The crew was wonderful! So friendly, knowledgeable and safety conscious without killing the fun. The food was surprisingly good, especially the cookies!
This was a great experience and the crew were fun, funny and hospitable. We had a good tome snorkeling and seeing the coast. The only thinb I would caution folks, nothing against the company at all, is that if you are not sure about the water or your ability to ride the waves, think about it because its 5 hours 😂 But if you go sit in front for best experience!!
Thank you for the kind words and the good advise - this is a full day of 4-5 hours!
The crew was the best part which says a lot because the mountains and snorkeling were amazing. Crew was so fun and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about Hawaiian history and culture. Would recommend 11/10
11/10 - so awesome - Mahalo!
The captain was informative and experienced. He took us through the waves and to Na Pali. He shared the rich history of the area—good music to Na Pali. Even better music coming back. The crew was very attentive to snacks, meals, and drinks. Note: There is drawer to keep dry cloth above the ground. The ship had good grippy floor to walk bare foot.
Thank you very much for the kind review
Loved every minute of it! Comfy ride, amazing views, knowledgable and friendly staff that care of the history and lore of the island. We saw tons of dolphins, but not much snorkeling.
Thank you Aaron - we're very glad you joined us!
This was soooo fun! Great crew, beautiful sights, beautiful clear water snorkeling. Got to see a turtle. I would highly recommend!
Awesome Stephanie - thank you very much
If you want a fun and exciting tour of the Na Pali Coast take this tour. Captain Josh is native to Kauai and is very knowledgeable and funny. His crew, Lot, Aaron and Kalani were fun and attentive. This boat can handle the waves and we were able to go under one of the waterfalls and into one of the caves. We saw turtles and were blessed with spinner dolphins right before sunset. The coast was stunning. Good music and food. Highly recommend.
Sounds great. Thank you for the kind review! We appreciate you choosing KST!
Was an amazing time! The Captain and crew were helpful and fun to be around. I would definitely do it again
