We have done this boat trip with different providers three times. This is THE ONE. Excellent staff, informative and great mai tais. Just great trip. Comfortable new catamaran.
What a great experience. Our snorkeling trip was cancelled for the morning after Tropical Storm Lala passed through, so we were added to the sunset cruise. Although my teenage kids weren’t ready for the motion of the waves we all ended up enjoying the trip. An experience we will never forget!
Amazing experience - we saw 2 pods of spinner dolphins, a pod of bottlenose dolphins and sea turtles. Catamaran is very new and clean. Plenty of space aboard for everyone. Food was good - pastries and musubi for breakfast, teriyaki chicken skewers, salad, rice and tofu sauté for lunch. The team told us that food was catered from a local restaurant. Staff was outstanding. Genuinely friendly, provided great service. Would not hesitate to recommend.
I know this review is a little late, but I absolutely wanted to recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kauai! The views of the Nā Pali Coast were absolutely spectacular—truly some of the most breathtaking scenery we’ve ever seen. The snorkeling was fun, but my absolute favorite part was something I will never forget. Because of the time of year we went, we could actually hear the whales singing underwater while we were snorkeling! It was such an incredible, almost surreal experience. Being surrounded by the beauty of the Nā Pali Coast while listening to whales sing beneath the water was truly magical and something I’ll remember forever. Highly recommend this tour!
The crew was the best. They went above and beyond to make our trip special. Food and drinks were delicious. Views were spectacular. 100% recommend.
Thank you Molly - we appreciate the 100% recommendation! Thank you for joining us
This trip exceeded all expectations. Captain Kauai is a mast of his craft and can tell you so much about the history of the area as you are cruising it will bring the past alive. The crew was friendly and the food was good. My kids had the trio of a lifetime and said it was the best thing that they did on the island. If you are on Kauai, book this trip!
Thank you!
Chad,Jasmine and Erin were great! Captain Alisha is very informative also. Great tour and the boat in my opinion is the best out of all Napali Coast tour options. Plenty of seats and shade!!!
Thank you so much! We appreciate your kind words
My husband and I enjoyed this cruise very much. Captain Kauai and his crew were amazing. I feel bad that I don't remember the crews names. The Captain clearly knows the history of the Kauai and Hawaiian history. His delivery of the history was definitely interesting, heartfelt - clearly as a native, and it wasn't boring! We learned a great deal about Kauai. We appreciated him being available to visit with and talk to when we stopped to snorkel. The crew was always helpful, courteous, genuinely friendly, readily available and very efficient. The boat was not too crowded so it made the experience on board nice and relaxing. The length of the tour was perfect- not too short or too long of a day. For the meals we received, history we were told, the fun experience on board and off with the snorkeling, it was well worth the cost we paid. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who was going to Kauai.
Thank you so much for the high recommendation and for joining us! Great to hear you had a wonderful time.
This boat tour was an experience of a lifetime. I went with my husband and two teens. The Nepali coast is just a beautiful site to see and experience. We booked this luxury boat because I thought it would be less of a bumpy ride however because it was pretty windy that day it was still pretty bumpy so make sure if you do decide to go take some motion sickness medicine before hand. My husband got a little nauseous for about 40 minutes. I was good and so were the kids. Out captain was wonderful. She gave us enough information that was perfect and did not overdo it. The people working on the catamaran were amazing. I would do it again, but I would probably try the raft experience next time. I think any boat you choose for this experience would be a great one. We saw lots of spinner dolphins and that was really cool and then where they stopped for snorkeling was pretty amazing too. On this particular boat, there’s plenty of seating and shaded areas to sit, which was pretty awesome. Overall it was a great experience.
Thank you for the detailed description, we appreciate your kind words. We're glad to hear you had such a great experience. Giving the rigid hull rafts a try next time is a terrific idea! But remember, those can be a real work out! Either way, Mahalo for choosing KST!
We had a fantastic time with Captain Kauai and crew Jake, Jasmine, and Julian. Captain Kauai was exceptionally friendly, funny, and informative. They all truly made the experience memorable and enjoyable. The boat was so comfortable, clean and top notch. The service and boat was exceptional and felt luxurious. The views- truly amazing. Words do not do it justice. We also saw dolphins (!!) and sea turtles (!!). A side note, the weather wasn't ideal- very windy, meaning the boat ride got choppy. My wife, who gets very motion sick, got sick torwards the end, but the crew was extremely attentive and helped her feel better. We knew this was a possibility going into the experience and anyone who gets even a little motion sick should come prepared with medicine or reconsider this experience if you get very motion sick (one poor lady was sick from the get go). You're on a boat and relying on Mother Nature, after all. Also, because it was very windy, our snorkeling wasn't great. We had better visibility and saw more fish when we did shore snorkeling on other, less windy days. HOWEVER, even with the motion sickness and the less than ideal snorkeling experience, we still would rate this a 10/10. The captain, crew, the boat, the story telling and history, the service, the beautiful views, being out on the open ocean are memories we will have for a lifetime. Thank you!
Thank you very much for the detailed review. We appreciate you choosing KST!
