Kauai
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。
This was our third try to get this ride. Weather kept us from seeing this amazing island and coast. This time…oh my! The weather cooperated and we were given quite a tour. Our pilot, Duke, was terrific. Duke was so knowledgeable about the island. Plus, Jurassic Park soundtrack. Go ahead and splurge for the front seats…you will not be disappointed! We recommend this flight for everyone. Blue Hawaiian is terrific!
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.
Our water conditions were perfect, the coast was gorgeous! What a day
What gorgeous greenery sights, not to mention the endless waterfalls!
Mahalo nui loa for your kind words! 🌿🚁 We're so happy you enjoyed the lush green views and those magical, never-ending waterfalls—Hawai‘i really knows how to show off! It means the world to our small, local team to share these breathtaking sights with awesome guests like you. Hope we get to welcome you back for another sky-high adventure soon! 🌈🌺
Excellent experience! Our pilot, Hayze made us feel very comfortable. This was our first ever helicopter ride. We had the most memorable doors off scenic over view of the island! Our pilot was awesome and he shared and pointed out so many sites and facts! This ride won’t disappoint!
Aloha and mahalo nui loa for the amazing review! 🚁🌺 We're beyond thrilled to hear that your very first helicopter ride was such a memorable one—and even better that it was with Hayze at the controls! He'll be so stoked to hear he made you feel comfortable and helped bring the island to life with all the sights and stories. Doors off and soaring high—there’s truly nothing like it! Hope to see you again for another epic adventure in the skies of Hawai‘i! 🌈🌴
One of the best parts of our Kauai tour coming from both couples! They swapped our tour to give us the best experience which is surely was!
Captain Rob was amazing! Found a calm place to snorkel and thrilled us with many cave entries! The NaPali coast is surreal. All the crew was friendly and informative about Hawaiian culture, activities and safety. Was a bit worried about sea sickness, but no problems for anyone in the boat!
We got so lucky and had such wonderful ocean conditions, allowing us to see so much of the coast! Wonderful experience.
The whales put on a show, and we left as happy travelers that day! :)
When saw dolphins!! And the guide was great!! Only you have to be prepared for sea movement 🌊
I was torn between choosing a helicopter or this option, but this was the right choice. I am very satisfied with this experience at this price. The scenery was wonderful. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was fine.
ヘリコプターとどちらにしようか迷いましたが、こちらで正解でした。この価格でこの体験は大満足です。すばらしい景色でした。酔うのではと心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。
Gorgeous tour, long air time which we appreciated for the price, and full of Kauai's beautiful terrains
The sea caves of Kauai were unlike any other! This was the reason we wanted to visit, and it was all so unreal. Dolphins said hello as well!
They took us earlier to have better sky views, and it was so worth it, best tour I have had!
Beautiful views of green plant life and blue water falling! Felt like a perfect way to spend in Hawaii
Nothing beats the cliffs of Na Pali. I wish I could have dinner on the coast every day!
I had a wonderful experience.
There were about 30 people on the tour, and none of them were Japanese.
The ride there was a bit rocky, but the return trip was comfortable.
The crew was also wonderful.
The captain's service was excellent.
I was able to see whales and dolphins.
The nature of Kauai is amazing.
とっても素敵な体験しました。
30人程ツアーで日本人は、誰もいませんでした。
行は揺れましたが、
帰り追波で快適でした。
乗務員も素敵な人たちでした。
船長のサービスが素晴らしく。
クジラ・イルカもみれました。
カウアイ島の自然が素晴らしい。
It's good to have a jacket or raincoat since the waves can splash a bit.
波が少々かぶるので
ジャンバー・雨カッパがある良い。
My husband, Eric, and I were excited to ride in a helicotper ride while on our honeymoon. It was a first time adventure for either of us as we had never 1) been to Hawaii before and 2) ridden a helicopter before. The adventure happened early in the day, and we enjoyed some beautiful sites. I particularly enjoyed seeing the beautiful clear water of the ocean and the rust colored Waimea Canyon.
Mahalo for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and Eric had an unforgettable helicopter ride during your honeymoon. It's fantastic that you got to explore Hawaii for the first time together, and we couldn't agree more about the breathtaking views.
The clear blue waters and the stunning rust-colored Waimea Canyon truly are sights to behold! We're so glad you enjoyed the early morning adventure and the beautiful sights that Kauai has to offer. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and we hope this is just the beginning of many more adventures together.
Thank you for choosing us to be a part of your special memories, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for your next Hawaiian adventure!
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.
Captain Kauai and crew were absolutely amazing! Loved hearing the history of Hawaii. The food was great! Could not have asked for a better cruise. Thank you for making our vacation a memorable one. Highly recommended!!
Great crew and great scenery. Saw beautiful coastline and lots of wildlife.
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.
Many thanks to the boat team. A wonderfull time with a 4yo.
We really enjoyed this cruise! We went in Nov so the beginning of winter there. Waters were just starting to get a little rougher. No one in our group gets seasick so we had no issues but some others on the cruise that were prone to seasickness were struggling a little. The staff were all super friendly and shared a lot about the history along the coast, films that were shot there, and other recommendations in the area. Highly recommend!
This is a long tour lasting over four hours. After about a two-hour cruise, we get close to the rock wall just before arriving at the famous scenic cliffs, which offers various enjoyable experiences. However, I did feel a bit seasick during the trip.
For snorkeling, I think it's safer to borrow a tube (a foam stick) since there are no wetsuits or life jackets provided. The water was a bit cold, but I was happy to see fish and turtles.
The tour is conducted in English, but I don't think that's a problem.
The meeting point is in an area where many tour company offices are located, including Kauai Chocolate Shop. There is also a Kauai Community Bus nearby, so you can time it to return to Lihue by bus (I think taking an Uber is better for the outbound trip).
4時間超の長いツアーになります。2時間位クルーズしたのち、有名な風景の崖に到着する手前の岩壁にも近づき、色々楽しませてくれます。ただ、それに少し船酔いしてしまいました。
シュノーケルは、ウェットスーツやライフジャケット無しなので、チューブ(発泡スチロールの棒)を借りた方が安心出来ると思います。少し水が冷たかったですが、魚や亀を観ることができ、嬉しかったです。
ツアーは英語のみですが、問題ないと思います。
集合場所は、多くのツアー会社オフィスがまとまっている区画で、カウアイチョコレートショップなどもあります。近くにはカウアイコミュニティバスも通っているので、時間を合わせてバスでリフェまで戻ることができます(行きはUberの方が良いと思います)。
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.
ナ・パリ・コースト サンセットディナークルーズは、ナパリコーストの大自然に圧倒される素晴らしい体験でした。乗船の30分前に酔い止めを飲んだおかげで、快適に楽しむことができ、ご飯もとても美味しかったです。クルーはとても親切で、質問にも丁寧に答えてくれ、絶景ポイントでは写真を撮ってくれるなど、サービスも行き届いていました。特にサンセットは壮大で、美しい夕日が海と空を彩り、心に残る最高の瞬間でした。残念ながらイルカや鯨を見ることはできませんでしたが、それでも大満足のクルーズでした。ジュラシックパークやパイレーツ・オブ・カリビアンのロケ地としても知られる景色を堪能でき、忘れられない思い出ができました。
Kauai from above is so green, lush, and gorgeous views of plenty of waterfalls!
Great tour, beautiful Na Pali coast, great sized catamaran!
Average food, Very little narration of sites along the way - also hard to hear with engines running. Servers were attentive. Drinks way below average. Mai Tais out of a cooler igloo container? Dirty metal cups.
