Highly recommend - A highlight of our trip!
The Makana Charter Company is a class act - highly recommend. We took this half-day boat tour + snorkelling with our group of six, including four people ages 16 to 24. We felt welcomed and very taken care of by the friendly and knowledgeable captain and crew. It was a splurge cost-wise for us, but totally worth it. A highlight of our exceptional first visit to Kauai!

Breathtaking and so much fun
Probably the best day here on Kauai. We had originally booked the snorkel tour but due to the hurricane they cancelled that. When I called, they were so accommodating and suggested the sunset cruise the same day. Honestly so much fun, crew was amazing, food delicious and I can’t say enough! And the playlist made by the captain himself was perfect. Thank u for being the highlight of our vacation. Would highly recommend. Thank u guys!

Ni’ihau and Na Pali Coast Snorkel Boat Tour
ChaChaDad, Sep 2026
Good Time Despite Conditions
This was our 4th trip over the years with Holoholo and we enjoyed the trip. The weather impacted our ability to travel to Ni’ihau, so we were able to travel farther up the Na Pali coast; we were given a 20 % discount upon our return due to the travel adjustments. The weather was windy and the ride was choppy heading into the wind but smooth coming back down with the wind. We saw several pods of spinning dolphins. Drew was our captain and did a great job describing the scenery. Noah was excellent at making sure everyone was waited on. Lexi and Kamala also provided good service.

Great local tour guides. Worth the money to include this in your vacation.
We have gone on this tour twice - once in 2025 and once in 2026. Both times with had very knowledgeable local guides. They were able to give lots of history and personal insights to Kauai. Both were great drivers and went out of their way to make the day enjoyable. Both years we had to switch the day of our tour due to rescheduling of other activities. The company was very easy to work with to make the changes. Very worth the money to have this experience on Kauai.

Crew was amazing, food was tasty. We saw dolphins and beautiful cliffsides. It is a very long tour and even I was a little seasick from being bounced around for 4 hours by the end.

An Amazing Local Kauaʻi Experience!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shasta and this family owned tour company. This was truly a top notch experience from beginning to end.Shasta is a local, and that made our tour feel so much more special. She shared beautiful places around Kauaʻi that felt like the kinds of places only locals would know. We weren’t simply sightseeing. We felt like we were getting to experience the island through someone who genuinely loves it and knows it so well.One of our stops was the beautiful Wailua Falls, and if you have the opportunity while you’re there, I hope you also get to meet Makepa B, the Lauhala Man. He was such a special person to meet and talk with and added another wonderful memory to our day. I thoroughly recommend taking the time to visit with him. You can also purchase a beautiful handmade keepsake to bring home, which makes the experience even more special.Shasta also took us to a wonderful local spot where we enjoyed fresh sugar cane and smoothies made with incredibly fresh ingredients. These little local experiences were some of my favorite parts of the day because they made the tour feel so authentic. It felt like we were getting a glimpse of the real Kauaʻi rather than just visiting the usual tourist stops.Because this was a small group island waterfall tour, we received such wonderful personal attention. Shasta was lovely, knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly helpful. We all had such a great time with her.What impressed me even more was how much she genuinely cared about us. I needed to get to the airport on time after the tour, and Shasta went out of her way to make sure I got there, personally dropping me off. That kind of kindness and customer service is something you don’t forget.Between the waterfalls, the beautiful scenery, the local experiences, and Shasta’s personal attention, this was such a special way to experience Kauaʻi. I would 100% recommend this family owned company and Shasta to anyone visiting the island.We had so much fun, made some wonderful memories, and I would book this tour again without hesitation! 🌺🌴
