A Must Do! - Great family run business! Brandon and Peyton were excellent guides and they made us feel comfortable w our 10 year old daughter. But make no mistake, this is an adventure that will have you crushing waves, making your way into caves, and jumping into deep waters. It’s a breathtaking trip.

Best excursion! - What an incredible day! Our teenagers said it was one of the most fun experiences they’ve ever had. The views of the coastline were absolutely breathtaking. We even got to see humpback whales and dolphins along the way. Captain Makayla guided us safely through the waves with total confidence and kept us entertained with great music and interesting stories. We’d recommend this to anyone who wants a safe but adrenaline filled ride

Fantastic Adventure! - Captain Mac and wannabe Captain Tom were fantastic! They kept it safe, fun, and informative. We saw dolphins and the entire Na Pali cost with caves. It was amazing! We also learned how the cliffs were formed and fun facts like Jack Sparrow stood here. I loved it!

Absolutely amazing raft adventure - We had an absolutely amazing raft adventure with Na Pali Riders yesterday! From start to finish, the experience was unforgettable. The views along the Na Pali Coast were breathtaking, the snorkeling was incredible, and the entire crew made the day truly special. A huge hooray to our captain, Makayla, who navigated very windy and bumpy ocean conditions with remarkable professionalism and confidence. We felt completely safe, protected, and well taken care of at all times. Her skill and calm leadership made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable, even through big waves. The crew was wonderfully cheerful and attentive, and the two trainees from Alaska and Wisconsin were fantastic, friendly, helpful, and full of great energy.

Super fun adventure to see Napali coast - Great trip to see Napali Coast up close! Guides were awesome and very knowledgeable. Didn't get a chance to snorkel because of cloudy conditions, so Captain brought us out for some deep water swimming instead. Highly recommend.

Crew was excellent with Captain Brandon serving as cruise director. Personalized itinerary of what nature had for us. - Great tour of the Na Pali Coastline that you cannot obtain with the larger boats. Got to experience what nature had to offer for that day which included hundreds of spinner dolphins and even Honu to provide us good luck on our excursion. Captain Brandon was an excellent guide and I recommend this tour for anyone looking for a great adventure and supporting local small business owners.
