We’ll raise a toast as the sun falls below the horizon and the afterglow casts warm hues upon the island.

Itinerary
See the Incredible Napali Coast— We’re talking 4,000’ cliffs, steep cathedral spires, deep emerald valleys, waterfalls, picture-perfect beaches, sea caves, rock arches, rainbows, goats, dolphins, turtles, sunsets & much more!
The Joy of Sailing—Granted there’s wind and conditions allow, we’ll hoist the sails, cut the motors and let the trade winds propel us along the coast. We’ve had Leila rocking up to 18 knots! Boat enthusiasts will appreciate Leila’s smart design and “nice lines.”
Photo Opportunities Galore—Be sure your camera is fully charged because between the views of the coast, the sunset, and the golden-hour selfies and group shots, you’ll need it.
Hospitality with Aloha—Our friendly crew members will be there to anticipate and fulfill your needs. Whether it’s topping up your drink, taking your picture, showing you where the bathroom is, or sneaking you an extra brownie, they’re on your side!
Get a Sense of the Cultural History—The Napali Coast is uninhabited today but was once home to thousands of people. We’ll share the history, legends, and stories of this fascinating land, leaving you with a deeper understanding and appreciation for Kauai and her people.
Quality Food and Drinks—The bright and nourishing meals we serve are made fresh every day, using whole ingredients. There’s something for everyone’s thirst with our ample and creative selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages including craft beer, red, white, and sparkling wines, Koloa Rum Ginger Mai-Tais, juices, sodas and water.
A Safe and Original Experience—Every afternoon on the water is different, just as every sunset is different. Taking into consideration the weather and ocean conditions, your experienced Captain will use their discretion in planning the evening’s specific itinerary. Their aim is to show you as much as possible in the time we have, while always prioritizing your comfort and safety. Splashes can happen--bring a light jacket!

Great trip! The captain and crew were professional and very knowledgeable. So much fun and a beautiful view of the island!
The views and crew were fantastic! Our family knew we could see Na’pali by land so this excursion was amazing. The crew was knowledgeable about the history of the area, great sailing, and great customer service. It is a barefoot cruise so I would suggest easy to remove foot wear. We would absolutely books again!
Great experience. The staff was really friendly, the sights were breathtaking and dinner was delicious.
Captain Mike and crew were very attentive! Unfortunately spouse has mobility issues that prevented her from using the heads.
An outstanding time with HoloHolo Charters! Captain Mike, his crew Coral and Casey were great! To see the Kauai coastline was incredible. Really appreciated Captain Mike’s attention to safety onboard and Casey and Coral were great in explaining about the Hawaiian heritage and keeping everyone hydrated. The appetizers were great and the dinner delicious. And the evening was topped off with a yummy brownie and champagne at sunset! Thank you all for a delightful time!
Fanatic views and super nice and attentive crew. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to see the Na Pali coast.
Beautiful views and a fantastic crew that was always super attentive to our needs. The snorkeling trip is done only in the mornings and that would have made it better.
Mahalo for your 5-star review! We're so glad you enjoyed the beautiful views and felt well cared for by our attentive crew. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! Mahalo and Aloha

We'll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Thank you for recommending Holo Holo Charters. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! Mahalo and Aloha
A wonderful sunset tour with family. Great crew and captain, wonderful food and drinks, all around fantastic time. Scenery was mind blowing…don’t miss this cruise along the coast.
I was sea sick the entire time and didn't get to enjoy anything unfortunately. I didn't get to eat or drink so that was also a bummer.
