    Amazing!!! The twins rock! Those Ladies know how to run a boat and have an amazing time. My daughter was 8yrs old, a bit scary for her in the beginning but didn't want to get off the boat by the end. The warnings are real. This is not for somebody that doesn't like extreme adventures. Me personally, it was one of the best tours I have ever paid for! Your hands, arms, neck, and back will be soar but we'll worth ever bit of pain! loved it!!

    We had the BEST time on this raft tour!!! We did the morning tour in early June and had perfect weather. The ride was bumpy and a thrill, which is exactly what I was hoping for. We were able to snorkel and see dolphins. Jake and Nolan were awesome. They made sure everyone was safe and having an amazing time. Music choice and sound level were great. If we are lucky enough to go back to Kauai, we will definitely be doing a Na Pali Pirates tour with Jake and Nolan again.

    Very good tour with really nice stops by Captain Roy and Captain Micah. Some parts they speed through, some are planned stops for photo ops. There is a great spot for 30 min of snorkeling on the tour. You can bring your own snorkel gear. Bring your own water bottle, they only have water to refill. But during snack time they serve up fresh pineapple, Hawaiian chips, granola bars and soda / Hawaiian punches. The place where they meet has restrooms, but not the cleanest. Best bet is to tell the captains and swim / pee in the ocean. We got off to a late start, but all was well. We got great sights of the Na Pali coastline, saw caves, waterfalls, etc. Learned some history. It was great! The boat (AM TOUR) rides like a roller coaster, hang on for dear life! But super fun as all heck!

    Highly recommend this company when checking out the Na Pali Coast on a boat. This company has two parts.... The "experience" which is the catamaran type boat for a more leisure cruise along the coast or the "pirates" which is the same tour, just on a raft. The difference is that when you tour with the Na Pali Pirates, you get more of an adventure! The raft travels faster, it can go "inside" most of the caves, it rides those waves and best of all, the staff was awesome!!!! We had three guys guiding us..... Captain Jake, Micah and T?? Micah was very informative and gave us history and stories about the scenery we visited. Only a few of us caught on to his funny jokes. Captain Jake played awesome music and I felt safe riding on his boat. He really knows the ocean (not like the other company that sailed close to a divers boat). Although we were having the time of our lives they made safety their number 1 priority. The whole experience was amazing, they even gave us delicious pineapple during our snorkeling session. Oh...... riding back to the pier..... now that was another adventure! We jumped some waves and got splashed while singing our hearts out. If you're worried about sitting on the raft, there are two (2) chair like seats available on the raft..... you can't get much of a view because the front of the boat bends upwards, however, it's a nicer seat for anyone who needs to rest and relax from the epic wave jumps. I highly recommend booking with the Na Pali Pirates on your next visit to the the Na Pali coast line. Definitely worth it.

    The guides Erica and Chaz made the trip soooo fun! You can tell they love what they do and they are damn good at it too. I felt so safe with both of them while laughing my ass off. The views brought a literal tear to my eye and hearing all of their knowledge and stories from the island was unmatched. Thank you for making our girls trip epic. Seriously a once in a lifetime opportunity but I kept telling myself "I'll be back"

    We had a tour with Jake and Chaz today, and had an amazing time. Both were very fun and talkative and brought the good vibes!!! Jake was also very knowledgeable of all the Hawaiian culture and stories and it made the trip so much more meaningful. Would recommend this trip for the views and the crew.

    Erica maneuvering just one of the many caves. Expert!!

    Best time ever seeing Na Pali Coast! The twin sisters from Hawaii just nail this coastline from the fun ride, dolphins, seabirds and especially the intimate cave rides. They know it all and make it such a fun experience! Best tour ever!!

    We did a tour today 2/17. The weather has been iffy during the trip but we still went out, rain or shine. We had jake and Jake as our captain / tour guides. I can't recommend this company or those two enough. An amazing experience along the coast, fun boat and spectacular views. We hope to come back in the summer months and do the tour again. The website is 100% right about a rough ride on a old navy fast boat. Lots of sea spray and riding the waves. Most definitely would recommend to friends visiting and traveling. We weren't able to go into the sea caves with the rough surf, but got close enough for good photo ops and to enjoy the scenery. 100% would do it again. Also saw lots of whales, dolphins and turtles along the way. They make sure to stop and give the opportunity to check everything out.

