5.00Jessie and NIck are unbelievably so awesome!!! We had such a great personalized charter tour of Na Pali coast! We saw everything we wanted to see, whales, dolphins (both spinners and bottle nose), Hawaiian turtles, tons of fishes. We even did a bit of fishing. Jessie and Nick know so much about Hawaii Islands and Kauai obviously, the history, the culture, the people, the sights and sounds... THE BEST!!!
Great Day on the Water

5.00Nick and Jesse are both good captains as well as great hosts on their boat. As a private tour it feels tuned to the group on board. If you want a personal touch to a boat tour, this is the one to consider. Whales, dophins, snorkeling were all part of a superb day along the Napali coast.
Awesome tour

5.00Amazing experience all around. We saw turtles, dolphins, fish and more. It was such a beautiful way to see Na Pali coast. Great experience with our kids and best guides you could ask for. Honestly, Jessie and Nick were fantastic.

5.00Amazing day on a private charter with our family (wife and I are in mid 50’s and grown children 25 & 22) cruising up the Na Pali coast w/ Capt Nick and Jessie! Great communication and easy & timely access from harbor (25 mins from Poipu Beach). Saw amazing views of coast line, waterfalls, secluded beaches, caves and lots of wildlife including spinner dolphins, sea birds, mountain goats. Then stopped for a snorkel and saw 4 sea turtles and tons of beautiful reef fish and coral. Lifelong memories made!

5.00This tour was led by two locals that were passionate about the island and extremely comfortable and accommodating. We were able to see humpback whales up close, boat with hundreds of dolphins and snorkel. They gave us a tour of the coast and information related to the local biome. They were exceptionally accommodating to our needs and well worth the extra cost over the more popular large group tours. We were not rushed and they in fact extended our kids could try fishing. It was a highlight of ANY family trip we have been on and we give it a 10/10.
Great Fishing and Fun

5.00Our family of four (with two boys, ages 7 and 10) had a great day on the water fishing! We caught a bunch of fish, saw whales and sea turtles, and had so much fun! We’ll definitely book another trip when we come back.
Once in a lifetime trip!

5.00Wow! What an incredible trip. Thank you so much to Jessie and Nick for an awesome tour of the Na Pali Coast. They were so kind and knowledgeable and my whole family had a wonderful time. The views were breathtaking and we also got to see dolphins, whales, and turtles! Jessie took her time guiding us all snorkelling and pointing out turtles, eels, an octopus, and many different fish! Thank you Jessie and Nick!

5.00Captains Jessie and Nick did a private Kauai na pali coast tour for my family, and it was awesome. They were warm from the start, and got us loaded onto their nice clean boat. During the tour, we saw the sights and they were great about providing commentary and history. We got to see cliffs, caves, turtles, pods of dolphins, and humpback whales too! Jessie even found a turtle for me to swim with while snorkeling. Unfortunately, my kids were not taking well to the motion of the ocean, and they happily edited the trip to whatever we needed. The best part - there were reports of a dolphin w a fishing net stuck around its muzzle. We found it, and Jessie somehow dove in and freed the dolphin from an almost certain demise. Hero.
