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

Best boat tour ever!!!

Reviewed by: Michelle

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!

My fourth time

Reviewed by: Roberto García

This was my fourth time with this cruise and it did not disappoint me at all . My first time was by myself but I had to bring my family so they could experience the breathing views of Napali coast . 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 . I love the part when we got so close to the waterfall

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Participated in the cruise from early morning on October 8, 2023 (Na Pali Coast, off the coast of Niihau). 2023.10.8(日)早朝からのクルーズ(ナ・パリ・コースト、ニイハウ島沖) に参加して

Reviewed by: 大きな志

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。

Great time 100%

Reviewed by: Jordan

It was a great time going out on the boat the lucky lady with Captain Edie. The crew was attentive and friendly and informative. The views are amazing. We were lucky enough to be able to see dolphins during our adventure. The time for snorkeling could have been a little longer. Overall it was a great experience and I highly recommended it for everyone to try while visiting Kauai.

It was nice, wish the snorkeling was better

Reviewed by: bkst

Counted on this boat tour for good snorkeling and did not get it at all even though waters were calm at the time of day we snorkeled. Co-captain agreed that captain could have picked a better spot for snorkeling. Decently long boat ride to get to Na Pali Coast. Boat tour was cut short by almost an hour (not sure why, but honestly it would have dragged on if it wasn't cut short). Other than those things, it was nice seeing the scenic coast and we saw turtles and dancing dolphins.

Need to know…wearing a spf shirt would have been a good idea! Having salty crackers for upset stomach would have helped.

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!

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!

Aloha Larry,

We try to be candid in all our tours about the intrinsic effort and matching folks to the right tour.

Yesterday, clients on the same tour, felt while they did not need a guide to get to the snorkeling beach off Hideaways, that having the guide(s) made for a richer experience.

That said your review helps others choose the correct tour.

In spite the toughness…thanks for giving us 4 stars.

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.
