Traveler reviews
Excellent Small Tour
The crew was wonderful! So friendly, knowledgeable and safety conscious without killing the fun. The food was surprisingly good, especially the cookies!
Good time on the water!
This was a great experience and the crew were fun, funny and hospitable. We had a good tome snorkeling and seeing the coast. The only thinb I would caution folks, nothing against the company at all, is that if you are not sure about the water or your ability to ride the waves, think about it because its 5 hours 😂 But if you go sit in front for best experience!!
Absolutely worth it!
The crew was the best part which says a lot because the mountains and snorkeling were amazing. Crew was so fun and so knowledgeable. We learned so much about Hawaiian history and culture. Would recommend 11/10
Fun with music
The captain was informative and experienced. He took us through the waves and to Na Pali. He shared the rich history of the area—good music to Na Pali. Even better music coming back. The crew was very attentive to snacks, meals, and drinks. Note: There is drawer to keep dry cloth above the ground. The ship had good grippy floor to walk bare foot.
Loved every minute of it!...
Loved every minute of it! Comfy ride, amazing views, knowledgable and friendly staff that care of the history and lore of the island. We saw tons of dolphins, but not much snorkeling.
