Aloha Kauai Beach Snorkeling Tour with Expert Guide (from Poipu) [Open Soon]

great

Reviewed by: lillian, 2013/07/23

I took my teenage cousin on a snorkeling adventure and we had a good time. Nick, the driver, talk story about the indigenous and endemic plant life of hawai'i on the way to the snorkeling spot on Poipu. We got to see and touch a small octopus. That was a "no ka oi"...the best!

ナ・パリ・コースト セーリング 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>

セーリングがメイン

Reviewed by: たかさな, 2013/06/30

シュノーケリングがメインかと思って申し込みました。
実際は、ハナペペからナパリコーストまで往復約3時間のセーリングがメインで、波の揺れがひどく体力に自信がないと辛いです。(欧米人の方は、お酒も飲んで全然平気そうでしたが、、、)
でも、クルーメンバーはきさくでのりがよく、カメもイルカも目の前で見れたのはよかったです。

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Perfect morning!

Reviewed by: Lindsey, 2013/05/14

A fantastic day, the weather was spectacular and the crew was excellent. As we reached the Na Pali coast, we ran into a pod of dolphins and the boat stopped so everyone could enjoy them and take pictures before we headed up the famed coastline.

The weather was absolutely perfect, we were insanely lucky, and we were able to go into a sea cave and turn around! With enough time for about 45 minutes to snorkel and enjoy the water and a delicious lunch before we headed back to the harbor. After doing several activities in Kauai, I would most definitely recommend a visit to the Na Pali coast, it truly is as magical and awe-inspiring as everyone always says!

面白くなかった。

Reviewed by: Jun Hamasaki, 2013/01/14

早朝6時にポート・アレンに集合とあるのに5時45分に行ったらお店の電気も点いてないし係員もいませんでした。駐車場も案内も不親切です。前夜に低気圧が通過したせいか船の揺れが激しく雨模様の天候もあってナ・パリ・コーストの絶景も楽しめませんでした。スノーケルは水が冷たく波が高かったのですぐに船に上がりました。ランチは普通でしたが帰路の揺れが半端じゃなくて船酔い続出で僕も戻しました。結果的にはスピードボートじゃなくてカタマラン・ヨットでゆっくりとコーストの景色だけを楽しんだほうが良かったとおもいます。参加してつらかったアクティビティでした。

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Evan, 2012/10/05

This was a fantastic tour! While we did not get to go hike and see an ancient Hawaiian village, it was still a very enjoyable tour. The staff knows their stuff and their tidbits were great to have on the tour. I loved how manueverable the boat was, allowing us to go more places than just a regular boat, including inside a sea cave, which was awesome. The snorkeling was fun too but the fish were not very active where we were. The vistas they provided us and the information within were great... I would go back on this again.

Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure

Very bad service!

Reviewed by: SAEZELL, 2012/09/15

This excursion was fun, but staff at office was very rude. Acted like we were a burden to even help. Very short and snobby. Especially blonde lady. No one even smiled at us. I have never been on an excursion so unorganized and unfriendly. Our guide was nice enough, but no instructions for snorkeling. My sister had never snorkeled and he just gave us our masks and left us to snorkel on our own while he went spear fishing. As we were kayaking he got way ahead and never stopped and checked on the group. I was very disappointed. I have been on several excursions and the staff has always been wonderful, but not this one. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!!!!

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Beautiful views but unpleasant

Reviewed by: Brian, 2012/09/11

We were contacted for an "upgraded" tour at no additional cost and accepted. We were slated for a catamaran but the upgrade got us a zodiac boat. We were supposed to have 1 hour of snorkeling with the tour and with the upgrade to recieve a nicer lunch.

The trip out was bouncy but tolerable. Saw the coastline, caves and spinner dolphins which was a treat. Got the tour of the old Hawaiian and the lunch was very good.

Things deteriorated when there weren't enough snorkles for all the people! (They were two short) We were told we'd have only 30 minutes to snorkle the reef which just wasn't enough time (no explanation for the shortened snorkeling time). The trip back was brutal in the zodiac once past Barking Sands. High chop, winds and bouncing on the edge of the zodiac was particularly rough (understatement). The driver did the best he could to minimize the bouncing but we found out that the afternoon winds made the trip we expereinced very typical. It was very,very unplea

Aloha Kauai Beach Snorkeling Tour with Expert Guide (from Poipu) [Open Soon]

Awesome time!

Reviewed by: Brian, 2012/08/02

I took my 2 daughters Skyla 11 and Kaylee 9. It was an amazing experience! Kailee is an excellent instructor and guide. The entire trip was enjoyable and educational. My little one was able to hang out on the surf board as she grew tired of swimming and enjoy the entire experience. Unfortunatley the water was a little to unpredictable to venture out to the sea turtles, but Kailee drove us to a spot where we were able to view them from the van in large numbers. I would definetly reccommend this to anybody visting Kauai!

Great Time

Reviewed by: Carl & Barbar O, 2012/07/20

The main reason we went was because Barbara wanted to go snorkeling. Kailee is an amazing instructor! Barbara had the best time of our time on Kuaui. After the snorkeling and refreshments, Kailee showed us where the sea turtles were and we even saw a few. She pointed out several landmarks and answered every question we asked about plants, animals and life on the Islands. We really had a great time!

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Weather can be a variable

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/07/17

I was generous with my stars considering our unseasonably bad weather day on the seas. This was certainly not any fault of the team, but be mindful that weather can play a factor in the enjoyment. Biggest negatives of the weather:
choppy seas prevent some of the potential exploration
cloudy skies prevents the sun from heating you up as you get wet/cold from splashing water

We're pretty adventurous and rugged so the weather only notched down the enjoyment 1 level, but one person got sea sick on our trip and I am sure their enjoyment was a ZERO.

Weather aside, a great way to see the wonders of the Napali Coast and of course do some snorkeling. My wife was a first time snorkeler and she had a great time swimming with the fish and TURTLEs. Sadly no dolphins during the dive but we saw some on the boat trip.

If you've done a tour of the coast, this is not the best time spent for snorkeling, but a great combination tour and snorkeling adventure...so good value for your precious

Reviewed by: Charlie S, 2012/07/08

My wife and I had a wonderful experience in Kauai when we did the snorkeling activity. Our guide and instructor, Paul, was great to be with, had a very unique personality, and was just a lot of fun. He is very knowledgable on all aspects of local lore and took us to great locations where we were able to see many different species of tropical fish and even green sea turtles. My wife is not a good swimmer and our other guide Kailee helped her to enjoy the experience fully. We had a great time and would do it again next time.

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Wonderful Experience

Reviewed by: Cassidy, 2012/07/06

My husband and I took Na Pali Coast Snorkel Cruise June 29th and had such a wonderful time! The scenes are breathtaking and we do not have enough great things to say about the Na Pali explorer staff. We were given incorrect info by the concierge at our hotel and the staff worked with us so that we were still able to experience the tour we signed up for. The boat staff was wonderful and friendly which made the whole experience very enjoyable and entertaining. We learned some Hawaiian history from the staff and we were able see dolphins and sea turtles during our cruise. Overall the cruise exceeded our expectations and I would definitely recommend the Na Pali Explorer snorkel cruises to anyone!

Three of us were swimmers and took to snorkeling easily. I was terrified to try, but I wanted so much to share this with my family. Kai was amazing! She was so patient and helped me overcome my fears. The snorkeling was fantastic and I learned so much about what I saw in the water. Kailee was awesome and we loved her sense of humor. Our whole family was absolutely thrilled with the experience from beginning to end. THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our first day in Kauai so wonderful.

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

for experienced paddlers

Reviewed by: Dee, 2012/05/01

I had only paddled on flat water & this trip was just too much for me & my husband. The guides were great, lunch was great & the beaches were lovely but paddling that far was too much for us & a few other couples. It was a real grind getting to the 2nd beach & we had a hard time keeping up even with breaks. If you are an experienced paddler you will probably have a great time but I don't recommend for beginners!

Liko Kauai Snorkel Cruises - Na Pali Coast Boat Tour & Sea Cave Adventure

A snorkel cruise without snorkeling

Reviewed by: dan collins, 2012/04/06

First, let me say it was a fun trip. The crew was awesome; they knew the area and did a great job of explaining everything we saw. The lunch was great. We got to see whales, turtles and dolphins. But when you book a snorkeling cruise because that's what we wanted to do and there's no snorkeling and no explanation as to why, that's why I'd say this is a rip-off.

Great Time Snorkeling

Reviewed by: Sue O, 2012/01/05

My family had a great time snorkeling. This was the first time for all of us and being a person who does not swim, afraid of deep water I had a blast. The instructor was very qualified and helped me overcome my fears and helped me to have a great time. Our family was the only group on this tour which was great because of the individualized help.
We saw alot of different fish, coral and sealife and even came up close to many green sea turtles, they were so amazing. I would recommend this tour to everyone, even those who do not swim.

If you want to experience the ride of a life time then this is the voyage for you, from the crew, the Napali Coast and spinner dolphins and over to Niihau Island and Snorkeling at Lehua in crystal clear water everything was just perfect, we went in mid sept this yr and had only 27 people on the 65 foot cat and plenty of room, snorkeling was the best, even saw a Monk seal a couple of rays and a octopus, the seas coming back across the channel were very calm for us, we might have been very lucky, but again don't miss this wonderful voyage its worth every penny.

