"Not to miss! We did the morning snorkel and BBQ trip along the Na Pali coast. Seeing the Na Pali coast by boat is incredible. Our captain and crew were awesome too- they were fun, clearly loved what they do and definitely added to the whole experience with stories and history of the area, pointing out sights, etc. This was the highlight of my trip to Kauai!"
