Captain Beck was amazing. She deftly backed us into several caves for some amazing pictures and filled us in on the history of this area as we made our way past some of the most magnificent scenery on this planet. Dolphins accompanied us on the way out and on the way back a giant mother whale was teaching her calf how to breach and tail flop. A private charter is by far the best way to experience this incredible adventure. We highly recommend Komohana Chaters! read more

A great experience! Quite large waves on the day we went out. Koa is masterful on the water and so knowledgeable about the coast! His boat is wonderful. We started and ended our tour with dolphins swimming right next to us. I highly recommend this tour! Many thanks to Koa! read more

Our family had an amazing trip with Koa on his Komohana boat! Highly recommend Koa and Komohana! The perfect boat for a private group, and so much better than the bigger boats that pack dozens of people. Koa was a great captain with lots of local knowledge. we saw Dolphins and he let us sit up front to watch them swim right in front of us! He was a great boat driver getting us under waterfalls and into caves! Amazing views of the Napali coast and he took us all the way to the north edge. Snorkeling was great too by the reefs. I'll tell all my friends and family to go with Koa and Komohana when they come to Kauai! read more

Captain Koa is amazing! From start to end he did an excellent job. He met us very early in the morning. The boat was well equipped and ready to head out so we could beat the other charters going out. He was so kind and personable showing us an amazing experience . Our whole group agreed that it was the best day ever! I would highly recommend both Captain Koa and Komohana Charters. read more

Komohana Charters - Amazing Boat. - Fishing Near Me

Last minute decision, we called KOA at 9AM and were heading towards the Na Pali coast by 11:15 Had an absolute blast. KOA was super accommodating. To be 100% candid, when we arrived, we had some reservations as the boat seemed small, but after the day was over, we realized it was the perfect size. KOA took us in places that the larger boats just couldn't fit. He was very friendly, informative, professional, yet laid pack. Great tunes, awesome tours, price was very reasonable. I highly recommend calling him if you have a small group and want a private excursion. Will definitely call him when we return to Kauai read more

Perfect way to see the Na Pali Coast! The boat was in excellent condition, the company was easy to communicate with and book, the captain was prompt and very fun and personable! He was such a fun, knowledgable captain! read more

We booked this morning boat tour for our group 30th birthday celebration, and it was absolutely unforgettable! Captain Koa showed us the best time--he was fun, welcoming, and shared amazing stories and history about Kauai. We saw hundreds of dolphins and tons of whales--it was truly magical. The whole experience blew us away. We wouldn't even consider going with any other company after this. Highly, highly recommend! read more

So happy we went with Koa and Komohana! We got a tip from a local about Komohana and really glad we found them. Four things about Komohana that are amazing and much better than a larger tour group: 1. Picks up further out, closer to Napoli coast. We had to drive a little further out, but it saved us time on the boat to reach Napali. We also got to go further north along the coast because of that too! 2. Locally owned boat. Koa is awesome and so glad to go directly with a local :) 3. Small tour, more intimate experience 4. Smaller boat and Koa goes INTO the caves. Seriously, IN there! Koa definitely knows how to drive that boat and got us into caves no other boat would go near. It was amazing! Highly recommend this company for Napali boat and snorkel tour. So grateful we found you, Koa! read more

Another charter company cancelled on us at the last second during our trip. After some scrambling, I found Komohana and after explaining our situation to Koa, he made room for us on his schedule and off we went. I'm so glad it worked out like that. We had an amazing trip with Koa. Dolphins, caves, snorkeling (and an unfortuate encounter with a Portuguese Man O' War jellyfish (it sounds much worse than it is). We had a really excellent time and if you're up for a private charter (highly recommended) I would suggest you book with Komohana. read more

We have done the big company Na Pali tours in the past and this was by far and away much more superior. The experience was incredible, it was private and personalized. Koa was not only knowledgeable of the history of Kauai he is also just a down to earth good guy. I have to be honest I was a bit skeptical because it was a smaller boat but it was so much better my previous experience. Koa knows his $h!t. If you are adventurous this is the one for you! read more

Our group of 4 had an incredible morning on the Na'Pali Coast boat tour with Captain Koa. He accommodated our last minute booking and we were so lucky to have found him. Super laid-back local guy who just wants his guests to have fun and enjoy the experience. Our original charter was cancelled due to a high surf warning (12-16' waves) but Koa said it would be "an adventure" and made it happen. We felt completely safe the whole time. The high surf made it difficult to enter the sea caves but the monster waves crashing against the coastline with the mountains overhead was truly a sight to see. On the way he found some dolphins and we sat on the front of the boat while they swam alongside us. On the way back to the dock he let us drag some fishing lines and we caught a few fish. Unbelievable day. Koa's boat is awesome. Fit 4 comfortably with plenty of room for additional guests. Recently painted and updated. Clean and functional with a booming sound system as well. Highly recommend Koa and Komohana Charters. Would definitely use him again. read more

If you are looking for a private charter in Kauai I highly recommend Koa and Komohana Charters. Great captain and fisherman!!

