Exciting , fun, and beautiful! - Wow! What a great experience!! The Zodiak raft was actually very comfortable. Brandon and Tom are very professional and knowledgeable about the ocean and island. They shared many stories and history along the way which really makes the trip complete. got to see the caves as well as many dolphins. I would higly recommend this trip to anyone that wants to see the Napali coastline.

Awesome Experience!! - This was an incredible experience! We had beautiful weather so the ride was not overly bumpy and we were able to explore all of the caves and to go a little further than they typically travel. The scenery is so breathtaking!! Brandon and Cassie were very knowledgeable and provided a lot of information about the history and geography. The weather conditions also allowed us to snorkel. We also saw dolphins and sea turtles. I highly recommend!!

Fast and fun ride - Fast and fun ride on a zodiac boat that enabled cave access and a close up view of the amazing Napali Coast cliffs. Captain Croix and Peyton were knowledgeable and competent sea people. Not recommended for anyone not prepared for a bumpy ride or prone to seasickness as a sick person would wreck it for everyone else.

One of the most exciting and fun things I have ever done. - OMG.... Na Pali Coast Zodiac Raft sea Caves Expedition is a once in a lifetime wild ride. I was expecting a fun ride but I was not expecting one of the most fun things I have ever done in my lifetime. (And I flew fighter jets for 20 years) It wasn't just the ride! This is a small family run business and they make you feel part of their family. I think that is what made it so special. It was obvious, the Captain, an ex Coast Guard guy, was totally qualified and talented. We were all impressed with his skill and demeanor. Everyone in our little group said it was the total highlight of our trip to Hawaii.. You gotta do this!!!

Best Experience Ever!!!!! - This was an absolutely amazing experience for me and my kiddos today! From the minute we left the dock to the minute we returned it was fun-filled. We first saw a black tip shark feeding in the bay, then the Napali Coast was breathe-taking! On the way back we were pleasantly surprised by spinner dolphins who put on quite the show. Apparently this is a rare site, maybe once a month, so we felt excited that we were able to experience it. Mackayla, captain, is a little ball of sunshine and makes the trip that much better. Kenzie was so great with her knowledge of the Napali Coast and her sharing of the legends. Hands down our favorite experience in KAUAI and in the top ten highlights of magical experiences in my life!!!!

Trip was Canceled - Unfortunately an engine blew on our boat, canceling our trip to the caves just 30 minutes into the ride there. The bit we did get to experience was very fun and we were so disappointed we did not get to see the coast and caves, but enjoyed the hospitality and friendliness of the guides.
