Without a doubt, the best experience I've had on the island. It was a blast from start to finish. If you're more into adventure and thrill, this is the ticket. They take you into caves and aren't afraid to squeeze in. What we didn't expect, getting MAJA island stories and information while the captain/DJ plays some great music and choreographed movie scores to go with the vibes. We met hundreds of SPINNA dolphins and during the one hour snorkel stop, we were escorted by a beautiful Honu across the reef. The wife and I talk about this trip all the time. The jokes and good conversations are something to remember from the staff as well. read more

Easily One of the Best Experiences of My Life - 10/10 Would Do Again If you're debating whether or not to book with Nā Pali Pirates, just do it. Hands down one of the coolest things I've ever done. Captain Dom was the perfect mix of chill, knowledgeable, and safety-conscious--dude knew exactly how to handle the boat, even when we got up close and personal with some pretty intense waves near the cliffs and caves. And Chaz? Absolute legend. Kept the vibes light with some solid (and delightfully cheesy) jokes, plus he snapped a ton of pics so we could actually enjoy the moment without worrying about our phones. But the real highlights? Getting insanely close to the cliffs and feeling the sheer power of the ocean, then just floating out in the middle of nowhere, taking it all in. Oh, and did I mention we saw THREE whale breaches and a bunch of dolphins? Unreal. If you're on the fence, take this as your sign to book it. Zero regrets, just pure adventure. read more

Na Pali Pirates - Boat Tours Near Me

If you are looking to see the Na Pali coast at high speeds and incredibly close up while in Kauai, this is the tour for you. My son and I did the morning tour and had one of the most incredible experiences of our lives. Not only will you get up close to the cliffs, you will venture inside caves and thru tunnels w scenery that will leave you speechless. Our captain, Dom, and first mate Chaz were fantastic. Not only do they educate you with historical and geographical knowledge of the island, but Chaz will have you cracking up w his Dad joke "Dad-a-base" lol. If you are in good health, and enjoy a fast pace, exciting tour, this is for you. Mahalo!! \m/ read more

Na Pali Pirates - Boat Tours Near Me

Amazing!!! The twins rock! Those Ladies know how to run a boat and have an amazing time. My daughter was 8yrs old, a bit scary for her in the beginning but didn't want to get off the boat by the end. The warnings are real. This is not for somebody that doesn't like extreme adventures. Me personally, it was one of the best tours I have ever paid for! Your hands, arms, neck, and back will be soar but we'll worth ever bit of pain! loved it!! read more

We had the BEST time on this raft tour!!! We did the morning tour in early June and had perfect weather. The ride was bumpy and a thrill, which is exactly what I was hoping for. We were able to snorkel and see dolphins. Jake and Nolan were awesome. They made sure everyone was safe and having an amazing time. Music choice and sound level were great. If we are lucky enough to go back to Kauai, we will definitely be doing a Na Pali Pirates tour with Jake and Nolan again. read more

We always book with this company for our Napali raft adventure. Dom, the Captain made us feel safe while also zipping down the coastline and going in and out of caves! Jillian was also super kind and spent a lot of the ride chatting with our 12 yr old as well as the other guests. Both were super knowledgeable and made sure we had a great day out on the water. read more

Very good tour with really nice stops by Captain Roy and Captain Micah. Some parts they speed through, some are planned stops for photo ops. There is a great spot for 30 min of snorkeling on the tour. You can bring your own snorkel gear. Bring your own water bottle, they only have water to refill. But during snack time they serve up fresh pineapple, Hawaiian chips, granola bars and soda / Hawaiian punches. The place where they meet has restrooms, but not the cleanest. Best bet is to tell the captains and swim / pee in the ocean. We got off to a late start, but all was well. We got great sights of the Na Pali coastline, saw caves, waterfalls, etc. Learned some history. It was great! The boat (AM TOUR) rides like a roller coaster, hang on for dear life! But super fun as all heck! read more

The guides Erica and Chaz made the trip soooo fun! You can tell they love what they do and they are damn good at it too. I felt so safe with both of them while laughing my ass off. The views brought a literal tear to my eye and hearing all of their knowledge and stories from the island was unmatched. Thank you for making our girls trip epic. Seriously a once in a lifetime opportunity but I kept telling myself "I'll be back" read more

