About Na Pali Riders
Na Pali Riders specialises in high-adventure raft tours along Kauai's legendary Na Pali Coast, departing from Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor on the island's west side near Waimea. Their rigid-hull inflatable rafts hold small groups and are nimble enough to explore sea caves, waterfalls, and hidden coves that larger catamarans simply cannot reach.
Their signature Snorkel and Sea Cave Adventure is a five-hour expedition that hugs the coastline, entering sea caves, passing beneath thousand-foot cliffs, and stopping at a pristine reef for snorkelling among tropical fish and sea turtles. The smaller vessel size means passengers sit at water level for an immersive, spray-in-your-face experience that feels worlds apart from a standard cruise. Seasonal whale sightings are a bonus during winter months.
Na Pali Riders has earned a devoted following for delivering the most up-close Na Pali experience available on Kauai. Their captains are seasoned watermen with deep knowledge of the coastline, and the raft format means they can adapt routes on the fly based on conditions. For visitors who want adventure over luxury, this is the way to see the Na Pali Coast.
