Super captain and crew, comfortable boat. Enjoyed the captain's narrative of the scenery and history. The young people who crewed the boat were so sweet, helpful and fun; they took such good care of us! The snack and meal were great. And what can beat that scenery!! I highly recommend this company!!

We took the "Kauai Sea Tours" Deluxe Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise aboard Lucky Lady yesterday and loved it. Such beautiful views, dolphins, whales, and informative captain. I cannot say whether it is "the best" but it was wonderful. Excellent crew, nice size catamaran, good food (with multiple meat and vegetarian options), all-around great experience. We got the best price through TripAdvisor, not on the Kauai Sea Tours web site. Weather is an important factor, as no sea cruise would be good if winds and waves are too high or there is heavy rain. Thanks to Captain Evan and excellent crew Chad, Sharie, and Micah!

It was good but felt too long, they could have shortened the duration of sailing! However the sceneries were fabulous, we lucked out and could see Dolphins, Tortoise and the Whales too!

We had a really amazing time. The views were unreal and the crew was super great. My husband did get a little sea sick on the way back in so he wasn’t able to have any food but I gave him some Dramamine and he was feeling better by the time we docked. The tacos I had were so good!! Just be prepared with Dramamine for anyone in your party who may get a little sea sick!

What an incredible way to view the Na'pali Coast!! Captain Kauai and his crew were amazing! They were personable, informative, and funny! The pride and respect they have for their Hawaiian heritage and culture was remarkable. We learned a lot from them. They were careful and cautious when we encountered rough water. At no time did we feel scared or in danger. The food and drinks were very good too!

It was a nightmare. The weather was extremely bad that day, as it was very wavy on the ocean. Half of the people on board were puking, and the crew was constantly changing the bucket for people to puke. An Asian girl was having a panic attack, where she was shaking, and said she couldn't breathe. Things were so desperate that it felt like a scene from the movie 2012. Also, not much to see due to the weather. They def should cancel it ahead of time rather than just give us a warning. A waste of my money, my time, and my energy. I suggested that everyone should not book this tour and keep the money.

It was legit magical. We saw dolphins, whales, and rainbows on the way to the Na Pali Coast. The wind and waves were an experience like a rollercoaster but on a boat (in a good way). The captain and crew were so patient and compassionate with the tourists who got seasick (but don't stress, if you can speed boat on a lake without getting seasick, you can do this without getting seasick). Must do.

We had been warned at the beginning that the water was a little rough and we were welcome to reschedule. We went anyway and didn’t regret it. Our crew was great. The view was amazing, but we were not dry when we got to the Na Pali coast. Great crew and a great experience. We would definitely do it again.

The company clearly doesn’t care about safety - we were a party of 8 with children as young as 3. The captain gave us an initial message that there will be 25 mph winds and 8-10 foot swells and that we were allowed to cancel if we’d like. The point being though, average people wouldn't know what that meant. At one point - when the waves were washing off the boat, i realized there were no life jackets given and at this point kids are crying, adults are throwing up. I just read other reviews from 2 days ago that people had the same experience - I would expect the captain to at least mention that you could fall sick. And on top of it - they wanted to "complete" the sunrise cruise because people wanted to. Of a crowd of 27 people 24 voted to go back early - clearly can't read the room. We're believing you that it's safe and unfortunately i've learnt the hard way that we cannot. Seeing dolphins and whales did not make up for the clear lack of important communication. When every other tour in Kauai said no - why are you saying yes.
