4.00The weather was terrible. It rained for hours and poured right before we were to board the ship. We were allowed to cancel our trip, even though the boat went out. The conditions were awful. We appreciate this company giving us the opportunity to opt out and not charge us when the conditions were so poor.
So good

5.00Being able to see the NaPali coast is a one in a lifetime experience. The day we had was gorgeous and we were able to also see whales going to and coming from the coast.

1.00They cancelled for weather during perfectly sunny conditions. Cancelled 36 hours in advance “just in case”. Miserable
Worth the trip

5.00Great afternoon and sunset on the water. Dawn and crew did a wonderful job. We would definitely do this again.
Pick this tour if you plan on going to the Nepali coast!

5.00Where to begin! So perfect. Amazing animal visits and scenery. We got to see many dolphins, whales and birds. Captain Kauai and team were so attentive and kind. They went above and beyond to make sure we got a great history lesson, kept drinks in hand and took pictures for us! The Nepali Coast looked unreal. The other waterfalls and cliffs were a bonus. We did get pretty wet and wish we wore quick drying clothes. Recommend bringing a second pair of clothes. Overall worth it all.
Exciting and fun cruise

Napali Coast on the Lucky Lady

5.00Booking was very easy, directions and communications were very clear. We went on the afternoon trip and saw a group of dolphins and many whales. The crew was amazing and good very good also. You can’t bring your shoes so plan on being barefoot. You only get wet if you want to. Would recommend bringing a jacket and taking motion sickness meds just in case.
Best crew and stunning coastline
Dennis S,Mar 4, 2026
- Review from Viator
4.00Of course the Napali coast line was stunning. Of course seeing a pack of 7 or so humpback whales was magical. Of course watching dolphins play alongside our boat was fun. But without our fantastic crew (Gary, Dawn and Carlton), our experience would have felt less than right. They were in constant vigilance of our safety and ensured we were hydrated and fed. Someone on our tour wasn’t feeling well and they took the time to make sure their guest was ok before the tour continued. We had just arrived Kauai from Los Angeles the day before on a 6-hour flight so a 5.5 hour boat tour for me was just too long but not for the aquarius husband. The ride was rough in some areas but being able to experience the coastline made the roughness bearable. We got fairly wet but luckily we wore clothes that dried quickly
