Have just retrieved my shirt from the dash of your experienced and venerable “Jimmy” pickup.

Thank you for hanging onto it for me…more importantly, thank you from Sheila and myself for the most spiritual and uplifting experience of our Kauai visit.  We hope to someday go with you again to see the whales.  Till then we leave the beautiful monsters in your caring and capable hands.

Mahalo nui loa.

Kaua’i Sea Riders offers a discount rate for teenagers for the summer Na Pali Charters.

As a Mom of 3 I realize that traveling with the entourage can be stressful and expensive! In our normal busy lives it is hard to get everyone on the same page. So when you are visiting the Hawaiian Islands in summer with the family, check out Kaua’i's Na Pali Coast by Zodiac with Captain Tara and crew! This adventure on the ocean will surely get your kids to smile!

The above photo is of Bree, a recent High School graduate, who was lovin’ this vacation with her Mom (Melissa), Dad (Joe) and siblings Dean and Miranda.

My boyfriend Ryan and I went on one of your tours the week of Feb. 14th this year.  I have been on many whale watches and this one surpassed them all.  Having an experienced marine biologist guide makes a world of difference.  You are extremely knowledgeable and your passion for whales is infectious.

If your goal is to experience whales up close and personal then this is the Kauai whale watching tour to go on.

I hope you are doing well and I look forward to seeing you again next year!  Thank you for such an incredible experience!

Steve and I want to thank you again for taking us and our family last week out on your boat.  (I am the one who got so sick.  But I really appreciate your kindness.)  Everyone else had a great time!  We made memories we will never forget.

I really love how you took the time to teach us and fit us with our masks and gear.  And then got in the water to help Lizzy and I snorkel.  You made me much more comfortable in the water.  Now I just need to get my nausea under control!  Then I will think about going pro.

We are serious about taking you to dinner and a tour of Salt Lake if you decide to come and see your son.  We would love to see you again.

Thank your crew for us too.  You really run a class act!

My wife Sarah and I want to thank you for a wonderful trip on your boat on our march 2nd morning trip to see the whales, dolphins, fish and the sea turtles. It was very much a highlight of our trip to the island!

We will definitely recommend your trip to anyone interested in having a great day on the water, seeing all of the sea life. When we return to the island, we will book another trip with you.   Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion about the sea.

Na Pali Coast

“Tara, we just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful Napali Coast snorkel trip. Your efforts to focus on our interests was truly appreciated.  I was thrilled to be able to see the Spinner dolphins, Monk seals, Brown Boobies, Sea turtles, and all the tropical fish.  It was a biologist’s dream come true.  Wishing you a great summer season.” –Karen and Tony Santiago

NOW is the time to cruise and Snorkel Kauai’s NaPali Coast.   The Na Pali is gorgeous right now -  Sea Caves, Waterfalls, Spinner Dolphin and the rain of winter making the Sea Cliffs an emerald green!

Kaua’i Sea Riders is also monitoring and assisting in the tagging of a new Hawaiian Monk Seal Pup at Miloli’i beach, the oldest fishing village on the Na Pali Coast- What an awesome and remote location for the birth of this endangered species! Please come out with us and enjoy a unique and personal experience!

“Capt. Tara & Team – I want to thank you for the wonderful experience of snorkeling with you for three days this past week. While my husband was in meetings and I was snorkeling he took great comfort in knowing I was safe during my adventure with the Kauai Sea Riders.  He looked forward to hearing what I learned from Capt. Tara and saw during the morning snorkel adventure.   Thank you again.” – Anastasha Lynn, Tucson, AZ
