      Very personable tour guides. Great narration thru-out tour of Na Pali Coast and history. They keep you engaged thru out the whole time. Breath taking scenery, Waterfalls, Cliffs, Dolphins, Fish, you name it. Felt 1000% safe and in good hands. These people know their area. The guides constantly asked if anyone wanted to switch to a more comfortable spot on the zodiac to ensure no one was forgotten. High energy tour. I would love to take it again when in town. It is a family run business and a fun family environment all around!!! Best part of my vacation!! Cheers!!! Thanks Cpt's Brandon & MacAyla Matty C and Ritchie 04/28/2024 11:30-3:30

      Fun and safe spectacular day
      Karen_T, Apr 2024
      We had a blast! Captain Brandon, Micheala, & Croix did an excellent job keeping us safe, happy, and well informed. Breathtaking scenery and great fun. I’ve done this before on a boat and a catamaran, but nothing compared to Napoli Riders
      Nothing more to add to all the glowing reviews. Go for it. You won't be disappointed.

      perfect sunny, calm morning. cave entries awesome as were hanging out (twice) amongst the huge pod of spinner dolphins. Crew was fun, informative, friendly, courteous, and safety oriented.
      Best adventure in Hawaii!
      Anna_S, Apr 2024
      Brandon & Kayla were excellent! Knowledgeable about the history of the coast, lots of fun and laughter and gave us an unforgettable time. I’ve been to the Hawaiin islands many times and this was by far our faborite adventure. If you’ve never witnessed the amazing splendor that is the Na Pali coast, please go, you will not regret it, and this the group to go with.
      Beautiful views, informative, and great crew!
      Stephanie_S, Apr 2024
      Highly recommend this tour. The staff was great and made everyone’s safety and enjoyment a priority. We went with our adult children and everyone had a great time. We saw two large pods of spinner dolphin and because we were in a raft were able to get very close to them as they swam and jumped around us. The views of the Na Pali coast was spectacular and the captain was very knowledgeable and enertaining.
      Best ever

      Memorable experience

      Amazing views! Loved the dolphins, Captain Brandon and Croy were awesome! They really took care of us!
      You have to do this while at Kauai - these guys are awesome!!!
      Neil_S, Apr 2024
      Brandon and Croy were amazing on the water. Brandon knew exactly how to maneuver the boat. Croy took care of everything else. You have got to do this when on Kauai!!! Do make sure you bring a little extra snacks if you go in the afternoon and do know it is a very bumpy ride, but totally doable!! Buy the Dramamine or take some with you just in case - trust me on this - DO NOT get motion sickness and I was glad I did it. The views are spectular of the Napali coast and the whale watching was awesome!
      The Ride of a Lifetime

      I happened upon this tour after planning a plane ride of Na Pali fell through. God works in mysterious ways because seeing HIS handiwork by sea was meant to be! Brandon and Croix were amazing♥️ and this tour is a must when traveling to Kauai. It was so great getting to meet them. Can’t wait to return!
      Amazing

      An unforgettable experience
      Jocelyn_G, Mar 2024
      This was one of the best experiences ever for my Fiancé and I. The crew was very knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe and well taken care of. They made sure to explain all of the different parts of the Napali coast and its history for each location. I would definitely do this again, and we highly recommend this crew.

      Thank you Jocelyn!
      Such a cool experience
      Keri_C, Mar 2024
      This tour was amazing. The boat ride was so much fun and had me and my daughter laughing so hard. Captain Brandon and Makayla were so so friendly, knowledgeable and held our safety as their number one priority. The views of the Napali Coast were stunning. Since its winter the surf was a bit too rough snorkel, but we were still able to find a calm area to swim. We also saw so many dolphins, a sea turtle and several whales including some close up time with a Momma whale and her baby calf. Would 100 percent recommend this tour.

      The mamas with their calves are the best ! We can't get enough of them!

      The tour guides were wonderful! They provided great background, made sure we were safe with not as ideal weather and helped out when seasickness arose. Loved the tour and had a great time viewing the beautiful coast!
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      We are so glad you had a great tour! Sea sickness is a rough one and we try to do as much as we can to assist! Mahalo!
      Everything we hoped for

      The best way to see the sunrise on the Nā Pali Coast.
      DDee_H, Jan 2024
      My wife and I have always wanted to see the Nā Pali Coast and going with Nā Pali Riders was the perfect experience. Captain Brandon is super chill and clearly knows how to run a boat. Sawyer was super helpful with getting everyone ready and keeping us informed. It was clear that safety was the highest priority. While we didn’t get to snorkel due to the conditions we were instead treated to the best whale watching tour I’ve ever experienced. A couple of tips for those considering the trip. The ride is pretty bumpy. If you get motion sick, make sure you take something ahead of time. Sitting toward the back of the boat will limit the motion quite a bit. Also, you’ll probably get wet, but you’ll dry out pretty fast. Being a towel and/or a sweatshirt with you (they supply dry bags).
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Capt. Brandon and Sawyer make a great team! Mahalo for choosing us to take you to NaPali!
      Choose these guys!!!
      Katie_B, Jan 2024
      Wow! We are so glad we choose this tour (based on the reviews!). Captain Brandon and deckhand Makayla were awesome. Besides their skills and knowledge they were fun and hilarious. They did a great job keeping us safe, showing us the amazing coast, and hunting down whales and dolphin to see. We also loved that this is a family owned business on top of the captains being members of coast guard or veteran coast guard! Best experience and worth every penny!
      Response from Host, Mar 2024
      Katie thank you for the very thoughtful review! We are so glad you had a great trip.
      Exciting Time
      Chandra_D, Jan 2024
