Amazing!!! - I had an absolutely spectacular time! Captain Mac is so friendly, kind, and an amazing captain. We saw dolphins, turtles (honu), went inside caves and under waterfalls, and got to snorkel in the ocean. This is an adventure and a half but totally worth it and a highlight of my trip for sure.

Amazing experience - Water voyage of a lifetime. Mac, our captain, and Payton her 2nd in command, were both amazing. The entire staff, from check in through check out, were professionals, friendly and helpful. Our experience included three sisters and their spouses. What a journey for us to share. The views and the island speaks for itself, but what made this trip special was the experience of our crew that made us feel like we were the special ones. It was an experience not quickly forgotten. And the icing on the cake, Mac’s playlist. She had the passengers singing along and we all enjoyed the music. I would suggest this as a can’t miss experience for anyone traveling to Kauai!

Exciting adventure! - We had a great time! The wind and waves were such that we couldn’t go in the caves, but the captain made sure we got close and had a very enjoyable time. It was quite an adventure!

Bumpy Ride in Paradise and Worth it! - What an excellence experience despite the rough water. The two man crew was awesome. The captain was able to get us in the caves with with the rough waters and both crew members provided information about the Napali Coastline (cliffs etc.) that was very interesting. The ride was bumpy and the water was churned up so we didn't get to snorkel, however we weren't there to snorkel. We did go for a swim after the captain found calmer waters. What a beautif experience. On our way back we found ourself surrounded by hundreds of dolphins, which was amazing. They followed us for some time before we had to head back. On the way back our awesome captain found multiple whales. "My oh my" was that an amazing experience. We were able to get as close as we could without spooking the whales as they breached, including multiple whales waving Aloha with their tail. WOW! You have to book a trip and I recommend booking the early AM tour so you have the rest of the day to think about what you experince.
