Captain Brandon and Michaela are so fun, genuine and friendly! They assured we had a fast-paced, fun-filled and informative adventure…thank you! And Cpt. Brandon’s play list was perfect for the ride! Great music to match a great ride. Sadly, we could not enter and explore the cave (due to high surf), but we still enjoyed a great day with them. I’d recommend this tour and Na Pali Riders 100%!
– Shellsviper, TripAdvisorAmazing day!!! High seas closed part of Nā Pali coast at the last minute but these guys got up early and scouted out an alternate and probably even more amazing trip for us. I cannot say it strongly enough that they saved our day and we’ll never forget the adventure. Their good nature with us and all of our kids made us all instantly comfortable. We felt like old friends getting together the see a once in a lifetime event. Giant glassy waves, dolphins, a seal and a turtle, I’d give them 20 stars out of five if I could.
– Katy M, TripAdvisorOur best excursion yet! Capt. Brandon and Sawyer did a wonderful job keeping us safe and entertained. It was reassuring to know Brandon was In the coast guard and Sawyer constantly checking in on every person on the boat! Very informative history of the Napali coast as well. Can’t say enough about this company, worth every penny!
