LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Tour

This tour was beautiful and fun! The captain and crew on the boat were hospitable, friendly, and went out of their way to ensure passengers had a great time and learned about the area. The views of the Na Pali Coast were stunning and the boat was very comfortable with clean bathrooms. Food and drinks provided were delicious.

Just the way to experience the breathtaking Na Pali coast.

RAFT ADVENTURE - Na Pali 1/2 Day Snorkel

We took the raft tour with our 10 year old son. The small intimate setting was just what we wanted to experiment the breathtaking Na Pali coast. We snorkeled, jumped into the pacific and rode through caves - what an adventure. The crew was friendly with lots of great stories along the way and we felt very safe with them. The ride back was really long, but was expected since we sailed almost half way around the island to see the coast. Highly recommended.

So many whales

Na Pali Coast Kauai Snorkel and Sail

The best day! Our entire family loved this experience. We saw so many whales and dolphins and of course the incredible NaPali Coast. Our crew was outstanding! We encountered a bit of rain on the way so definitely bring a rain jacket or a way to stay warm (it got chilly) but we were prepared! Highly recommend this experience. This was our kids first time snorkeling or doing anything like this and they all had a great time!

Boyfriend n me love this adventure tour so much.

LUCKY LADY - Deluxe Na Pali Sunset Tour

The whole experience was the best time we've had on the island after being here for weeks. Captain Kauai and his staff definitely work together as a team to make sure everything runs perfectly from A to Z. They don't miss a beat with safety.

How to Get There

The Na Pali Coast stretches for 16 miles (26 kilometers) along Kauai’s northwest shore. No roads lead into the Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park, and much of the coast is inaccessible due its extremely rugged terrain and sheer cliffs. To reach the trailhead for the Kalalau Trail, follow highway 560 to the end of the road, just past Ha’ena State Park.