    DO NOT MISS THIS!!!!! Jake and Nolan were awesome guides. We saw whales, turtles, dolphins, fish, and a beautiful coast line. Both guides are very knowledgeable and made us all feel incredibly safe throughout the tour. They have "feet belts" and hand ropes, so you're very secure in the boat. Hands down, the best experience of my life. Just book it!!! You will NOT regret it!!!!

    Our experience with Na Pali Pirates on the rafting tour was nothing short of amazing! Highlight of our trip. Colin and Corbin were an awesome duo. Colin navigated the rough Na Pali Coast with ease and made our experience memorable by sharing lots of information about the island and coast. We got lucky with great weather and "summer seas" in late October. As one of the only boats out and about, we had the advantage of being able to boat through the various sea caves not once, but twice. What a special treat! Especially because it sounds like in the winter months the swell is too high to enter at all (including the days just before our tour). Snorkeling was a blast too. We would have loved even more snorkel time, but enjoyed the ~1 hour exploring the underground river and watching the sea turtles and fish. The beginning of the raft ride is exciting because you pass a huge pod of dolphins. Many were sleeping according to Colin and navigating the seas in pods. We really appreciated that Colin took care not to disturb the dolphins by speeding through them, like we saw several other tours do. Do NOT miss this tour with Na Pali Pirates! You will love it! It is special to see the Na Pali Coastline this way. CAUTION: Rough seas make this a very bumpy ride that is not good for those with injuries or seasickness. We loved the adventure and the company does provide all info upfront.

    Captain Erica and Nolan took amazing care of us. We got to see everything and more and they provided us with so much fun information you were just waiting to hear what they'd tell you next. Erica knows how to drive a boat, that's for damn sure. Nolan gave us excellent lunch and dinner reservations for after the tour as well. Couldn't recommend this group/company more, definitely a must if you are interested in boat tours of the Na Pali Coast!!

    Katie W.

    This was by far my favorite part of our week stay in Kauai. I mean you're in Kauai so how can you have a bad time, right? But for real, the guides Jackson & Nolan were phenomenally kind, informative and funny. Just overall personable human beings and we were so thankful to them for going out of their way to show us a wonderful and safe time. Between exploring the sea cave, learning about the history of the Na Pali Coast, and snorkeling in the clearest- bluest water, couldn't ask for a better experience. Mahalo

    Captain Erica is a master behind this Zodiac! What an incredibly talented captain and super informative trip. We had a blast touring the coast and both members of the team made it easy, exciting, and engaging. This is my second time doing this tour and loved it just as much! Thank you Erica and Corbin!

Captain Keith holds the #1 permit to operate tours of NaPali for 41 years. What makes this a standout operation is Keith's love for and knowledge of NaPali. He is essentially Mr. Millolii, taking it up on himself and his family to be stewards of the valley, camping there nearly every weekend while raising the family and taking charge to clean and maintain the area. He and his wife raised the next generation of Kauai natives to know, love and respect this land. He has ancestors who settled in both Kalalau and Milolii valleys who traded taro and fish to each other via rope ladder over the cliffs. He knows the history and keeps maps of where Kapuna are buried in the cliffs. He knows where to find the relics from the fishing villages. This is the guy you want to go with. Truly a 5 Star experience starting with communication at booking all the way through the experience. Captain Keith has a beautiful and comfortable boat to relax while viewing breathtaking NaPali. He is a master at navigating the caves and has seen every type of current and weather condition. Captain Keith stopped for every pod of dolphins we encountered and allowed us ample time to admire them playing beside the boat. And OH the treats and snacks. When it was time to snorkel, we enjoyed a large selection of ice cold drinks, local fruit (pineapple, mango, dragon fruit and cantaloupe) and treats baked by Mrs. Milolii - the best pumpkin rolls and mango bread you've ever tasted. And they packaged up what we didn't finish and sent it home with us to enjoy for the next couple of days. Having visited Kauai a dozen times and even having kayaked the coast a couple of times, spending the day with Captain Keith and his grandson Kai'Mana was truly a special treat and a major highlight of our trip. We will see them when we return next year.
