Private Na Pali Coast Boat Charter 4.5 Hour Adventure

Napali with the best company

Such an incredible afternoon on the water. Brian and Captain Jane were so good and communication and safety. We rode up the coast and stopped for snorkeling on the way back. With the coast we got to go inside a few of the ocean caves and that was really unique and fun. Then we got a great view of the cliffs in several spots, they stopped in front of the cathedrals and took pictures for everyone. After snorkeling, they had fresh cut pineapple and drinks and snacks for us to enjoy. They shared so many stories and quality information. Fantastic time!

The bomb. Com !!

Absolutely stellar work by Corbin and Casey this morning we had a blast Corbin’s navigating was unparalleled he handled some gross chop very well . Great team work between the two as well both extremely attentive to details and to each guest on the vessel simultaneously while managing weather conditions and wildlife we ran into a bunch of dolphins consistently , they navigated us into several caves flawlessly in less than ideal conditions so that we could all have a phenomenal experience and memories that will last a lifetime and most importantly they know when to call it wraps as weather looked like it was going to come in on us and make it less than pleasant for everyone coming from a Vegas limo driver the hospitality was 5 star the experience was 5 star and these guys actually got to know each of us on this trip well worth the money and experience I highly recommend this one !!!

An Amazing Local Kauaʻi Experience!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shasta and this family owned tour company. This was truly a top notch experience from beginning to end.Shasta is a local, and that made our tour feel so much more special. She shared beautiful places around Kauaʻi that felt like the kinds of places only locals would know. We weren’t simply sightseeing. We felt like we were getting to experience the island through someone who genuinely loves it and knows it so well.One of our stops was the beautiful Wailua Falls, and if you have the opportunity while you’re there, I hope you also get to meet Makepa B, the Lauhala Man. He was such a special person to meet and talk with and added another wonderful memory to our day. I thoroughly recommend taking the time to visit with him. You can also purchase a beautiful handmade keepsake to bring home, which makes the experience even more special.Shasta also took us to a wonderful local spot where we enjoyed fresh sugar cane and smoothies made with incredibly fresh ingredients. These little local experiences were some of my favorite parts of the day because they made the tour feel so authentic. It felt like we were getting a glimpse of the real Kauaʻi rather than just visiting the usual tourist stops.Because this was a small group island waterfall tour, we received such wonderful personal attention. Shasta was lovely, knowledgeable, fun, and incredibly helpful. We all had such a great time with her.What impressed me even more was how much she genuinely cared about us. I needed to get to the airport on time after the tour, and Shasta went out of her way to make sure I got there, personally dropping me off. That kind of kindness and customer service is something you don’t forget.Between the waterfalls, the beautiful scenery, the local experiences, and Shasta’s personal attention, this was such a special way to experience Kauaʻi. I would 100% recommend this family owned company and Shasta to anyone visiting the island.We had so much fun, made some wonderful memories, and I would book this tour again without hesitation! 🌺🌴

Hanalei Kayak and Snorkel

The Kayak experience was fantastic our guide, Chance Kolo was fun and attentive and shared lots of history of his family and town. Unfortunately people were late and we started nearer to 3:00 rather than 2:00. We also returned nearer to 5:15 rather than 6:00. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience!

Movie Tour

It's a great tour to see the inland. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and nice, so was the driver. Lots of getting off and on the bus to see the beauty of the area. Showed clips of movies and tv shows, which helped put the picture with the area. I would do it again.
