Private Charter
Join us on our exclusive and private four-hour “Holo Holo” excursion. Holo Holo is Hawaiian for a cruise which brings pleasure. This excursion is built exclusively for those who want a unique experience that is customizable and goes above and beyond a standard pleasure cruise.
You will begin your journey with meeting your Captain for a one-on-one conversation. You and your Captain create a custom adventure that suites your entire party. Your knowledgeable Captain will provide you with ideas and recommendations based on ocean conditions and seasonal highlights. This excursion can be designed with a little bit of this or a whole lot of that. You set the pace of the tour!

Do you want to swim with Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins? We know the best spots!

We look forward to helping you and your family make your Big Island visit and time on the water an event that you will talk about for years to come.
(*Please note that snorkeling with the dolphin is time sensitive. We only have a little time in the morning to snorkel with the dolphin before they settle into their rest state. Therefore, it is a good idea to get out on the water early for this adventure. Please keep this in mind when planning your adventure. If your desire is to snorkel with the dolphin, we recommend a start time of 7:30 am. We do not offer a dolphin guarantee on private charters.)
