Napoli Coast

The weather was absolutely perfect for our trip. The ocean was like a plate which they told us it was very unusual for May. The snorkeling was amazing we got to see turtles too. The staff was very knowledgeable, friendly, and very helpful. We really appreciated the safety procedure review.

LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Morning Snorkel Tour

Unfortunately the conditions were too rough to snorkel but we did get to travel along the Napali coast and go under waterfalls. The captain Kauai was so great and friendly. The crew Kim, Chance, and. Evan we’re on top of safety, cleanup, bringing out drinks and food, and making sure we had an awesome time! Definitely worth doing!

Na Pali Coast Super Raft Adventure

Such a fun and exciting way to see Na Pali Coast! Our captain Andy and crew mate Ryder were great. We learned a lot about the coast and Hawaiian history. We loved seeing the spinner dolphins and going snorkeling before the crowds got there. I’d definitely do this tour again. Highly recommend this tour over any others!!

Excellent Sunset Boat Tour!

LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Tour

This tour was beautiful and fun! The captain and crew on the boat were hospitable, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure passengers had a great time and learned about the area. The views of the Na Pali Coast were stunning and the boat was very comfortable with clean bathrooms. Food and drinks provided were delicious.

Breathtaking views of the Napali Coast with amazing crew/captain

Na Pali Coast Kauai Snorkel and Sail

The Napali coast is spectacular! The catamaran was a fun, great ride. It was a wonderful way to spend the day on this amazing tour. The breakfast and lunch were great and I have never been on a tour with such great service! The crew were very attentive and worked very hard to ensure everyone was taken care of. I would highly recommend this tour!

Excellent!!!

LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Snorkel Tour

Great crew and a fun trip! The snorkeling was not great but that was due to the water being churned up and low visibility. Na Pali coast view from a boat is a must if you go to Kauai! We also saw spinner dolphins and very rare whale breaches in May!!!

Fun time on boat but snorkel elsewhere

LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Morning Snorkel Tour

Great trip to see Na Pali coast. Captain Kauai and crew were very friendly, efficient, and professional. We had 6 ft swells which were a lot of fun, though a few people became sea sick. The snorkeling location was not great, it was too deep to see anything up close, except for some sea turtles. I still recommend it for the view of Na Pali coast and experience on the water.

Epic Adventure! HIGHLY recommend!

RAFT ADVENTURE - Na Pali 1/2 Day Snorkel

Our crew was the MOST fun! We had a total blast the entire time - easily one of the coolest things I've ever done on any of the Hawaiian islands. 100/10 recommend this tour to anyone. My crew was Shane and Gabe. They made the experience so enjoyable and definitely made us feel safe when the wind and waves got a little crazy! LOL pretty extreme boat ride in the wind, but it will definitely be a core memory. Will never forget the amazing views of the Na Pali coast.

Beautiful cruise

The Na Pali coast is a beautiful sight to see. The surf was to rough to snorkel but regardless we had an amazing time. The crew, captain and service were top notch!

LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Tour

The whole experience was the best time we've had on the island after being here for weeks. Captain Kauai and his staff definitely work together as a team to make sure everything runs perfectly from A to Z. They don't miss a beat with safety.

Exceptional Experience
