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
Kristine L,Mar 4, 2026
- Review from Viator
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
Memorable Day in Kauai!

5.00What an amazing day! Captain Duffy showed us the amazing coast and provided historical and personal insights. The crew, Joshua, Elias, and Aela (sp.) , took great care of us. Their local knowledge (and great singing voices!) made the trip fun. As an added bonus, there were many whale sightings and Captain Duffy got us as close as permissible to witness these great creatures. A memorable day on our Kauai trip!
Excellent Crew, Great Drinks, Stunning Views!

5.00My wife and I had an amazing time on the Lucky Lady Na Pali sunset cruise. It was such a beautiful way to experience the coastline. Seeing the entire Na Pali Coast from the water was absolutely stunning. The boat cruise felt relaxed but still adventurous (with some big waves), and being out on the ocean added a completely different perspective compared to seeing it from land or air. The crew was fantastic — extremely friendly, attentive, and fun throughout the trip. They made excellent drinks, kept the atmosphere upbeat, and even took great photos for guests, which we really appreciated. It made the whole experience feel easy and special. The taco dinner was also surprisingly very good — fresh, flavorful, and more than we expected for a boat cruise meal. Overall, we would definitely recommend this activity to anyone visiting Kauai. It was a memorable, beautiful evening and a perfect way to take in the Na Pali Coast.

5.00Such an amazing cruise! The (all female) crew were amazing, keeping us safe, bringing us drinks, and taking our pictures. Super friendly. We saw a ton of glorious whale activity and the coast is something engine should see, so beautiful! The dinner was a tasty taco bar, before friendly as a plus.
Napoli Coast a must see in Kauai
Cherie F,Feb 28, 2026

5.00The crew of the Lucky Lady made this a great experience. Alyssa the captain was knowledgeable and fun. A good driver. I read many reviews about sea sickness. We were lucky and had a sunny calm day in February However even though the weather was great it was very rocky on the way back and Dramamine is advised. The crew were fabulous and we had everything we could need. We must have seen at least 10 humpbacks with three sets of mamma and baby. The Na pali Coast is one of the most spectacular sights you will ever see on this earth and far out weighs any tummy ache. we loved Chad one of the crew. Even when it was rocky staff would help you up and down the sta. The food and drinks were good too. Yummy taco bar. Lastly you end the day with a stunnsunset on the water. Several humpbacks were slapping their tails as we went by.
