A Wonderful Experience - We were looking for a relaxing & friendly cruise of 2 or so hours. This checked all the boxes. In 2014, we did a cruise off the Napali coast, but it was 4-5 hours longer & the water was much more turbulent & 2 of us got very seasick. This time everyone was happy, feeling well & the scenery & crew were awesome - we highly recommend the Kalapaki Kai 2 Catamaran cruise.

Book it, you son of a Beach!.....Boys - We did the Sunset Cruise and the Beach Boys were the best crew we could've asked for. Captain Stevie, Mitch & Brandon were all super friendly and helpful. Captain Stevie knew a lot about the history of the land, the local plants, fish/fishing and most importantly, he kept us laughing the entire trip! Only book with the Beach Boys if you want to have a relaxing, beautiful boat ride down a river at sunset. *One important thing to note: you do not see a clear view of sun setting, but you do see the gorgeous colors of the sunset in the sky while you are making your way down the river. Despite that, believe me, it is worth it!

An enjoyable outing! - My sister and son truly enjoyed the hospitality of Captain Steve and crew. The history narrative along with information about the Menehune and plants. I got great pictures of the sunset that won't upload. I hope you will enjoy this excursion as much as we did!

We rode on the sunset cruise. Ocean was too rough to venture out but that was fine - It was such a wonderful way to end our vacation. Beautiful low key trip down the river. Great music and narration. Absolutely recommend 10 out of 10!

Relaxing river cruise - The crew was great, the views were beautiful, the history was interesting, and the drinks were delicious. Thanks to Wendell and Mitchell for showing us a great time! It was too cloudy to see the sunset but it was still a lot of fun.

Fantastic trip - We had a great time on the sunset tour. Wendel, the captain, kept us entertained with historical and nature stories about the route. Mitchell, the crew and bartender was great at providing beverages and snacks.

Sunset cruise - I have been to Kauai many times and have never gone on this sunset cruise. I enjoyed seeing a part of the island I have never seen before. Would recommend it for one time only.
