This was a great experience

5.00We had an amazing time with Napali Experience visiting the Napali coast today with Chellen and Casey. We were lucky to see a pair of whales late in the season and tons of dolphins at multiple times. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly and considerate, especially with all the kids on board. While the sea was particularly choppy, it was definitely a can’t-miss experience when visiting Kauai. Would highly recommend this tour company!
A must do while in Kauai!!

5.00Amazing morning under Chelen’s and Casey’s care … we were awed by the majesty of the Na Pali coast and greatly entertained by the playfulness of the spinner dolphin, which our hosts added to with commentary that was both informative and inspiring. Highlight of our stay in Kaua’i … well worth the money!
A wonderful trip in a magical place

5.00This was an amazing trip. The guides, Daniel and Keoni were great- knowledgeable and funny, personable and friendly. The snacks were delicious. But the best part was what we saw- just breath-taking views of cliffsides, sea caves, the cathedrals, spinner dolphins, seals and the best- a mother humpback and her newborn calf just hanging out. There are bathrooms at the start- the ones in the building farther away have more than one stall, the first one you come upon has only one. Otherwise, you'll have to pee in the sea. The bow of the boat is definitely quite bumpy, even jarring at times, so heed the warning they give you if that's not something you enjoy. Personally, I loved it. If you wear a hat, make sure it has something to attach it to you like a string. I was too afraid to use my phone to take pictures, so investing in a strap or other device to make sure it doesn't end up in the drink can be a good idea, though no one lost their phone on our trip. I do recommend the dramamine (or other medication) for people who experience motion sickness. It worked wonders for me.
Perfect Day on the Na Pali Coast

5.00What an incredible tour with Na Pali Experience! Chellen and KC were absolutely fantastic - so knowledgeable and engaging, sharing fascinating details about every cave and waterfall we explored. As an added bonus, we spotted dolphins and even a few humpback whales along the way. Truly an unforgettable experience - we had the best time!
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Amazing! I went with 3 other adults on the boat for a once in a lifetime experience to view the coast. Our captain (Daniel) had excellent comic delivery, very informative of tapography, wildlife, history, and still was clear on expectations for safety. His deckhand (Keoni) was also super friendly, checked on us regularly, and also quite knowledgable. We also had a great, chill group of just chatty enough people who shared the boat amicably. We saw sea caved, cliffs, dolphins, whales! All we could’ve wanted.
Five Stars!!!

5.00Chellen and Casey were consummate professionals and showed us a great time. The ride was about 4 hours long and included great views of the Na Pali Coast - occasionally getting up close to see the sea caves - with added info about each sight along the way. Conditions were not conducive to snorkeling, but we were able to do a short stop for swimming and snacks. We even got lucky and saw dolphins and whales as well.
