Fun Day and Amazing Scenery
This trip was really good, there were a few little downfalls, but overall we really had a great time! The only negatives were that we had to snorkel as soon as we went out that morning because the captain had warned us it would be too rough by the afternoon, so it was a little chilly at 9 am and our snorkel spot didn't have much to see. When we got back on board, there was a really nice breakfast waiting for us and drinks flowing. We saw some sea turtles and whales and dolphins, and the captain always slowed down and let us get pics, etc. The ride out to the Na Pali Coast was awesome...(got really rough towards the end, and a few people were a little green), but when we stopped at the coast.....we all felt it was totally worth it for those views....amazing!!! We had lots of time for pics, the crew was awesome...full of interesting info and facts, and so quick to get you drinks or take your pic...they made it really great!! Lunch was also really good and we rode on the nets on the way back with the waves splashing up on us....really had a great day!!

Kohala Coast Sunset Cocktail Cruise (from Hapuna)
Great Night!
We were so lucky on this trip, we had the best time! Dinner was really tasty, and there was plenty to eat and plenty to drink. But the highlight was all the whales we saw!! Like I say, we were really lucky....we had whales swimming alongside us, literally for the entire evening...it was surreal! It was a beautiful, calm night. The captain made sure to turn the boat every now and then so that we never lost sight of the sunset. The crew were all really nice, and super helpful. We drank champagne, and stood at the railing and watched the sun set. It was beautiful!!

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch / East & North Kauai Hotels
Unfortunate weather put a damper on the trip
We were in Hawaii for our 25th anniversary and this was our first trip we had booked. My husband was really looking forward to the kayaking and I was really looking forward to the ziplining. Unfortunately because of the weather (nothing the staff could have done about it - they were really great people!), but we ended up kayaking down a mud river in pouring rain. Hiking through a muddy forest. Lunch was great (sun came out and beautiful spot), but we were super disappointed that there were only 2 ziplines and then the waterfall swim was more like a mud puddle splash. Unbelievably...the weather got worse and we hiked what seemed like 5 miles out of the wettest, muddiest conditions we've ever experienced and took an open boat ride back. Soaking wet, really cold with wind blowing on you from boat ride. Our whole group all tried to keep our spirits up, after all, we're in Hawaii, but you could tell that everyone just wanted it over by the end. An unfortunate shame...probably would have rated it a 4 if it had been a sunny day.
