Spectacular Zodiac Na'Pali Coast Tour

This Zodiac ride was a blast! I love fast boating. The wind in my hair. The speed across the waves and wakes was fabulous. The ability to go inside the caves was spectacular. Troy and Cassie really knew their facts. They made the 3 hour sightseeing trip fun and interesting . Would recommend and definitely do it again.

Excellent experience!!!

I have been on several Na Pali coast adventures. This one is by far the been. We were extremely lucky and the weather cooperated, so we were able to do the Double Doors twice. If you are physically able I highly recommend this adventure. Plus, it’s locally owned and operated by veterans. We will definitely be doing this one again.

Amazing!

Best time ever!! Our group of four absolutely loved the energy on this boat and the crew was so accommodating and fun! Highly recommend for people who are looking for a good time and good energy. Not for the faint of heart because it was a bit rocky, but incredible experience!

NaPali Coast Excursion

This trip was the highlight of our stay on Kauai. We were fortunate to have calm seas and sunshine for viewing the NaPali Coast. There were lots of whales to see so that was a bonus. The snorkeling was fine and the water clear but the fish were pretty sparse. Kelly, Coral and Noah were terrific hosts and overall, it was a great day.

Lots of fun & lots of rock in’!

Captain Duffy and crew were awesome! Excellent guides of the sea and knowledgeable of the whales, especially since whale watching is very unpredictable. We saw many - so thank you guides! Do take your seasick meds if you are slightly prone to seasickness. The waves are huge!
