Our family of six had a fun and memorable experience on the Napali Coast cruise and snorkel. We highly recommend this trip, and here’s a few reasons why. First, the crew (Captain Kelly, Coral, and Mason) were professional, engaging, and fun. The boat, “Laila,” was big enough for all guests so it didn’t feel too cramped. The food was solid, and the after snorkeling beers hit the spot! The scenery was so inspiring and the interpretation about the history of the area was a nice touch. While the snorkeling was not as good as other beaches on Kauai or other snorkeling beaches on the other islands, it was nice (requisite sea turtle spotted). Of course, as soon as we all came out of the water two monk seals showed up and started playing around and swimming close to the boat. That was so cool! We all took bonine before the trip to help with any nausea issues. While one of our kids felt sick, she didn’t get sick. And there were plenty of white caps throughout the cruise, which made for a very lively trip!
Mahalo for such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy your family had a fun and memorable time with Captain Kelly, Coral, and Mason aboard Leila. It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the food, scenery and those amazing monk seal sightings! Great call taking motion sickness medication ahead of time, that really helps guests stay comfortable when the seas are lively. Thank you again for joining us and saying “YES!” to adventure! Mahalo & Aloha
Just amazing adventure and sightseeing. The captain and crew were exceptional guides and plenty of humor
Captain Kelly, Luke, & Mason were all AMAZING!!!!!!! We couldn’t go snorkeling due to the water conditions but honestly you didn’t feel like you missed out. They slowed down and followed wildlife so we could see them, got up close to the rocks and even got us to a waterfall to be under! Truly an amazing experience. The waves were rough and some people were sea sick and these 3 handled it so well, were so gracious to those people, and we could not have asked for better guides. Would recommend this tour because even if the conditions don’t allow snorkeling that day you won’t even miss it! 10/10 recommend.
You've got us smiling! We are elated to know what a great time you had and love the details you've shared about your adventure with us! We hope to see you again soon! Mahalo and Aloha
Our family did the catamaran snorkel tour and Jess our captain and her team - Coral and Mason - were excellent. This team made sure everyone was informed, felt safe and they taught us about our surroundings. The service truly was thoughtful and attentive. The food and drinks were good and plentiful. They were also super sweet and attentive to those experiencing motion sickness on the boat. Seeing this stunning coast from the water is something we will never forget. Overall fantastic experience.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad your family had a memorable experience with Jess, Coral, and Mason. We'll be sure to share your kind words with them. Providing a safe, informative, and attentive experience is our goal, and we're thrilled you enjoyed the stunning coastline, food, and service. Mahalo for joining us! Mahalo and Aloha
Most excellent way to explore the majestic Na Pali coast. Snorkeling was great fun. Felt safe and cared for by Captain Kelly and her attentive crew!
Capt Kelly, Jasmine, and Coral were great. The Cruise and snorkeling were so much fun! We saw so much-- dolphins, waterfalls, caves, and beautiful cliffs of Na Pali coast. We felt safe but also had freedom to be adventurous!
Capt gave fair warning about risks related to weather and the weather turned out great! Good food, crew was informative and helpful.
Kelly, our captain was awesome. Excellent tour and so much fun snorkeling and seeing dolphins, whales. turtles and a bunch of fish.
Crew was awesome and experts about the area. Boat was clean and food was good. The vaping people were annoying.
What an amazing trip! The captain and his crew were so much fun and very entertaining! We got to snorkel and we even had light showers but was awesome. 10/10 would do it again with same crew!
