A must-do in Kauai! - The best experience we had in Kauai. Our pilot Steven, the marine guy, was exceptional. His playlist was on point with the fantastic scenery and his piloting skills were great (nothing for the faint of heart). If you don’t have Venmo, bring cash with you so you can tip the pilots - ours definitely deserved a little bit more :)

Do this! - Everything about this company was amazing. Pilot was exceptional, despite being an extremely windy day with lots of bumps there was no time when I didn’t feel completely safe! Put this on the top of your list of things to do.

Awesome Experience - This was hands down one of the coolest experiences I have ever done. Doors off is definitely the way to go. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to see parts of the island you can’t reach by foot!
