5.00Really fantastic! So professional and fun in every way. Our crew (Lance and Nick) were so knowledgeable, shared so much history, the wildlife and so much of the world around us on the coast. We saw dolphins, many birds with great explanations of each specie. Safety always for everything in navigating the boat. Great lunch. Most of all, if experiencing the NaPali Coast is important in your travel plans on Kauai ,it does not get better. We can’t say enough about we experienced. A big shout out to the support staff- Justin, Lexie and Makoa.

5.00We had an amazing experience with Captain Gregg and Caleb. They were both so informative and hilarious. The Napali coast is just gorgeous and I’d experienced it before but with their knowledge and insight — it was a completely different experience. Important to note they are both born and raised on Kauai — not just a big company owned by a hotel chain. You can tell they know the islands and water like the back of their hand. We were able to see whales, dolphins, waterfalls — couldn’t have been better and my 5, 8 and 9 year old are still talking about it!! Highly recommend!
Do not pass this tour up!

5.00Captain Greg and Caleb hosted us and it was an unforgettable day. The NaPali coast is breathtaking. We heard unique stories about the island from Captain Greg, who is a lifelong resident of Kauai. The weather was perfect, we saw humpback whales, sea turtles, spinner dolphins and no shortage of amazing views. We stopped off for a little snorkeling near the reef where we were next to different types of fish, giant sea turtles and resting white tip reef sharks. The reef sharks were harmless and wanted nothing to do with humans- so don’t worry. The boat was very nice, with a bow to hang out on, the seats were comfortable fabric to sit on (as opposed to hard plastic seats ) there was a nice cover to protect from sun as well. This tour was the highlight of our trip and I highly recommend to anyone looking for this type of adventure.
Great activity

5.00Greg was extremely knowledgeable about boating, the islands history and just a great nice tour guide. He gave a great history of the islands and showed up where we were on the map. Very detailed and informative. As well, just little travel tips and places to go
Amazing!

5.00We had an amazing experience with Captain Greg and his crew visiting the Na’Pali coast! They were very friendly and knowledgeable about Na’pali history. I am a person who loves to capture moments, and captain Gregg gave every family a chance to take pictures and enjoy some great historical sites for a few moments instead of rushing us. We also saw so many dolphins on our way! The site for snorkeling he picked was perfect, beautiful turquoise water! We were able to see so many fish and turtles! The entire experience from start to finish was amazing! Highly recommend Captain Gregg!
Great tour

5.00Greg is a very knowledgeable and captivating tour guide. He spotted many nautical critters, and educated us about Hawaiian history, and Polynesian culture. Additionally, the Napoli Coast is extraordinarily beautiful. We highly recommend this trip.
Great views!

Capt Greg is the BEST

5.00Captain Greg & First Mate Caleb were the ultimate professionals! The captains commentary & history conversation were entertaining & insightful- they are both native Hawaiians & treasure their history. We saw cliffs and turtles and whales and waterfalls and snorkeled in a quiet bay. Captain Greg manuvered into two caves- fantastic! The lunch came from Subway and hit the spot after a gun snorkel section. The four hour tour turned in to five after he took us to see some breaching whales. Highly, highly recommended!
Worth every penny
