Best Catamaran Tour To See the Na Pali Coast: Kauai, Hawaii

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.

Best Catamaran Tour In Santorini, Greece

Looking for an amazing yachting experience during your trip to the Greek Islands? I’ve got you covered with the best tour in all of Santorini: Caldera Yachting Gold Sunset Tour.

Santorini, Greece Excursion Review: Caldera Yachting

OVERVIEW:

If you can only do one excursion on the island of Santorini in the Greek Islands, this is it! Caldera Yachting made my experience on their Caldera Gold Sunset Tour unforgettable. From start to finish, everything was perfect!

The experience:

This famous Sunset Cruise begins from Oia and the picturesque Ammoudi bay. The first stop is in Thirassia island for a refreshing swim and snorkeling in its crystal-clear waters. Then, we continued sailing towards the Volcano and the Hot Springs which was a really cool spot.

Sailing along the stunning Caldera coastline, the cliffs were magical and the ocean was so blue. They served us dinner and we got to see the famous White Beach and Red Beach. Then, they lined up the boat perfectly with the sun and we watched the best sunset we ever have seen.

The special thing about this tour is that you get to hit all of these sights from the water, which is breathtaking. Also, seeing the sun hit the famous Red beach is magnificent.

COMFORT:

The Caldera Gold boat was extremely comfortable. There were plenty of places to sit and the boat was not crowded at all. When the sun started setting it got a little bit chilly, and they already had blankets out and ready for us. There was also a bathroom on the boat which was convenient and the interior portion of the boat was super clean and new.

food:

The dinner that was served was OUTSTANDING. I did not expect this but it was some of my favorite food I had on the entire island on Santorini. Everything was super fresh and prepared so nicely, and everyone got seconds!

OVERALL REVIEW: 10/10

This was my absolute favorite experience during my entire trip to Santorini. The views were incredible, the staff on the boat was extremely lovely, and the sunset at the end was the icing on the cake! Couldn’t think of a better way to see Santorini by boat.
