Captain J and Shane took great care of us. The boat was super comfortable and we saw sea turtles, spinner dolphins and a humpback whale.

So much fun. This was the perfect hybrid for our group (2 adults, 15 year old, 12 year old)—more adventure than the big boat sunset cruises, but a little more comfortable than the SEAL-style rafts where you sit on the sides of the raft. The views are amazing—the coast is incredibly beautiful, and we sailed under waterfalls, went into caves, and saw dolphins. We did get wet (they provide small dry bags for cameras, phones, etc.) so bring a towel or two. Our guide, Kanon, gave us a mix of history and jokes and also took family/group photos with the Na Pali coast in the background. Holiday card ✔️ The conditions weren't great for snorkeling the day we went out, so we sailed further before turning around and then stopped so anyone who wanted to could jump off the boat into to ocean. They had basic snacks and drinks but this isn't a food/drink-focused trip, just FYI. No complaints; we weren't there for food. We wanted to see the coast, to feel like we were out on the ocean, and experience some caves—and we did. Would recommend.

A magical experience!! My wife and I are so glad we booked this tour. The weather was perfect, and I got so many positive things to say. The captain and the staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. The boat ride was very fast (and bumpy on our way back due to the waves), which we were fine with. We saw A LOT of dolphins, turtles, and got very lucky and saw a whale. The beauty of the Na Pali Coast was definitely the highlight and they do take photos of each party, which was great. There is also snorkeling, which is a bonus. I HIGHLY recommend Captain J's!

Captain Andy and crew were great, treated us to an awesome trip seeing dolphins, turtles and caves along the Napoli coast. They were very experienced on the return trip when the winds picked up and got us back to home port safe and sound.

We went out on Friday with Captain John and Kannon and had the best time. It was the highlight of our time in Kaua’i and we want to come back and visit to do it again. The Napali Coastline and snorkeling were literally amazing. The music was a whole vibe and John and Kannon were so nice!

The tour was absolutely amazing. The sights you see are breathtaking. I can’t believe the beauty of this island! My daughter did get seasick, even after taking Dramamine, but the crew was very attentive to her needs. I would highly recommend taking this tour.

This boat trip was the highlight of our trip to Kauai! Captain Andrew and Shain were the best and friendliest of tour guides. They showed us gorgeous views of the Napoli Coast, and they told us many interesting stories of Hawaiian history and lore. We were so lucky to see a school of dolphins and even some whales! They stopped at a great spot for snorkeling where we saw some beautiful sea turtles. We will choose this company again on our next trip to this enchanting island!

Incredible views of the Na'Pali coast with great insights from the captain into the lore of the local peoples. We only snorkeled one time for about 20 minutes. I would have loved to snorkel more. We didn't see any dolphins or wales. Still, it was a fantastic experience.
