Top 5 Reasons a Boat Tour is Perfect for Families
We are big proponents of bonding outdoors, and what better place to create core memories with those closest to you than out on the open sea? The quality time aspect of boat tours makes it a fantastic option for families looking to connect through an intimate shared experience. Here are a few more reasons we have discovered hosting families on tour:
- SEE THE SIGHTS WITHOUT HITTING THE TRAIL
We are lucky enough to provide a gateway to Kauaʻi’s most iconic view–the Nāpali Coast. Although the 17-mile stretch of sculpted mountains, valleys, waterfalls, and grandeur can be seen from land, there is no better view (in our opinion) than from the Pacific Ocean. The panoramic views of the entirety of the coast are unmatched, and a day(s) long hike on the Kalalau Trail may not be in the cards for traveling families. Boat tours provide a different vantage point, shared only with those on board and marine life off the coast.
- CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE
The length of your boat experience will likely depend on the ages of your keiki. Thankfully, our Nāpali experiences can be tailored to those needs with a 7-hour adventure tour, a 5-hour adventure tour, and shorter sunset excursions. Younger families may test the waters with a shorter tour, while day-long excursions may be a better fit for older kids. Tailoring an experience to your family’s needs is what we do, so don’t hesitate to reach out to our reservations team with any questions on what might be the best fit for you.
- REAL-LIFE AQUARIUM
Enjoying marine life in their natural habitat is an incredible experience. Voyaging alongside spinner dolphins with albatrosses swooping overhead is just another day at the office for our crew, although it never gets old! Whale season brings the precious kohalā (humpback whale) back to Hawaiʻi each winter, and the rainbow of tropical fish and sea turtles are always waiting to be appreciated by snorkelers. As a sustainability-forward company, Holo Holo has taken steps to ensure the safety of our officemates by implementing best practices to keep the waters clean and the marine life undisturbed.
- KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Our boat captains provide a fun, safe, AND informative time out on the water. Families will learn about Hawaiian legends passed down from generation to generation while also learning more about marine life and Holo’s effort to interact with sea life in a respectful way. Environmental impacts lie at the forefront of Holo Holo’s business model, and the care we have for our sacred waters is very evident in the way we build and operate our vessels.
- HASSLE-FREE
Did someone say all-inclusive? The way we see it, the less gear you are responsible for, the better. It’s your time to relax and connect… and your only job should be to enjoy an unforgettable experience. On our tours, all safety and recreational gear comes with the boat. Snorkel gear, food, drinks, and floatation devices are all included. Although sunscreen isn’t necessarily included, we carry several reef-safe and ocean-friendly options available for purchase at check-in!
We can’t wait to create memories with you and your ʻohana. See you on board!
