Stunning sunset

The coast is BEAUTIFUL. The staff was exceptional. The food and drinks were yummy. FYI make sure you have transportation figured out! We tried to get an UBER for an hour before we finally got someone to pick us up. No taxis and the little town closes down after dark. 😩

Breathtaking Views and a Crew That Made Us Feel Like Family!

Our Nā Pali Coast sunset dinner cruise was absolutely incredible. The scenery is breathtaking and truly something you have to experience in person. Pictures simply cannot capture how beautiful the Nā Pali Coast is from the water. What made the experience even more special was the amazing crew. Captain Glenn, Noah, and Selma made us feel like family from the moment we were on board. They were constantly checking on us, keeping our drinks filled, preparing and setting out the food, and making sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. Their hospitality was outstanding. And the food was delicious! Between the incredible scenery, great food and drinks, and such a wonderful crew, it was a fantastic way to experience the Nā Pali Coast. We were visiting Kauaʻi from a cruise ship and had to figure out transportation to and from the dinner cruise. If you’re in the same situation and having trouble arranging transportation, I recommend trying Dianne’s Taxi. She was very friendly, stayed in communication with us, and coordinated our pickup and drop off, which made things much easier. The Nā Pali Coast is spectacular on its own, but Captain Glenn, Noah, and Selma made the experience even more memorable. We felt genuinely taken care of, had a wonderful time, and left with memories we will treasure forever. I would absolutely recommend this sunset dinner cruise!

Spectacular yet exercise caution

This was a first class experience along the coastline of Napali. The captain was very knowledgeable and prepared everybody in advance for what to expect noting that the seas could be rough. If one is faint at, heart and susceptible to motion sickness.this is probably isn't the adventure you're looking for but is certainly spectacular. I did fine as well as the others on the boat but my wife had a difficult time unfortunately. The snacks, the drinks as well as the dinner prepared were first class. In all, it's an enjoyable four hours. By the way, the staff were very kind and accommodating doing all they could to take care of my wife and make sure she had what she needed. Don't forget your Dramamine!
