Frequently
Asked Questions (FAQ's)
Why should I choose
Z-Tourz over the other boat companies on Kauai?
Our boats have shallow
drafts and excellent flotation, thus maximizing the weight-carrying ability.
With these durable and trustworthy boats, we are able to land in normally
inaccessible areas such as secluded beaches and shallow coral reefs (excellent
for snorkeling). We are also able to discover the Napali Coast sea
caves, which larger boats cannot do.
What kind of
raft do you have?
Our vessel is a
24 foot, Zodiac brand, inflatable raft. Zodiac is the manufacturer
of extremely safe and secure vessels for patrol, rescue, and military use.
The U.S. Coast Guard utilizes the Zodiac raft for its search and
rescue missions. The Zodiac raft is the #1 choice for Na Pali
Coast tours, due to its size, limited passenger load (18 pax), and fun
ride.
Which harbor
do you depart from?
We leave from Kikiaola
Small Boat Harbor, located in Waimea. This harbor is on the West
Shore of Kauai, and is the closest and fastest route to the
Napali Coast. Compare our route to other companies to see why we
are able to spend more time along the Napali Coast, and less time getting
there! View

How much of the
Napali Coast do you cover?
We are the only
raft tour company that covers the entire Napali Coast (all 17 miles).
Our turning point is at Hanakapiai Beach.
What can I expect
to see on the tour?
Whales (in season),
Spinner dolphins, sea turtles, tropical sea birds, flying fish, colorful
reef fish, secluded beaches, sea caves, dramatic cliffs, lava tubes, volcanic
craters, movie spots, etc...
Should pregnant
women and people with back problems go on the tour?
No pregnant women
please. Those with chronic back problems should also avoid the tour.
