We enjoyed the large catamaran. It had plenty of room to move around not crowded. Staff was super attentive and sandwich chips and drinks were perfect for the ride back. They have noodles and life vest for those wanting to swim or snorkel.

Captain Kauai and Crew were great! Captain Kauai told many Hawaiian stories and tales as well as any historical facts about the Island. The crew were all friendly and hospitable and made the experience wonderful. Of course the scenery was beautiful. Highly recommend.

Awesome and beautiful Napali Coast. The staff and captain were outstanding. Capt Kauai and staff Liz, Colton and George were very helpful and Nice. Liz helped me a lot and very attentive since I got so sick with motion sickness and she was by my side and was very supportive. Thank you Liz from the bottom of my heart!! This crew is simply the best — excellent breakfast and lunch and mai tai drinks. My husband enjoyed all of it while I did too until I got sick halfway through the tour. ♥️🥂🌸🙏

This was my favorite things my sister and I did in all of Hawaii! The crew was fun and knowledgeable and absolutely a joy to interact with! We saw many dolphins, some whales, and sooooo many fish snorkeling … and that was before we even got to one of the most gorgeous coastlines in the world! Could not recommend this charter company enough: plentiful drinks, food, and space on board 😁

The entire crew was exceptional. Our captain gave us some great history about the coast line and had a trained eye for spotting a variety of sea life. Snorkel was fantastic - amazing variety of fish and plenty of sea turtles.

Incredible experience with an incredible crew. Captain Greg was clear with his instructions and did a great job explaining the sights. His staff was friendly and checked in on us multiple times with drinks and snacks. The ride wasn’t too bumpy in the morning but when docked for snorkeling sea sickness can kick in (they sell medication at the check-in counter). Overall 10/10 experience!

Amazing experience! Must have seen 100 dolphins and at least 10 whales on our tour. Apparently pretty rare to see whales this late in the season as well. Staff were friendly. Just wished we had snorkeled more than just in the morning.

The morning trip on the Lucky Lady was one of the best outings we have wver done. Captains Greg and Dawn and the whole crew were great throughout- very attentive and available with drinks, snacks or advice. The scenery is the real star of the show. We had perfect weather with sunny blue skies, white puffy clouds and crystal clear water. The cliffs/mountains along the coast have to be seen to be believed- just stunning. The snorkelling was fun but the highlight is the coastline. We saw dolphins and a sea turtle on our way up the coast which was awesome. 5 stars to Kauai sea tours!

Best tour I’ve been on in Hawaii. The Nepali coast was spectacular, of course, but we also got to see tons of wildlife dolphins turtles and whales. The captain was extremely skilled and allowed time for us to look at the wildlife. The crew was also very knowledgeable and helpful.
