We went in November on our honeymoon and had a great time. Service was perfect. We never had to get up from our seat. We weren't able to go to Niihau because of the high surf. We were given some options before going out. We decided to still go out and at the end they suprised us and refunded us some of our money. Wendal and his crew make you feel very welcomed.
We are so grateful to know how much you enjoyed your time on the water and want to thank you for choosing us here at Holo Holo Charters! Mahalo and Aloha

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

5 Star Yelp Review:
Amazing tour with Captain & crew out to the Na Pali Coast and Niihau island! We had an amazing time! Drew and Kamaile were awesome hosts making us feel comfortable and welcoming us all onboard. The other crew members made sure we were aware of safety and security while onboard and allowing us to experience the underwater world during our snorkeling adventures.
Lunch was light and filling at the same time, beers were always cold! Wine and beer was readily available anytime we wanted one. Fruit and humus was awesome! Homemade ranch dip and homemade humus was so delicious!
We watched the staff engage in great conversations with everyone onboard including the kids! Captain took us out to the sea caves and waterfalls up close and personal! It was such an enchanting tour and we look forward to going on another tour some time!
Bare feet on the boat is a requirement unless you have a medical condition. Dry cubbies available for personal belongings you wanted to keep dry.
I highly recommend you bring a waterproof bag to keep your personal items with you or close by you so you don't have to keep going back and forth into the cabin for the things you need. I had a large Calvin Kline bag that was waterproof and I was able to tuck it right under my seat without worrying about my personal belongings getting wet. You can bring your own snorkel gear otherwise you can use the boats gear anytime. If you haven't been on a boat or it's been quite sometime since you've been on a boat, I recommend you take dremamime or other motion sickness meds before boarding because the ride will and can be rough on the belly. Bring your own towels and don't forget your go pros and or other water proof cameras because you will be seeing lots of amazing things out there!
Holo Holo Charters, thank you for a fascinating experience!!!!
We are glad to have had you aboard and are smiling reading over your review! Thank you for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for letting us know what you thought about your time on the water! Mahalo and Aloha

去年カウアイ島を初めて訪れとても気に入り、今年再び。ナ・パリ・コーストのクルーズは去年もしましたが、今回はニイハウ島沖でシュノーケルができ、絶壁近くまで接近してくれるこのツアーを選びました。
ニイハウ島沖でのシュノーケルは水深の深い部分もあり、とても楽しめました。また、絶壁への接近もとても見ごたえがありました。
ただ、船がかなり揺れます。ツアー当日、海の状態はとても穏やかでしたが、特に帰路はスピートを出すためか、かなりの勢いで縦横に揺れます。我々家族は辛うじて酔いませんでしたが(父親以外酔い止め薬服用)、ギリギリの感じでした。外国のご婦人方は次々とバケツを渡されていました。
乗り物酔いをしやすい方、少しでもご心配な方は酔い止め薬を飲むことをお勧めします。
とはいえ、酔い止め薬を飲んででも参加する価値のあるツアーだと思います。特にナ・パリ・コースト ツアー初めての方にはお勧めです!
It was a pleasure to have you aboard, and we are so happy to know how much you enjoyed it! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha

7時間船に乗っているがそのほとんどが高速の移動時間のため、やや飽きる。その場合には一緒に乗っている他の20名以上のお客さんと楽しく会話できるかがポイントか。スタッフはとてもフレンドリー、いるかも見れる、シュノーケリングもできる、昼のサンドイッチも自分で作るのが楽しく全体としては楽しめました。

We had a great time on this snorkel cruise! The Na Pali Coast is gorgeous and our crew made the experience that much better by being so friendly and accommodating. They were right there if you needed anything, ready to answer any questions you had and give background information on the island, and were even offering to take pictures for you. We were fortunate to get to see so much marine life from the boat--dolphins, whales, sea turtles, manta rays, and a baby octopus. The only downside is that we wish we could have snorkeled for a longer period of time (because we love it!). The ride back to Kauai from Niihau was definitely rough, but we took Dramamine beforehand and wore sea bands, which all seemed to help. The crew definitely lightened the mood with jokes and took efficient care of those unfortunate few who got sick. We would definitely recommend this excursion!
You've left us with all the feels! Thank you so much for choosing to join us here at Holo Holo Charters and for your unforgettable review! We couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed it! Mahalo and Aloha

