We had a great time doing this. The guys were super friendly and relaxed and nice. My brother and I had some experience with scuba, but our kids--ages 16, 13 and 11--did not. It was a quick orientation and we were in the water. We walked right in off the beach. The kids did great. My son had a little trouble being comfortable breathing through a regulator, but still enjoyed it. He just stayed up closer to the surface. The other two had no difficulty with it at all. I was actually surprised at all the different fish we saw. It's not like you're swimming with hundreds of fish all around you, but that's just not available in an outing like this. But it was a great experience that all of us enjoyed and it didn't have to be an all-day commitment.

My spouse and I participated together. I was anxious because I didn't understand English and there didn't seem to be any other participants from Japan, but the staff, who were from overseas, were very friendly and kind, making our time enjoyable. The drinks were delicious, and we were overwhelmed by the magnificent views of the Na Pali Coast! The sunset was beautiful, and we truly had a wonderful time. The only regret was that I wished we could have seen dolphins and whales. If I have the chance, I would love to participate again! ✌️
夫婦二人で参加させてもらいました。英語が分からず他に日本からの参加者も居ないようで不安でしたが、スタッフの方海外から参加された方が、とても気さくに優しく接してくれて楽しく過ごせました、飲み物も美味しく、雄大なナパリ・コーストの風景に圧倒されました!夕日も綺麗で、本当に楽しい時間を過ごす事ができました。ただ残念だったのは、イルカとクジラに会いたかったなという事です。機会があればまた参加したいです!✌️

I participated on the third day of my 10-day stay on Kauai Island, and I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Kauai for the first time!
You can have fun for almost an entire day, and while you’ll be exhausted, it’s perfect for creating lasting memories and getting great Instagram photos!
**Thoughts / What I Liked**
- It was just so much fun. Anyone going to Kauai for the first time absolutely must do this! My spouse and I had a blast.
- The boat stops almost at the entrance of the cave, allowing you to take photos at your leisure. The crew is also very proactive in taking pictures for you. During our trip, we stopped four times for about 10-15 minutes each to take photos of the cave, dolphins, the stunning cliffs, and the sunset.
- Seeing those breathtaking cliffs was amazing. We were also lucky enough to be surrounded by a pod of 10-20 dolphins, which was the highlight!
**Advice**
- Try to sit at the front of the cruiser. It’s super fun!
- Be prepared to get completely soaked! It’s best to wear clothes that you don’t mind getting wet. Your face will get drenched too, so be cautious with your makeup. It’s a good idea to bring a towel in a waterproof backpack.
- If you don’t want to get sunburned, you can either stay inside the cruiser or wear a long-sleeved shirt and a hat with a strap. Sunglasses are a must for everyone.
- The tour is conducted entirely in English, but don’t worry if you don’t understand everything; the essential communication can be conveyed through gestures.
- We departed around 9 AM and returned around 6 or 7 PM. By the time we got back, most shops were closed, and it was getting dark. Don’t forget where you parked your car!
カウアイ島に10日間の滞在の3日目に参加させてもらいましたが、
初めてカウアイ島に行く人はぜひ参加すべき!
ほぼ一日遊べてクタクタになりますが、
充実感と思い出作り、インスタ映えにも最適!
・感想 / 気に入ったところ
ーとにかく楽しかった。カウアイ島に初めて行く人は絶対に行くべき!
夫婦で大はしゃぎでした。
ー洞窟のほぼ入り口まで行き停まってくれるので、写真もゆっくり撮れます
し、クルーの方が積極的に撮ってくれます。僕らの時は、洞窟、イルカ、断
崖絶壁、サンセットタイムの4回、10-15分ほど停泊して撮影できました。
ーあの圧巻の断崖絶壁を観れたのは最高でした。そして、運よく10-20頭のイルカの群れにも囲まれたのも最高でした。
・アドバイス
ークルーザーの先端に座らせてもらいましょう。めちゃ楽しいです。
ーそして、とにかくズブ濡れになります!ので、上下含めて濡れてもよい格好にした方がいいです。顔もビシャビシャになるので、メイクにも気をつけて。濡れても染みないリュックにタオルを入れていった方がいいです。
ー焼けたくない人は、クルーザーの中にずっと入っているか、長袖マストの帽子も紐付きをオススメ。サングラスは全員マストでしょう。
ーツアーはフル英語で何を言ってるか分からないですが、特段必要な会話はジェスチャーで通じるのでご安心を。
ー朝9時くらい?に出発の戻りが18時か19時頃でした。
帰ってきたらお店回りもほぼ閉まっていて、薄暗かったです。
車の停車場所はお忘れなく。

