Overview
The ultimate Na Pali Coast Zodiac tour will transport you to another time and place. Nu`alolo Kai, an ancient Hawaiian fishing village nestled along the dramatic cliffs of the Na Pali Coast, was not only chosen for its breathtaking natural beauty but also served as a vital hub for commerce and trade in ancient Kauai. Accessible only by permitted boats, the village, its beach, and its vibrant tropical reef—known for some of the best snorkeling on Kauai—offer an extraordinary glimpse into the island's rich history and culture. Capt Andy's holds these special permits, offering a rare opportunity to explore this remarkable site through guided tours of its restored archaeological treasures and snorkeling in the pristine waters that once sustained its community. Your journey also includes awe-inspiring sea caves, cascading waterfalls, and encounters with marine life, all aboard custom 24-foot rigid-hull rafts. A gourmet picnic lunch and beverages add the perfect touch to this unforgettable adventure.
IMPORTANT: This is a physically demanding, high-adrenaline adventure—not a casual cruise! Riders must be in excellent physical condition to join. We welcome adventurous guests as young as 6. Pregnant guests and those with back, neck, or mobility issues cannot participate. Ocean conditions may limit access to certain caves or snorkel spots, but every trip is unforgettable! Ready for the ride of a lifetime? Let’s go!








Join us on an incredible 5.5 to 6 hour expedition down Kauai's world famous Na Pali Coast – darting in and out of sea caves, plunging under cascading waterfalls, and taking in the dramatic peaks and majestic valleys of the Na Pali Coast. When conditions allow, we'll land on a remote beach, Nualolo Kai, for a short cultural walk, snorkeling, and a delicious picnic lunch. An early departure virtually ensures an encounter with a massive pod of Hawaiian Spinner dolphins that can be found along the Kauai coastline most mornings. More
Explore Kauai's rugged Na Pali Coast with the friendly sea-going professionals at Capt Andy's. Our rafts offer an amazing view of wildlife, waterfalls, and the 4,000-foot cliffs and pinnacles of Na Pali coast. At Nualolo Kai, take a guided historical hike through the ruins of an 800 year old Hawaiian fishing village. Go snorkeling and explore the same thriving reef ecosystem that once supported the ancient Hawaiians who lived here.

Visiting the Na Pali Coast, a beach landing, and snorkeling are conditions permitting, and the tour destination may be modified to ensure passenger comfort and safety.

"Not to miss! We did the morning snorkel and BBQ trip along the Na Pali coast. Seeing the Na Pali coast by boat is incredible. Our captain and crew were awesome too- they were fun, clearly loved what they do and definitely added to the whole experience with stories and history of the area, pointing out sights, etc. This was the highlight of my trip to Kauai!"
