\u201cYou HAVE to take a cruise along the Napali Coast!\u201d That\u2019s what almost everyone told us when we said we were going to Kauai, Hawaii. I\u2019m so glad we listened to them! Otherwise, we would have missed out on some amazing sights!<\/p>\n

Choosing a Boat Tour Company to Cruise the Napali Coast<\/h3>\n

The Napali Coast (also written as Na Pali Coast) lies along the northwestern side of the island of Kauai and the only way you can fully view the green-covered cliffs, ridges, and caves is via boat or helicopter. When asking for recommendations of which charter company to book a Napali Coast boat tour with, the top choice that kept popping up was Capt. Andy\u2019s<\/a>. So, we decided to give it a try and made our reservation soon after.<\/p>\n

Since we did a snorkel tour<\/a> the last time we were in Hawaii, we decided to book the Star Na Pali Dinner Sunset Sail<\/a>. According to the gal I talked to on the phone, the sunset tour provided the best lighting for photos. Plus, the menu for this cruise is almost entirely gluten-free (except for the appetizer and dessert). That meant Frans could safely eat the food<\/a> too! Oh, and in case you were curious, they can make the meal fully vegan as well if you request it ahead of time.<\/p>\n

After we checked in, the staff told us which crew to follow (two boat tours were taking off at the same time) and walked down to the docks. The boat has a \u201cno shoes\u201d policy so we all put our shoes in a storage cabinet before embarking.<\/p>\n

Passengers could then sit or stand on the front deck, atop the trampolines, by the tables in the rear, below in the lower dining area, or even up above with the captain. There was plenty of room to move around on-board so no one ever felt stuck in any one area. The ride was smooth for the most part (more about that later) and the crew was super friendly.<\/p>\n
