Captain Jake & RJ were amazing guides and took us on a fabulous trip! They gave us a ton of insight, culture, history, and laughs. Loved snorkeling and seeing dolphins and eagle rays! Of course, the coast was just stunning! Definitely a highlight of our trip.
Daniel and Keoni were incredible! Knowledgeable about Hawaii history, hospitable at every turn, and skilled on the boat. Explained everything in detail and we felt safe the entire time and had thr experience of a lifetime! Saw marine life and caves, snorkeled, and enjoyed a wonderful day we will never forget. Highly recommend!
Seana and Jane were a fabulous team. They made us feel safe and welcome and were so knowledgable about the area. I loved hearing the stories about the local region and culture. They made sure we saw all the caves, marine life and went snorkeling. After the tour, they sent tons of recommendations on restaraunts around the island and more information on the coast line. I would absolutely recommend them and take their tour again.
An absolutely incredible experience! The weather & seas were cooperative, so we were able to enter all of the sea caves of Na Pali! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable regarding the rich history of Kauai. We stayed on the west side, so this excursion leaves from the Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor in Kekaha - a much more convenient choice than driving to the North Shore.
Such a great experience!! Lynn was very kind at check in and a very knowledgeable tour guide. She made sure to include things that would have been of interest to each individual on the tour. Captain Jackie was wonderful. She was able to find dolphins starting and ending the tour. She expertly maneuvered the boat into the caves for an unforgettable experience.
Aloha, Mahalo for the wonderful review! We are so happy to hear you had such a great experience with Lynn and Captain Jackie. It is awesome that you were able to see dolphins at both the beginning and end of your tour, and that Captain Jackie could safely take you into the sea caves for such an unforgettable adventure. We will be sure to pass along your kind words to both of them. We hope to welcome you back for another Nā Pali adventure soon! Mahalo!
This Nā Pali Coast boat tour was absolutely AMAZING! From start to finish, everything exceeded my expectations. The boat was excellent, and the crew was always there to help. They were incredibly friendly, informative, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had the best experience possible. The snorkeling stop was AMAZING and is an absolute must-do if you’re comfortable swimming. The water was unbelievably clear, some of the clearest I’ve ever seen. It was stunning. Then came the highlight of the tour: reaching the towering Nā Pali Coast cliffs. Standing beneath those breathtaking 4,000-foot cliffs was a surreal experience that photos simply can’t capture. The crew also showed us several fun optical illusions in the cliffs, which made the experience even more memorable. I very, very, very highly recommend this tour. If you’re visiting Kauai, don’t miss it, it was one of the most unforgettable experiences of my trip.
Aloha, We are so happy to hear your Nā Pali adventure exceeded your expectations from start to finish. From the crystal clear snorkeling to standing beneath those incredible cliffs, it truly is an experience that's hard to put into words. We're so glad our crew helped make your day even more memorable by sharing their knowledge and a few of the fun optical illusions along the way. We appreciate you choosing Na Pali Experience and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure the next time you're on Kauaʻi. Mahalo for joining us, Liz

I went on the tour with my husband and 2 kids, ages 10 &11 and we all had a blast! Jane and Sheana made the ride a memorable experience of a lifetime. We enjoyed seeing dolphins, turtles, caves, and of course the amazing sites of the cliffs….and their playlist along the way was supreme!
Aloha Jocelyn, Mahalo for sharing your experience! We are so happy to hear your family had such a memorable day on the water with Jane and Sheana. Seeing dolphins, turtles, sea caves, and the breathtaking Nā Pali cliffs makes for an unforgettable adventure, and we're glad their playlist was the perfect soundtrack for the day! We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome your family back for another adventure the next time you're on Kauaʻi. Mahalo!
Can’t beat it! These guys have the right boats, the right skills, and genuine attention to going that extra step. Chellin ans KC made what was going to be a good cruise great. When we encountered a pod of dolphins, KC grabbed our go pro camera when the dolphins got close and stuck it under water and got a great video of them swimming all about. My wife was a little sea sick by mid ride and they got her through it while salvaging her pride.
Aloha, Mahalo for joining us! We are so glad to hear Chellin and KC helped make your tour such a memorable one. It sounds like the dolphins put on an incredible show, and we're happy KC was able to capture that special moment on your GoPro. We're also glad our crew could help your wife feel more comfortable so she could continue enjoying the adventure. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you both back for another Nā Pali adventure soon! Mahalo, Liz
