If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely can't miss seeing the stunning NaPali Coast. We offer a one-of-a-kind experience to do just that.

We were able to see an abundance of wildlife on our way to the Na Pali coastline. Humpback whales with newborn calf’s, turtles, goats and monk seals, these guys provided a family memory that will last a lifetime.

We went to see the Na Pali coastline, but we’re surprised with all the bonus wildlife. A new mother humpback with her calf, goats, sea turtles and a couple of monk seals. The overall trip was a winner for all members of our family.

Our tour was amazing. The crew was very personable and engaging with the customers. They're very knowledgeable of the locations we went to. They covered the history and significance of several of the sites. We were extremely lucky to experience a bucket list moment when we encountered a mother humpback whale and her newborn calf of only a day or two old in the shallows and allowed us to stay close to her and her calf for 20 or 25 minutes. They even came toward the boat and were only 10 ft from the side of our boat as they headed out to deeper water. We also saw turtles on the beach and two turtles mating in the ocean. Truly an amazing experience.

Boat and crew were great on the Amelia. The boat is layed out extremely well and comfortable. The Na Pali coast and caves are beautiful and a must see of kauai. Traveled with 10 and 7 year olds. Would recommend this tour!

The majestic beauty and history of this area made unforgettable memories for us! Whale sightings this late in the season especially of a momma and her less than a day old babe made us want to take the tour over again immediately. Not just another

It was a great experience. Na Pali coastline is stunning. We had a chance to see the dolphins and whales on the way. The crew was great. The only downside was that snorkeling felt rushed specially when it’s one of the best places to snorkel and you can only get there by boat.

We were lucky and had picture perfect afternoon weather with the sun bringing out all the colors along the coast. We were too early in rhe season for snorkeling but saw several whales, dolphins and a sea turtle along with nesting birds. Met all advertised expectations and the deckhands were good with the kids.

Captain Mike and his crew provided an amazing experience touring the NaPali Coast on the Amelia K. The views of this primitive, and mostly inaccessible, coast from the sea were breathtaking. The crew's deep connections to the area, going back hundreds of years, really resonated in their storytelling. We spent a week cruising the Hawaiian Islands and this was by far our favorite adventure.

We went on the afternoon boat tour April 7 on the Amelia K, with our boys age 9 and 11. It was our first time doing this type of excursion and it was so much fun with breathtaking views of the coast. Bonus seeing some dolphins, sea turtles, a humpback mom and baby, and a missile launch from the base. Kids had a blast being at the front of the boat catching waves. Captain Makana and his crew were super knowledgeable and experienced, they were very prepared to make sure everyone was safe and having a good time! We were too early for swimming and snorkeling (starts May 1st), so we will be back again! Happy to support a local family-owned business!

Epic Fun Day! Amazing views and interesting history of the Volcano and valleys. The staff is very friendly & professional and tended to everyone’s needs. Yes We’d definitely recommend them. We saw several Pods of spinner dolphins and a mother whale and baby. Started out with rain and finished with a bright sunny day 😎
