Holo Holo Charters is the only company on Kauai certified by NOAA as Dolphin SMART, a voluntary program that promotes responsible marine life viewing. This consists of teaching our guests the importance of responsible viewing practices and ensuring we don’t disrupt the natural behaviors and activities of dolphins and other types of marine life. We recognize the importance of being stewards of the natural environment and strive to have minimal impact on the ecosystems that we utilize daily.

In 2018, we received the Ocean Friendly Restaurant certification. Many years ago, we accomplished our goal of removing single-use plastics. We also practice a commitment to use reusable dishes, flatware, and serving items instead of harmful plastics. Our menu includes locally sourced ingredients and island produce wherever possible.

Holo Holo Charters is also the only Kauai boat company that features certification from the Kauai-Made program. Kevin Millett, the founder of Holo Holo Charters, designed and built all four of our vessels on Kauai. He specifically designed these custom boats to navigate the challenging ocean conditions around Niihau and Kauai. We are proud to be locally owned and operated, and our store in Port Allen offers several Kauai-Made products available for purchase.

Aloha! Welcome to Holo Holo Charters! When we created Holo Holo Charters over 20 years ago, we had one idea in mind: to design custom high-quality boats on Kauai that could bring guests to some of the most beautiful and remote places on earth.

The knowledge of the ocean and weather conditions unique to Kauai has played a crucial role in all our tours and the way we build our vessels. We created our boats to manage the ever-changing ocean and weather conditions. Some days it’s like sailing on a lake and some days it feels like a Hawaiian roller coaster ride! Regardless of the weather, our capable vessels and experienced staff are here to ensure you have an adventure to remember.

Kauai offers enchanting and unique destinations only accessible by water, including the Napali Coast, Lehua Crater and the Hawaiian “Forbidden Island” of Niihau. Our passion for sailing and spending time on the water, coupled with our custom-built vessels, has truly allowed Holo Holo Charters to create a one-of-a-kind product that no other tour company can match.

We endeavor daily to be unconditionally the best by offering the most unique, memorable, and safest Kauai ocean experience available. Thank you for considering touring with us and we hope to see you and your family on the water soon!
