当日は生憎風が強く予定されていたコースが変更されました。 このため念願のナ・パリ・コーストまではたどりつけず(泣) 事前に説明を受けましたが、詳しくは把握できないまま出航。出航も40分ほど遅れていました。 沖に出るとウミガメに遭遇、そこからしばらくするとザトウクジラが、、、今回のもうひとつの目的がホエールウォッチングだったのでそれはそれでいいか。 何度も何度もブリーチを繰り返す鯨の姿に圧倒されながらあっという間の3時間でした。フィナーレはサンセットを見ながら、イルカの群れとクルージング、、、ドリンク飲み放題、軽い食事つきでしたが十分楽しみました。 ただし小型船の上での食事ですので、あまり期待はしないほうがいいでしょう。。。 次回は是非ナ・パリ・コーストまで!

This is a great tour for those that want an easy, non-strenuous ride up and back on the river. I just did not enjoy being packed in with that many people to see the attraction after hiking and adventuring all week and then going on a garden tour directly before this one. I thought it was the only way to get to the grotto, and didn't like being herded in a huge group to see the ferns and hurry and take a photo. We really wished we knew that renting kayaks from the same company was an option because that looked way more our style. Aside from that, the staff was nice and gave an informative tour and musical entertainment for the ride. Best suited for older or more conservative tourists.

Guides were great. Just be aware the actual time in the water probably closer to an hour. You will also spin more than you might have anticipated as you bounce off side walls. Going through the caves was cool.

The luau is just average. The show portion of the luau is in a "theater" type setting making it seem removed from the luau. The food was ok. They did try hard to accommodate my food allergy and prepared a separate plate for me.

We went to this luau with our two adult daughters. It was such a beautiful place to explore! We were able to walk around and take pictures. The dinner was good and nicely displayed. There was a little of something for everyone to like. The show was very good and entertaining. It got a little hard to sit for that long on the forward slanted seating though. I would recommend for a fun night.

Such a great experience- travel up the Wailua River, learn about history (Hawaiian and movie), visit the beautiful fern grotto, and learn the hula on your boat ride back to the dock. Easygoing and enchanting, photographic and peaceful.

The entire crew was amazing! They were thoughtful, attentive, and caring the entire trip. Several people aboard were sick to their stomach due to rough, choppy water, but the crew was so sweet to those having problems. They were quick to serve, offer, and pick up food items, drinks, etc. I'd definitely take a tour with this company again. They get 5 stars for customer satisfaction and service.
We are so happy to be a part of memories you'll be looking back on for years to come! Thank you for choosing us here at Holo Holo Charters and for letting us know what a great time you had! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha