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

What a ride

Reviewed by: dearljade, 2011/09/15

We really enjoyed this cruise. The Na Pali coast is very beautiful. The breakfast and lunch was great. The snorkeling was fantastic. Getting to see a monk seal basking in the sun was really great. The ride home was the only part of the trip that was challenging. I recommend anyone taking this cruise to take a dramimine before departing. On the ride back the crew passed out plenty of buckets, people were getting sick because of the rough ride. It is not the fault of the crew, the seas are especially rough. The only warning we got ahead of time was that it is an "E" ticket ride on the way back. No one on the boat knew exactly what to expect. We were lucky enough not to be the ones who did get sick. Well worth the money and the views are breath taking. It is an experience we will never forget. The crew was very nice and helpful. Thanks y'all!!

ナパリコーストもゆっくりと見ることができ、途中でイルカの群れに遭遇するという嬉しい出来事もありました。安全面も細かい配慮があったので特に不安に感じることもなかったです。ただ、ほとんど日本人がいないので、説明はすべて英語で、船の騒音もあってほとんど理解できませんでした。ガイドさんが一生懸命案内してくれていたのに残念です。もっと楽しむには英語力が必要かもしれません。あと、シュノーケリングは、なぜここで?と思うくらい魚がいなかったので、すぐあがってしまいました。波があるから場所がないのかな。

とってもすばらしい景色を見ることができました。
6時チェックインとまだ真っ暗ななかホテルを出発することになりましたが、
早起きして良かった!と思います。

キャプテン、船のクルーがフレンドリーにお迎えしてくれて、
上船したらなんと虹(ダブルレインボー)が頭上に現れ、
すぐに不安はふっとびました!笑船からの朝日もとてもきれいです。

ナパリコーストまでは結構距離があります。
予想以上にスピードをだして、目的のポイントまで向かいます。
なんども体が中に浮きました^^;ジェットコースターが好きな私は楽しめました。
終始通り過ぎていく景色に夢中でした。

びゅーーーんと折り返し地点まで向かい、そこからはゆっくりと説明を加えながら
ナパリコーストの絶景を楽しめます。
海岸沿いにできているシーケーブ(洞窟)にも接近してもらえました。
いろいろなところに滝をみることもできました。

ナパリコーストを楽しんだら、ニーハウ島へ向かいます。
これもまたかなりの移動距離!真っ青な海のなかを進んでいきます。
鳥がたくさん飛んでいました。ぼーっと観ていたら鳥が海の中に入っていき魚を捕まえていました!
波の合間をすーーと飛んでいく鳥は見ていてあきません。

ニーハウ島の横にできているクレーターに近づくとどんどん海の色がきれいになってきます。
ここで泳げるの!?とテンションは上がり、
シュノーケルスポットではシーモンクを発見!
海中では見られなかったけど海水から頭をぽこっとだした姿はとてもかわいらしかったです。
たくさんの魚やサンゴをみることができました。

船上のクルーはいろいろな話をしてくれます。質問をしたら丁寧に答えてくれます。
愉快なキャプテンとフレンドリーなクルーがこのアクティビティを
盛り上げてくれたと思います。

最後はニーハウ島からカウアイ島までもびゅーーーーんとかなり揺れながら帰って行きます。
スプラッシュもすごいので、ウィンドブレーカーがあればいいかもしれません。
ふちに座ると目が開けられないほどのスプラッシュにかかります。
最初は楽しんでいましたが、1時間も続くと少しやっかいです^^;笑

冒険したい方、大自然を感じたい方!ぜひ参加してみてください!!!
真っ青な海を体感できました。本当に秘境にで

Lehua Crater & Na Pali Coast Guided Snorkel Tour with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Very Nice Day on the Water

Reviewed by: amythann, 2011/08/22

We love boat rides and this was a great sightseeing and snorkel tour. The boat was comfortable and had good indoor and outside seating. Also two heads which was a nice feature. This is the only boat that crosses the channel from Kauai over to Niihau and the little island of Lehua which is where we snorkeled. They provided fins (we brought our own mask and snorkel) and "noodles" which I appreciated since I am a bit fearful of snorkeling. Also a great spread of cold cuts, with all the trimmings and lots of vegetables, and dessert for lunch. They are very safety-conscious, but I wish there was a better way to impress upon people that the crossing is rough and they should always hold on or sit down, because the constant lecturing got a bit tedious. I definitely recommend doing this trip, though.

NaPali coast tour

Reviewed by: Tim and Christie, 2011/08/03

The Na Pali coast is gorgeous and something everyone should see, especially from the sea. Our boat sat 12 guests and was very fast, but smooth. I didn't get sea sick on this fast boat and didn't really even get wet! We did the beach landing and snorkeling. Snorkeling was good and the hike to the Hawaiian village was interesting and informative. I would recommend this activity.
