This experience exceeded... - This experience exceeded our expectations! The caves were magical and the cliffs majestic. Captain Brandon was not only personable, his years of experience was evident and put us all at ease. Definitely recommend. Our family of four all agreed we would happily do this again!

Epic experience! - Very cool experience, both the boat ride and the beautiful sites! The boat captain, Brandon, definitely knew what he was doing. It was a fairly rough day and he was throttling up and down to navigate the chop well! My wife had gotten sea sick in the past and a Dramamine enabled her to get through this awesome experience with no issues. Brandon got us into the tight caves even with the rough seas. Very much recommend these guys!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely... - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Unforgettable! If you’re looking for a thrilling, adventurous, and awe-inspiring experience—this zodiac boat tour along the Napali Coast is it. Not for the faint of heart! From the moment we launched, it was a wild ride—fast, bumpy, and completely exhilarating. The views of the cliffs, caves, and coastline will leave you speechless. A massive shout-out to Captain Croix and Alejandra-they were top notch from start to finish. They made sure everyone felt safe, comfortable, and informed while still keeping the energy high. And let’s talk about the playlist…. it was absolute perfection! It added the perfect vibe to an already epic ride. A few pro tips: leave your hat at home (it won’t survive), bring new clean water shoes, and ask for hand gloves—you’ll be gripping that rope during the action-packed parts, especially in the afternoon when things get extra wild. If you’re looking for a relaxing cruise, this isn’t it. But if you want an unforgettable, high-energy ride through some of the most jaw-dropping scenery on Earth this is your tour.

Absolutely Amazing Adventure - This trip was the best I have been on. Our Captain (Capt Brandon) and Crew member Payton were the best! Capt Brandon did a great job navigating the water and getting us into all the caves even a few extras!! Brandon and Payton took their time about explaining things to us and made sure we were all enjoying ourselves. The views from the ocean are absolutely breath taking!! This tour is a must!!!
