A 5 star experience! You could tell the crew was committed to respecting and protecting the ocean and wildlife (they even took a detour to fish some trash out of the water) and that safety was a top priority. The tour was fun, engaging, and informative while still giving plenty of time to sit back and enjoy the spectacular views. Conditions didn’t permit for us to snorkel or explore any of the caves, but we did get to hang out with some dolphins that swam up to the boat and we did get a chance to swim a bit!

From the moment we parked and checked in, the whole crew was amazing, friendly, kind, very informative. This was the best trip ever. It was everything we hoped for in experiencing, for the first time… the Majestic Napali Coast. Mahalo to all

The crew was fantastic, attention to detail and making sure everybody always had what they needed to make the trip enjoyable. The captain was very knowledgeable and very skilled at the helm. I’ve been on the saltwater my whole life, and he made me feel completely at ease. I would recommend this specific boat and crew to anyone that wants to see the Na Pali coast. Unsurpassed in quality..

Amazing tour, breathtaking views from Nā Pali and the crew was great! The captain shared some interesting information about certain areas. We saw hundreds of dolphins which made the trip even more spectacular! The provided lunch tasted like glory to me, probably because I was way too hungry but nonetheless it was good! 😜

The crew was amazing!!! So fun, the capt was a master at the helm!. The ocean tour was absolutely beautiful, the knowledge the capt a crew shared made the tour that much better. The sandwiches for lunch we great. Overall, in my opinion, the beauty of the cruise was amazing, better yet was the crew!!! Amazing experience. Highly recommend this boat and crew.

Had a great time on this boat tour to the Na Pali coast! Saw several dolphins including little ones that jumped around. Crew was great and very knowledgeable about the area. Coast was beautiful and the caves and waterfalls we saw were a once in a lifetime experience. The snorkeling wasn’t the best. Saw way more wildlife simply snorkeling at Poipu beach on our own. Wouldn’t book if you are specifically looking for close up wildlife snorkeling- but it was a nice little break on the way to main attraction. Sandwiches were alright but not particularly filling. Needed some more food when we went back to shore. Also the boat didn’t have a wrap around deck so sometimes it was a little tricky to get the best access for viewing. I would recommend sitting on the right side of the boat so you get the best views of the coast and sit in the front row so you have easier access to get up to the front viewing deck. Overall would recommend. Had a great time!

We did an early tour on October 11th and it was an amazing tour with amazing staff! We were a group of 11 that went together and had a really good time on board the Seiko 1, beautiful and spacious boat for a smaller amount of people (we were 15 guests in total if I’m not mistaken) The staff stopped throughout to tell us information about the coastline and its heritage, it was lovely! We saw so many dolphins and the Na Pali coast is simply breathtaking. Definitely an experience of a lifetime!

Great trip out! Saw wildlife including dolphins, a seal and a turtle. We did get out to swim but could not snorkel and found out many trips in the fall/winter don’t get to because of the big winter swells. Would have been nice to know beforehand. Otherwise, Rob, Leroy and Tony were a great crew!
