First of all, don't let the name fool you. This is not a Catamaran. It is a smaller, lower profile boat and, if the water is rough, you will certainly feel it if you tend to get any kind of motion sickness. Weather was off and on rainy/seas choppy. As snorkeling goes, there was nothing to see because of bad... More

Family run/owned business. Friendly/down to earth people. Catamaran trip was amazing. This was the most worthwhile and memorable part of 9+ day trip to Kauai. Lars and Nisha Chapel Hill, NC More

This is a must do. I read the review for this company in "Kauai Revealed" which said they were the best & I feel they are right! Nick & Johnny were the guides on the afternoon trip we took. This would be the 1 I would recommend so that you can get Great photos in the Lava caves that they... More

We had the best ending to a vacation when our catamaran and snorkeling trip had to be postponed due to rough weather...we rebooked for the last day of our time in Kauai, hoping the weather would cooperate and it did! Our guides were great (Sam and Kyle) and it was a spectacular day. This boat is very solid and yet... More

We actually went a little further back than it would let me select but this was close enough. We went on this tour on our Honeymoon and it was a lovely experience. There were PLENTY of picture taking opportunities which was nice. We were able to get some beautiful pictures. We were on the afternoon trip which was very nice,... More

Had the best time on this trip. Captain Kevin took time to search for whales, and we spent 15 mins up close to a small pod of 3 whales. Awesome! Bad weather in hanalei turned to to pure sunshine along the coast. Kevin and Kyle were excellent hosts, mixing island history with good humor. Sandwiches etc were tasty. Only downside... More

The Captain and guide were fantastic, and the trip is a must if you're anywhere near Kauai. This is the only outfitter we found on the North Shore, all the others left out of Port Allen on the south side. If you are staying near Hanalei, use this group. The others will tell you that the drive south is only... More

The captain was a great one, a local, who really knew his stuff and explained himself well. I liked the fact that we set out from the north side so that we spent more time on the breath-taking and magnificent Napali coast than if we had come from the south ports. He gave us plenty of time (an hour) to... More
