Our Makana tour with Capt Mike, Lionel and his brother was AMAZING. The crew was friendly, energetic, full of historical facts and catered to every person's needs. The boat was sturdy and powered across the Pacific with ease and no one got seasick In fact, it was almost like a roller coaster ride at times and so much fun. We had the perfect "winter summer day" with great conditions for snorkeling, going inside a sea cave and heading close to shore. We highly recommend this tour and will absolutely do it again when we return. It was the best part of our vacation and we loved every minute!

カウアイ島の行きたかった場所を効率よく回れて、とても良いツアーでした。
ドライバー兼ガイドさんのおもてなし、技術がとても高いと感じました。
日本語でも気さくに話しかけてくださいました。
英語なのですべて理解はできませんでしたが、バス内でもとてと楽しませていただきました。
リバークルーズも、生演奏が聴けてとてもよかったです。
ランチも付いていて、カウアイコーヒーにも立ち寄れたので充実した一日でした。

We had so much fun doing outrigger canoeing! Our instructor (sorry, don’t remember his name) was so nice. He was good at telling us what we needed to do when we needed to do it. On our first run, we were able to coast almost all the way to the beach. We went out and back I think 4 times. We did have some problems finding where we were supposed to go because the directions were a bit u clear. But we planned ahead and still got there on time. So glad we did this. We would to do it again next time we visit Kaua’i. I wouldn’t mind taking surfing lessons from our same instructor too. All in all, great time had by all.

Had a great time, and our tour guide was great. Calm water during the kayak, easy hike, and refreshing swim at the Secret Falls.
Aloha Brandon,
Since you did not mention a particular guide, will assume you are extolling all our guides.
Glad you enjoyed the river calm and the easy hike.
A swim in the pool below the falls is always electric.
Thanks for sharing.
Stay active and healthy.

Aloha Sara,
Thanks for helping us celebrate 40 years at the "helm"
All our tours, from ocean to rivers often combine some lower and upper body exercise.
And our guides truly love what they do and love sharing their particular brand of aloha.
Stay well and active and retain those memories.

A great way to experience surfing! Perfect for 2-3 people. Paddle captain was very friendly, helpful, and able to share lots of information. As with any outdoor activity, it is dependent on weather and conditions. Unfortunately, our morning had very calm seas. We were able to catch a few good waves, so not a complete bust!

When I think of a Luau, I think of the movie with Adam Sandlin, Jennifer Aniston, and Nicole Kidman in Just Go With It - in Maui.
The Luau we attended here was different than my expectations. The arboretum on the property was beautiful and full of a variety of plants, trees, animals, and some sea life.
The buffet style food approach was ok, but nothing exceptional unfortunately.
After dinner, there was a show to reflect the Hawaiian history and culture through dance, which culminated in a one-man fire stick show.
Again, all okay. Probably the coolest thing to me was the fact that it's a family business of more than 5 generations. Hats off to them!

This boat tour was the highlight of our trip! Captain Mike was funny and a great driver! His crew was also great at telling us about the coast, wildlife and history of Kaua'i. We were able to snorkle and I had a misshapen with the snorkle gear and they helped me through the issue and really made me feel comfortable snorkeling (my first time). The crew was funny and really made the boat tour the best it could be. We also saw many dolphins and humpback whales! If you only do one thing on Kaua'i you have to do the tour with the Napl'i Kai 3 boat tour with Captain Mike!
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback, Michelle! We are so happy you had a great time on our NaPali coast tour with Captain Mike and our crew. We hope to see you folks again!

I enjoyed the cruise and found it informative. The grotto was beautiful and there were a lot of interesting plants along the jungle like walk.
My husband didn't care for it because of the amount of people on board. A bus from a cruise ship let ofF their tour people which made it pretty crowded but that is to be expected. My husband just doesn't like to be in crowds.

We were reassured that the tour would be a "go" even though rain was threatening. The group was a bit hesitant but the trip went without a hitch, even when the skies opened up and we got dumped on. The tubing portion was great and a lot of fun for all. Kiersten was a great lead guide, and her team made sure that everyone was safe. Lunch was good, but dampened by the downpour. Overall, I believe that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this adventure. Special kudos to Kiersten.