We couldn't leave Kauai without experiencing the Na Pali Coast, so we participated as a couple. While we had significant dissatisfaction with the snorkeling point, we managed to tolerate it. The breakfast was good, and the original sandwiches we made for lunch were exceptionally delicious. The unlimited alcohol was a nice touch. We were very satisfied with the stunning views and the hospitality from the dolphins, turtles, and flying fish.

I headed to the meeting place (meeting time 3 PM) by rental car. The office is located in a building on the right side as you head towards the port, and just beyond that, there is a large parking lot where you can park. After parking, I checked in at the office by confirming the health status items displayed on the screen (all in English). At 3:10 PM, the captain arrived, called out names one by one to confirm everyone was present, and explained the precautions in English before heading to the port. Besides us, there was another Japanese family participating, but the other 12 or 13 groups were all foreigners. Before boarding, we took off our shoes and went barefoot, leaving our shoes in the designated area (some people chose to carry theirs on board).
We set sail at 3:30 PM. There were three staff members, including the captain (two men and one woman). At first, it was cloudy, and we could see rain falling in the distance over the sea, which made us worry about the weather. However, as we headed towards the Na Pali Coast, the skies cleared up. We enjoyed the cruise while having drinks and light snacks (like cheese and crackers), and after about an hour, we finally saw the towering cliffs.
From there, we were treated to breathtaking views that you can't find in Japan! After about an hour, we reached the end of the Na Pali Coast (slowing down the boat at various points to take in the scenery) and turned around. On the way back, we carefully navigated the boat into a spot where the cliffs had eroded, creating a cave-like area, which was a lot of fun. We were also shown a place where there were many sea turtles, and we were able to see two of them surface.
Around 6 PM, we had dinner (there were quite a few options for rice and side dishes). We also got to see dolphins, who jumped out of the water and spun around to greet us.
Finally, just after 7 PM, we counted down together for the moment the sunset hit the ocean, and there was applause at the moment of sunset! (For those who wanted, there was a toast with champagne!) After that, we were moved by the changing colors of the sky from sunset to night. We safely arrived back at the port at 7:30 PM and disbanded.
The captain provided explanations through the microphone while driving the boat, and the other two staff members were very friendly, chatting with us and taking pictures for us. I couldn’t drink alcohol since I had to drive back, but others enjoyed the "all-you-can-drink!" It was the best time ever.
レンタカーで集合場所(集合時間15時)に向かったのですが、港に向かって右側に事務所がある建物、その先すぐに広い駐車場があるので、そこに駐車してOK。事務所で画面に表示された当日の健康状態確認事項(すべて英語表記です)にチェックを入れて受付完了。15時10分船長さんが現れ、1組ずつ名前が呼ばれて全員集合を確認し、注意事項を英語で説明して港へ。私達以外に、もう1組日本人家族が参加していましたが、他の12,3組程度の方はすべて外国の方でした。乗船前に靴を脱いで裸足になり、靴置き場に預けます。(自分で持って乗る人もいました。)
15時30分出航。スタッフは船長さんを含めて3名(男性2名・女性1名)です。最初は曇っていて、海の遠方では、雨が降っているのが見えて、天気がどうなるか心配しましたが、ナパリコーストに向かう途中でどんどん晴れてきました。行きに飲み物と軽食(チーズやクラッカー等)を頂きながらクルーズを楽しみ、1時間ほど進むといよいよ断崖絶壁の山が見えてきます。
そこからは、日本にはない絶景をこれでもか!というくらい楽しめます。約1時間ほどでナパリコーストの端に到着(途中ポイント・ポイントで船の速度を落として景色を堪能します)してUターン。戻る途中、絶壁が削れていて少し洞窟みたいなっている所に船を慎重に入れて楽しみます。また、ウミガメがたくさん居る所を案内してくれて、2匹水面に現れて見ることができました。18時頃、夕食を食べました。(ご飯、おかず、結構種類がありました。)また、イルカにも会えて、水面から飛び上がり、くるくる回転して歓迎してくれました。
いよいよ19時ちょっと過ぎに、海面に夕日が沈む瞬間を、皆でカウントダウンして、日没の瞬間に拍手!!(希望者にはシャンペンで乾杯!)その後、空が夕焼けから夜に向かう色の変化に感動し、19時30分、無事港に到着し解散となりました。
船長さんは運転しながら、マイクで所々説明をしてくれ、残りの2名のスタッフは、フレンドリーに話しかけてくれたり、カメラのシャッターを押してくれたり、とても親切でした。私は帰りに車を運転しなければならなかったので、アルコールは飲めませんでしたが、他の方はまさに「飲み放題!」
最高のひと時でした。

