Vacation Highlight

My favorite activity on our trip to Kauai! A catamaran tour gives you a longer, more relaxing experience. This tour from Hanalei was perfect. We were able to go inside caves and take a lot of pictures. The scenery is breathtaking! We snorkeled in a beautiful reef and saw turtles and lots of fish. Captain and crew were excellent!

Excellent Adventure

This was definitely THE highlight of our trip to Kauai! Great service, from booking, to the excellent adventure. Our captain was very knowledgeable about the history of the island which made the tour come alive! We even saw some dolphins nearby! If you’re on the fence, just do it! You will not regret it.

Worth Every Penny

Everything went great! Terrific friendly crew, smooth weather, boat was appropriate and roomy for the trip. Lots of time in the sea caves and great snorkeling. Delish sandwiches, snacks, and drinks. What more could we want? Pick this for your Napali Coast trip!
