Our family (6 adults) booked this tour after reading reviews of similar offerings in the area; now that we've experienced it I would recommend this tour to everyone I could. The 6am check-in was early for vacation, but it was 100% worth it. Our crew was Captain Cole, Kai, Jayce, and Collin; each member was incredibly kind and a pleasure to interact with on the boat. Kai took the time to chat with my partner & I throughout the morning, asking us about ourselves, answering all of our questions and sharing great stories about the area. By the afternoon it was clear he had made everyone around us so comfortable, and we all loved chatting with him. The stories & conversations I had with Cole, Jayce & Collin were similarly wonderful and I honestly don't think I had one want the entire time I was on the tour - they all took such great care of us throughout the day (always providing information on conditions, what to look out for, exciting wild life, etc.)!
7 hours is a long time to be on the water, but the boat was lovely (not too crowded at all), the food good and the schedule felt well thought out (Ni'ihau in the morning, snorkel, back to Kaua'i for the Na'Pali coast tour). While snorkeling we saw clouds of different fish (very close), an octopus & 2 monk seals! The team was available the entire time if we had concerns / questions while in the water and their safety briefing beforehand left me feeling quite safe entering the water. Along the tour we also saw a pod of Hawaiian spinner dolphins & a bottlenose dolphin!
Truly an incredible experience, and a highlight of our 2-week trip to the islands; I think the crew deserves a lot of recognition for making it so enjoyable. 10 / 10 would recommend every time.
