This trip was so fun it should be illegal. My favorite part of the adventure was bouncing over and through the waves as Captain Kay Kay cranked up the music and powered on in confidence. I wouldn't have traded our little raft for any other boat! Thank you Captain Kay Kay for your gift of joyful and adventrous Aloha.
KK and Hailey were great captains and guides! Highly recommended, it was educational but also adventurous. My family said it was the best excursion they have EVER been on! The dolphins, snorkeling and the beauty of the coast made it all worth it.
Sounds like everything went great, we appreciate the high recommendations!
Great experience! It definitely is an adventure and a challenge if the water gets rough, but well worth it. I was sore the next day so I definitely would recommend doing it before a rest day. Our captain, KK, made the trip fun, gave us lots of history, and has great taste in music. You will not regret this amazing experience.
We're glad to hear you had a fun filled day! There usually are no regrets!
Highlight of our trip. We sat in the front of the boat and it was an EXPERIENCE! Very exciting! Throughout the trip we saw amazing sights - beautiful landscapes, caves, dolphins, turtles, etc. The snorkeling was perfect, calm clear waters. I get seasick normally but was fine on this trip. Our captain (Captain KK) was wonderful. Also, her playlists were impeccable (and I wish i asked if she could share a link to it 🤣). Highly recommend.
We're glad to hear you had a memorable day! Mahalo for joining us!
Beautiful scenery and great explanations about Hawaiian history. The ride back is rough against the trade winds, but Duff was a great captain and Hailey (crew) were amazing!
Thank you for sharing Darcy
The experience was amazing! My daughter and I enjoyed the thrill of the bumpy, fast ride. The views were not disappointing at all. Everything was so beautiful it seemed unreal. Both hosts Ilikai and kk were so fun and amazing, we loved their energy. I highly recommend booking with them!
Great to hear you had a fun time! Mahalo for joining us!
This was awesome and SUCH an adventure! If you’re looking for something a little crazy and adventurous, this is the activity for you. I will say, this was waaaaay more thrill-seeking than I thought, but in the best way. Captain Paul and Josh were so fun and made the day awesome! The Na Pali coast was stunning and we saw seals, dolphins, and turtles along the way. This made our Kauai trip. 10/10 recommend.
Mahalo For the 10/10!
This was the highlight of our trip, and one of the coolest experiences we've ever done. Paul and Josh were fantastic- they were extremely skilled and qualified. It is definitely an adventurous ride, but we were in good hands! Don't underestimate the ocean swell- you will get wet, and will be sore the next day, but that is part of the fun! 100% worth it and truly an unforgettable experience if you're up for an adventure.
You have a fabulous attitude Danielle, and we love it! We're glad to hear you had fun. We appreciate the kind words - safe, fun, adventure, get wet!
KK and her partner were great! It was an awesome day and experience… do it!!! It’s so worth it! I will recommend this to anyone that wants to go see the Nepali coast line
Awesome Janis - yes, JUST DO IT!
Incredible experience that allows you to really take in the Napali coast. Sitting near the back of the boat, kept me from getting seasick. My stomach is easily irritated by motion. Bring plenty of sunscreen and A rain jacket if the weather is rainy. Everything else is taken care of.
Thank you Tori. Yes, we also recommend a preventative to help you from feeling sick.
