Nobody does Na Pali Coast better!
Rafts are without question the most popular style of boat on Na Pali Coast and with good reason. They’re fast, agile, and are the pinnacle of adventure on Kaua’i! Our raft captains and crew are the bad boys (and girls) of our company, and go by our alter ego name Na Pali Pirates. Our raft team is a group of highly skilled passionate individuals that take Na Pali Coast rafting to the highest level, all while maintaining that consistent “Na Pali Experience” tour quality and core values that we’re known for.
We offer 2 different departure times per day that vary in difference only in regards to conditions. In general, morning tours have calmer water with a higher chance of seeing dolphins, and our afternoon tours offer better coastal lighting, and greater odds of seeing turtles. Winds generally kick up around mid-day, so all guests should be prepared for a splashy exciting adventure!
IMPORTANT: All riders must be in above average physical condition and ready for a thrilling adventure, particularly in the afternoon. We accept riders as young as 6 and have no upper age limit, however, the majority of our raft riders seem to be the dare-devil types and typically fall between the ages of 8-45.
Note: If you’re looking to see the same sites, but on a vessel that is more tame and gentle, please select a morning tour on one of our other boats.
