Jacky and Lynn were amazing! We did a tour with this company 10 years ago and it was just as good as we remembered. The captains made sure they found dolphins for us and when our youngest daughter wasn't feeling well, were quick with snacks and sprite.
Such an incredible afternoon on the water. Brian and Captain Jane were so good and communication and safety. We rode up the coast and stopped for snorkeling on the way back. With the coast we got to go inside a few of the ocean caves and that was really unique and fun. Then we got a great view of the cliffs in several spots, they stopped in front of the cathedrals and took pictures for everyone. After snorkeling, they had fresh cut pineapple and drinks and snacks for us to enjoy. They shared so many stories and quality information. Fantastic time!
Absolutely stellar work by Corbin and Casey this morning we had a blast Corbin’s navigating was unparalleled he handled some gross chop very well . Great team work between the two as well both extremely attentive to details and to each guest on the vessel simultaneously while managing weather conditions and wildlife we ran into a bunch of dolphins consistently , they navigated us into several caves flawlessly in less than ideal conditions so that we could all have a phenomenal experience and memories that will last a lifetime and most importantly they know when to call it wraps as weather looked like it was going to come in on us and make it less than pleasant for everyone coming from a Vegas limo driver the hospitality was 5 star the experience was 5 star and these guys actually got to know each of us on this trip well worth the money and experience I highly recommend this one !!!
GO! Do not debate this! The BEST if only your you will need in Kuwai! See the best of this island from a 16 passenger sea boat. Not for children or the faint hearted, but from a 75 yr old woman who was nervous about doing this trip, it was worth every cent. Our captain Corbin was informative, funny and willing to answer any questions. Bring a light rain jkt, surprisingly you will need it! Wonderful!
Jackson and Mauka were such an amazing crew, leading us on an adventure along the coast. Some of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.
The experience was incredible and the crew was hospitable.
Aloha, We are so happy to hear you had such a great time on tour with the crew. We love to hear it. Thank you for joining us!
Lynn and captain Jake we amazing. The views were incredible. We saw so many dolphins but not many fish or turtles while snorkeling
Aloha! Mahalo for joining us! Lynn and Captain Jake are an awesome duo, and we’re so glad the dolphins showed up in full force! The underwater crew may have been a little shy that day, but it sounds like Nā Pali still put on quite a show. Hope to see you again!
We cannot say enough glowing things about our experiences on the boat. Our family was 4 of the 13 passengers band our son and daughter 8/6 were the only children. Capt Jane and Seana were experts at handling boating novices. I was so impressed how seamlessly they worked together to manage the vessel , the passengers, and teach us about Hawaiian history, geography, geology as well all of the creatures. We saw schools of dolphins , sharks, snorkeled in a beautiful reef and had a perfect day. Unlike the catamaran. The boat and highly skilled women enable us to enter multiple sea caves and provide breathtaking views. They were warm and playful with our kids. Do yourself a favor and ask for Jane and Seana.
We absolutely love hearing how special Jane and Seana made the day for your whole family, especially your kids! Those two make an incredible team, and it sounds like you had one unforgettable adventure with dolphins, sea caves, snorkeling, and plenty of laughs along the way. Mahalo for trusting us with such a memorable family experience!
Captain Jake and first mate RJ were great - lots of great info on the history of Na Pali, sites, etc. We faced some tricky weather conditions, no sweat for Jake - handled with ease. Would highly recommend for anyone interested in seeing the Na Pali coast!
Jake and RJ sure know how to make an adventure out of whatever the ocean brings! So glad you enjoyed the history, incredible sights, and Jake’s smooth handling along the way. Mahalo for the recommendation and for exploring the Nā Pali with us!
It was a great tour . Captain Jane and Moki spelled incorrectly i am sure, they were awesome . So attentive . I had zero motion sickness because of their help
So happy you had such a great experience! We love to hear that Jane and Mauka took great care of you and helped keep the seasickness away. Sounds like a perfect day and a win all around!
