Captain J's was AWESOME....

Captain J's was AWESOME. The boat they have is great for the wake out there. Seated, yet still have a raft feel. Captain NoNo and his team were great - very attentive to providing non-alcoholic bevs and snacks. Wonderful views and overall very fun.

5 stars in every way

Couldn’t recommend this company more. Our crew (NoNo, Kenna, and Nohili) were so fantastic and we had every experience we were hoping for including great music, snorkeling, sea life (dolphins, turtles and fish), caves, history, great ride. It all exceeded our expectations and we loved it! Thank you to all at Captain J’s. Our family enjoyed every part of it thanks to all of you.

Company cancelled, not because of weather

We received multiple confirmation emails, even 24 hours before our tour. Then they cancelled LESS than 24 hours in advance because a "boat wasn't available." Don't send a confirmation email, then call an hour later and cancel! Weather is one thing, but this seems like a company mistake. Good thing we were able to book with another company.

Operator response

Aloha John, Again, we’re very sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience. Unfortunately, shortly after your confirmation email was sent, we discovered an unexpected mechanical issue with the boat that required us to cancel. We completely understand how frustrating a last-minute cancellation can be, especially when you’ve planned your day around the experience. Unfortunately, mechanical issues can arise without warning, and the safety of our guests and crew will always come first. We will never operate a vessel unless we are fully confident that it is safe and ready for the water. Mahalo Captain J's Team

Best Na Pali Coast Excursion

This was hands down the highlight of our Kauai trip! We are SO glad we chose this excursion! From the moment we stepped on the boat, Captains Nono and Mason made us feel like we were out on the water with old friends. They were hilarious, kind, caring, and incredibly attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable, having fun, and feeling safe throughout the entire 5-hour adventure. They shared so much fascinating history about the Na Pali Coast and the surrounding islands and areas, which made the incredible scenery even more meaningful. And the music?! 🎶 They kept the vibes going with an awesome playlist that had everyone smiling and enjoying the ride. We loved that it was a smaller boat with only about 17 people because it made the whole experience feel so much more personal and relaxed. They provided water and light snacks, which were perfect for keeping us fueled along the way. And one of our favorite moments was stopping to snorkel! 🐠🤿 While we were in the water exploring, Nono played the ukulele and sang for us from the boat. Seriously… how often do you get to snorkel in Kauai while listening to live ukulele music?! 🌺🎶 It was such a fun and magical touch that our family will never forget. Between the breathtaking Na Pali Coast, the snorkeling, the history, the music, and especially Captains Nono and Mason, this excursion was everything we hoped for and more! If you're visiting Kauai, DO NOT skip this experience. We would absolutely do it again in a heartbeat! 💙🌴🌊

Operator response

Aloha Melany, Mahalo so much for the amazing review! We’re thrilled your family had such a memorable adventure with Captain Nono and Mason. Nothing beats the Na Pali, good vibes, and a little live ukulele! We hope to have you back onboard again someday! Mahalo Captain J's Team
