Wondering what a Na Pali coast catamaran tour is like? This review talks about my experience sailing with Captain Andy’s, a popular boat tour excursion in Kauai, Hawaii.

OVERVIEW:

Looking for the best activity to do on the island of Kauai? Look no further! Captain Andy’s Catamaran tour of the Na Pali coast was one of my favorite things I’ve done on the island. It was such a beautiful day and the crew made it an unbelievable experience from start to end. We did the morning Catamaran tour just because in the winter months the mornings are more popular for ideal weather conditions.

THE EXPERIENCE:

Imagine a day packed with viewing wildlife, beautiful cliff landscapes, and turquoise water. That’s exactly what this experience is like. I was worried we wouldn’t be able to go to the coast because we went in January when the tours can sometimes be canceled going to the coast, but it was our lucky day! The day we went to the coast was one of the only days that week they went out, and I couldn’t have felt more lucky hearing that.

THE CREW: 10/10

The crew is one of the reasons why we loved this experience so much. They were so friendly and helpful in every way. The chef was so much fun and our captain was knowledgeable and made the experience so much fun. They always watched for wildlife sightings and made sure everyone was super safe during the entire catamaran ride.

ITINERARY: 10/10

The itinerary probably depends on the weather conditions and the day, but this is what our day looked like when we went in January of 2023.

The first stop was at a snorkeling spot with crystal clear, deep blue water. We saw a bunch of turtles from the boat and I also ended up swimming right next to one! There were some beautiful fish as well.

Then we saw a pod of about 50+ wild spinner dolphins, which was incredible. The captain knew the right spot to see these dolphins, and along the way to the coast, we also saw multiple whale sightings, including a baby and mom whale!

Then, of course, the Na Pali coast. We cruised by the coast and even got to get up close to one of the waterfalls coming off the cliff. It was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Overall, the itinerary was perfect and everything was timed out just right.

OVERALL REVIEW: 10/10

I loved my experience with Captain Andy’s! It was a day I will never forget and I hope this blog post was helpful for anyone who comes across it.
