We decided to go with Na Pali Experience, LLC (also on tripadvisor) for our trip, and were extremely happy we did. As everybody else says, this company is the best because they only put 6 people at most per boat. The other boat leaving our day had only 3 people on it. Far better than the smaller zodiac we saw...

We were fortunate that our Pride of America cruise went out of its way to do a slow pass along the Na Pali Coast. What an awesome, natural structure it is. Unfortunately, we passed later in the day and we did not have the clearest of days, but the cloud did add to the mystique of the place. I would... More

Had an early start with Cpt Andys cruise to the Na Pali coast. Had a continental breakfast on board..cruised for a few hours. Was lucky enough to see a big group of Spinner Dolphins..that was amazing. Cruised on further..stopped for about half an hour to snorkel..weather was overcast so water was a little murky but still there were tropical fish... More

This experience is incredible! A must do and very thrilling if the seas pick up. We had a brand new captain, who did a very good job. Looking forward to going on this expedition the next time i visit! Worth every penny! You will get tired and maybe sore the next day depending on where you sit in the boat.... More

What a great experience we had. It was worth every cent we paid. The zodiac is as advertised--it is a roller coaster of fun along the coast. If you want a less bumpy ride, take one of the three seats in the back Captain Junior was amazing. His love, enthusiasm, and knowledge of the history of his people and the... More

One of my favorite excursions in Kauai. We traveled with "Kauai Zodiac Tourz" and I highly recommend this tour. Captain Sean (sp) was great. Very informative and fun. We saw the Dolphins, Turtles and a ton of colorful fish. The Zodiac is fast so you get more time on the Na Pali coast and less travel time to and from.... More

This was simply the most breathtaking scenery I have ever seen. I am an avid traveler and hiker and thus, have been to many places known for their natural beauty but I've never seen anything even comparable to this place. There are three ways you can enjoy this beautiful coastline, from ground (hike), air, and sea, of which we have... More

My husband and I had a wonderful time on the Liko Kuai snorkeling cruise. The staff was fantastic. The pilot navigated the catamaran over the waves getting out of the harbor with skill and confidence. He did a great job bringing us into the caves for some close-up views. I was especially impressed with the sensitivity the crew brought to... More

This is so worth doing, be it by sea, air or foot, it is absolutely stunning. The beach is too fierce for swimming in. But it is nice to find an uninhabitied part of the island!
