Overview
Enjoy the Na Pali Coast, snorkeling, hiking and a catered lunch. The valley is full of artifacts of the ruins of an 800 year old Hawaiian fishing village. The barrier reef and thriving reef ecosystem supported thousands of ancient Hawaiians. The beach landing is based on weather and ocean conditions. During the months of October through April, the surf can be higher and beach landing is conditional based on current ocean activity. All summer rafting tours now depart from Kekaha – closer to the Napali Coast.

The zodiac raft adventure up the Na’Pali coast is a MUST on Kaui. Captain Allison and 1st mate, Keanu, are the best guides! From the booking to the arrival and tour, everything was straight forward and well executed. Please do not go their offices for the departure location, follow the directions in your confirmation email. I was a bit annoyed that this large group on the raft had half of their party hold us up because they didn’t follow the directions. Fortunately, the crew was accommodating to their party and gave them a time cap to arrive before our departure.
The raft isn’t a kickback, enjoy at your leisure experience. Rather you are using your core and grip strength to hold on to the raft ropes for dear life. There are 3 “relief seats” at the back of the raft for those that are physically unable to safely hold on anymore. My observation of the people who used it were the older and out of shape individuals. Aa for the motion sickness aspect, I took 2 Target brand motion sickness pills and wore the pressure point bands and I was surprised I didn’t get nauseous at all, which made the experience that much better.
As for the tour itself, it was epic that we saw 4 pods of dolphins throughout the morning. The crew said that is rare because some days there are no sightings at all. The tour of the coast was epic there were waterfalls, sea caves and all of the majestic coastal features. Ultimately, if you are physically capable of doing this experience it needs to be on your must-do in Kauai!
