5.00The Napali Beach Landing with Captain Josh is out of this world. A once in a life time experience to be guided through an old Hawaiian fishing village — plus the Napali Coast is one of the most beautiful places in the world. You must do this excursion.
Great trip. Ren and Zach...

5.00Zach and Elias took us on an amazing adventure. The zodiac raft adventure with beach landing breakfast and snorkeling was the perfect combination of a land and sea experience. It was upbeat and enjoyed by all. We had a party of five with an eight year, 13 year old, two 50 year olds, and an 80 year old and everyone found the experience exciting and memorable. The caves and coast were ah inspiring and the history of the land helped deepen our understanding and appreciation for the culture. Captain Zach’s command of the sea made for an exhilarating ride. Zach was able to read all the passengers and assess an exciting ride was desired by all. He helped to increase the excitement while maintaining safety and comfort. His musical play list was designed to reflect each of the coastline’s we visited and engaged all the riders in singing and dancing across the waves!
Amazing adventure on the Ocean

5.00Paul, the raft captain, was a real charmer. He played some awesome music while we zipped over the waves. He was super knowledgeable about the history and culture of the coast. Emmy, the boat crew, was also super helpful and we had an amazing time together. The ocean can get a bit rough, so it’s a good idea to take Dramamine before the tour. But don’t worry, they take care of things and will do whatever they can to make sure you have a great time. And the snorkeling spot was incredible! We saw so many colorful fish in the reefs. It was an experience we’ll never forget! We saw turtles, numerous schools of dolphins during the trip.
Core memories made!

5.00Our family of four (kids age 11 and 13) had an amazing time with Captain Ren and Guide Zack. This tour was highly adventurous and also incredibly respectful of Native Hawaiian culture. We all enjoyed learning about the history of Kauai and the ancient Hawaiians who thrived on this island. The views of the coast were amazing! We did feel very beat up the following day (sore muscles, sunburns) but the memories we made will last forever and the pain was easily alleviated by rest and ibuprofen! Highly recommend this experience, be sure to ask for Ren and Zack!

5.00EXCELLENT - DO NOT MISS THIS!! Our family of 14 (ages 10-64) had an AMAZING time with our guide Josh and our captain Skye. I couldn’t believe my eyes - it was breathtaking and surreal at times to be that close to such majestic beauty, around every curve and cliff, sights I will remember for a lifetime. Josh led us around the beach, describing the historical significance of locations, sights and narrating the customs that were practiced many years ago. The caves were serene and awe inspiring at the same time, the beauty overwhelming. We snorkeled off of the shore and saw lots of pretty fish both solo and in schools. I can’t say enough - THIS IS A TRIP OF A LIFETIME.
