The trip was a great experience. The boat ride was enjoyable. We sat on the upper deck and got wet which was great for us. The sights were amazing. The food and drink were fantastic. I would recommend this trip and would take it again. The captain and crew were friendly and helpful.

It was the end of September, and the north wind was strong with some swells. The boat didn't sway much while it was moving, but it rocked quite a bit when it slowed down. Conversely, when it sped up, splashes would come up every time it cut through the waves, and if you were sitting outside, your backside would get wet. It wasn't cold, but I thought it would have been better to have a towel ready. All the explanations were in English, but I managed. The meal on the way back was a platter mainly consisting of tacos, and some people piled it high. It was a bit of a disappointing menu. I was able to have one drink. You shouldn't expect much from the sunset; it sets right behind Niihau Island.
9月の終わりでした、北風が強くうねりもあります。船が進んでいるときはそれほど揺れませんでしたが速度を落とすとかなり揺れました、逆に速くなったら波を切るたびに飛沫が飛んできます、外に座っていたらお尻が濡れてしまいました。寒くはありませんでしたがタオルを用意したほうが良かったと思いました。説明は全て英語によるものでしたが何とかなりました。帰りながらの食事でしたがタコスを基本とした盛合せで一杯に盛り付ける人もいました。ちょっと残念なメニューです。アルコールは一杯頂けました。夕日は期待しないほうがいいです。丁度ニイハウ島に沈みます。
集合時間が13時頃になっていましたが早く行く必要はありませんでした。この時間になると午前中のコースが戻って来て駐車場が空いてきました。

The boat was very bare bones and not fancy. Like I say, you get what you pay for. We have taken a more expensive NaPali coast snorkeling trip in a very nice boat but I was okay with paying less and having a smaller, less plushy boat so we could go deeper in the sea caves; however, we never even stopped to snorkel. I had to ask because we were never even told why we didn’t snorkel. They said it was too windy. I’m not sure I believed them. We did stop on the way back to jump in if we wanted. You pay the same whether you get to snorkel or not. I guess we should have booked the morning tour. Maybe chances of snorkeling are better. Next time I’d pay more for a comfy boat, with more room.
Take the morning time slot for better chance of snorkeling.

The Napali Coast tour on a medium-sized boat is highly recommended. Since the boarding time is long, a small boat lacks a roof and has limited restroom facilities. With a large boat, you can't get close to the cliffs, and the boat speed is slow. A medium-sized boat offers the best of both worlds. We were able to go right under the waterfalls cascading from the cliffs and experience the spray. The captain navigated the boat professionally, and the two female staff members kept the atmosphere lively with their smiles. When we gave tips upon disembarking, all the staff responded with "thank you" in Japanese. We were also very satisfied and enjoyed the long tour with smiles. I highly recommend it.
ナパリコーストは中型船でのツアーがおすすめ。乗船時間が長いので小型船だと屋根がなくトイレも限定的。大型船だと岩壁近くに近寄れず船速も遅い。中型船は良いとこ取りです。岩壁から流れ落ちる滝の真下に入ってくれて滝に打たれることが出来ました。船長はプロフェッショナルな船裁き、女性2名の添乗スタッフも笑顔で適切に盛り上げてくれました。チップを下船時に渡したら、全スタッフから「ありがとう」の日本語が返ってきました。こちらも笑顔で大満足で長いツアーを楽しめました。おすすめです。
I recommend bringing a larger bath towel as you may encounter sudden rain or splashes of water. They provide raincoats for you to borrow.

