Clean boat, friendly crew and beautiful scenery. Snorkeling was fair. Reef did not have much to look at. Could be more organized with gear
Best crew ever

The office staff and boat crew are amazing. They were so accommodating and conscientious about everyone’s needs. Their knowledge of the island and Na pali coast was amazing and fun to learn. The views were amazing. They found animals for us to engage with and really had a great time with us! Captain Josh, A ARon, and Kai made my whole family feel welcomed and safe.
An enjoyable morning

Fun day. Great crew. Learned about Hawaii. Would recommend. The waves can be rough, but that would be expected no matter which company takes you out.
Crazy ride back

Nice boat, great crew, most beautiful scenery. Saw a huge group of spinner dolphins and captain let them entertain us. Bad part is ride back. Goes fast over big waves which was over an hour getting slammed with hard jolts. Captain does good job maneuvering around the biggest waves but would be more fun if boat slowed a bit and not so many body slams.
An amazing experience - be prepared if you get motion sick

We wanted to do a shorter tour as many in my family get motion sick and wanted to limit the experience because of this. The tour is stunning. Captain Paul and the crew were great. We saw dolphin, flying fish, snorkeled with a turtle, and the vistas of the Na Pali Coast is unlike any experience I've had in my lifetime. Know before you go - The tour company specifies it can be "rough" and they are not joking. I would not recommend this to anyone elderly who has any back problems. In October the sea was quite rough and for a main-lander like me I was glad we took Dramamine well ahead of the tour. I would qualify this tour as "adventure travel". If you are accustomed to open rough seas it may be no issue but if not be ready to hold on :D
Great crew

The captain and his team were warm, attentive and very professional. Throughout the tour, they passionately shared the history and culture of the island, making the trip even more rewarding. The snack served on board was delicious, and the drinks were offered at will, which was very appreciated. Along the way, we had the chance to observe several groups of free-ranging dolphins, a magical moment! A memorable outing that I highly recommend!
