About

What better way to escape the crowds and get a healthy dose of vitamin sea than booking a private charter with Holoholo Kai. Enjoy the luxury of tailor making your experience exactly how you want it to be, without the limitations of a set itinerary or having to consider the wishes of others.

There are infinite ways to connect with the ocean. Perhaps a fast-paced underwater ocean adventure is your preference where we visit multiple secluded snorkel spots, exploring the unique underwater volcanic coastline, home to pristine coral reefs, vibrant with diverse tropical marine life such as reef fish, turtles (honu), octopus (he’e), eels (puhi) and sea-stars (Peʻa).

Or maybe you’re hoping for a more laid back adventure with a little time spent snorkeling as well lots of time aboard enjoying our island from the vantage point of our beautiful bay in the humbling magnificence of the 5 (yes, 5!) volcanoes that surround the Kawaihae Harbor, as your crew points out cultural and historical points of interest such as the remnants of a once bustling fishing community along the coastline, of which the remaining stone foundations of some of these ancient Hawaiian structures can still be seen dotted all along the lower slopes of the Kohala coast.

If ultimate relaxation is what you’re after – then sink back into our comfy cushioned seats and listen to our chill island-vibes playlist (or your own playlist) on our Bluetooth surround sound system as your captain takes you far North (where most other charters don’t venture), away from resorts and residences, to cruise the mostly untouched coastline of North Kohala. Along the way we will look for our resident pod of spinner dolphins (nai’a), pilot whales, and other sea-life. If you’re feeling a little too sun-kissed, we can cool off with a refreshing dip or two in the crystal clear waters along the Kohala coast.
