Ride a 37-foot super raft along Kauai’s Na Pali Coast, visit sea caves, then snorkel for turtles and tropical fish in about 4.5 hours.

“We really enjoyed this Na Pali coast super raft and snorkel adventure! The captain and crew navigated the somewhat large swells expertly. The views of the Na Pali coast were amazing, and we were able to get up close to some of the sea caves. The snorkeling spot was also great. No other boats or snorkelers were there. The fish were active, and there was decent coral, which is something we hadn't seen yet from shore based snorkeling. Lots of fun!”

“All I heard when coming to Kaua'i was I had to see the Napali Coast. No amount of pictures and videos can do this magical place justice. You have to see it with your own eyes. Our crew were awesome. Easy check in , a quick 5 minute van ride over to the marina to board the Ameilia. The seats were situated to face the bow of the boat in a bench bar height seat that was pretty well cushioned and comfortable. Had a little storage under the seat for our bag. A little shelf to put my phone and sunglasses in. We were off quickly and saw some activity…”
