Ni'ihau is the least developed of the populated Hawaii islands.

Known as the "Forbidden Island" and located at the north-west end of the island chain, Ni'ihau is part of Kauai County. The entire island is privately-owned and cannot be visited without express invitation from one of the 160 inhabitants.

Niihau is the smallest island of the seven major islands in the Hawaiian chain is located 18 miles off the coast of Kauai and stretches to 23 miles long and 3 to 6 miles in width. It is a very low lying island raising to a height of only 500 ft and as such draws very little water from passing clouds. Whereas neighboring Kauai has the wettest spot on earth with a rainfall of 420 inches a year the lower Niihau only averages about 12 inches a year.

Because of the near drought conditions which have always existed on Niihau it has never been able to sustain a huge population and its population today stands at about 160. The island has been privately owned since the mid eighteen hundreds and almost all of the inhabitants are 100% Hawaiian. Children are raised on the island to speak fluent Hawaiian and in many ways the island of Niihau remains the most Hawaiian island of all.

The Robinson family are decedents of Elizabeth Sinclair, who purchased the island from King Kamehameha V in 1864. The Robinson family run a cattle ranch and employ the majority of the population. Hawaiian is still spoken as the primary language and there is no electrical or plumbing infrastructure, the inhabitants preferring to live in the traditional Hawaiian manner.

During WWII, a Japanese pilot ditched his plane on Ni'ihau after attacking Pearl Harbor and took the village of Pu'uwai hostage until the occupants captured him. what is called the "Battle of Pu'uwai."

While there are no hotels or amenities of any kind, the residents do allow helicopter tours, snorkeling and diving along the cost.

Here are the best tours and activities available in Niihau:

Blue Dolphin - for an adventure aboard the new 63 foot catamaran, "Blue Dolphin", the legendary 56 foot trimaran, "Tropic Bird" or their new addition a 27' Raft "The Willard" for 20 pax. They offer fresh water showers, and clean spacious bathrooms for both men and women. Whether you are young or old, non swimmer or a salty ocean veteran, they provide fun activities and all the gear for every level of passenger.

Holo Holo Charters - is a family owned and operated company. Both of its vessels were built on Kauai by the owner of HoloHolo Charters, Kevin Millett. In 1988 the Milletts sailed from California to Maui where he was hired to build the Trilogy III. Understanding the demand for a truly world class touring company on Kauai, Kevin and his wife Marcie Millett have created HoloHolo Charters. In 1990 the Milletts moved to Kauai where they established their own business. Multi's by Millett was begun; today it is regarded as one of Hawaii's premier multi-hull design and boat building businesses. The company first built "Leila" in 1992 on Kauai. After building several multihulls, Kevin saw an opportunity in 1997 to establish his own tour company. He designed and built the 61' motor catamaran "HoloHolo". In 2002 the "Northwind" a 42' monohull, designed after a Navy Reconnaissance boat was purchased and a new, shorter trip of the NaPali Coast was offered and can take passengers from 2 years and up.

Rainbow Runner - a 42' Performance Sailing Trimaran can accommodate up to 22 passengers on Private Sailing trips of your choice.

Niihau Discount Tours and Ni'ihau Discount Activities - Of all the Hawaiian Islands, perhaps Niihau is the island most shrouded in mystery. It is Hawaii’s only privately owned island and has only approximately 160 inhabitants. It is also the only island whose people still speak Hawaiian as their principal language. Although visitors are not allowed directly on the island you can still visit the beautiful waters along its shoreline for a day of snorkeling and take a glimpse from the sea of the most Hawaiian island of all.
