Amazing Coast Experience!

The best part was the dolphins. The crew was very friendly and informative. Ocean was a bit rough on the way back but the boat handled it well. Great experience and we would highly recommend it.

Great!

Took my older parents to see the Na Pali coast with Captain Duff, crews Aaron and Kalani. Had a lot of fun. We saw dolphins, rays, and sea turtles. Special thanks to Kalani for being patient with my mom. Ocean was choppy on way back. No one got sick. Very enjoyable trip.

Great Experience

Great experience!! The best thing we did in Hawaii - loved by all family members. The crew was great, helpful and fun. The views were amazing. The snorkling visual was mediocre, but you don't do a Napali trip for snorkling. Its mainly about the coast views and boat ride which we loved. This company is well run. They took us to all the great views, through a cave and close to waterfalls. I highly recommend them.
