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!

We were out on the water from maybe 2:30 until after the sun went down at around 8:00. We got pretty wet staying out on top to avoid getting seasick down below. We were glad the boat was at about half-capacity, so we had room to move around. The scenery was spectacular, the staff attentive, but the ride was pretty rocky for most of the trip (which the captain said was pretty typical). Didn't really have the appetite for dinner, so we took it with us. Several people were seasick. Glad we avoided it.
Staff was fabulous Very knowledgeable, took care of all the passengers on board, captain made this a memorable trip
Drew, Captain K, Shania and Christina were a fantastic team. They all went out of their way to be friendly helpful and service all the guests. I am especially appreciative of Drew who was captain for most of the trip. We had favorable weather conditions and calm oceans and so we made good time. He brought us not only to Kalalau, but almost to Hanakapi Beach! I have taken three tours with Holo Holo and this was by far the best. We even got to see into the caves up close. And Drew's narration was so informative giving us details along the way to help us understand the coastline and a bit of the history. The drinks, appetizers, and dinner were tasty and well presented. I give this six out of five stars!
This is everything that we love to hear! We are so glad to have had you aboard and couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed your tour and Captain Drew! Until we meet again... Mahalo and Aloha
Beautiful and great crew with Mike, John and Selma!!! Very caring people! . Food was very tasty both snack and dinner!💕
This was a unique experience to add to our trip. The crew was attentive and made sure everyone was comfortable while keeping safety a priority. The ride can get rough so take some precautions if necessary. Captain Mike, Nichole, and Mason did a fantastic job!
We did the Napali coast sunset and dinner cruise. It was beautiful. Captain Max and the crew did a fantastic job. The food and drinks are great. You will get sea spray, so take a light waterproof jacket if you want to stay dry. It is an open ocean cruise. Captain Max did a great job letting us know what to expect before we left the office. It wasn't as rough as Captain Max expected, but twenty percent of the passengers were seasick. This was at no fault of the captain, crew or cruise. I recommend taking Dramamine before any Napali coast cruise. The Napali coast is amazing and Captain Max and crews knowledge made the voyage great.
It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed our staff, and all that you experienced out on the water! Thank you so much for joining us and for your awesome, honest review! Mahalo and Aloha
Lovely and relaxing experience ! The crew was very helpful and pretty fun . Everything was timed out well and we even saw dolphins jumping out of the water , highly recommend 💜
Captain Kyle and crew were absolutely phenomenal! They attended to our every need and showed us one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world! The food was great as well! There was some choppy waters but nothing a motion sickness patch couldn’t fix. Make sure you take it beforehand!
We booked with TripAdvisor and had a great time. We were lucky to get in with little notice. Food and drinks were great, crew was friendly and helpful. We were the oldest geezers there, and the crew offered us lots oh help with mobility. We learned a lot of history and culture and saw an awesome sunset.
It was our pleasure to have you aboard and we couldn't be happier knowing how much you enjoyed your time on the water with us! Mahalo and Aloha
Highly recommend this trip. Had fair warning from the crew that it was going to be windy weather/a choppy ride, with the option to reschedule or get a refund if people wanted to opt out. Everybody elected to go and we had a great time. The ride in the back of the boat was much smoother, and the front was exhilarating. You will likely get wet (you’re on a boat). Dramamine or similar can help with seasickness. The views were breathtaking, crew was knowledgeable and kind, food was good. 10/10 would recommend!
It's wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your time on the water with us! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell us about your experience, and for sharing some great details! We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha
