Captain Paul and Josh were awesome. I was travelling solo and had the ABSOLUTE TIME OF MY LIFE! Book this if you want to have FUN! But be prepared, it’s on a pontoon & you’re going really fast ! My body is sore from the ride yesterday from holding on tight all day! You will HAVE A BLAST ! Book early morning for best scenery!
This is a good time. KK and Hailey were awesome. I highly recommend this tour. This is the fun boat. Don't take the boring larger watercraft.
Thank you Joshua!
We couldn't have had a better experience! Our captain and co captain were a great team. They were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Fun rafting experience, good food and plenty of drinks.
Mahalo - glad to hear you had a great time!
KK and Haley were the best of the best. The trip was amazing, but then having them as a host made it 100 times even better. We danced and sang. The whole boat had a blast no doubt. If you book this trip you must book with these two ladies!!! They bring the party, teach you about their culture, and keep you safe. Thank you ladies for one of the best days of my life!!!
That's awesome- thank you for sharing with us, we love hearing about the good time folks are having!
Saw so many dolphins and went into the caves. Not for the faint of heart. Gets you super close but more an adventure tour than a luxury tour.
Awesome!
Kk, and Emmy were the greatest tiur guides ever. Loved everything from the conversation to the music and the boat driving. Excellent!!
Awesome!
This was an extremely worthwhile and exciting experience. I will caution that the raft tour is very rocky, bumpy, and you will get soaked from all the sea spray, however it’s an exhilarating way to see the beautiful cliffs, caves, and sea life. My family and I absolutely loved the experience, I highly recommend for thrill seekers and those wanting to get up close and personal with Kauai’s natural beauty. Our guide did a wonderful job making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey, Paul was an excellent captain and extremely knowledgeable on all of the history of the island.
Sounds great! We're glad you had a good time!
Very good experience.highly recommended. The captain kk took us to all the arches inside and had exceptional views!
Sounds great, KK is awesome!
Believe in the high adventure level of this experience. Our captain Duffy and crew mate Hayley were fantastic!
Sounds great- thank you for sharing with us!
This is definitely the way to visit the Na Pali coast, but only if you're up for the adventure! I seriously thought when they put "Adventure" in the title, that it was the way to attract customers, but the trip was actually an adventure - so make sure you are physically and mentally ready for this one! From the incredible and interesting information from the guides (KK and Kiolo (sp?) were outstanding!!!), to the many caves and waterfalls that we either saw, went in or went under, to the snorkeling, to the phenomenal ride there and especially back, the excursion was even more exciting than what we had all hoped for! I went with four adult teens, and we all had a great time! I've (55M) been to the coast before but that was on bigger boats; this was a new experience for me, too, as I had never been so close to view that part of the incredible coastline. The ride back felt like a long, awesome roller coaster ride (but even better than that!) full of twists and jumps on the waves - we had soooo much fun. I can't recommend this MORE HIGHLY!!
We really appreciate your very high recommendation as well as the detailed description. The rafts can be a bit more challenging, we're happy to hear you enjoyed your excursion!