Na Pali Pirates - Boat Tours Near Me

Highly recommend this company when checking out the Na Pali Coast on a boat. This company has two parts.... The "experience" which is the catamaran type boat for a more leisure cruise along the coast or the "pirates" which is the same tour, just on a raft. The difference is that when you tour with the Na Pali Pirates, you get more of an adventure! The raft travels faster, it can go "inside" most of the caves, it rides those waves and best of all, the staff was awesome!!!! We had three guys guiding us..... Captain Jake, Micah and T?? Micah was very informative and gave us history and stories about the scenery we visited. Only a few of us caught on to his funny jokes. Captain Jake played awesome music and I felt safe riding on his boat. He really knows the ocean (not like the other company that sailed close to a divers boat). Although we were having the time of our lives they made safety their number 1 priority. The whole experience was amazing, they even gave us delicious pineapple during our snorkeling session. Oh...... riding back to the pier..... now that was another adventure! We jumped some waves and got splashed while singing our hearts out. If you're worried about sitting on the raft, there are two (2) chair like seats available on the raft..... you can't get much of a view because the front of the boat bends upwards, however, it's a nicer seat for anyone who needs to rest and relax from the epic wave jumps. I highly recommend booking with the Na Pali Pirates on your next visit to the the Na Pali coast line. Definitely worth it. read more

We had an incredible morning our on the zodiac boat witg Na Pali Pirates! We were fortunate enough to see a whale and her baby. The spinner dolphins were very active & there were a ton of waterfall on the "dry" side of the coast. The crew was energetic. I would very wary to anyone with any kind of neck or back concerns. You'll be hurting the next day. read more

We did a tour today 2/17. The weather has been iffy during the trip but we still went out, rain or shine. We had jake and Jake as our captain / tour guides. I can't recommend this company or those two enough. An amazing experience along the coast, fun boat and spectacular views. We hope to come back in the summer months and do the tour again. The website is 100% right about a rough ride on a old navy fast boat. Lots of sea spray and riding the waves. Most definitely would recommend to friends visiting and traveling. We weren't able to go into the sea caves with the rough surf, but got close enough for good photo ops and to enjoy the scenery. 100% would do it again. Also saw lots of whales, dolphins and turtles along the way. They make sure to stop and give the opportunity to check everything out. read more

DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!! Jake and Nolan were awesome guides. We saw whales, turtles, dolphins, fish, and a beautiful coast line. Both guides are very knowledgeable and made us all feel incredibly safe throughout the tour. They have "feet belts" and hand ropes, so you're very secure in the boat. Hands down, the best experience of my life. Just book it!!! You will NOT regret it!!!! read more

Best Tour of the thrilling exciting and beautiful Napoli Coast !! Ever !! We had the amazing Capitan Action Jackson And his outgoing knowledgeable and attentive First mate Corbin and they Were the best guides on this epic adventure It's a must do on your bucket list when you visit Kaua'i read more

Our experience with Na Pali Pirates on the rafting tour was nothing short of amazing! Highlight of our trip. Colin and Corbin were an awesome duo. Colin navigated the rough Na Pali Coast with ease and made our experience memorable by sharing lots of information about the island and coast. We got lucky with great weather and "summer seas" in late October. As one of the only boats out and about, we had the advantage of being able to boat through the various sea caves not once, but twice. What a special treat! Especially because it sounds like in the winter months the swell is too high to enter at all (including the days just before our tour). Snorkeling was a blast too. We would have loved even more snorkel time, but enjoyed the ~1 hour exploring the underground river and watching the sea turtles and fish. The beginning of the raft ride is exciting because you pass a huge pod of dolphins. Many were sleeping according to Colin and navigating the seas in pods. We really appreciated that Colin took care not to disturb the dolphins by speeding through them, like we saw several other tours do. Do NOT miss this tour with Na Pali Pirates! You will love it! It is special to see the Na Pali Coastline this way. CAUTION: Rough seas make this a very bumpy ride that is not good for those with injuries or seasickness. We loved the adventure and the company does provide all info upfront. read more

Can not recommend the Na Pali Pirates enough!! We were supposed to go on the tour early on in our trip, but our original tour was cancelled due to weather. We ended up rebooking and had to drive from the other side of the island - All I can say is - WORTH IT! Started our tour on a fun and thrilling boat ride on the rafting tour, very humbling to feel the gigantic ocean waves. Nolan and Jake were super knowledgeable and funny, made it super interesting to learn about the coastline. Saw spinner dolphins and snorkeled with sea turtles, had delish snacks (fresh pineapple and chips), and went exploring in some caves that were unbelievable. They even managed to get us a photo op in front of the cathedral. Definitely recommend if you have the chance! read more

