This is an absolutely beautiful way to see the Na Pali Coast, and for most people, probably a lot easier than the rather treacherous hike (which is also awesome, but wonāt provide the same vantage point). Captain J (Landon) was a great captain and Shane was an exceptionally hard working right hand man. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the horrendous seasickness I and a few others experienced. Itās absolutely not the companyās fault and has nothing to do with the way the raft is being handled - I felt safe at all times. But the conditions are unpredictable and after 1-1/2 hours of total fun, the tide turned for me - the issue is that there are several stops and when the boat is just bobbing on the water, itās so much worse. We did get a nice break off the boat to snorkel and what an experience in that ocean! But you will be out for 4-1/2 hours, so if you are concerned about how you may feel, itās worth considering if this is the trip for you. I knew I was taking a risk and took Dramamine and wore motion sickness patches behind my ears - no avail. That said, no one else in my group of 6 experienced illness and had a grand time, so it was worth it :)
