Roller coaster in nature with a splash of ocean - I had a very fun time! Captain Brandon and Cassie were very knowledgeable and made everyone feel comfortable throughout the tour. Even though it was a bumpy and definitely adventurous ride, I never felt unsafe throughout the tour. The views of the Na Pali coast, the waterfalls, and the caves were breathtaking! I would love to come back again!

Best Possible Experience!!! - Captain Brandon and Cassie were amazing!!! They were so good at their jobs, really fun, had a great playlist, and talked us through the crazy fun adventure with humor and awesome stories! This was the best time imaginable. If this was the only thing we did during our week in Kaua’i it would have still made it an epic trip. We drove from Princeville, too! Worth every penny and mile!

OMG! The best time Ever!! - My mom and I had an amazing time on this raft tour! It was the most fun we’ve had together in years, and it’s a memory we’ll never forget. Captain Mac and Tom were awesome. They were friendly, funny, and made the whole trip exciting while making us feel safe the entire time. Seeing the sea caves and the beautiful Kauai coastline from the speedboat was an incredible experience. I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re visiting Kauai, this is a must-do. Thank you, Captain Mac and Tom, for giving us such a fun day and a memory that will last a lifetime!

Glenna’s and Michael’s Zodiac Experience - A wild ride - but I was never nervous Seeing the Na Pali from the raft was breathtaking. The crew were a wealth of info. And extremely comforting and supportive to the 2 young girls who were seasick. It was obvious that the crew didn’t see this as a job - it was their passion. Everyone had a great time including the Captain and his crew. We are honestly thinking about doing it AGAIN before we leave the island Can’t recommend Na Pali Riders enough!
