Our tour ended up being with HoloHolo Charters and they were simply wonderful. They had our Viator reservation and it was no problem at all to confirm our booking. Having been on another NaPali sunset dinner cruise, I can say without question that the HoloHolo boat is by far the better experience. More seating both outdoors and inside as well as two bathrooms. These are located on the single, main deck as opposed to having to go down tiny winding stairs on a rocking boat to get to the "Head". The crew (Captain Glenn, Matt and Kelly) couldn't have been more attentive, with getting drinks, assistance navigating around the boat, and with any questions regarding the history or landscape of Kauai. We were blessed with almost perfect conditions with regards to the weather and the waves and were able to go quite close to the coast and had numerous whale and dolphin sightings. I know this is not always the case so we knew how fortunate we were! I personally am not prone to seasickness at all and had no problems, although a couple of passengers did feel queasy. But Matt and Kelly were both right there to administer aid with dramamine and ginger ale the moment they began to feel the symptoms. Viator leads you to believe that the menu will be appetizers, and I suppose that is because they book you with whatever cruise company has availability, but know that your menu may not be exactly as stated. But really - who goes to the NaPali coast for the food?! The view is really the draw! And the NaPali coast is breathtakingly spectacular!

Our trip was with the HoloHolo tours. Their vessel, crew and provisions were excellent handling our every need in a willing and graceous manner. The skipper was quite informative. He spoke of the islands and structures, the care and concerns for the environments and made the journey quite enjoyable. The crew were fun and made everyone comfortable and accommodated each need. Everyone was friendly.
Although we didn't expect to see everything in the brochure (as the seasons were coming to an end) we did see manta rays, monk seals spinner dolphins, pods of dolphin families and several whales. The scuba time was excellent. We were well prepared and informed and completely safe (we were told that there had been 11 deaths from drowning already this season compared to only two last year).
The Na Pali coast was magnificent and Captain provided running commentary along its entire length.
I appreciated the crew's expressed concern for the sanctity of the various tribal communities, their traditions and their sacred areas. Respect for the land and the peoples was very present.
The beauty of the island areas cannot be express fully in a few words. The magnificence of God's Creation and what He has done in this part of the world is fully expressed. Enjoy it if you get the chance. Reverence it when you do. Leave it better than when you came. Celebrate it to the fullest.

Overall great experience. Lively, friendly, knowledgeable captain and crew made the tour very enjoyable. The ride along the Na Pali coast was absolutely stunning, and we were treated to plenty of whale sightings – dolphins even came and swam alongside the boat, which was magical! Snorkeling was fun, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the ice-cold beers were a nice refreshment after snorkeling. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kauai!

We had a four hour catamaran trip to the Na Pali coast of Kauai. It was all inclusive (food and drinks, including beer and cocktails). The trip was great. Nice boat with a good crew. The day we went it was quite windy, and the seas a little rough, but it was fun. We saw quite a few whales. The scenery was spectacular, and we were able to take in a great sunset, with a champagne toast. I would highly recommend this tour.

The trip was wonderful, the staff and food was great. They could have had a better beer selection. Setting up the trip through Viator was definitely sub-par: for example, the email from Viator indicated that we did not need printed vouchers, when in fact we did.

A great chance to see the island with a birds eye view and see mountain regions you are unable to reach by car. Well worth the time it takes as the pilot informs you of each differing parts of the island. The plane could do with some extra cushions on the seats for fatties like me other than that very very enjoyable flight.

The view is great and the captain and the whole crew wanted to please. Since I do not know anything about the nautical aspect of this I cannot say if we were in rough water that was enhanced by the captain's desire for adventure or not. If you know you get motion sickness don't do it without heavy medication because this trip from what I experienced can be rough. Even though they warn you it can be dangerous, one passenger who was holding on while standing which we must do, was knocked to his feet slamming onto the boat floor. I am giving this a 3 star because if you are really prepared it is worth doing.
