A must do excursion! - The crew was so amazing! Throughout the entire day they continued to check on all of us and had so many personalized touches. They were so knowledgeable and made the day so much fun! I would highly recommend them over a large commercial company.

Amazing 4hr trip - Amazing tour of the Na Pali coast. The zodiac lets you see the cliffs and beaches up close and going into the caves was a ton of fun. The staff was very friendly and knowledgable of the area.

Amazing must see - Absolutely well worth the money. Do not miss the opportunity to see the Na’ Pali coast it is a must see. Corey and Payton were amazing as our captain and crew. They really kept a close eye on all of the guests, and very attentive to anyone who needed them. They were well prepared to deal with anyone who experienced motion sickness, and tended to them quickly. At the same time making sure everyone had an enjoyable experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Na Pali Coast Zodiak Tour - My husband and I had a great experience. Captain Mac and Photographer Tom did an amazing job from start to finish. We took the 0700 tour since the ocean was projected to be rough- which it was. Mac steered the boat expertly and nobody in the tour was sea sick. The cliffs were amazing- try to capture a photo of the cliffs with a helicopter to get a perspective of how massive they are. The water was too rough to go into the caves or to snorkel but we came across a pod of several hundred dolphins and it was amazing to see them so close. I highly recommend the tour! If you are prone to motion sickness, do the morning tour. If you can handle a bumpier ride, do the afternoon tour since the light will be more in your favor for capturing photos.

This is the only boat tour worth doing! - Napili Riders was the highlight of our trip to Kauai. This small local business truly loves what they do, and it shows! Captain Mac and Captain Brandon were exceptional, making our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend them, 10/10!

Disappointing: Tour was cancelled for no understandable reason - We booked the midday tour after carefully looking at the weather forecast regarding wind and waves The evening before I got a call that the weather forecast would be bad (strong wind), and they would ask us to move our booking to the morning trip - or do the trip the week after. This was not feasible for us, so we accepted the cancellation of the booking. The day of the planned trip was like the weather forecast: low winds and low waves. Our statement now: If you would have told us there are not enough bookings for the afternoon: no problem. But talking about strong winds where everyone has lots of weather apps, is not what we would have expected. That’s why we give a rating of only 2 points.
