Fast raft tour of the Ná Pali Coastline
Early morning start. Open boat to the elements. Three seats in the back and everyone else rides on the rubber sides on the boat side-saddle style. The boat captain named Sero gave us our money’s worth. A quick dash up the coast with stops for wildlife was great. Sero was very knowledgeable with the geography and Hawaiian culture and gave us detailed information on the points of interest. Once we got to the Ná Pali coast, the sea states were calm enough to slip into some of the caves for and interesting description and views from within. We stopped for a bite and a swim/snorkel then, just like that, the time to return to the starting point was upon us. The winds had picked up quite a bit and created a lot of wind driven waves. The chop in the water brought a LOT of bounce and action on the bow. Good thing those sides were rubber. A smoother ride would have been in the chairs for sure. Not for the faint or anyone with the slightest back ailments. A bigger and slower boat would be your best bet. We stopped for Spinner Dolphins, Green Sea Turtles, Humpback whales in particular a momma and her baby. Just beautiful!! We got our money’s worth and then some. Captain Andy’s is top shelf. You won’t be disappointed!!!
