We wanted to give this tour 4.5 stars but couldn't. We really enjoyed the sights and the information that our guide Steve provided. He was attentive, informative, and entertaining. One suggestion would be to have a bottle of water available for each tour guest.

This was an amazing tour of he Napali Coast. The crew was phenomenal! They were so personable and knowledgeable. They were very attentive to our kids and kept everyone engaged and excited. The captain steered the boat with precision allowing us to get into small cave openings and over large waves.
Bring non-spray sunscreen and a hat that won’t blow off since it gets very windy. We took motion sickness pills prior to the trip which really helped.
The views were breathtaking! Highly recommend.

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.
ポートアーレン事務所集合15:00でしたが、少し早めの14:30に建物の奥の「Holo Holo Charters」の看板の駐車場に停めます。
割と車が多いので、早めに駐車して良かったです。
集合前に、事務所でチェックイン。
タッチパネルで「同意書」にサインし、集合時間まで、近くのショップをウロウロ。
トイレは事務所の裏にあります。
時間になり、事務所前の広場で集合し船長さんが名前を呼ぶので、返事をします。
点呼が終わったら、港へ。乗船する前に靴入れに靴を脱いで専用の裸足になります。
ビーチサンダルで行き正解でした。
早めに乗船した人は、船の後ろへ
私達は間に合わず、中のテーブルがある席に座りましたが、結果食事の際など便利。途中移動できるので、景色の十分楽しみます。
出発してすぐに、アルコールやソフトドリンク、クラッカーとチーズなどのサービス。
ナパリコーストまでどんどん移動します。
目の前に広がる船から見るナパリコースト❗️景圧巻の景色でした。
帰りに夕食(タコスでした)を食べながら、戻ります。クッキーも配られました。
(紙皿ジプロックにいれて、持って帰る人もいました)その間中、フリードリンクです。
トイレも2つあり、安心して飲めます。
イルカは見れませんでしたが、5月だったのにクジラを数回見る事が出来ラッキーでした。
サンセットもこの日は雲の邪魔なく、本当に素晴らしかったです。
カウアイ島での良い思い出になりました。
港に戻ったのは、19:30頃。4時間くらい乗ってます。ずっと走っているのて、揺れるので船酔いが心配な人は、薬を飲んだ方が良いと思います。
屋根のある船の中は寒くありませんが、走っているので景色を見る時に、薄手のウインドブレーカーは必ず持っていく事をオススメします。
日焼けも必要な方はいるかも。
日本人は私達だけで、全て英語でしたがクルーの方2名がとても親切で、サービスもよくとっても楽しい時間を過ごせました。

This was a good experience all the way around! Ordering tickets was easy through Veltra. Check in was seamless.
The 10 min tram ride around the beautiful grounds was just long enough to give an overview of the area but not so long that a 3 year old would get bored. They allowed time before dinner to walk around and get the wiggles out. The food was good and they even marked the gluten free dishes. There was another break before the show to run around and use the restrooms (even had a golf cart to transport there & back). The acts were exciting enough, and short enough to keep the toddler entertained and the fire dancer was great! Only drawbacks: cell service almost non-existent (hard to connect with late arrivers), lots of waiting to get in because of the photo line-maybe do it after tram ride).

This adventure was all that we read on-line....and more!! We came into Lihue on a cruise and chose to do the tubing adventure. Our guides, BJ and Poncho, made this experience even better....comical, informative, safe and most of all, fun!! Service while checking in was fast and friendly. During the ride up to the start of the tubing on the irrigation ditch, BJ provided insite into the history of the sugar plantation and creation of the ditch, pointed out areas of interest. We stopped for photo opp and then into the water on our tubes. This was a great experience, fun traveling through the tunnels and never felt unsafe. Our group loved this!!

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。

The view of the Na Pali Coast is amazing. It's definitely worth seeing at least once. Personally, I have experienced sunset cruises in Hawaii several times, but the sunset cruise in Maui, where I saw whales and dolphins, was incredible. 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.
ナパリコーストの眺めは 最高で。一度みる価値ありです。
私的には 何度かハワイのサンセットクルーズの経験ありますがマウイ島のサンセットクルーズで クジラやイルカを 見たのが凄すぎて 船内には ウクレレで
生演奏しながら EZの曲で それには

A woman from the United States (about the size of a sumo wrestler) fell due to strong waves and started bleeding from her toes. The crew member (a fourth-generation Okinawan) responded promptly and effectively, which was impressive, especially while the yacht was rocking from the waves.
米国の女性(相撲取りくらいのサイズ)が、波が強くて転び、足の先から血が出てしまった際の、乗組員(沖縄4世)のてきぱきとした対応が素晴らしかった。(波でヨットが揺れながらの対応)

Wedding ceremonies have been held at the fern grotto for decades. It's a historic and beautiful spot to get married or renew your vows. We didn't know this before arriving but it was a special surprise since my fiance proposed the day before. The cruise to the fern grotto was the perfect way to end our vacation in Kauai. Even if you're not going for a wedding, you'll get to hear and watch Hawaiian singers and musicians perform a traditional Hawaiian wedding song. So whether you're celebrating an engagement, a honeymoon, or 50 years of marriage, this beautiful destination will fill your heart with love. I'm so glad we did this tour!

If you’re bringing a camera or GoPro make sure it has a tie on it to your wrist or clothing and a water proof case. We had the best time together!!! Highly recommend.

The eight year old who still lives in this 60-year-old heart of mine adored the whole adventure. Not because it was simple, but because we got to have an experience floating down an irrigation flume through tunnels and exotic beauty. It felt a little bit like we were getting away with something. Also, our guides - Cody and Justin - were funny and friendly and kept us perfectly safe the whole time. My advice is to go in the morning so you get in on the picnic at the end of the adventure. A beautiful setting in which to rest and refresh.
