A must do excursion on Kauai - Absolutely the best experience. Great crew and very stable comfortable boat. Fantastic information about native plants and history of the area. Added bonus was the open bar and lovely cocktails.

Highly recommend doing this. - I went with my wife and 7 year old daughter and we had a blast. Our captain Stevie started our journey by taking us out of the harbor and out onto the open ocean since it was relatively calm out and we ended up seeing a couple whales breaching and waving at us. Then we went back up the river for a very informative leisurely cruise with great drinks and snacks served up by Sage our bartender. To top it off, we got to see a beautiful sunset. Overall a great experience that I would definitely do again. Hats off to Stevie and Sage. Mahalo

Kalapaki Kai II boat tour - We enjoyed our boat trip on the Kalapaki Kai II. Captain Stevie and Shipmate/Bartender Becca were awesome. They made sure our 14 & 8 year old grandchildren felt welcome. It was a beautiful night on the water, experiencing the river and the ocean. We learned some Hawaiian history while enjoying snacks and drinks. The boat was immaculate and had ample seating. We were allowed to move around and could get great views of the fabulous scenery. Becca even took photos of our group on our phones for us, so we have this adventure well documented. We all enjoyed the tour.