My best friend and I was visiting Kauai for the first time. We wanted to choose a few excursions that allowed us to see most of the island and learn about the culture/history. This tour was...... AMAZING. Such a beautiful coast. The crew on the boat was more than great & very attentive to all passengers. They were all very knowledgeable about the island, and just overall made the trip fun. The provided lunch was delicious. Aside from the breath taking views of the Na Pali coast, we saw hundreds of spinner dolphins, sea turtles, seals, the forbidden island, and snorkeled. One thing I will say though, if you get motion sick, this is not the tour for you.
Thank you for choosing Holo Holo Charters! We greatly appreciate your kind review.

皆さん書いていた通り、解説が英語なので、わかればもっと楽しめたのかと思います。
いい体験ではありましたが、金額が高い。
以前テレビで見たヘリコプターからの映像が素晴らしかったので、想像していた通りかそれ以下だと思ってしまいました。
一回体験したらもういいかな。
ドアなしのヘリコプターに乗れば迫力あったのかも、と今は思っています。

This was an amazing tour!!! A first for us both and would do it again in a heartbeat!!! We had Guy as our pilot and he was amazing!! He knew so much about the island we had a hard time finding questions to ask. This is a must when you come to Kauai. This company is great as well. The only thing that happened was our video didn't get us landing but the staff did discount our video and I had videotaped our landing so we did get a bit of it though. We went with another couple ad they enjoyed it as well.

There is no other way to see Kauai than from
above. There is so much of the island you can only see from above. I highly recommend doing it. This is our 2nd time here but 1st time seeing it from above. It is totally worth the money. Plus they are the only ones that let my 6 yr old on. After the ride, my wife and I looked at each other and couldn’t believe no other helicopter rides allowed him on it.

テレビで見聞きしていましたが、この素晴らしい景観をこの目で見ることができて感動の時間を過ごせました。Pilot(Mr.ダレン)さんの英語と軽妙な日本語での説明で、飛行前の不安を忘れ、リラックスでき、あっという間の時間でした。このツアーに参加するにあたって経験したことを少し、記載しますので参考にしてください。
1. リフエ空港からBlue Hawaiiann事務所まで徒歩で約10分(1㎞)くらい。
(ホテルからカウアイバスを利用したので参考まで)
2.入口ドアを開けると、正面に受付。受付カウンターで名前を告げます。次に、当日の体重を測ることになるのですが、ちょうど自分が立っている足マットの下が、体重計になっています。(何やら説明されていたようですが、よく聞き取れませんでした。)
3. ツアーについての説明開始時間を教えてくれます。
4. ツアーについての説明(安全)は、プロジェクターで行われますが、外国人向けに字幕を付けてくれます。最初のオリエンテーションの最後に必要な人は、と問われるので、”Japanese”。(私は、聞き逃しました。)
5.プロジェクターでの説明後に、自分の乗るヘリコプターの座席位置が知らされます。
6.ツアー終了後、受付カウンターで当日のフライト画像(音声付き)のUSBメモリーを購入できます。40でした。

The entire experience was awesome. Nice building at the helipad with merchandise and restrooms if you need them. The pre-flight instructions and guidance upon loading/unloading was great with a photo op post-flight in front of the helicopter. The pilot made us feel safe the entire time. I get motion sickness on boats and was a little worried but no issues at all (I took a ginger pill but not sure it was needed as it felt very steady). Take photos/videos on the ride but be sure to just appreciate it with your own eyes too because it’s really amazing! Don’t hesitate to go, it’s worth the extra money vs. other excursions. FYI - this was a review from a rainy/cloudy day...I can’t imagine what it must look like with a nice sunny/clear sky!
