They told us upfront that there was only a 50% chance we’d be able to make it to the Na Pali Coast, as the weather report indicated high winds. They said we could take our chances or reschedule...we decided to take a leap of faith, and we’re glad we did! We ended up not making it all the way up the coast, but we did get close enough to see it. That was a bummer, but we quickly learned there was much more that this tour had to offer! We had never seen so much ocean wildlife. Dolphins swimming just next to the boat, hundreds of them! We saw humpback whales breaching continuously. We saw sea turtles while we snorkeled. It was a beautiful experience, even though we couldn’t make it all the way there.
That being said, if you get seasick, think carefully if you want to go. The swells were big and the boat was rocking! Thankfully they brought around salty snacks and played some AC/DC to get us pumped up to brave the high seas. A bunch of people got sick but that’s showbiz! Eyes on the horizon.
The captain and staff were wonderful and a big part of what kept our spirits high and feeling taken care of even in the bumpiest patches. So glad we decided to try our luck!

Thank you so much for sharing that wonderful experience - wow, you all really had an action packed adventure! You are so right, especially this time of year, Dec-Feb., the seas can be unpredictable. BUT, providing it’s safe enough to go out, the amazing ocean life coming out to play during these months is usually more than worth it! Again, Mahalo for taking the time to tell us about your trip- we look forward to seeing you next time🤙🏾
