It was a perfect day for my wife and me. Very well organized and the pilot was very helpful and kindly. Took time to show us all aspects of security. Gave a lot of explanations during the flight. Many thanks for this outstanding trip

This boat tour was the highlight of our trip! Captain Mike was funny and a great driver! His crew was also great at telling us about the coast, wildlife and history of Kaua'i. We were able to snorkle and I had a misshapen with the snorkle gear and they helped me through the issue and really made me feel comfortable snorkeling (my first time). The crew was funny and really made the boat tour the best it could be. We also saw many dolphins and humpback whales! If you only do one thing on Kaua'i you have to do the tour with the Napl'i Kai 3 boat tour with Captain Mike!
Thank you so much for your beautiful feedback, Michelle! We are so happy you had a great time on our NaPali coast tour with Captain Mike and our crew. We hope to see you folks again!

Just before, we switched to a small boat, and it was very rocky and challenging, but the Napali Coast and Whale Watch were amazing.

Very knowledgeable Pilot. The views were majestic and gave me little room for surpassing this experience in any other location. The Jurassic trail was overwhelmingly beautiful. The Napali coast line is like a dream. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for Steven as your pilot.

The boat itself was nice and the crew were lovely. Thankfully there was a place to hide slightly from the waves but it's also where the sea sickness gets really bad. My 14 son started to not feel well then a lady across from him got sick so that didn't help.
When they say it's an "adventure and you WILL get wet" they aren't lying. There were huge ups and downs and everyone was soaked.
The food was good and again the crew was lovely.
Definitly not a "smooth dinner cruise"

Booking this activity was a breeze and emailed instructions made it very helpful. This was my husband and I's favorite thing we were able to do in Kauai. The views you are able to see from the helicopter with the doors off was amazing.
Aloha and mahalo nui loa for the kind words! 🌺 We're so happy to hear that booking was smooth and that flying with us ended up being your favorite part of your Kaua‘i adventure—what a compliment! 🚁💨 The doors-off views really are something special, and we’re thrilled you got to experience the island’s beauty from that unforgettable perspective.

This time I brought my parents specially to celebrate my moms birthday. She was scare at first but as we started seeing the valleys and the blue water she enjoy to the point to even cry to see such a beautiful place . My dad was so exited he jump for a swim .

About ten years ago, I visited Kauai and, since seeing the view from the Kalalau Lookout, I had always wanted to see the Na Pali Coast from a boat someday. This time, I decided to go to Hawaii and Kauai, and I signed up for this tour in Japan.
I think it was a great experience. Being able to see the beauty of the Na Pali Coast with my own eyes was invaluable. If possible, I would have liked to see a bit further along the coast. I also enjoyed the beautiful long beaches of Barking Sands Beach and Polihale State Park on the way to the Na Pali Coast. The day before, I drove to a bit beyond Barking Sands Beach to an unpaved area, but I thought it wouldn't be easy to reach Polihale.
I'm not good at snorkeling, so I didn't snorkel off the coast of Niihau, but I wish I had at least swum a little with fins. There were 33 participants that day, and I was the only Japanese person. Everyone else was snorkeling. The scenery of Niihau also left an impression on me.
The captain explained things well. I didn't understand much of the explanations in English, though. It was a tour where I truly felt the scale and greatness of nature at the Na Pali Coast. It left a strong impression on me.
Before going, I was concerned about driving there, but I am grateful that I was able to go safely. I realized once again that it's important to plan and prepare thoroughly in advance. I thank the captain and the two crew members.
10年くらい前にカイアウ島へ行ったことがあり、カララウ展望台からの景色を見たときから、ナ・パリ・コーストをいつか船上から是非見てみたいと思っていました。今回、思い切ってハワイ島、カウアイ島へ行くことにし、日本でこのツアーに参加申し込みをしていました。
実際に行って、大変良かったと思います。ナ・パリ・コーストの美しさを実際に自分の目で見れたことは何にも代えがたいです。できれば、コーストのもう少し先まで見てみたいと思いました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストへ行くまでのバーキングサンズビーチ、ポリハレ州立公園のきれいな長いビーチも良かったと思います。前日にバーキングサンズビーチの少し先あたりの舗装されていないところまで車で行きましたが、ポリハレまで行くのは容易でないと思っていました。
シュノーケリングは不得手で、ニイハウ島沖でのシュノーケリングはしませんでしたが、フィンをつけて少し泳ぐだけでもすればよかったと思っています。当日は33名の参加で、日本人は私だけでした。他の人は皆、シュノーケリングをしていました。ニイハウ島の景色も印象に残りました。
キャプテンもよく説明されていました。英語での説明はほとんどわかりませんでしたが。
ナ・パリ・コーストのスケールの大きさ、自然の偉大さを実感したツアーでした。とても印象に残ります。
行く前は現地での車の運転等、気にしていましたが、無事、行くことができて有難く思っています。事前の計画、準備をしっかりしておくことが大事だとあらためて思いました。キャプテン、2人のクルーに感謝します。

