Na Pali Odyssey — Local services in Kauai

We’ve been to Kauai tons of times and always have a great trip. We wanted to try something we’ve never done before and my husband suggested NA PALI ODYSSEY. We had a huge group 3 families of 4 (middle and high school kids) one grandma, and a bonus kid. I get sea sick, so I was a little nervous (but I took a Dramamine and I was fine). I would say we were laughing and smiling for the whole trip! We saw turtles, whales, dolphins and the most amazing cliffs I’ve ever seen. My son said he thought the views were more spectacular than Yosemite. Captain Aaron and Matt were such a great crew! We loved the music, jokes, and the VERY talented navigation of the waves and caves! I would 100% say this is a MUST DO if you plan on a trip to Kauai. The Napali coast is a natural wonder of the world, and seeing it from the perspective of the zodiac was like no other. We’ve hiked the trail and seeing the tiny part that we had done in perspective to the massive coastline was breathtaking. You don’t need anything special to go, just a swimsuit, sunscreen, glasses, camera, and some cash for a tip. The Na Pali Odyssey provides drinks, snacks and you don’t even need shoes! No matter how many trips you’ve taken to Hawaii, this will be a highlight for sure better than any ride...

Captain Aaron was the best. He had us cracking up from the moment he got there. I love that it’s a family owned business. He had so many stories and jokes, played great music, he just kept us entertained the entire time. If you are looking for a smooth sail ride this is not it. But if you are looking for a fun action packed tour with alot of activity and laughs this is your place to be.

First of all, the meeting spot is at Kikiaola Harbor. Heads up there’s nothing around like stores or restaurants so just come prepared. There are restrooms though.

There were a few rafts companies around so we saw that these ones were packed with people where they are sitting on the sides on the raft but Captain Aaron’s set up is alot different. He has 6 comfortable seats and for me I would pay the extra amount to enjoy this excursion with more comfort and less people.

This tour was so much fun, got to see the caves, take lots of photos, saw several dolphins. Great way to see and experience the Na Pali Coast. He also stopped so we could jump in the...

This tour was without a doubt the coolest thing we’ve ever done or ever will do!! I cannot recommend Napali Odyssey and Capt Aaron (and Matthew!) enough! We did a helicopter tour the day before which was great, but this boat tour is hands down the way to see the coast. We went in beautiful caves, saw countless dolphins, even sea turtles, and had the most fun ride! On top of all that, they played awesome music the whole time that made us feel like we were living in a movie. And a few country songs to make it a party :) Both Aaron and Matthew were extremely knowledgeable about the island’s history, sea life and the films and shows that we’re filmed along the picturesque coast. We were also treated to fresh fruit and juice and entertained with dad jokes and the thrill of a lifetime. 24 hours later and we’re still processing if the tour was real life or a dream. Don’t look any further, Napali Odyssey is a MUST DO!!!! (Pro tip for the ladies, bring a...