Our experience with Komohana Charters from inquiry to tour was top notch, 5 stars! From my initial inquiry, Bethany was prompt to address all my questions and was so sweet and kind to work with. We reserved a private tour for our family (husband, myself and our 7 year old son) We are truly honored to have Koa guide us through the Na'Pali Coast. We have toured the Na'Pali coast multiple times and this tour tops them all. Koa is an amazing captain. He's like Aquaman - he knows the waves and how to navigate his boat. He was kind enough to take photos/videos for us and gave us enough time to enjoy the beauty the Na'Pali Coast has to offer. I especially appreciated his attentiveness towards our 7 year old son. Although he had been on the Na'Pali Coast prior to our tour, it was his first time snorkeling in open water. Koa helped him put on his life vest, I could tell my little one was a little nervous but Koa began encouraging him and eventually our little guy built up enough courage and jumped off. Koa even assisted quickly with helping our little guy with his snorkel gear once we realized water got into his goggles cus his hair was caught in it. It's really these little things that makes these tours so amazing. This company truly cares about their guest and like I said - it was truly an honor to be a guest on your boat. Thank you, Koa and Bethany! We cannot wait to book another adventure with you! Mahalo! read more

Best charter on the island! From start to finish the boat ride was amazing! Koa is a super personable and cool captain that is very familiar with the area. We were able to swim, learn about the land and see marvelous landscapes. The Na Pali coast is one of the most beautiful places on earth - highly recommend doing it with a captain like Koa who knows the coast well. 10/10 for Komohana Charters. read more

We were very happy to find Captain Koa and Komohana charters! We had 6 people and were looking for a more personal tour than the cattle boats you see advertised in the airport. Komohana charters delivered! We were able to get into the smaller caves on the Na Pali coast and see monk seals, we also saw a ton of spinner dolphins and got into the waterfalls in the caves. Captain Koa is a very cool guy and knows all the native history of the Na Pali coast. I would definitely recommend captain Koa and Komohana charters if you're looking for an awesome personalized tour with some great island music! read more

Komohana Charters - Waterfall inside sea cave. - Fishing Near Me

Our family of 4 with 2 older teens thoroughly enjoyed this experience! The cliffs are incredible, the sea caves are really cool, Being that the boat is smaller we could navigate the sea caves where the bigger boats could only watch us from a distance. We even threw the fishing line out while we were going slower. We managed to catch 2 fish while enjoying the sights. We saw a large pod of Spinner dolphins up close and personal and they gave us a nice show. We saw other pods of dolphins along the way and saw numerous turtles too. The water coming back was a bit rough as the wind had picked up but captain Koa knows what he is doing out there and we knew we were in good hands- it made for a fun ride. Being a Catamaran the boat was more stable than a lot of the other boats we saw out there and with a max passenger limit of 6 it was more intimate and we could do what our group wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. read more

This was the BEST part of our trip!! Captain Koa is fantastic! Literal dream come true, saw so many dolphins. I did a ton of research and if you want a personalized tour of the Napoli Coast this is the boat you want. Also his music was on point! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to experience the beauty of Kauai up close and personal. Can't say enough about this boat trip! read more

Best guide ever ! Got to see so many dolphins, turtles, eels, and other cool sea creatures. Taught us a lot about the history of the places. Absolutely beautiful! Bc the boat is smaller too we got to go into some of the caves, super fun tour ! read more

Fantastic,personalized tour up the Na Pali coast. The Koali Anona is a great way to see the beautiful coast as Captain Koa added stories of the history along the coast. We came upon a large pod of dolphins and Koa let us watch them as long as we wanted. Later on we got to swim in the pristine blue waters. Great personal attention. This is a charter that really caters to your personal tastes. We can't wait to go back for another tour. read more
