I thoroughly enjoyed the Na Pali Coast Sunset Cruise. We boarded in the afternoon, and the weather was perfect with no wind, making for ideal conditions as we set sail!
Along the way, we encountered a pod of dolphins that came right under the boat. We also spotted a whale in the distance. As we approached the Na Pali Coast, the stunning cliffs came into view, and I was in awe of the natural scenery. The dinner on the boat on the way back was also fantastic!
Just before we arrived at the harbor, the sunset behind the boat was breathtaking. I highly recommend experiencing this and enjoying the beauty of nature!
ナ・パリ・コーストサンセットクルーズを満喫しました。午後からの乗船で天候もよく風もなくて絶好のコンディションでいざ出港!
途中でイルカの群れに遭遇して船の下までやって来ました。少し遠くでしたが、クジラも見る事が出来ました。ナ・パリ・コーストに近づくに連れて断崖絶壁の風景が近くに見え大自然の景色に満喫しました。帰りは船の上でのディナーも最高でした‼
港に着く少し前には船の後ろに沈む夕陽は最高でした。是非体験して大自然を満喫して下さい。

On the day of the trip, unfortunately, the wind was strong, and the planned course was changed. Because of this, I couldn't reach the long-awaited Na Pali Coast (cry). I received an explanation beforehand, but I wasn't fully aware of the details when we set sail. We also departed about 40 minutes late. Once we got out to sea, we encountered a sea turtle, and shortly after that, we saw a humpback whale... Since one of my other goals for this trip was whale watching, that was still good. I was overwhelmed by the sight of the whale breaching repeatedly, and the three hours flew by. The finale was a cruise while watching the sunset with a pod of dolphins... There were unlimited drinks and light meals, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. However, since it was a meal on a small boat, you shouldn't have too high expectations... Next time, I definitely want to make it to the Na Pali Coast!
当日は生憎風が強く予定されていたコースが変更されました。 このため念願のナ・パリ・コーストまではたどりつけず(泣) 事前に説明を受けましたが、詳しくは把握できないまま出航。出航も40分ほど遅れていました。 沖に出るとウミガメに遭遇、そこからしばらくするとザトウクジラが、、、今回のもうひとつの目的がホエールウォッチングだったのでそれはそれでいいか。 何度も何度もブリーチを繰り返す鯨の姿に圧倒されながらあっという間の3時間でした。フィナーレはサンセットを見ながら、イルカの群れとクルージング、、、ドリンク飲み放題、軽い食事つきでしたが十分楽しみました。 ただし小型船の上での食事ですので、あまり期待はしないほうがいいでしょう。。。 次回は是非ナ・パリ・コーストまで!

This is a great tour for those that want an easy, non-strenuous ride up and back on the river. I just did not enjoy being packed in with that many people to see the attraction after hiking and adventuring all week and then going on a garden tour directly before this one. I thought it was the only way to get to the grotto, and didn't like being herded in a huge group to see the ferns and hurry and take a photo. We really wished we knew that renting kayaks from the same company was an option because that looked way more our style. Aside from that, the staff was nice and gave an informative tour and musical entertainment for the ride. Best suited for older or more conservative tourists.

Guides were great. Just be aware the actual time in the water probably closer to an hour. You will also spin more than you might have anticipated as you bounce off side walls. Going through the caves was cool.

The luau is just average. The show portion of the luau is in a "theater" type setting making it seem removed from the luau. The food was ok. They did try hard to accommodate my food allergy and prepared a separate plate for me.

We went to this luau with our two adult daughters. It was such a beautiful place to explore! We were able to walk around and take pictures. The dinner was good and nicely displayed. There was a little of something for everyone to like. The show was very good and entertaining. It got a little hard to sit for that long on the forward slanted seating though. I would recommend for a fun night.

The tour of the Garden was fantastic. Peacocks all around. The tour guide was very hospitable and funny. The start of the Luau celebration was very informative and they explained about the tradition the Hawaiian people do and of their honorable way of life and respect for the planet in general. The seating was very organized and tables were called one at a time and in an expeditious manner. The food was very well presented and plenty of it. The salads and dressings were island flavor and very delish. The main dishes were local fish, Roasted Pork, Teryaki Chicken with your side of fried rice. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. The Show was a great ending to the night with a history of the evolution of the Hawaiian Islands and its people. I would definitely do it again. Worth the time and money. Take a camera...plenty of photos.
