The best part was the dolphins. The crew was very friendly and informative. Ocean was a bit rough on the way back but the boat handled it well. Great experience and we would highly recommend it.
Took my older parents to see the Na Pali coast with Captain Duff, crews Aaron and Kalani. Had a lot of fun. We saw dolphins, rays, and sea turtles. Special thanks to Kalani for being patient with my mom. Ocean was choppy on way back. No one got sick. Very enjoyable trip.
We're so happy everyone had a great time
Great experience!! The best thing we did in Hawaii - loved by all family members. The crew was great, helpful and fun. The views were amazing. The snorkling visual was mediocre, but you don't do a Napali trip for snorkling. Its mainly about the coast views and boat ride which we loved. This company is well run. They took us to all the great views, through a cave and close to waterfalls. I highly recommend them.
Sounds wonderful!
Love this boats and the young guys are very nice. The boat is very new and more safety that other boats.
Thank you!
The staff is attentive, the captain is super professional, and the experience is unforgettable. I loved my excursion!
Mahalo!
Knowledgeable crew and very friendly. Captain Gary drove a great trip with very choppy conditions out at sea. Great epic scenery on the Napali Coast
Thank you
I really enjoyed this experience. The scenery was fantastic and amazingly beautiful. We saw a bunch of dolphins ❤️❤️❤️. Me and my husband had a great time. The crew was friendly and so accommodating. The only thing I will say is be mindful that this tour is very bumpy bc of waves.
Thank you Brenda. We appreciate your review and honesty
The title says it all. The crew combined with the most unique scenery makes for an unforgettable day.
Mahalo!
Amazing experience! A must do adventure while on beautiful Kauai. Captain Jack shared an on point history of the Hawaiian ancestral grounds we saw and areas of the island you would miss if just driving, hiking, or touring by air. Super fun experience riding, snorkeling, and chatting with his crew. Memorable from start to finish.
We’re glad you enjoyed the excursion - it really is very special. Mahalo for joining us
We signed up for this tour because of the access to the Na Pali coastline and snorkeling. The week we went to Kaua'i, there was a high pressure in the North Pacific, kicking up some strong trade winds. So, the snorkeling was meh. But, the coastline of the Na Pali coast was so beautiful. We even got a bit of sun to highlight the cathedrals. The crew, Kai and Aaron, plus Josh the captain were great, attentive, and helpful throughout the trip. Even the little things like locking the bathroom door as we stumbled back to our seat because of the rough waters, was noticed and appreciated! Plus, keeping our Mai Tais topped up was fantastic!!
We're glad to hear that everything was so enjoyable Mercy! Mahalo for sharing with us
