If you’re even thinking about doing a NaPali Riders tour… stop thinking and just book it. Captain Mack and Cassie made this one of the most epic experiences I’ve had on Kauai. From the second we left the harbor, I knew we were in good hands. Captain Mack is the real deal. Confident, calm, and totally in control of that boat. Her throttle work when the winds kicked up? Impressive! She knew exactly when to ease us through the swells and exactly when to punch it and give us that “hold on to your hat and scream-laugh” thrill ride. I never once felt unsafe, just exhilarated. We got up close and personal with dolphins and even whales. It was unreal. And the Na Pali coast? I don’t care how many photos you’ve seen… nothing prepares you for those cliffs rising straight out of the sea, the sea caves, the colors, the drama of it all. It’s breathtaking! Cassie and Captain Mack both brought the best island energy… laid back but sharp, fun but professional. Total “aloha spirit” vibes. They were knowledgeable, answered every question and made sure everyone felt included and taken care of. I feel like I got every penny’s worth and then some. Can’t wait to go back. 🤙🌊 Mahalo, NaPali Riders.

Napali Riders are the best! This is a small family owned business and we are so happy we went with them! Brandon was our awesome and super experienced captain, and was able to get us into most of the caves. We also saw TONS of whales! He definitely prioritized safety but wanted us to be able to see and do as much as possible. The ride is bumpy but in a super fun way, and there are different parts of the boats you can choose to sit on depending on how calm/adventurous you want the ride to be. They are super knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the coast and the different communities and history there.

Great crew and captain. You are up close and personal with the Napali coast ! From the first moment, to the last, the crew is there to engage you and keep you excited for the trip. One note, morning trips can be cold. Bring a hoodie or jacket that can get a little wet.

The staff were great!! Since it was the winter we did not get to snorkel but it was the right decision based on our captain’s recommendation for d as safety. They did offer some swimming adventure instead. Would love to book d as gain in the summer season.

Captain Mac and Kassie did an incredible job and showed everyone a great time! Their knowledge about the ocean, island and boat really showed. If you’re doing the afternoon tour and have never experienced rough water, highly recommend taking Dramamine, it’ll be a lifesaver.

My wife and I are both in our late 50s and neither of us had any concerns before, after or during the tour. We chose the 7 am tour. Be mindful to be at the office by 615 am. It was a nice adventure and extremely scenic. You'll get much closer to the cliffs and waterfalls than you would in a helicopter. Throughout the four hour tour we saw at least 50 Dolphins (probably closer to 100) cruising next to our boat less than 10 yards away and a dozen whales further in the distance. The Captain and Cassie (crew member) made us feel comfortable and showed us a great time. My opinion, this is the best way to see the Napali Coast. If you're thinking about this tour, just do it, it's definitely worth the money.