This was an excellent way to explore the ocean without having experience in scuba diving. Kevin was patient, informative, and an overall great guide. My only advice is to consider the excursion before committing. The water can be a bit rough and there is a good deal of information to consider. My wife backed out at the last minute but she was also on the fence about going in the first place. My 15 and 11 year old had a great time as did I.

The meeting at the Port Allen office was scheduled for 3:00 PM, but I parked a bit early at 2:30 PM in the parking lot behind the "Holo Holo Charters" sign in the back of the building. There were quite a few cars, so it was good that I arrived early to park.
Before the meeting, I checked in at the office. I signed the "consent form" on a touch panel and wandered around the nearby shops until the meeting time. The restroom is located behind the office.
When it was time, we gathered in the square in front of the office, and the captain called out names, to which we responded. After roll call, we headed to the port. Before boarding, we took off our shoes and placed them in a shoe bin to go barefoot. It was a good decision to wear flip-flops.
Those who boarded early went to the back of the boat. We didn't make it in time and ended up sitting at a table inside, but it turned out to be convenient during the meal. We could move around during the trip and enjoy the scenery.
As soon as we set off, we were served alcohol, soft drinks, crackers, and cheese. We moved quickly towards the Na Pali Coast. The view of the Na Pali Coast from the boat was breathtaking!
On the way back, we had dinner (tacos) and were also given cookies. (Some people put their cookies in a paper plate and Ziploc bag to take home.) Throughout the trip, drinks were available for free. There were also two restrooms, so it was comfortable to drink.
Although we didn't see any dolphins, we were lucky to spot whales a few times even though it was May. The sunset that day was truly wonderful, with no clouds to obstruct the view.
It became a great memory of Kauai. We returned to the port around 7:30 PM after about four hours on the water. Since the boat was constantly moving, I think those who are prone to seasickness should take medication.
The inside of the boat with a roof wasn't cold, but since it was moving, I recommend bringing a light windbreaker to enjoy the view. Some people might also need sunscreen.
We were the only Japanese people on board, and everything was in English, but the two crew members were very kind, and the service was excellent, making for a really enjoyable time.

We were caught in a little rain along the way, but the boat took us into the steep cliffs and the entrance of a cave, and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of nature. I even saw a whale's tail dancing on the surface of the water in the distance. On our way back, while watching the sunset over the sea and nearing the port, the last song that played was "Let It Be," which really touched me. The captain and the crew were all very friendly. I was disappointed that I couldn't drink beer since I had to drive. The parking lot is dark and not very busy at night, so be sure not to leave any valuables in the car.
途中少し雨に降られましたが、切り立った断崖や、洞窟の入り口まで船が入り、大自然に圧倒されました。遠くに鯨の尾びれが水面に舞うのも見れました。帰路につく中、海に沈む夕陽を見ながらもうすぐ港という時に、最後に流れた曲がLet it be、思わずジーンときました。船長もクルーも皆さんフレンドリーです。自分は運転しなければならなかったので、ビールが飲めなくて残念でした。駐車場は、夜は暗くて人気が少ないので、社内に貴重品を残さないように。

There was live ukulele music on board playing EZ songs, which was great, but if you're just looking to see the Na Pali Coast, this cruise was fantastic.