The meeting place was a bit hard to find... There are companies with similar names, it's set back, the sign is small, and it shares a building with several travel agencies. Other than that, the explanations were clear, and both the pilot and the receptionist were efficient and kind. It was quieter than the helicopter and Beachcraft. I used it on the third day after my arrival. I had driven around the Waimea Canyon area on the second day, so I had a rough idea of the island's geography, but from the air, the vastness of the canyon, the flowing water, the dry red soil, the green forests, and the savanna-like low shrubs and short plant colonies were all clearly defined and dynamic under the sun.
I have a desire to challenge myself with several trekking courses, but by the time I finally had some free time, I wasn't confident in my legs and back, so I was glad I chose the scenic flight for safety. The top of Mount Waialeale (the highest point on Kauai) was covered in clouds, so I couldn't see it, but it was a day with few clouds, allowing me to overlook almost the entire island. I was very satisfied.
集合場所がちょっとわかりづらい・・・かな。 似たような名前の会社もあり、奥まっている、看板が小さい、いくつかの旅行会社とシェアしている建物だったので。
それ以外は、説明もわかりやすく、パイロットさんも受付さんもテキパキ親切。ヘリコプターやビーチクラフトよりも静かです。利用したのは到着から3日目。2日目にワイメアキャニオン周辺をドライブしたので、おおよその島の地理は頭に入っていたけれど、空中からですと、キャニオン部分の広さや、水の流れている場所、乾いた赤土と緑の森、サバンナのような低木と背の低い植物のコロニー、太陽の下、しっかり色分けされていてダイナミックでした。
いくつものトレッキングコースに挑戦したい気持ちはありますが、ようやく暇になった頃には足腰に自信が無く、安全第一で遊覧飛行を選んで良かったです。
ワイアレアレ山(カウアイ島で一番標高が高い)の頂部分だけは、雲に覆われていて眺めることができませんでしたが、ほぼ全島が見渡せるほどに雲が少ない日でした。大満足です。

The captain and crew were outstanding and made the trip very enjoyable. The food portions were on the small side. While the tour was advertised as open bar, it was very limited. It also only opened during the last two hours of the trip. I found that to be misleading.
I would definitely shop around a little more the next time.

Five years ago, I saw the Na Pali Coast on a cruise, but at my husband's strong request, we participated in a helicopter tour. I was able to understand the safety video before boarding thanks to the Japanese subtitles. I had two concerns: motion sickness and the fast-paced English explanations, but there were no problems at all. I took some motion sickness medication just in case, but the ride was very smooth with no turbulence, and above all, the scenery was so stunning that there was no time to feel nauseous.
What made it even better was that the pilot spoke fluent Japanese. We were the only Japanese people on board; the others were from the mainland, but with the interpretation provided, everyone felt friendly and welcoming. It was a fantastic tour that was worth every penny.
5年前にクルーズでナパリコーストを見ましたが
主人のたっての希望でヘリコプターツアーに参加しました
乗る前の安全ビデオも日本語字幕で理解できました
不安な点が2つ、乗り物酔いと早口英語での解説、でしたが全く
問題無し
一応酔い止めは飲みましたが、とてもスムーズで揺れもなく快適、なにより
あまりに素晴らしい景色で酔う暇無いです
そしてさらに良かったのがパイロットの方が流暢な日本語でお話しして下さいました、日本人は私達だけて他は本土からの方々でしたが
通訳していだたき参加している皆んなフレンドリーな感じに包まれました。
