th trip over the years with Holoholo and we enjoyed the trip. The weather impacted our ability to travel to Ni’ihau, so we were able to travel farther up the Na Pali coast; we were given a 20 % discount upon our return due to the travel adjustments. The weather was windy and the ride was choppy heading into the wind but smooth coming back down with the wind. We saw several pods of spinning dolphins. Drew was our captain and did a great job describing the scenery. Noah was excellent at making sure everyone was waited on. Lexi and Kamala also provided good service.

This was an adventure that was well prepared for with a crew that was in sync with each other and the guests. This full-day on the water is not for everyone but those that can handle the potential rough waters to get to the amazing snorkeling spot at Nihau. The boat made the trip fun and enjoyable - I would not want to be in one of those rubber boats on these seas. We spent an hour snorkeling and another hour admiring the Napali Coastline. There's covered and uncovered areas to sit and the crew is incredibly helpful to each and every guest. I especially liked how the crew proactively took pictures of the guests along the Napali Coast - they were great. Highly reco Holoholo Charters and this trip if you want something you will never forget.

We chose the Niʻihau & Nāpali Snorkel Expedition because we had never been to Ni'ihau. It was totally worth the time and the money over a Napali-only tour. The boat is a little smaller than some of the others and a lot more powerful. It needs to be because we crossed the channel from Kauai to Ni'ihau in addition to cruising up and down the Na Pali coast. The snorkeling was fantastic - the best I've seen in the islands. A large, healthy coral reef covered with fish, and a curious Monk seal swimming around. The crew were all friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. The captain, Nate, was informative without talking too much. Be aware though that the tour goes out to sea. The waves are much bigger than those near the coast that you experience on a Na Pali tour, and a few of our group got sea sick. There is lots of spray - you'll get wet unless you ride in the cabin, and that's where you're more likely to get sea sick... So, its an adventure, and a good one!

Amazing tour. The crew Lexie, (Tamalo(?) and co. were very nice and attentive. Nate the captain did an impressive job of maneuvering the boat while providing uss with a commentary on history and legends. The snorkeling was very good. The tour of the Na'Pali Coast is as gorgeous as advertised. As a bonus we went to an area where a pod of spinning dolphins, adults, teenagers, and babies came to play around with the boat for quite a while. We were 3 adults and loved it. Warning: take your Dramamine with you, even if you don't usually get seasick. This boat goes fast!

Outstanding day on the water. This was the best snorkeling every one of us have experience. Captain Drew, kalama. Olivia and the final crew member were absolutely wonderful. So attentive and the bonus trip up the coast was so worth it. We have picture and memories to last a lifetime. Who can say they drove a boat through a waterfall and saw reef sharks, monk seals, goats and spinner dolphins...just to mention a few... all in one trip?! Very appreciative of the moments and memories that will last a lifetime!!! Highly recommend to anyone considering this adventure!