Captain Erica and Nolan took amazing care of us. We got to see everything and more and they provided us with so much fun information you were just waiting to hear what they'd tell you next. Erica knows how to drive a boat, that's for damn sure. Nolan gave us excellent lunch and dinner reservations for after the tour as well. Couldn't recommend this group/company more, definitely a must if you are interested in boat tours of the Na Pali Coast!! read more

This was by far my favorite part of our week stay in Kauai. I mean you're in Kauai so how can you have a bad time, right? But for real, the guides Jackson & Nolan were phenomenally kind, informative and funny. Just overall personable human beings and we were so thankful to them for going out of their way to show us a wonderful and safe time. Between exploring the sea cave, learning about the history of the Na Pali Coast, and snorkeling in the clearest- bluest water, couldn't ask for a better experience. Mahalo read more

One of the best things we did while staying on Kauai!! We had Hawaiian Brian and captain Erica and they were PHENOMENAL! They shared so much history about the napali coast, the caves, what movies were filmed there, and even got us really close to dolphins! Luckily the day was crystal clear which doesn't happen all the time but we got lucky. It was such a memorable experience I would do it again. The ride back was a little bumpy but my husband and I enjoyed it (we did the AM) tour. Highly recommend! read more

This may have been the most fun I've ever had. Captain Jack and RJ were friendly, funny, and educated us on the history of Hawaiians in Kauai. I sat in the front of the boat and bounced with every big wave...so fun. We saw a huge group of dolphins surrounding us doing flips. We went under a waterfall and in the caves. Absolutely gorgeous views. I will definitely do this again next time I'm in Kauai. 10 out of 10 would recommend. Be ready for an ADVENTURE! read more

The Na Pali Pirates tour was AMAZING and a must do if you are in Kauai! My family of 7 enjoyed our cruise with captain Jake and Jacob aka Jake squared! They were so friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the coast. We enjoyed them so much that this was our favorite excursion on the island and a now must do for us when visiting. My mom was a little nervous for the speedboat as she sometimes deals with motion sickness but a little medicine an hour before the tour started was perfect and she had an amazing time! On the tour we saw many spinner dolphins and turtles along with the beautiful landscape of the Na Pali coast. Such breathtaking views that are really only possible to see by boat. They also took us to a great snorkeling spot in a reef off of the coast where we saw many schools of fish and tuna. Another amazing feature of the cruise was that the speedboat was actually able to enter caves which was so cool to experience and something that bigger boat tours can't do. Jake and Jacob had a great playlist on board as well which made the experience even that much better. Can't wait to come back again and recommend Na Pali Pirates to all our friends visiting Kauai! read more

AWESOME experience! If you are on Kauai this is a must! Out of all the companies, this is the best choice i promise. I did the helicopter as well and this experience I have to say was the best way to see the coast. COLLIN AND MICAH!! Thank you guys so much! We couldn't have asked for a better time. They have tons of good information about the island, the sea life, all of it. They make sure everyone has a great (also safe) experience. Even the younger ones on board were taken care of. We ran into dolphins, sea turtles, went snorkeling along the reef which was awesome to see. If you're going on this tour get ready for good times, fun people and good music along with the beautiful tour of the Na Pali coast! Thank you guys so much! read more

My wife and I lucked out when a different adventure fell through and Na Pali Pirates was available. Captain Jack and Roy are awesome, not only taking you to the absolutely stunning vistas you picture when you think "Hawaii," but also keeping things fun and even dropping some excellent history and fun facts. I love fun facts. We went in the winter so swells were decently large, which meant snorkeling and caves were a no go (for your own safety), but it was still well worth it. We were lucky to have a whale and her calf come up near us, and we saw plenty of spinner dolphins. My wife and I both loved it and would recommend it. read more

Had a great time on the tour with Jake and Micah! Folks on our tour were early so we got to leave early which meant we got to go further along the coast than usual. We went into about 5 sea caves including the iconic open ceiling one. Saw lots of wildlife, including 3 pods of dolphins (one within 30 seconds of leaving the harbor) and a number of turtles. Excellent playlist for riding the waves as well! Highly recommend. Just make sure you don't plan anything too ambitious for the rest of the day as the tour is exciting and a little tiring read more
