Quick Details
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 suits your entire party. Your knowledgeable Captain will provide you with ideas and recommendations based on ocean conditions and seasonal highlights. This private boat charter excursion can be designed with a little bit of this or a whole lot of that. You set the pace of the tour!
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.
As mentioned, when you book a private boat charter aboard Dolphin Discoveries, you are ensuring a completely customized experience that is tailored to the desires of your group. There are few limits to what you will be able to explore along the Kona Coast, and even fewer limitations to the knowledge and experience that our captain and crew will pass along to you while aboard the vessel. From Hawaiian history and culture, to marine biology, there’s so much to discover!
On our other tours we boast about visiting two of Kona’s most popular snorkeling destinations and being able to create intimate encounters with some of the largest and smartest animals in the world. While you are relaxing above deck and soaking in the tropical UV rays, you may get to witness a humpback whale breach above the water, a sea turtle glide along the surface of the Pacific Ocean, or be entranced by a pod of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins if they choose to check out you and the boat itself.
The beauty of booking a private boat charter is the exclusivity and the world of choice that it opens up. On the other hand, there is intense excitement that comes with the unknown involved in boating around the Kona Coast– this is left to the surprise visits of our sea-faring friends or being able to explore hidden gems like Lava Tubes, lesser known reefs, and Hawaii’s Sea Caves.
If you are looking for a guaranteed experience of a lifetime in Kona, look no further than our Dolphin Discoveries Private Boat Charter. This pleasure cruise ensures you skip any lines, don’t get lost in the busy crowds of a Hawaiian snorkel or whale watching tour, and get an intimate and exciting day.
There’s no need to feel hesitant about booking your private boat charter with us! While the idea of a Hawaii Private Boat Charter may seem inaccessible, either out of budget or reserved for A-listers; we make sure that our Private Boat Charters offer the best deal– while not compromising on the luxury of the experience. Everyone should get the opportunity to explore the Hawaiian Islands, specifically the beautiful Kona Coastline, with their best friends and family. We want to give you that experience partnered with the opportunity of being able to get one-on-one time with our captain and crew, who will let you in on all the secrets and knowledge that comes with traversing the open waters.
