This was an awesome experience even though the weather did not cooperate and we could not go to Niihau. Due to the tradewinds and some seriously rough seas we could not make the trip to Niihau. We found the crew very pleasant and accommodating. The views were incredible and we were able to take in an amazing whale watching session. As noted by the several this is more of a summer time tour because the weather and seas are more predictable. I believe we missed out on a bunch by not going to Niihau but the whale experience made up for it. The large boat size provides plenty of room so it's not real crowded. We saw other boats on similar trips and they appeared to be more crowded. We would HIGHLY recommend this trip.

We've been snorkeling before, but none were as personalized as the one we had on this trip. Our guides, Paul and Jack, were very light-hearted, funny, but extremely careful when it came to the safety of our snorkelers. You could tell they truly enjoyed being our guides, and they lived and breathed what Kauai offered. The trip was very special and personal to my wife and me, because our guides brought us to places, and pointed out creatures we would never have seen or held by ourselves. And although their jobs were to entertain and teach us about snorkeling, they were equally committed to the well-being of the sea life (e.g., the sea turtles), giving clear directions and explanations for how we were to be responsible for our actions around them.
Snacks and tips on other great sites to see in Kauai followed the swim. Thanks for the fun, Paul and Jack!

カウアイ島を訪れるなら絶対ナパリコーストには行ってみたかったので、今回ツアーに参加しました。
海からの眺めは本当に最高でした。大きくあいた穴がトンネルのように続いていたり、トンネルの天井部分に穴が開いていてそこに滝が流れ落ちていたりなどと、面白いポイントがたくさんあり、間近で見れて良かったです。
シュノーケリングも楽しめランチも美味しかったです。大満足のツアーです!

家族でツアーに参加しました。子供が一緒だったので、クルージングだと船酔いが心配でしたが、船酔いすることもなく家族みんなで楽しめました。
海の上から見上げるナパリコーストの洞窟や奇岩などは迫力満点で、絶景を堪能できました。美しい景観だけでなく、途中でイルカやクジラに遭遇したり、ウミガメや熱帯魚を間近に見るシュノーケリングが楽しめたり、とても内容の濃いツアーでした。またいつか参加してみたいです。

以前、ナパリコーストのトレッキングツアーに参加したことはあったのですが、どうしても海からの眺めも見てみたいということでツアー参加を決めました。
天候も良くクルージングは気分最高でした。真っ青な海で泳ぐイルカの群れを見たり、心地よい風を感じながら眺める壮大な景色に感動しました。岸壁や渓谷の迫力ある光景は今でも目に焼きついています。
シュノーケリングでウミガメを見るのを楽しみにしていたのですが、遭遇できなかったのは残念でした。でも、カラフルな魚たちが泳ぐ海の中の世界はきれいでした!

カウアイ島といえばやっぱりナパリコースト!大自然の造形美が見たくてこのツアーに参加しました。
当日は天気も良く空は真っ青で、海はとってもきれいでした。ナパリの何百年もかけて造られた大自然は想像以上の美しさで、はっと息を呑むような壮大さでした。
シュノーケリングは、海の透明度バツグンで色鮮やかな魚たちや、運よく海ガメも見ることができとても楽しめました。
今回のクルージングでは素晴らしい景色を堪能できましたが、ただ船に乗る時間が長いので、船酔いをする人は酔い止め薬を予め飲んでたほうが良いと思います。

This was one of the highlights of my whole trip! But first the bad stuff:
Be prepared that riding in a small zodiac very quickly through the extremely bumpy, choppy Pacific Ocean is not for the faint of heart!! You're basically holding on for dear life to a rope and you're bumping and bopping all over the place as you're speeding through the ocean. And then it rains and those drops sting you're eyes as you're speeding in a boat. If you even THINK you have a sore back or neck DO NOT do this! My boyfriend and I are both in excellent shape and we both still had soreness in our backs and butts for two days afterward from the boat ride and our knuckles were rubbed raw from holding onto the rope (we should have used the gloves the captain offered us!).
But it was SO worth it!! We even boated over a whole group of dolphins and you're seeing them way up close and personal in this zodiac rather than on a big high boat. It was so amazing!! The snorkeling is wonderful, the Na Pali Coast is

This was a wonderful experience! Our instructor picked us up in a very clean van, there were 5 of us total. The drive to the ocean was beautiful and only about 10 minutes away. When we got there we put on our gear, eveything that you 'll need is there, fins, masks, wetsuit, etc. in the sizes you ask for. They even had prescription masks for people with glasses (even high strengths, a 5 for me). I was a little nervous because i'm not a very good swimmer, but the wet suit helps you float and there is a surf board like thing with rope handles that you can hang on to. Put I had a great time holding on to that and just looking down the whole time. We saw lots of tropical fish, coral reef, and sea turtles (huge ones!) just floating next to us. The ocean water is warm too, so don't worry about being cold, the pool at my resort was colder. Okay and last but not least there were no sharks. I was very worried about that, even though I research it before signing up, but its very very ra

Snuba diving was by far the best, most fun, most relaxing activity that I've ever done on any of the Hawaiian Islands! We were well instructed and the staff (sorry I don't remember names) were very safety-conscious. I couldn't stop smiling afterwards, and just to write about my experience now, I'm still smiling! I just finished watching the video of our group and re-lived it all over again. I highly recommend this activity!

Captain Chris and his crew took care to make sure every passenger was looked after and made to feel at home. Watching the sun come up on the Na Pali coast was spectacular and the snorkeling spot was to die for.
The water can be rough so take precautions for sea sickness.
This was a great trip. I personally didn't need to have the "Forbidden Isle" portion. It's forbidden because you can't go anywhere near it.
All said though - a very good trip!

Thank you for an awesome experience! We went during March with our 9 yr old son and the guides helped keep track of him in the water and kept making sure he was doing okay.The water was warm, they had wetsuits and great equipment for everyone. We saw an amazing number of fish at the first snorkel spot. We even saw a few eels. After about 45 minutes you rest and have beverages before you go off to the second spot. The second location was amazing. Sea turtles were all around you, everyone got great pictures. The guides even made sure that if they saw something special they would point it out to everyone around them. After snorkeling, you go back and turn in equipment and have snacks and more beverages. Definitely would recommend this to anyone. THANK YOU!! When we come back we will be doing this adventure again.

My wife and I had a great time on the boat, the
Captain was very good at knowing the laws governing the missle base, he slowed going up the coast after hearing over the radio they were going to launch a missle. He and the crew kept a sharp eye on the surface for any ocean activity that he could get close to while we slowed, when we got past the site he showed us some incredible scenery on the Na pali shore, my wife and I thought it was the most beautiful area we have ever seen. The snorkeling part was the only draw back, it just seemed like we were the ten thousand and one boat load of people to visit that spot. The water was nice but it was just a time killer. Overall it was worth the money and the time, The Captain and Crew did a great job, it was well worth the trip.

My family is still talking about the exceptional, exciting, fantastic trip that we took to Niihau. The snorkeling was the best that we have ever seen- clear blue water, lots of fish and plenty of time to snorkel. The colors of the water were incomparable- sapphire blue, azure, teal,aquamarine and garnet green-spectacular. The service and the crew were great- they really knew all about the islands and they were experts on snorkeling.
