We booked the 2 hr subset sail around Kauai, as we wanted to be on the ocean but didn't want to snorkel. The crew was pleasant and the boat was great, however I wish we had gone around to the NaPali coastline for sunset, as this is the best point for a sunset. Nevertheless the views we had from the...

Let me start out by saying that the staff on this boat was very accommodating and attentive. I could tell they wanted to do anything to help the guests. They also took things slow and warned us when things got rough. However those are things I wish I knew before I got on the boat. Please be prepared for this.... More

Got back, neck, or shoulder issues? Get motion or sea sick easily? This trip is not for you. If you're an adventure junkie, sign up now. The raft is a bumpy ride and you have to hold on tight. Depending on the wave conditions, it's like riding a bucking bronco, which quite honestly is part of the fun. You'll be... More

We decided to do a cruise at the last minute (Friday) and were able to book tickets for Sunday's sunset cruise. Despite my mild seasickness (the water wasn't too rough, but I guess I don't have great sea legs), I am so happy we did this. The staff was fantastic and very knowledgeable about the local history and sights (and... More

My girlfriend and I took Captain Andy's morning snorkeling tour of the Na Pali coast. It was the first day of the strong southern swell and we were worried that we might not be able to get out of the harbor. After looking at the surf for a few minutes our Captain Junior determined it was safe and off we... More

We booked a Sunset Cruise on Capt. Andy's 65ft motorized catamaran Southern Star to (1) cruise Kauai's western coast seeking dolphins and whales, (2) take pictures of the NaPali cliffs in late afternoon sun, (3) enjoy the "open bar" while cruising, and (4) have a dinner on board at sunset. All 4 things were made possible by Capt. Rick and... More

First off, we'd like to thank Capt. Casey, John, & Kelvin for their complete attention to us and everyone else on the boat. They took great care of us and made sure we were comfortable and taken care of from beginning to end. The boat ride was one of amazing beauty accompanied by a nice continental breakfast on the way...

May 2, 2013 six hour raft trip with Capt. Ted and Scotty. Something for everyone on this Kauai vacation experience. The company excels at making the trip worthwhile and works hard at providing the best experience for everyone aboard - catering to the interests of their guests, whether it be sea life, history, hawaiian culture, sunbathing, speed, whatever. By lunchtime,... More

We always try to go on a sunset cruise whenever we visit one of the islands. It had been a few years since we were in Hawaii and had discovered tripadvisor prior to this trip. We always have had nice cruises however we would watch other companies in the dock and wonder why we had not booked with them. This... More

Went on a sunset dinner sail on the Southern Star cat. The crew was great, especially the captain. He added a healthy dose of humor as he described the cliffs and beaches of the Na Pali coast. Dinner is cooked on board...fresh and tasty. The only challenge I see with this tour is that they do not anchor when dinner... More
