We enjoyed the five hour Napali Coast and snorkel trip. This is a beautiful tour of the Napa Coast and a wonderful way to take in the scenery. Includes about an hour of reef snorkeling and a delicious deli buffet lunch. Captain Lani Swain and his wife Debbie are the real deal! They are genuine good people, friendly and sincere.... More

You can never be sure of what to expect when you book an adventure but this catamaran trip was incredible. Beautiful sunny day and a comfortable boat with only 18 passengers plus Erin, the crew, and the Captain Lani. Check in was simple and pleasant, with just a short walk to the pier. Safety in mind always with instructions on... More

A day after the rains caused the bridges of Hanalei Bay to close, my family of 5 (including 3 teenage boys - yes, I'm a princess in my mind!) found ourselves aboard the beautiful catamaran Kahanu. Having been to Kauai before and taken one of the larger, more commercial catamarans, yes - those serving alcohol, on this day I was... More

This was a wonderful experience in many sense. One of our best things in Hawaii that we did in our two weeks visit-including kayaking/trekking/standing under the secret waterfalls on Wailua river, trip to Waimea canyon, polynesian cultural central, Hanauma bay, snorkelling and trying out several beaches and hotel resorts and our stay in Hyatt in Waikiki and Kauai (south) and...

This Hawaiian family owned boat tour was quite enjoyable (March 2013). Erin, our guide, was great in explaining he surroundings and in answering our questions. The Captain is very knowledgeable and exceptionally experienced with the Hawaiian sea. We were able to view a hump back whale and its calf within approximately 20 feet from the boat. The captain was extremely... More

Hi everyone, We've been coming to Kauai for years so we've tried several Napali tours (big catamaran, zodiac and the last few years Catamaran Kahanu) and by far we chose to come back to Kahanu each year. We always feel very safe, the group is small so it almost feels like a private guided tour. The captain and crew member... More

Mahalo Captain Lani for an amzaing whale watching trip and allowing us to bring our Hawaiian youth on board Kahanu. They enjoyed getting wet up front while we searched for whales then when we finally found them it was beyond anything we could have imagined. It was a bucketlist experience. To be that close to these magestic humpback whales was... More

This was the highlight of our Kauai vacation. Took the 5 1/2 hour whale watch/NaPali/snorkel trip out of Port Allen. We were treated to see whales up close, dolphins (actually porpoises) right next to the boat, a delicious lunch, beautiful snorkeling, and a wonderful tour of the NaPali coastline. Captain and crew were great, emphasized safety, loved what they do... More

This was a perfect cruise for mom Betty. It was her first time in Kauai. I wanted her to experience the beautiful humpbacks. This was part of her 80th birthday. She has challenges getting around but was able to board and get around the vessel just fine. Captain Lani and Eric took excellent care of us all. Safety first. We... More
