Nā Pali Coast Zodiac Raft Sea Caves Expedition on Kauai

Overview

Embark on the ultimate summer adventure: a thrilling Zodiac raft tour to Kauai’s Na Pali Coast Sea Caves, available June 1–August 31. Enjoy a fast-paced, intimate exploration of hidden caves, dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and cascading waterfalls, all guided by a family-owned company staffed by USCG veterans. Safety comes first, while snacks, fruit, and cold beverages keep you comfortable throughout this epic ocean journey.

Itinerary

Pali Coast, ideal for adventure seekers in good physical condition. You'll navigate into as many sea caves as conditions allow, taking in stunning scenery of cliffs, valleys, waterfalls, and rare beaches from water level. Fresh fruit, Hawaiian chips, and cold drinks are provided, and all cave entries and activities are subject to weather and ocean safety. This is not a gentle cruise—expect a ride similar to whitewater rafting on the ocean. Not suitable for pregnant guests, those with neck/back issues, or those prone to motion sickness. For year-round options, ask about the snorkel tour offered by the same crew.
