There are only two ways to see the Na Pali Coast - helicopter or boat. BUT only by boat can you get up close and personal to the rugged coastline. In our case we got to go just a little ways into one of the incredible caves. Wow! Our entire family (from kids to grandparents) enjoyed this tour and would... More

While I'm disappointed that weather did not premit us from continuing our journey of the NaPali coast, the staff on the boat was amazing! Chris, who seemed to be the deck hand, had to be one of the nicest people we encountered on Kauai. Always checking in to make sure everyone was okay, very informative (but casual). Helped keep everyone... More

The tour leaders are very personable, very knowledgeable, and obviously totally captivated by the wildlife around Kauai. We saw literally 100 whales in a single 5 hour cruise. Many dolphins. Incredible scenery of the Na Pali coast. We went into the caves (this is smaller power boat that fits in where the big sails cannot). Lunch was good. I would... More

This is a very comfortable double Catamaran and it DOES gave a bathroom And the there is a canopy over several rows of seats. I spend the winters in Kauai and in the past 5 years I've done this cruise 21 times. I LOVE the crew, you can tell they love what they do. You can also tell by all... More

These folks have a great website - take a nice look, because that's as good as it will get. The boat is old, diesel, no cabin, inadequate shelter from sun and wind (and rain) and vibrates like it has a bent prop. FORGET about using the bathroom, you get tossed around so much on this narrow boat with bench seating.... More

I like the concept of 'small group tours' and am happy to pay a little bit more for the experience. It was certainly delivered with the snorkelling tour of the Napali coast. We saw dolphins, flying fish and even swam with the giant turtles! Brilliant.... and the scenery well, the photos speak for themselves. Our guide and captain both seemed... More

This was an excellent trip. The captain and tour guide were very friendly and engaging. They were obviously very proud of their home island and it was like being shown around the NaPali Coast by old friends. Though the boat doesn't look like much from shore, it is very smooth and stable in the waves. The boat is in mint... More

The guides were very informative and helpful. We have amazing pictures and saw tons of Dolphins. We went inside a cave and were very close to the coast line for great views. More

The Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor is in the middle of NOWHERE as far as the touristy south side of Kaua'i goes. But GO there ANYWAY!!! The Liko Kauai morning sightseeing & Snorkel Tour is AWESOME!!! Captain Rob and First Mate Brian made this experience one of the very best ever! Skilled, friendly, smart & handsome these two make you feel... More