We are an elderly couple, 70 and 69 years old. We were the only Japanese people on board. This was our ninth trip to Hawaii, and our first time on Kauai. Since we were here, we wanted to see the Na Pali Coast, so we decided to join the tour.
To be honest, I was worried about getting seasick. About 30 minutes before boarding, I took an old seasickness tablet from T Pharmaceutical that I brought from Japan (the kind you can take without water). Thanks to that, I didn't feel sick at all and was able to enjoy the cruise comfortably. There were about six people who did feel sick. I think if I hadn't taken the seasickness medication, I definitely would have gotten sick. The cruise was comfortable, but it did sway quite a bit, similar to the Viking ride at a Japanese amusement park.
We talked with my husband, saying, "I'm glad we came," while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The sunset was cloudy, but we could still see it reasonably well. The food was delicious too. Besides the captain, there were two friendly staff members, a nice young man and a beautiful young woman, who were all very kind. Perhaps because of my age, whenever I tried to move around the boat, they would come right away to help me. My English isn't very good, but I didn't have any particular problems. My husband chatted happily with a gentleman from the mainland who was sitting next to him, and everyone there was very friendly.
We participated on May 10th, and we were able to see whales. Everyone was thrilled and shouting. Additionally, there was a rainbow over the Na Pali Coast, making it the best cruise ever.
I highly recommend participating. The Lucky Lady is a larger cruiser, so it felt safe. I'm really glad we joined.
70才と69才の老夫婦です。日本人は、私たちだけでした。ハワイ9回目にして、初めてのカウアイ島。せっかくなのでナ・パリ・コーストは、見ておきたいと参加しました。
正直なところ、船酔いしないかと心配していました。船に乗る30分前に日本から持ってきた昔からある、T製薬の酔い止めの錠剤S(水なしで飲めるもの)を口に含んで乗船しました。そのお陰で、全く酔わず、快適にクルージングを楽しむことができました。酔っている人も6人位いました。多分、酔い止めを飲んでいなかったら、絶対、酔っていたと思います。快適なクルージングですが、かなり揺れます。日本の遊園地のバイキングのような揺れ方です。
美しい風景に、夫と「来てよかったね」と話し合ってました。サンセットは、曇っていましたが、それなりに見えました。食事も美味しかったです。スタッフは、船長以外に優しいお兄さんと綺麗なお姉さんが二人、皆さん、親切にしてくださいました。私が高齢なのでしょうか、船の中を移動しようとすると、すぐ来て、手をかしてくれました。英語も得意ではありませんが、特に問題なかったです。夫は、隣に座っていた本土からみえた米国の紳士と仲良くお喋りしたり、その場にいた人々が、皆わきあいあいとしてました。
参加したのは5月10日でしたが、クジラを見ることができました。皆、感激して叫んでいました。また、ナ・パリ・コーストに虹がかかって、最高のクルージングになりました。
是非、参加してください。このラッキーレディ号は、大きめのクルーザーなので、安心でした。本当に参加してよかったです。
It is essential to take motion sickness medication before getting on. Japanese people should bring a windbreaker. I tend to get hot in Japan, but I was glad I wore it. You might also get splashed with
必ず、乗る前に、酔い止めを飲むことは必要です。日本人は、ウインドブレーカーを持っていかれたほうがいいです。私は、日本では、暑がりですが、着ていてよかったと思いました。水をかぶることもあります。

We really enjoyed the sunset cruise yesterday. The captain and his team (Audrey, Haley and G) were all great people, very helpful and considerate during the 5 1/2 tour. Few people got sick due to very strong current and rough water and this team took care of all by comforting them and taking good care of them. We certainly recommend this company for sunset cruises.
Make sure to take motion sick gess pill or patch an hour before the tour start time.

The water was rough, lots of big swells, people were throwing up over the side or in the bathroom, some laid on the benches in the cabin area. Food was not anything fancy but the crew members were very nice, we have been on some very high end dinner cruises and felt disappointed in this one. Shame that so many people didn't eat at all or very little and trying to drink anything was a mission due to the swells. I did take some breathtaking pictures of the sunset, thankfully I took motion sickness medicine.
If the water is that rough offer a refund or reschedule.

The boat ride was great- seeing the Na Pali coast from the Pacific was incredible. The tour guide was a fantastic guide, sharing stories about the history of Kaua’i , including her connections through her great grandparents. Learning about the land and history over time made a lasting impression. Hearing about the connections to movie settings was also cool. We encountered spinner dolphin pod and it was exciting to see so many surfacing and putting on a show. The snorkeling was Awesome, it was great how the boat had a specific location to secure to that was near the reef. Snorkeling was very organized and I felt safe. We saw many colored fish and even a sea turtle.
I appreciated the introduction before we started the tour and the guidance if we felt seasick. I was unfortunately one who experienced sea sickness about halfway through the trip, where we encountered the roughest water. The crew was compassionate and offered comforts. I felt better as we headed toward calmer waters and snorkeling location and was able to enjoy the snorkeling.
We had 5 in our traveling party and all were very impressed with the sights-totally worth it!
The morning tour was great! Heed the recommendation for motion sickness precautions.

The Na Pali Coast Sunset Dinner Cruise was an amazing experience, overwhelmed by the beauty of nature along the Na Pali Coast. Thanks to taking motion sickness medication 30 minutes before boarding, I was able to enjoy it comfortably, and the food was very delicious. The crew was very kind, answering questions politely and providing excellent service, even taking photos at scenic points. The sunset was particularly magnificent, with the beautiful sun coloring the sea and sky, creating a memorable moment. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see any dolphins or whales, but it was still a very satisfying cruise. I was able to enjoy the scenery known as the filming locations for Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean, creating unforgettable memories.
