I live on Kauai and, when friends or family visit, I take them for a tour of the Napali Coast. This was the first time I used Na Pali Experience, and so far they are the best company I've tried. We had Skipper Dan and Crewmember Colleen, who clearly enjoy their jobs; they were friendly and fun the whole time. They told us lots of good information at every site we stopped at. It was a calm day, so Dan took us much further and we saw the entire Na Pali coast, which is not what other trips I've been on from the south side have ever done. Dan also kept an eye out for wildlife, and we stopped and watched whales and dolphins. Toward the end we stopped to swim and had pineapple, chips and granola bars. The Kauai guidebook says their snack food is sparse, but there was plenty of it and the pineapple was good. And we were on a boat with only 18 passengers.

We saw whales, dolphins, the caves and learned so much about original NaPali life, so interesting with Captain Jackson

Went with our group of West Side Kaua’i locals. Such a good trip. Captain Kiley gave a great ride finding lots of dolphins to watch and a few shy whales. Jay on crew is so knowledgeable and fun. You go on this trip, you’ll have a blast. Boat is super clean and well kept.

Capt Chellan and his first mate KC gave us an unforgettable adventure last week. The catamaran was incredibly stable during 20' swells and it was clear Chellan was an experienced seaman who perfectly navigated the surf. No one got sick on our trip despite the 'exciting' waves at times. Although we could not swim or snorkel due to the conditions that day, Chellan was able to back up part way into some of the caves and safely get us close enough to capture some great pictures of the coast. We also saw whales and spinner dolphins! Loved Chellen's playlist and his artful ability to slice a pineapple. He shared numerous stories and was very knowledgable about the area and its history. KC made sure we were taken care of and comfortable the entire ride. I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

We had an amazing time with Captain Ian and first mate Raquel. Awesome job by Ian piloting us up the Na Pali coast. We had a group of 18 so it was a private charter. Beautiful views of the coast with sea caves and mountains. Thanks so much for taking great care of us!