This snorkel sail was by far the highlight of our vacation in Kauai. For years I've dreamed of sailing along the Na Pali coast and it was more beautiful than I ever imagined. The emerald cliffs were absolutely breathtaking. Other passengers spotted whales breaching the water nearby but I couldn't take my eyes of the coast. As we began our sail back to the harbor we were accompanied by a pod of dolphins who swam alongside and in front of our boat for several minutes; it was magical.
My fiance's favorite part of the cruise was the snorkeling. We had so much fun swimming in a secluded cove and spotting unique marine life.
I can't leave out the exceptional crew. As we sailed along the coast they pointed out historic sites, popular film locations, famous (and notorious) hikes, and told us about the local wildlife.
We'll relish in the memories of this tour forever!

We had a great time on this snorkel cruise! The Na Pali Coast is gorgeous and our crew made the experience that much better by being so friendly and accommodating. They were right there if you needed anything, ready to answer any questions you had and give background information on the island, and were even offering to take pictures for you. We were fortunate to get to see so much marine life from the boat--dolphins, whales, sea turtles, manta rays, and a baby octopus. The only downside is that we wish we could have snorkeled for a longer period of time (because we love it!). The ride back to Kauai from Niihau was definitely rough, but we took Dramamine beforehand and wore sea bands, which all seemed to help. The crew definitely lightened the mood with jokes and took efficient care of those unfortunate few who got sick. We would definitely recommend this excursion!

However, by the time we arrived at the Napali Coast, the weather improved, and we were able to enjoy the stunning views.
On the way, we even got to see dolphins, which was amazing. Cruising while watching the changing scenery was fantastic, and on the way back, we enjoyed a champagne service while watching the sunset, making for a perfect time.
Thank you very much.
前の日の天気が悪く、当日も午前中は雨が降っていたので、少しでも見れたらラッキーという気持ちで参加しましたが、ナパリコーストに到着した時には天気も良くなり最高の景色を堪能することができました。
行く途中、イルカにも会うことができ最高でした。
変わりゆく景色を見ながらのクルージングも最高で、帰りにサンセットを見ながらシャンパンのサービスもあり最高の時間でした。
ありがとうございました。

I participated alone, but the crew and other participants were kind, and I had a great time. The food was quite delicious, and there was a good variety of alcohol available. The Napa Coast was stunningly impressive when viewed from the sea. The sunset was truly beautiful and moving.
一人参加でしたが、クルーや他の参加者の方々も優しく楽しく過ごせました。お食事もなかなか美味しくて、アルコールも豊富でした。
ナ・パリ・コーストは海から眺めると素晴らしい迫力でした。
またサンセットは本当に綺麗で感動しました。

Of all the activities we did, I can not tell you the names of the guides. They were not all that informative or interactive with us.
But, if you plan on going with this tour, do the eight line coarse. You might have more fun.

