Traveler reviews
Family Fun along the Napali Coast
Our family of six had a fun and memorable experience on the Napali Coast cruise and snorkel. We highly recommend this trip, and here’s a few reasons why. First, the crew (Captain Kelly, Coral, and Mason) were professional, engaging, and fun. The boat, “Laila,” was big enough for all guests so it didn’t feel too cramped. The food was solid, and the after snorkeling beers hit the spot! The scenery was so inspiring and the interpretation about the history of the area was a nice touch. While the snorkeling was not as good as other beaches on Kauai or other snorkeling beaches on the other islands, it was nice (requisite sea turtle spotted). Of course, as soon as we all came out of the water two monk seals showed up and started playing around and swimming close to the boat. That was so cool! We all took bonine before the trip to help with any nausea issues. While one of our kids felt sick, she didn’t get sick. And there were plenty of white caps throughout the cruise, which made for a very lively trip!
Voye Vacation
Just amazing adventure and sightseeing. The captain and crew were exceptional guides and plenty of humor
Amazing
Captain Kelly, Luke, & Mason were all AMAZING!!!!!!! We couldn’t go snorkeling due to the water conditions but honestly you didn’t feel like you missed out. They slowed down and followed wildlife so we could see them, got up close to the rocks and even got us to a waterfall to be under! Truly an amazing experience. The waves were rough and some people were sea sick and these 3 handled it so well, were so gracious to those people, and we could not have asked for better guides. Would recommend this tour because even if the conditions don’t allow snorkeling that day you won’t even miss it! 10/10 recommend.
Unforgettable Trip with a Great Captain and Crew!
Our family did the catamaran snorkel tour and Jess our captain and her team - Coral and Mason - were excellent. This team made sure everyone was informed, felt safe and they taught us about our surroundings. The service truly was thoughtful and attentive. The food and drinks were good and plentiful. They were also super sweet and attentive to those experiencing motion sickness on the boat. Seeing this stunning coast from the water is something we will never forget. Overall fantastic experience.
Excellent way to explore Na Pali coast!
