This is an amazing tour run by a capable and friendly crew. Our captain was an outstanding navigator and provided valuable information about the Hawaiian culture. His 1st mate was friendly and helpful while serving the diverse needs of the guests. The scenery and experience of the tour was breathtaking so I'm giving this a must do status.

Amazing views , great time!

Captain Andy was great! He was first and foremost, in amazing control of the boat in rough seas, funny, and no nonsense with some of the idiot tourists that come on these excursions. The views are amazing, and the up close sea cave experience was fun! Highly recommend!

Awesome!!!

What an experience.. it’s was amazing, fast paced just like a James Bond movie., waterfall and all. I highly recommend.. however if you have a bad back may not be for you. Captain J and Captain Kimo were awesome.. always made sure we had drinks and snacks.. kept us updated as we traveled along about her history. Well worth it🎉🎉🎉

Great value for an amazing time!

History of the island and locations we visited. Scenic views were outstanding. The raft and snorkeling were a great time. Great value for time spent! Captain Andrew and Kimo were fabulous. The very front was the best but definitely bumpy!

Amazing

Captain John and his deckhand ( I hate that I don’t remember his name because he was equally as awesome) made the perfect day… The ride was rough only because the water conditions. It was like a roller coaster on the water. He showed us so much. Initially we were disappointed because we thought we had missed the window to snorkel, but when we passed back through the spot and the waters were calm and safe he asked all on the boat if they were ok with staying out longer and everyone was excited. On the way back we caught on to some dolphins…. As we continued he noticed the sun beginning to set so he turned the boat around so we could capture. This is a must do tour when on Kauai with this outfit.

What a great way to see Kauai. Captain Andy was both knowledgeable, safety minded, and entertaining. We spotted sea turtles, dolphins, seals, and lots of fish. The best part was standing along the side during the ride!

Great trip!

Holly_J, Sep 2023

It was a beautiful day with beautiful scenery. We even were able to stop and snorkel. It was cool going inside of the cave where a scene from Popeye was filmed!

Great tour

Joe_C, Sep 2023

Napali coast must be seen in person to realize how awesome it is. Captain Miguel was great, he got us in the caves, explained how the cliffs were formed, showed us monk seals and lots of other wildlife. We we got back to Port Allen it was late and we couldn't find an Uber or taxi to take us back to the cruise ship so Captain Miguel took us. It was about a 30 minute drive. When you book your tour request Captain Miguel!

Had a great adventure

Rita_P, Sep 2023

This outing was so fun and informative. The Captain and first mate Mason were phenomenal. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is interested in a great adventure. I was able to cross everything off my list thanks to them.

Try it, you will love it!

Chris_T, Sep 2023

Great fun and adventure! Being able to go into some of the sea caves. Great friendly and caring crew!

Worth every penny!

Beverly_P, Sep 2023

This was an awesome excursion. The captain of the ship was not only thoughtful but very knowledgeable and eagerly shared this knowledge with us. We went to some amazing places that as he said "places you could not reach on your won by car". The cave and waterfall were the highlights of the ride. Thanks and a must do for all who visit the island -- worth every penny.

The coast is beautiful and out number one reason for visiting Kauai. The experience was wonderful and our host Mason friendly and informative. Highly recommend.

Great crew and great views

Bryce_D, Sep 2023

We are very glad we booked with Captain J’s. The crew and boat were both fantastic. The ride was enjoyable and more comfortable than a regular raft excursion. We would definitely recommend them and the tour to others.

An ocean adventure with magnificent views
