The crew, Captain Larry, Chef John, Kaio, and Steven were very attentive and welcoming. The food was perfect (thanks John and thanks for the extra cookies), the piloting and stories/information along the trip was great (thanks Capt Larry), and a very special shout-out to Kaio (future cribbage champion) and Steven who were always there to help and to mingle with us and the others. We got to see pods of spinner dolphins (way cool) and the entire coast was beyond awesome. We were able to go full sail on the way back down the Na Pali coast (main sail and gib) which was perfect for the great burgers that John made us! We were lucky to have extremely good weather, couldn't have been better. Thanks Crew! We'll be back, Berni & Brian (Seattle).

When we arrived and checked in for our tour, the worker asked if we were local, checked our IDs, and refunded the money to our card. We didn't even have to ask for the Kama'aina discount! The captain was super engaging during our time out in the ocean. He made sure to give us ample time to see the dolphins, informed us of the conditions, and talked to passengers aboard. The conditions when we went were super choppy, so me and a handful of other people started to feel seasick. We were all sitting at the back of the boat, and the workers kept coming to check on us. They brought us waters, alcohol pads, and barf bags. Even if you don't think you need it, it may be best to take motion sickness medicine before you get on the boat. They do not sell Dramamine on the boat, but they do have it at the check in shop. Everything was super organized, and all the instructions were very clear. The only thing that I wasn't a big fan of was how much they were trying to upsell on the photos. If you're looking to see the Na Pali coast, I would highly recommend booking through Captain Andy's.

We couldn't have been happier with the tour that we chose for our na Pali coast tour…read more We went with a bigger boat that could still fit in the caves, which ended up being the best choice. It had a little bit of cover, so as a ginger that burns, I sat towards the front and was able to stay mostly out of the sun the entire trip We were able to learn so much about the land, cruised next to a massive pod of dolphins and went in two caves. It was amazing. When we got to the snorkel spot they brought out some drinks and snacks. Snacks included fresh pineapple, chips and granola bars. They do have a bathroom on board for emergencies....but they let you know straight up it's not something you WANT to use if you can avoid it. My only complaint is that they didn't urge people to stay seated on the ride back. This older gentleman decided to come up and stand right next to me to jump and ride the waves? And kept slamming into me and stepping on my feet. Our bench was full so I had no room to move over. I asked him nicely to stop and he ignored me, and the guides ignored him. There are signs all over saying to stay seated when the boat is moving.

We actually got a nice upgrade! Originally we booked the Imiloa Express but they what to do maintenance on the boat so we were moved to the Lucky Lady! It was an all female crew which I love! Those ladies were amazing. So incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. We learned so much history and had a fun time just chatting. They provided a buffet with kalua pork and tacos, drinks, and chips. It was honestly really good! They also had amenities for those who got sea sick. I've never been one to get sea sick or car sick but I took Dramamine just in case and am glad I did based on how many people were sick! Trust me, just take it. Better safe than sorry bc those poor people looked miserable. They are not kidding when they say you'll get wet!! The ride is ROUGH for a good portion of the trip. But once you get to the coast and hit calm waters it's well worth it. One our trip, we saw dolphins, a rainbow, and at the end we saw the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen right on the water. Does it get any better??

We were able to go into a few sea caves and even went under a small waterfall. On the way back, our captain gave us a much more adventurous ride! It's definitely not for the faint of heart. We were jamming to music, jumping waves, and getting completely sprayed with water. If you get motion sick I would take their recommendation to medicate and medicate again after you eat! Such a fun experience from start to finish!

Our tour included 2 zip lines, so enough to fulfill the need to fly but not hours of zip-lines back-to-back. This tour is more about the kayak up the river and the hike through some beautiful, undisturbed nature.

For most recreational sailors, 20-knot winds with 5-foot seas would be considered moderately rough…read moreto challenging, depending on the boat and the crew. Here's a practical classification: * Wind: 20 knots (23 mph) * Fresh breeze (Beaufort Force 5) * Whitecaps are common. * Reefing the sails is often recommended. * Experienced sailors generally enjoy these conditions. * Beginners may find them intimidating. * Seas: 5 feet * Moderate waves with regular swells. * Boats will pitch and roll noticeably. * Spray over the bow is common. * Can become uncomfortable, especially for smaller boats. Overall rating * For a 20- to 30-foot sailboat: Challenging. Suitable only for experienced sailors. * For a 35- to 45-foot cruising sailboat: Moderate to moderately rough. Manageable with proper sail handling. * For beginners or passengers: Rough and potentially uncomfortable. If you're asking about a sailing excursion in Kauaʻi I'd classify 20 knots and 5-foot seas as: * Marginal to poor for a leisurely sightseeing sail. * Acceptable for experienced crews on larger, well-equipped catamarans. * Not ideal if your goal is a smooth, relaxing cruise or if you have balance issues or are prone to seasickness. Given what I know about your mobility and balance, I would recommend waiting for conditions closer to: * Wind: 10-15 knots or less * Seas: 2-4 feet Those conditions are generally much more comfortable and enjoyable for most passengers. This a money making joke. I tried to get a refund because I walk with a cain. There response tuff luck I should not have booked.

DRAMAMINE, y'all…read more You're choosing to do the Na'Pali coast from the North Shore, which means smaller boats, and choppier waves. I took one Dramamine, the night before. Then another, an hour before our departure. AND THE BOAT RIDE WAS GREAT. I was all smiles and adventure and breathing -in the ocean air and wind! Unlike, a few folks, who were NOT doing so well. (One or two barfed over the side, but thankfully I didn't notice. Know how your body handles boats and waves. Don't do tours like this, without proper prep. It will NOT be fun if you underestimate it.) Check-In staff was super friendly, and personal. They remembered me from my original email. Sweet. Parking was easy. Shuttles team was super friendly. The strangers we rode with, all turned out to be cool. 2 boats go out (mini-catamarans, with cover from the sun). They expertly traverse the waves, and cliffs, and the caves, giving you some amazing first-hand visuals and photos. But yeah, that boat will be a rockin', during those up-close cave moments. Spoiler: You probably won't see whales, unless you're there before May. But we DID see a cute pod of Dolphins, who cozy'd up to our boat for a while. Our boat had Casey and Spencer. They were wise beyond their years, in all things Kauai. Funny and friendly. Spencer navigated the heck out of those waves, while Casey handled the nauseous passengers with MOTHERLY CARE. Spencer was 50/50 on allowing us to snorkel, based on conditions and a previous scare, a few weeks prior. But he ultimately made the call to GET IN THE WATER. He wisely kept us on a leash (not literally), whistling at swimmers when they got too close to a reef (with waves that could wash you onto the reef). It was fun and chill. Saw a HUGE, MASSIVE KING DADDY SEA TURTLE. He did not enjoy us as much as we enjoyed him and he bounced. Followed by a JR. Turtle, who stuck around a bit longer. Tons of fish. Spencer & Casey gave us good food and hike recommendations, and everyone treated us like friends / family. Highly recommend this team if you're going out. And you already know I highly recommend some Dramamine.
