We had a wonderful experience! The captain, co-captain, and crew were super friendly and fun. They gave us all sorts of history and facts about the island, and were very attentive throughout. It gets quite windy on the boat, so pack a jacket/pants if you’re a person like me who is always cold :) It was a wonderful experience!
It was ok.

Kelly, Luke, and Kim all insured that we had an incredible experience. We were able to snorkel, see a pod of dolphins, and of course the magnificent Napali coastline. This experience was very memorable and one of my favorite experiences.

So. Many. Dolphins!!!
Alex_B, Jan 2024
Kelly and her team were awesome! The weather was gorgeous and we spent a good amount of time snorkeling right off the bat. The most exciting part was when we rounded the coast which gave us out of this world views. To make the experience even better we got close to a giant pod of dolphins! They came right up alongside the boat and followed us for quite a ways. It was the coolest experience I’ve ever had! I would highly recommend this tour and the crew to anyone wanting to visit the Napali coast!
Pampered, chill sightseeing up the Napali coast.

Great crew, very friendly and accommodating. The views are breathtaking! It was a 5 hour trip so make sure to take your Dramamine before you go.
Amazing sail to the Napali Coast.
David_M, Nov 2023
Wonderful and memorable experience. Mike (captain), Gabe and Kevin (deckhands) were terrific. They were funny, a wealth of knowledge, attentive and maintained the highest standard of safety. We snorkeled for almost 30 minutes before heading up to the Napali coast to see amazing view of the mountains and waterfalls. We were able to sail with a pod of spinner dolphins. The food was tasty and the selection of beer and wine was a perfect pairing with the scenery. Highly recommend this company if you plan to take a trip along the coast.
A wonderful little adventure
