5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

Makana Charters is the best!

Reviewed by: Nicole T.

I highly recommend Makana Charters for your tour of the Na Pali coast! Capt. Rob, Leroy, and Bobby were the best crew! They were friendly, knowledgeable, and entertaining! We enjoyed the stories and Hawaiian tradition around the various stops along the way. I was impressed that Bobby remembered every person's name on the boat and showed a genuine interest in each and every one. Leroy even took song requests! The water was a bit choppy the day we went, but that made it all the more fun! We enjoyed the amazing sights of the Na Pali coast, the cave and waterfall, the dolphins swimming right under the kids' feet off of the bow, the sea turtle waving hello, and the snorkeling. The sandwiches were delicious, too! I would definitely book with Makana Charters again! We had a blast!

3-Hour Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Morning Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical

Fantastic Experience!

Reviewed by: Leilani Fox

My family and I (two kids 11 and 8 plus my spouse) had a blast on the Spirit of Aloha Kohala Coast Snorkel Tour with Lunch & Drinks - Hawaii Nautical / Snorkel Sail. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer! Our captain was entertaining, the crew knowledgeable, and the facilities were clean. Equipment was sufficient and the waters were clear and calm. I highly recommend!

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

This review is for the non-swimmers

Reviewed by: Tina

This was an amazing experience in every way!
The boat ride felt like a roller coaster ride, the sightseeing was breathtaking, the crew was so friendly and kept us entertained with all the knowledge and stories about the island and lastly the snorkeling experience was so refreshing!! I am a non swimmer and so a big paranoid in very deep water, even with my floaties!! But leeroy took such good care of me when I was snorkeling, he even took me for a ride in the water with a tube, so that I could see more fishes and get a complete experience, it was amazing!!!

The whole crew is amazing, captain Rob, Kana with the storytelling skills and Ofcourse Leroy, they all make such a a amazing team. Will be back soon!

貸切ボートチャーター 野生のイルカウォッチング&シュノーケリング付きクルーズ ご家族やお友達だけで特別なクルーズ体験!<日本語ガイド/ワイキキ&コオリナ送迎>

I was able to see wild dolphins and whales. 野生のイルカウォッチングと鯨もみえました

Reviewed by: H&A

The private boat charter was a great help for families with small children. Since there were many little kids, it was really nice for us parents not to have to worry about other customers being around. Not only did we go wild dolphin watching, but we were also lucky enough to see whales. The dolphins swam alongside the boat, and we were able to see them up close, which was incredibly cute. I definitely want to participate again, but when I tried to make the next reservation, it seemed that my next visit to Hawaii was fully booked, so I couldn't reserve. I'm really disappointed... I wish I had planned earlier.

貸切ボートチャーターは小さい子連れには助かりました。小さい子供が多かったので、他のお客様がいないことは親としては気を遣わなくてとってもよかったです。野生のイルカウォッチングだけでなく、運が良くクジラを見る事ができました。イルカが船に合わせて泳いでくれたのか、近くでみることができてとってもかわいかったです。ぜひまた参加したいと思い、次の予約をしようと思いましたら次のハワイ訪問日はいっぱいのようで、
予約できなくて残念です。。。もっと早く計画しておけばよかったです。

We did a shorter sunset cruise, and the captain and crew were able to navigate windy conditions incredibly. Most of us on board did not have sea legs, and ended up loving the experience. Would 100% book again!

サンドバー キャプテンブルース 天国の海®︎ シュノーケリング貸切クルーズ 豪華なラウンジボートやスピードボートでプライベート時間を満喫<6名まで/英語クルー>

It was truly the best! 本当に最高でした!

Reviewed by: カオリ

I used a private speedboat. The first half had bad weather and it rained, but thanks to Captain Kekko's consideration, we were able to spend our time comfortably. The weather improved in the second half, and we enjoyed snorkeling, making it a fantastic experience. I would like to use this service again.
P.S. I think choosing the right season is important. The low ratings are mostly in March.

貸切スピードボートで利用しました。
前半は天気が悪く、雨も降りましたが、キャプテンケッコーの気遣いもあり、快適に過ごせました。
後半は天気も良くなり、シュノーケリングも楽しめましたし、最高の体験をすることができました。
また利用したいと思います。

季節選びは重要だと思います。

Thank you for participating in the Captain Bruce's Paradise Ocean Tour. The weather in Hawaii can be unpredictable, and it's not uncommon for it to suddenly rain even when it seems sunny during the tour. That's why our staff prays every day, "May the weather be nice!"

