  • 5Great experience worth every penny!

    This tour was so fun and informative. Captain Jane and First mate RJ are amazing! It is was just a bit pricey at $250, but was worth it for the experience, snacks, and swimming. We saw dolphins, a sea turtle, waterfalls, and even went into some caves. There are only about 18 people on the tours so plenty of room to move around and switch up seats. Would definitely book again.

  • 5Joining my bucket list memories

    We had a wonderful day on the ocean, seeing the Na Pali Coast. Started on the South side, then turned around on the North side after seeing all the sites. Cap'n Chellen was Chillin' with great tunes and smooth sailing. Kasey and Bret were readily available and ever watching, mindful of our movements. Safety first. All 3 crew made light conversation and took our iphone photos of ourselves. I liked the way we were told what to expect at the next stop. Had time to get to jump in the ocean twice, with a nice fresh water shower hose to rinse off. The boat was perfect. It was big, sturdy, fast, and offered shaded seats. I felt very safe the whole excursion. My husband joked the boat had a NASCAR roll cage. All aluminum. A well-kept boat, brand new in appearance. The Na Pali Experience. Money well=spent. Right up there with seeing Antelope Canyon and Machu Picchu on the 'list'.

    Captain Jake and RJ were incredible! They were extremely knowledgeable and quick to answer any questions we had. They were also super easy to talk to and made the entire trip special. My wife and I had planned to hike the coast but since it’s closed, this was our next best bet. So glad we decided to book. Would recommend 10/10!

  • 5Best Day of the Trip!

    After our sunset catamaran trip was canceled we scrambled to book another boat for the Napali Coast. Napali Experience far exceeded our expectations!!! Our Captain Chellen and First Mate Kasey were awesome! Super attentive to everyone and made the trip SO much fun! If you are looking to get into the caves, listen to great music and learn about the Hawaiian culture book this excursion!

About Kauai

Kauai, known as the Garden Isle, is Hawaii's oldest main island, a mountainous place of waterfalls, sea cliffs, a vast canyon and quiet beaches.

Kauai is the northernmost of Hawaii's main islands and the oldest, worn by millions of years of rain into deep valleys and jagged green ridges. Mount Waialeale at its centre is one of the wettest places on Earth. The towns are small: Lihue has the airport and harbour, Kapaa and Hanalei have shops and cafés, and wild chickens roam freely.

Top-ranked sights in Kauai: Na Pali Coast, Waimea Canyon, Mt. Waialeale.
