There’s nothing like a Kauai sunset and there’s no place better to see it than on the water.
Napali Coast Boat Tours
Kauai’s rugged and roadless northwest Napali Coast is sacred, protected, and can only be experienced by sea, air, or on foot. Holo Holo Charters will take you by sea, aboard our spacious and comfortable catamarans. Departing from Port Allen, you’ll experience Kauai’s entire northwest coastline– traveling along Kauai’s beachy and arid westside, past the towns of Waimea and Kekaha, Pacific Missile Range Facility, Barking Sands Beach, Hawaii’s longest beach- Polihale Beach, and to the heart of Kauai’s incredible Napali Coast.
Our Napali Coast Kauai boat tours from Port Allen are the best way to experience this amazing yet difficult-to-access part of Kauai. Whether you say yes to an action-packed morning of snorkeling and sailing, an offshore adventure to the “Forbidden Island” of Niihau, or a more relaxed dinner, drinks, and sunset experience— a drive to Port Allen on the southwest shore is well worth it.

Kauai Boat Tours
For most people, “by sea” is the optimal way to experience Kauai’s amazing Napali Coast. Hiking is too time-consuming and hard core, and helicopter tours are super cool– they’re just too short! On a boat, you’re able to spread out, get some sun, eat, drink, and relax while we do all the work. On a boat, we’re right there with ocean wildlife such as Hawaiian spinner dolphins, humpback whales (seasonally), and green sea turtles, and we’re staring straight up the 4,000’ sea cliffs of the Napali Coast and its iconic geological features such as the Kalalau Valley, Cathedrals, Open Ceiling Cave, and Honopu Arch.
There are many options for Kauai boat tours, so the question becomes: what boat do you want to be on? Comfort and safety are the priorities at Holo Holo Charters. Holoholo, our 65’ cruising catamaran and Leila, our 50’ sailing catamaran were both designed and built here on Kauai for style, stability, and efficiency. Both vessels offer plenty of seating and storage, and each have two bathrooms, for everyone’s convenience.
