What are Tuggers thoughts for the best (currently) Napali coast excursion from Hanalei area?
Next week - 4 adults - small to medium capacity boat.

We used NaPali Catamaran. They take out about 16 people and it is small enough to go into the sea cave if the waves are right. We have used them twice and enjoyed both trips.

We've used Napali Catamarans in the past for a basic snorkeling, go in some caves and enjoy the coast. It was a good tour for the money but the boat was not very comfortable.

Holo Holo is getting some of the best reviews, especially from some locals. They also have some discounts now.

Best of luck!

Did the Holoholo Adventure II out of Hanelei - it was superb - the seas were calm (low wind) - very professional. Hard bottle raft-style - seats 25 - two 225hp Yamaha. If it is going to be rough - might as well be fast about it IMO. May not be for everyone, but our party loved it (and 2 of them were anxious) $305/couple complete. They only do this in summer from the north (and for good reason). The snorkeling was weak, but all things considered...
Got excellent photos and videos.
