This is a must see. We only did the first couple miles, but it was worth it. The hike was hot and somewhat strenuous... and absolutely gorgeous. We had an amazing time. I hope to come back and hike more of the trail. We have never hiked in such an incredible spot.

Our family and friends were in Kauai this past week for the wedding of our daughter. We had the most memorable experience of seeing the Napoli coast on a catamaran through Liko. The coastline is truly spectacular and Liko provided such a fantastic trip. We saw schools and schools of spinner dolphins. My daughter wanted no more than to see... More

As a longtime sailor, I was looking forward to the sunset sail. But, as other reviews state, this is really a misnomer. What this is: a 4.5-hour high-speed catamaran trip with maybe 15 minutes of sailing. And once you go, you understand why: It's a very long way, 70 miles RT, from Port Allen to the Na Pali coast. We... More

I travel quite a bit and have to say that the Na Pali coast has to be the most breathtaking scenery I've encountered. So beautiful it's truly hard to believe it is real. We rode with Captain Matt & Heather, and they couldn't be more gracious, accommodating hosts. Very informative about the local flora and fauna, as well as interesting... More

We were lucky to be on the cruise ship. They made it a point to come here at 5:15pm. First it was so cloudy. I could not see much. Then the sun slowly started coming out. The captain went really slow. He took about 25 minutes to sail by. The sight is so majestic. I cannot handle small boats. The... More

What an amazing day! Perfect from beginning to end. We were greeted by a very friendly skipper Corey and walked to our beautiful boat. We were advised that the deck was a barefoot deck and we would store our shoes.. Be prepared for that.. A safe locked spot. Once on board the adventure began.. A very knowledgeable crew... Robert, Orion,... More

The Na Pali Coast is the nature highlight of Kauai. For travellers who are on a budget I would recommend taking a boat tour rather than a helicopter tour. The coast is full of different waterfalls and coves. During the tour we saw several sea turtles and dolphins. We stopped for snorkelling in a great area full of coral reefs... More

we took captain andy tours from port allen. The crew was extremely friendly and safety conscious. The captain pointed out some intersting information along the tour, and our kids loved the catamaran. I saw a sea turtle while snorkeling. We had a good lunch, and then headed back. Overall, I highly recommend. The scenary is beautiful and I highly recommend... More

We saw the coast with Captain Andy's Rafting Day Expedition. The ocean is super rough and you get soaking wet but it is fun! Only do it this way if you can cope with this type of thing - a couple of people (my husband included) got a little sea sick. Captain Andy's also have sailing cruises of the coast... More
