Stop reading and book the trip! Zodiac excursions are by far the best way to "sea" the Hawaiian islands, and you won't regret picking Na Pali Pirates! Erica and Corbin were super fun and loved sharing the beauty of Kauai with us. Erica safely navigated the boat in and out of crazy cool caves and stopped for ALL the dolphins; she is a fantastic captain, and her love for Kauai is contagious! Corbin was also a lot of fun and gave us quite the adventurous ride back to harbor! We also enjoyed the quick snorkel stop; the visibility wasn't great, but the snorkel gear was good and we did see one turtle. I wouldn't book this trip if you are looking for the best snorkeling in Kauai, but I would highly recommend it if you are looking for the best all-around adventure on Kauai! It was definitely the highlight of our trip!

We had a great experience on our tour. Erica and Corbin were amazing guides. We saw some really cool stuff and were able to make it all the way around the coast (which we understand some days isn't possible due to water conditions). The snorkeling was just ok but still cool to do. We got to see pods of dolphins and turtles. The views are incredible and going into the caves was awesome.

Incredible experience! Captain Jake and Nolan set the tone for a fun, adventurous day from the dock. Though they can't control the weather, how clear the views were and the places they were able to take us made the experience that much better. I highly recommend Na Pali Pirates and their raft tour if you are physically able. You won't regret it!

An absolutely unreal experience. Do not skip this while visiting! Jake was our captain - he and his crew were not only so much fun and all the best vibes, but full of beautiful stories of Kauai. We’ve marked something special off our bucket list with this tour, but we’ll be back again and again! Thank you Na Pali Pirates! ❤️

AMAZING! So much fun and Jake and Shea were the best! The experience was like no other, breath taking views and a thrilling adventure! Jake has great stories as we toured the coast (a few corny jokes that kept us smiling as well!) Highly recommend! Thanks for an unforgettable day!
