Sunset cruise in Kauai. - We had a wonderful time on our sunset cruise. The crew was very friendly.
DO NOT USE THE 3500 RICECST. address that is the office NOT the boat. Use the Coat Guard station for a mapquest site, the boat is next to it.

Absolutely stunning!!! - The sunset cruise was amazing! Steven and Becca were perfect. The kids loved learning about all the movies that were filmed in Kauai and all of the Kauai folklore. The scenery was stunning and Steven explained all about the local vegetation. Becca is an amazing bartender and kept the drinks flowing. This is one on the best things to do. We can’t wait to come back again!!!

Fantastic experience on Kalipaki Kai. - We had a great time with Stevie and Becca. They were very friendly and gave us great information about the island. The drinks flowed freely and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. The ages on board ranges from about 4 to 80 years old.

Great experience - What an incredible time! We wanted to do something a little different and learn a little bit about the interior and plantation of Kauai. Definitely worth doing.

Beat the rain - It was great to be out in the bay opposite our resort, the Marriott Kuaui Beach Club/Sonesta. There wasn’t much of a sunset view opportunity,
The caption and host were really great and the narrative was really good too.
