This tour was cancelled, but we were upgraded to another cruise. Captain Even and his crew were wonderful as were the ladies at reception. All were very solicitous of the needs of guests. The Captain even helped us fix a flat after the cruse was over! Views were stunning, and the narrative was interesting. I would recommend this experience for everyone. However, you must be prepared for wind, waves and to get wet!

Best time ever!! Our group of four absolutely loved the energy on this boat and the crew was so accommodating and fun! Highly recommend for people who are looking for a good time and good energy. Not for the faint of heart because it was a bit rocky, but incredible experience!

Absolutely gorgeous views! Food was excellent and the captain and crew took excellent care of us. On the way back we did see 2 whale tails! Just an FYI for those that aren’t renting a car make sure you have transportation back because it is a very small town and we were unable to prebook a ride share on the same day. Due to remoteness ride shares are usually unavailable once you return from the sunset cruises. We were able to prebook a taxi but was quite expensive.

Great views, comfortable boat, wonderful crew. Highly recommend this tour. We just sat back and enjoyed the surroundings. This is a great tour for those who do not want to snorkel or swim. It was a little over 4 hours and perfect for us.

If you are in Kauai, you must do this tour. The coast is beyond spectacular! Our Captain, Duffy was great and the entire crew was accommodating and friendly!

Absolutely stunning view, interesting history and stories we got to hear and a captain who certainly knows how to ride the waves. We also saw some whales and the prettiest rainbows I’ve ever seen! It was a lot of fun! Thank you very much!! I would recommend a waterproof jacket as you do get wet and something warm to wear for the way back.

This was an amazing experience made better by a fantastic crew. The boat was clean and uncrowded with lots of space to spread out and see things. The captain did a great job pointing out natural, historic, and animal features as we cruised. I have never experienced a more attentive crew. They were constantly circulating to help with drinks, snacks, pictures, and additional information.
