Good , but not great

Posted on: 2017/04/20

Sorry we can't give this tour a perfect score. The weather was a bit windy for the type of adventure we signed up for and that we can say was not the tours fault! They were very up front in the beginning stating that we most likely won't be able to get to the caves or even half way due to the weather. We all were in agreement that we would try to make it as far as possible and if someone didn't want to keep going we would go back. I appreciated the fact that the guide gave us the option to try and reschedule or refund us the money. That was very nice. We opted to go anyway. The travel to the na Pali state park was a bit scary for me. Me , my husband and 3 boys ages 18, 14 and 12 were on the tour. We are all very athletic and holding onto the rooe was exhausting. It surely was an adventure ! When we arrived to the park , we were all freezing from having gotten wet and the wind made it more cold. We were given our snorkel gear, but some wanted to just bask in the sun to get warm. The lunch they provided was so delicious. After lunch , they quickly gathered our bento lunch boxes and announced we were going on a hike. Well , that part seemed to have takenforever to get going. Too much lag time. We were standing around for so long waiting for the guides to get us going. Finally , one of us said , well, are we going ? This was about 45 min after they announced the hike. One guide decided to stay back while the other guide took us on the hike. The hike was nice. We ran into a remote beach that had several resting turtles After we got back , it was then time to head back in the boat. The ride back wasn't as treacherous as it was going there. We were so disappointed to not see the caves ...but to our surprise and pure luck ...we spotted a whale! Not one, but 2! That made the whole trip worth while ! Maybe we can come back when the weather is better. Summer maybe.
