If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely can't miss seeing the stunning NaPali Coast. We offer a one-of-a-kind experience to do just that. As a Native family-run company, we are very fortunate to have been right here at our shop for 200 years, gathering our family's documented history to share about the NaPali Coast. Our Captains and Crew would love to share their very own culture and history with you on our tours. You can choose from one of our four vessels for a more personal and comfortable 4.5 to 5-hour tour. Our vessels are just the right size to explore sea caves with comfort when the weather allows. We can't wait to have you on board!

    It was a spectacular tour. Great honeymoon experience. We saw many nice sites. We recommend going in the morning.

  • Poor communication, only there for the money not the travelers experience

    The company rescheduled our tour twice a few days prior to the trip. They also changed boats and harbor locations. We had to redo waivers each time so in total filled them out 3 times. They sent random texts that contained links that reverted back to Viator which still had our original time and harbor location. We ended up going to the wrong harbor location because we never got the updated harbor location after rescheduling multiple times, even being flexible by going for an 8:30am trip instead of doing a 2 pm. Changes in the trip were said to be due to 1. An emergency and 2. Not reaching a minimum # of ppl on a boat to sail. When we arrived 1 hr early and were second guessing we were at the wrong location, they would not pick up the phone until it was too late for us to get over to the right harbor. Once they realized on the phone that we were not at the right harbor they stated a manager would call us back and hung up. We never made our trip because we never had the correct harbor address and they refused to refund us. Overall very poor communication and terrible experience with this company.

    This excursion was the highlight of our 10 day vacation to the Hawaiian islands. First of all, the crew was amazing. They shared very interesting Kauai lore during the ride along the coast and kept us engaged and laughing the whole time. The boat ride was fun. A little bumpy at some spots, but that just added to the thrill. Captain Mike picked a great snorkeling spot and we saw sea turtles, rays, and tons of colorful fish. But the star of the tour was the Na Pali coast. The scenery was breath taking. We couldnt get enough of it. Every cliff, hidden beach, cave was more than words can describe. You just have to experience it for yourself and this tour is one of the best ways to do it. You will never regret it.
