This was an amazing tour that was the highlight of our week in Kauai. It was well worth the cost for our group of six for an amazing afternoon cruising the Na Pali Coast for for over four hours. Included a great lunch, sights and snorkeling for those that wanted to.The crew was absolutely amazing and made the experience. Thank you

I highly recommend Makana Charters for your tour of the Na Pali coast! Capt. Rob, Leroy, and Bobby were the best crew! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We enjoyed the stories and Hawaiian tradition around the various stops along the way. I was impressed that Bobby remembered every person's name on the boat and showed a genuine interest in each and every one. Leroy even took song requests! The water was a bit choppy the day we went, but that made it all the more fun! We enjoyed the amazing sights of the Na Pali coast, the cave and waterfall, the dolphins swimming right under the kids' feet off of the bow, the sea turtle waving hello, and the snorkeling. The sandwiches were delicious, too! I would definitely book with Makana Charters again! We had a blast!

Holo Holo Charters exceeded my expectations for this boat cruise. I think bedsides the Napali coast, the most impressive thing about the experience was the professionalism and attentiveness of the charter crew! They were incredible to attend to everyone’s needs and made sure everyone had a great time. This was the highlight of our trip to Kauai. The mountains and coast were absolutely incredible and worth the trip and $. The dinner was also very yummy and authentic. Only feedback: it was a bit hard to hear the captains story telling when standing on the sides of the boat… maybe more speakers or louder volume? Overall, incredible experience to see the coast and be taken care of by a great staff!

Absolutely incredible views of the beautiful Na Pali coastline. Captain did a great job of keeping it as smooth sailing as possible. There were some choppier parts of the journey, but we were pre-warned as they came up. The views were totally worth it! We even got to see rainbows over the coastline. As the seas were fairly calm, we were even able to see inside the edge of a cave. The crew were friendly and helpful, the food and drinks were fantastic too. On the return journey we were treated to views of the stunning sunset over the ocean. Would definitely recommend.
It is wonderful hearing how much you enjoyed your trip, and we'd like to thank you for joining us out on the water! We are elated to know how well taken care of you felt, and how much you enjoyed our staff. We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

This cruise was great! The captain and crew were so knowledgeable about the area and were extremely concerned for everyone's safety and experience. They let us know when the water would get rough and warn people of the possibility of getting wet, were diligent when someone was getting sea sick. They made the rounds to visit, offered to take photos, and helped people get seated safely with their dinner and drink in tact. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Loved it!♥️♥️♥️We attended on our 43rd wedding anniversary.!
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

This was an amazing experience in every way!
The boat ride felt like a roller coaster ride, the sightseeing was breathtaking, the crew was so friendly and kept us entertained with all the knowledge and stories about the island and lastly the snorkeling experience was so refreshing!! I am a non swimmer and so a big paranoid in very deep water, even with my floaties!! But leeroy took such good care of me when I was snorkeling, he even took me for a ride in the water with a tube, so that I could see more fishes and get a complete experience, it was amazing!!!
The whole crew is amazing, captain Rob, Kana with the storytelling skills and Ofcourse Leroy, they all make such a a amazing team. Will be back soon!

The Napali coast boat tour was definitely worth our time and money. The 5-hour or so tour was filled with constant activities, with experienced captain and the crew. The 20-or-so person boat was comfortable with the front-facing seats and a clean bathroom. It was also newly cleaned and painted. The captain also maneuvered through the caves and shore with experience, providing good opportunities for the pictures. The tour also provided an ample time for a snorkeling towards the end. It was definitely something we would recommend.

The helicopter flight was great - one of the best so far.
The staff was professional, and the facilities were new and clean. They gave us the phone harness and the wind breaker (which was essential).
The pilot - Steve - was experienced and guided through the entire flight giving us confidence.
The fly around the volcano was the most amazing of all.
The doors-off does present windy conditions on top of already windy (in addition to the lift from blades). So if you are on the edge seats, be ready to enjoy the ride with strong winds hitting your body and the face.

The boat ride was an amazing experience:) I didn’t know the only way to experience the Napali coast was by boat or helicopter. The views were magical and we got to take a lot of pictures of the sea cliffs up close. The whole experience had a magical few to it. We were able to snorkel and see turtles and many different types of fish. I was nervous about snorkeling but it turned out fine as long as you wear a yellow belt and don’t get caught in the current. I was able to take a bunch of pictures of the coastline, I also felt a spiritual energy. The guides were very informative about the Hawaiian spiritual practices and the different types of burials that were preformed in that region. I think you define get your money’s worth by going on this cruise. Each view is spectacular and picturesque. Also the lunch provided was flavorful and the chips were the best.

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Wir haben Delfine gesehen, durften die Kulisse der Napali Coast geniessen, waren Schnorcheln, sind in eine Höhle und unter einem Wasserfall durchgefahren. Die Gegend ist einfach traumhaft, der Ausblick auf die grünen Klippen, die Farben vom Wasser, die Abgeschiedenheit. Da könnte man locker den ganzen Tag verbringen.
Danke an die Crew von Kapitän Rob, das wir so etwas erleben nri

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!
