Hawaii Boat Rides are Not FUN!!!


A Humpback Whale breaching!

The Na Pali Coast Line


My Dad wedged in between the table
so he didn't fall overboard!


Rikki and I soaking WET!

In the brochure it said see the Na Pali Coast on a sunset dinner cruise. After reading this we were sold! The cruise started out walking along a 5 foot plank to the roof of the ship...yep the roof. After walking the plank you crawled down a 5 foot ladder to the seating in the boat while being barefoot. To a normal height person this would be no problem, but to a little person this was going to be interesting. During the safety briefing they told us to look around and get to know the other passengers on the boat just encase you throw up on their feet. After hearing that warning my Mom was ready to jump ship and swim back to shore. The boat ride started out awesome we saw Humpbacks Whales everywhere breaching along the coast, but as soon as we hit the Na Pali Coast it was all down hill. The waves where huge and the rain started to poor! I looked over to the older woman setting beside me clinching onto a blue bucket and knew I was in for the ride of my life! The coast and the whales were beautiful, but the boat ride was not as such! But hey we were in Hawaii and that was good enough for me!
