Our tour of the Na Pali Coast was fantastic! Captain Tim did an amazing job. Crew members LeRoy and Tony was fun, knowledgeable and energetic! Would recommend to anyone looking for a tour and snorkel adventure!

This trip was absolutely life changing. The ride out was exceptional - the history, the culture, and the professionalism. The crew made the trip something that my family will never forget. We saw hundreds of dolphins and dolphin babies on the ride out, went into sea caves and saw numerous waterfalls, learned about the history of the Napali coast and its previous inhabitants, and spent the return trip snorkeling and eating a rewarding lunch. The crew was great and incredibly attentive to everyone on the boat. Thank you!

Your was a blast on their new boat. Morning waters were calmer than the water coming back to dock, and the snorkeling was so calm. Fair amount of fish, but the sights were awesome. Would absolutely recommend this tour, the boats were big enough to be comfortable but with capping at 18 on the boat we were on it wasn’t too crowded either. Plus, the boat is still small enough to go into some of the caves!

Incredible experience - gorgeous views, perfect boat, with padded deck for going barefoot. The crew is super friendly, skilled, and knowledgeable. Great stories about the sights as we viewed them. Plenty of time for snorkeling in a perfect spot, so even beginners could feel confident, and an ʻono lunch provided as well. We absolutely recommend it for anyone coming to Kauaʻi, and weʻll do it again!

We had a memorable tour to see the awesome Nepali coastline. On the way we had up close experiences with both bottlenose and spinner dolphins. Snorkeling was available and a light lunch provided. The captain and crew were welcoming, informative and super-friendly.

For this family the excursion was fantastic. Captain Makana and Lionel and Nikki were outstanding guides and helpful throughout the trip. Saw Dolphins while heading to the coast, turtles and fish while snorkeling. Words don’t describe the beauty of Napali Coast. The cultural and historic information was a great way to learn about this significant location as well. We highly recommend this tour. A highlight for sure.

This is a wonderful tour and a great value! Lionel and Jasmine are very friendly, helpful, and informative. They made certain to give everyone an very individualized experience. They gave extra care to those who needed it, and allowed independence to those of us that did not. An absolute perfect balance.

This was a beautiful tour! Highly recommend the tour company and we enjoyed sailing on the Na Pali Kai III. The smaller boats leave from the harbor closest to the coast near Waimea canyon. The snorkel spot was better than the snorkel tour we did in Maui. Was one of the highlights of our entire trip 10/10

We had such a great experience. The staff, Rhiannon and Jay, were so friendly and fun. The sites were beautiful and it was obvious this was a family owned local experience. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to have a good family experience.

We had the most amazing tour with A’Ah (sorry for the misspelling!) and Jamie! Our family of 18 is no small feet and they rolled with our quirks and general mayhem with ease! They were great when one of our little crew members was feeling sick, offering different remedies, which helped him enjoy the rest of the tour! It was incredibly moving to learn about the Hawaiian culture and see the most beautiful side of Kauai. We even got to visit a naval boat! My son loved that! You can tell how incredibly proud Jamie and A’Ah are about where they were born and raised, and we loved learning about it and them. Would highly recommend and ask for these two!

Genuinely an unforgettable experience! All of the tour guides were extremely informative and knowledgeable, making the experience even better! Words can’t describe the beauty of the Na Pali Coast they showed us and we will always be so grateful! We were able to see pods and pods of dolphins too!
