Holo Holo Charters is taking additional steps in our daily operations by cleaning, disinfecting, and updating protocols to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our guests and employees. Our policies adhere to the U.S. Coast Guard’s COVID-19 safety requirements, CDC recommendations, and local requirements.

Our commitment to you:

We have increased our cleaning and sanitization procedures onboard the vessels to exceed CDC guidelines, including physical cleaning with EPA-approved disinfectant. Additional hand sanitizer stations are available throughout our office and the vessels for your safety.
Frequent wipe-downs of high-touch common areas are performed in our office and onboard our vessels.
Holo Holo checks all employee temperatures daily. Any employee having a temperature of 100.4 degrees or higher will not be permitted to work to ensure the safety of our employees and guests. Each employee is required to pass a health screening before clocking in for their shift.
In accordance with local guidelines, Holo Holo tours are operating at reduced passenger capacity and will be limiting the number of people on all vessels to allow for social distancing.
All complimentary snorkeling gear (snorkel, mask, fins, and flotation devices), are cleaned and sanitized before and after every use, using protocols and products suggested by the CDC.
All onboard meals are served in accordance with state requirements.

Na Pali Catamaran
With a sleek and modern state-of-the-art design, Leila sets a leisurely pace under motor and is the fastest sailing catamaran on Kauai when purely under sail. Designed for level sailing with no more than 10 degrees of “heel”, you won’t be sailing sideways. See Na Pali Catamaran like you never seen before.

This 50-foot long and 28-foot wide motorized sailing catamaran provides ample space to move around and slips quickly and smoothly through the water. Leila is Coast Guard certified to take 45 passengers, but we won’t exceed 37 which leaves ample space to move around and enjoy the adventure.

Na Pali Catamaran amenities
There’s plenty of dry storage space in the protected cabin area, with seating inside and outside on both the stern and bow. Two heads (restrooms) are available in the hulls of each side of the vessel, accessible via a short staircase.

This is an adventure. Ocean conditions can vary and may turn rough at times. It may not be suitable for some folks (all physically challenged individuals are subject to captain’s discretion).