The Paradise Ocean offers different scenery depending on the month and the weather, so we would be delighted if you could join us again. Captain and crew are looking forward to seeing you!

Mahalo!

この度はキャプテンブルース天国の海ツアーにご参加いただきありがとうございました。
ハワイの天候は変わりやすく、ツアー中も晴れていたと思ったら突然雨が降り出すこともありますね。なので毎日スタッフ一同”天気になあれ~”とお祈りしております。
月によって、天気によって異なる風景を見せてくれる天国の海ですので、またぜひご参加いただけましたら幸いです。キャプテン&クルーもお待ちしております!

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

Wonderful boat tour with experienced staff

Reviewed by: Daniel

The Napali coast boat tour was definitely worth our time and money. The 5-hour or so tour was filled with constant activities, with experienced captain and the crew. The 20-or-so person boat was comfortable with the front-facing seats and a clean bathroom. It was also newly cleaned and painted. The captain also maneuvered through the caves and shore with experience, providing good opportunities for the pictures. The tour also provided an ample time for a snorkeling towards the end. It was definitely something we would recommend.

Dinner cruise

Reviewed by: Linda

This cruise was great! The captain and crew were so knowledgeable about the area and were extremely concerned for everyone's safety and experience. They let us know when the water would get rough and warn people of the possibility of getting wet, were diligent when someone was getting sea sick. They made the rounds to visit, offered to take photos, and helped people get seated safely with their dinner and drink in tact. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Loved it!♥️♥️♥️We attended on our 43rd wedding anniversary.!

I was moved. 感動しました

Reviewed by: ますこ

Since we had a large group, mostly consisting of people in their 60s and above, we decided to rent a private boat. It was great to be able to do things at our own pace. The captain was cheerful and charming, which made the experience very enjoyable. Although some members of our group didn't understand any English, it was very helpful that they used simple words. Even though it was a private boat, there were other participants nearby, and having Japanese staff made us feel at ease. The spam onigiri that was provided as a snack was delicious.

大人数で、60代以上が多かったので思い切って貸切ボートにしました。色々とマイペースにできてよかったです。船長さんも明るく可愛いかたでとても楽しめました。英語は少しもわからないメンバーでしたが、簡単な単語を使ってくれてとても助かりました。貸切ボートといっても、アクティビティは他の参加者さんもちかくにいるので、日本人スタッフもいて安心できました。

Highly recommend!

Reviewed by: Anita

We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. We had a one year old and three year old with us, and the whole family had a great time. The crew was amazing, the boat was clean, and the drinks were strong. My husband usually gets sea sick, but this was the first time he was completely fine. The boat is big and stable. The crew had several drink choices, snacks, and even brought out teriyaki rice bowls for everyone. They let my three year drive the boat, which made his whole trip. We’re definitely going again on this next time we’re on the Big Island.

Waikiki Private Burial at Sea Cruise on Luxury Yacht - PCK Nautical

Very Considerate and Well Run with Deference to the Occasion

Reviewed by: L. Zane

I truly appreciated the thoughtfulness and deference of PCK Nautical's crew shown to me and my family member on the occasion of my mother's sea burial. The service was simple and respectful. The captain chose a beautiful quiet spot where I dispersed my mother's ashes followed by rose petals, plumeria and the orchids unstrung from our lei. I thank Min and the crew of PCK Nautical for helping fulfill my mother's last wishes to return to her island.

The Hondo is comfortable and mid-sized with many onboard spots from which to view the ocean and Diamond Head. We felt safe under the care of the captian and crew.

5-Hour Liko Kauai Catamaran Tour - Na Pali Coast Sea Caves & Snorkel with Lunch

Awesome Napoli Coast

Reviewed by: Izabella

The boat ride was an amazing experience:) I didn’t know the only way to experience the Napali coast was by boat or helicopter. The views were magical and we got to take a lot of pictures of the sea cliffs up close. The whole experience had a magical few to it. We were able to snorkel and see turtles and many different types of fish. I was nervous about snorkeling but it turned out fine as long as you wear a yellow belt and don’t get caught in the current. I was able to take a bunch of pictures of the coastline, I also felt a spiritual energy. The guides were very informative about the Hawaiian spiritual practices and the different types of burials that were preformed in that region. I think you define get your money’s worth by going on this cruise. Each view is spectacular and picturesque. Also the lunch provided was flavorful and the chips were the best.
