We (2 couples) had a very good time on board Kahanu. Debbie (the captain's wife) booked us at the Kauai Beach Villas. While not cheap, $280 per couple, it was reasonable. The caterers didn't show up on time with the lunch so Debbie offered everyone a full refund if you wanted to cancel or wait for the lunch and leave... More

We had a wonderful time on Catamaran Kahanu and can't recommend it enough. The Captain is very experienced and drives this boat like the total pro he is. We were lucky enough to have a calm day and he said it was only like this maybe 12 days a year. The calm ocean allowed him to get up very close... More

Gotta Go! Really! Captain Kahuna seems gruff on your arrival, but you love him as the day goes on. His pride in being Hawaiin and his knowledge of the island is superb! What a great little vessel! You might think to yourself what are we doing on this little boat when there all these huge catamarans going out. WELL! think... More

We just returned from our trip. Catamaran Kahanu was a great choice. As others have said he only takes 18 people on his boat so there is plenty of room to get all the great visuals. We only had 13 on our trip. Christian the captain's assistant did a great job narrating along the way. We had great weather the... More

Just returned from our vacation to Kauai. We wanted to take a snorkel/sightseeing cruise. After tons of research we decided on Catamaran Kahuna. We were very pleased. The first mate, Christian, was extremely knowledgeable. The information about the islands was fascinating. The Napoli coast is truly beautiful. We saw dolphins. The captain let our sons, 8 & 4, lay on... More

We atttended this tour on April 26, 2012 and it was wonderful. Our tour had to be rescheduled from Tuesday because of other tour participants not being able to attend the tour. We are glad that we decided to attend the new date as the water was calm and allowed us to see waterfalls and sea caves more closely. Some... More

Just got back from a 10 day April vacation with my wife and 3 daughters ages 12, 11, and 8. One of our day trips was on Catamaran Kahanu with Captain Lani Swain. I would highly recommend them to anyone traveling to Kaua'i. For those of you wishing a more intimate trip and hoping to support a local business, this... More

Did lots of shopping around for a snorkel and island boat tour. This is a family run company. Other tours we have taken where you are just part of a group of 40 on a boat and over crowded. Not this tour! The average group is about 10-12 persons. The Captain is a local who knows all the great spots... More

We couldn't have been more happy with our choice to sail with Kahanu. We wanted an intimate Hawaiian feeling and we found it here. The captain and crew were born and raised in Kauai. The boat was so low to the water so we could see every detail of the sea life including, dolphins, turtles and fish. We were able... More
