Top Hawaii Catamaran Cruises - page 2

The Nāpali coast is something you do not want to miss. The views of the cliffs were amazing! We could see people on the beaches that allowed us to really appreciate the great size of the cliffs. Our captain Greg gave detailed information about the history of the place and the people without overpowering us with information. We all were astounded by his ability to back the boat into two sea caves! I also appreciated how he had his crewmate, Caleb, take our pictures using our own phones so we could have a nice photo. Though I did not snorkel, everyone else did and they all spoke of how clear the water was. They saw turtles and beautiful fish. I saw a swimming turtle plus several colorful fish just by looking overboard. The ride is bumpy as there were swells but I love an exciting boat ride. We also saw a large group of spinner dolphins on the way back! Synchronized swimming at its best! Lunch of a sub, chips and a cookie plus plenty of soft drinks was included. All in all, a very memorable trip that everyone visiting Kauai should take.

This was a first rate experience with a fantastic crew and a very interesting and entertaining commentary from the Captain. The snorkeling was kind of plain but it was still a nice break and fun to get in the water. I missed that they had snorkeling gear on board so don’t bring your own.

Don’t look any further! The team at Na Pali Experience is the best group you could choose to have your coastal tour with. We were very lucky to be with Captain Jackson and Colleen (now a captain as well!) and they took such good care of us! From the beginning to the end, they navigated us safely to view the stunning Na Pali Coast with interesting local history tidbits galore. We also were very fortunate to see multiple pods of Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins surfacing and jumping around, to which Captain Jackson took every opportunity to stop so we could see them. Colleen was extraordinarily charismatic and very attentive to everyone’s needs, along with being very enthusiastic about her job and how she is a part of everyone's experience. We enjoyed some snacks and drinks while on board which was very much appreciated as we were in the heat and started early enough to be peckish with minimal breakfast prior. We snorkeled for a good amount of time which allowed us to see 2 honu (sea turtles) and plenty of fish 🐠. Super fun and safe experience and would highly recommend choosing the Na Pali Experience as part of your trip. Thanks again to Colleen and Capt. Jackson, and mahalo nui loa 🤙
