Hurricane Lowell Update: Our Current Operations
Previous Update: Hurricane Lowell Operations – October 8, 2026
We’re happy to share that Holoholo Charters is preparing to welcome guests back on the water beginning October 15.
Following Hurricane Lowell’s impact on Kauaʻi on September 7–8, we moved up our annual vessel maintenance while our boats remained out of the water. Recent rainfall delayed some of this work, requiring temporary adjustments to our tour schedule. With the Port Allen launch ramp open and the necessary clearances in place, we’re looking forward to resuming tours.
Current Tour Status
Leila Tours
All Leila tours are canceled through October 17 due to annual vessel maintenance.
Holoholo Tours
All Holoholo tours are canceled through October 14 due to annual vessel maintenance.
From October 15–17, Holoholo will operate an alternate morning Nāpali Coast Snorkel Excursion.
October 18 onward | Regular Tour Schedule Expected to Resume
We anticipate returning to our regular tour offerings and departure times for both Holoholo and Leila, pending completion of maintenance.
Our team is contacting affected guests directly. Guests who booked through a third-party activity provider should continue working directly with the company through which they made their reservation.
We understand that changes to your plans can be disappointing, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we complete maintenance and prepare to welcome guests back aboard.
Office and Retail Store Hours
Our office and retail store are currently open 8:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. HST.
If you’d like to support Holoholo Charters during this time, you can start planning and book a future adventure, shop our retail collection online, or purchase a Holoholo Charters Gift Card for a future experience. Our gift cards never expire.

From all of us at Holoholo Charters, mahalo nui loa for your patience, encouragement, and continued support of our team and our Kauaʻi community.