This activity has all instructions in English, but I highly encourage participation even if you don't speak English. You can still have a great time, and the crew is very attentive, making sure you are comfortable throughout the experience.
When you think of snorkeling in Okinawa or Asian beach resorts, you might be disappointed in terms of coral and fish visibility. However, the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast are truly moving. Floating in the sea while looking up at the towering rock formations feels amazing. We even encountered dolphins and sea turtles, and if you approach it as a cruising experience, I think you'll be very satisfied.
■ Boat Facilities
Since it's a catamaran, it doesn't sway too much, but the cruising time is long, so those who are not used to it should be cautious of seasickness. There is a space inside the boat to shield you from the wind, and it also has a restroom.
■ Useful Items to Bring
It can get chilly when the wind hits your wet body, so a waterproof windbreaker would be handy. The snorkeling gear provided is relatively basic, so if you have your own snorkel and mask, it might be better to bring them along.
■ Meals
Breakfast: Cinnamon rolls, croissants, fruit, coffee
Lunch: Make-your-own sandwiches & salad, pasta
Drinks: Sprite, cola, green tea, beer, wine (white & red), etc.
The salad and ham were fresh, making for quite delicious sandwiches.
■ Surrounding Information
There are a few small shops around Port Allen, including a Kauai local chocolate and cookie shop, and a brewery. A short walk away, you'll find Subway and McDonald's. We didn't drive, so we took an Uber (costing $46 from Lihue) to get there, and on the way back, we happened to catch a bus to Lihue, which cost $2, and transferred from the bus to Uber. Most people probably rent cars, but since there are few Uber drivers on Kauai, it's wise to consider the risk of not being able to get one.
すべて英語のインストラクションですが、英語ができなくてもぜひ参加してほしいアクティビティです。英語が分からないなりに十分楽しめますし、クルーの人たちがこまめに気遣ってくれて、快適に過ごすことができました。
沖縄やアジアのビーチリゾートで体験できるシュノーケリングをイメージすると、珊瑚や魚影という点では期待外れかもしれません。
それでも、ナ・パリコーストの迫力ある絶景はやっぱり感動もの。
そびえたつ奇岩を見上げながら海に浮かんでいると、とっても気持ちがいいです。イルカやウミガメにも逢えましたし、クルージングメインと捉えて参加すると、とても満足度が高いと思います。
■船の設備
カタマランなのでそれほど大きくは揺れませんが、クルージングの時間が長いので、慣れない人は船酔い注意。
船内に風をよけられるスペースがあり、トイレもついています。
■あると便利なもの
濡れた身体で風を切ると寒いので、防水のウインブレがあると便利です。
用意されているシュノーケルは割と簡易なものなので、持っている人は自前のシュノーケルとマスクを持っていったほうがいいかも。
■食事について
朝食:シナモンロール、クロワッサン、フルーツ、コーヒー
昼食:自分でつくるサンドイッチ&サラダ、パスタ
飲み物:スプライト、コーラ、グリーンティー、ビール、ワイン(白・赤)、等
サラダやハムはフレッシュで、なかなかおいしいサンドイッチになりました。
■周辺情報:
ポート・アレンの周辺には小さなショップがいくつかあり、カウアイ・ローカルのチョコレートやクッキーショップ、ブリューワリ―。ちょっと歩いたところにサブウェイやマクドナルドなどがあります。
私たちは車を運転しないので、行きはUber(リフエから$46)、帰りはたまたまリフエ行のバスと遭遇し、バス($2)とUber乗り継ぎで移動しました。ほとんどの方はレンタカーだと思いますが、カウアイ島はUberのドライバーが少ないので、つかまらないリスクも考慮したほうがよさそうです。

My wife was excited because of the picture she took of the fields where Jurassic Park/World scenes were filmed on Kipu Ranch, oh and the zip-lining was fun too!
This was my first time zip lining, and it was a great experience. I picked the 3-line course, assuming that we would love it, but not committed to a full day experience. My wife had zip lined before, but it was on her bucket list to zip line in the jungle. Our guides Bruce and Skylar(?) were terrific.
No complaints at all, just be aware you will have to do a little hiking form one launch to the next, and you have to wait your turn depending on the size of the party. Ours was small enough (about 12) that the wait wasn't that bad.

We were lucky enough to get a private tour because nobody else signed up for the snuba tour that morning. The currents were a little tougher than we would’ve liked, but the experience was fabulous. Jared was a great guide and very patient. I had some trouble keeping my mask sealed and with buoyancy. He was a great coach and never lost patience. I had really wanted to see an octopus and it was clear he was looking for them and although we didn’t see one, I appreciated the effort. I would definitely go back again, and am looking forward to trying to get my SCUBA certification when I get home. Thanks Jared for such a great experience!
