"First: Since the have a small nice boat it is good space. We were a couple and it was 3 others in the boat. Many other companies have a crowded boats (50 plus people). After a short drive we got to see a bunch of dolphins. Great experience!! Drive up the coast with nice stories and scenery was perfect. Only to stop and swim with some turtles. A perfect day!"

"This was absolutely the highlight of our time in Hawaii! If you are on the fence about doing a boat tour, then stop looking now and book with Na Pali Experience. Captain Jon was fantastic, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide throughout the tour. We did the afternoon tour and lucked into amazing weather that allowed us to visit all the sea caves. Snorkeling with sea turtles, incredible views, and coming back with the sunset light hitting the mountains... nothing comes close! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!"

"My Na Pali Pirates experience was amazing! Fun, fast raft rides on exciting water? Check! Epic views of the Na Pali coast? Check! Sea caves? Check! Snorkeling with sea turtles? Check! But most importantly, Jake and Jacob were incredible incredible guides! Fun and knowledgeable with the perfect amount of dad jokes and great tunes! This is seriously a MUST DO, and I will continue to do this raft tour any time I am back in Kauai! Stop looking at other boat tours of the Na Pali coast and book this one! It's fun and exciting and you will be supporting a LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS! Thank you to "The Jakes" for an epic time!

"The 35’ Deluxe Catamaran “Cadillac of the Caves” was AMAZING! Do not miss this when you’re in Kauai. Brian and Capt. Nate were fun, kind, knowledgeable, patient…all the things. They personally made sure every single person was comfortable and having fun the whole time. They shared tons of knowledge about Kauai and the Napali coast, played music, made us laugh, and were obviously capable and at ease on the ocean. The deluxe catamaran was big enough to be comfortable, but small enough to fit in caves and be an exciting ride. My husband and 7 year old sat in bench seats in the middle of the boat, while my 10 year old and I rode up front for a more exciting ride. We stopped to snorkel and they provided good equipment. They also put out snacks and drinks while we were in the water. They made sure everyone had enough time in the water and didn’t feel rushed back. Our family all took Dramamine the night before and again about an hour before we got on the boat, and we all felt fine the whole time. Do take similar precautions if you’re at all worried about sea sickness. I cannot recommend this company and experience highly enough. It was one of my favorite days ever! It was the experience of a lifetime to take in the gorgeous scenery in such a fun and exciting way. The experience and memories are worth the price. Book it!

"A beautiful small boat tour for 6 cruising the Na Pali coast. The boat is small enough to go into the caves. JD was a great captain! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced which was very reassuring when it came to the big waves since it was a very windy day."

The raft ride was exhilarating but surprisingly comfortable. It rained a bit but they were ready with rain jackets. It only added to the fun and quickly passed. We saw tons of spinner dolphins, went into a cave and did a fun turn-about, and snorkeled on our way back. Highly recommend.

I have hiked Napali for years, but this was the first time via water and it was amazing! A MUST SEE & DO for those wanting a more adventurous and remote experience. Great crew and captain- good vibes, history, stories & views. I'll be back to book another trip! Thanks for some valuable memories and experiences.

I’m a Custom-Adventure-Tour guide on Kauai. I specialize in only the best. Even though I live on Kauai, I still take a catamaran tour of Na Pali coast at least once a year. This company offers the best catamaran tour available! If you can, make sure to book a tour that has Captain Kauai at the helm, as he is the best of the best. Aloha!

My first time snorkeling and I had a blast! The crew was personable, professional, and even offered me prescription goggles. This was a solo activity for me and I met some very nice people. Everyone had a great time. I saw dolphins, a tortoise, and fish that I used to have in my fish tank some years back. I look forward to doing it again on my next trip!

Picturesque views of the coast, great information on the history of the area, and amazing wildlife!We saw too many whales to count, turtles and spinner dolphins. The crew provided a fun and safe experience for people of all ages. There were several people on the boat that had been on the same tour multiple times before.

This was probably my favorite of all the tours I did in Kauai (..and I did a lot!).Very fun and upbeat, but also relaxing. We saw so many whales and lots of spinner dolphins. The views are second to none. We couldn’t do the Na Pali Coast due to high winds and waves. So worth your time to do this tour!Shout out to the captain and crew...you guys ROCKED!

The tour and snorkeling were great, but what made this a memorable trip was the amazing crew! Their knowledge and service was impeccable and amongst the best I've seen (we make it a point to tour/snorkel everywhere we go around the world). Perfect balance of safety and experience. Thank you crew, I highly recommend Kauai Sea Tours!

We had an excellent time! Would recommend for sure when visiting Kauai. Captain Greg and our crew were amazing. We were re-routed the day of our trip due to high winds and not safely getting us to Napali, but they still made the trip memorable and fun! Scenery and wildlife were the best, would've been happy with just that.

Na Pali Experience

Kauai's pristine Na Pali Coast stands out among Hawaii's many beautiful coastlines for its rugged and striking beauty. Lush, verdant cliffs rise dramatically out of the ocean to heights of over 4,000 feet (1,200 meters).

Much of this 17-mile stretch of coastline is unreachable by land because of its remote location and sheer cliffs. Hikers can view approximately one-third of the coastline by walking the strenuous 11.2-mile Kalalau trail. You can only see the rest of Na Pali by air or boat.

Native Hawaiians used outrigger canoes to reach the beautiful beaches and valleys of Na Pali. Today, only ambitious kayakers attempt this challenging paddle during the nicest summer weather.

Boat tours are truly the best, easiest, and most rewarding way to experience the full scope and scale of the Na Pali Coast. Year-round boat tours are available on our sailing catamarans and rigid-hull rafts.

We promise that the sheer beauty of the Na Pali will take your breath away. We also provide tours to Kauai's sunny south shore when the winter weather makes conditions rough, unpleasant, or unsafe on the Na Pali coast.

Napali Coast from Hanalei Details

Seeing the Napali Coast from Hanalei gives you the most value for your time as far as Napali cruises go. Heading to the Napali Coast is typically a 5 hour commitment since most tours leave from the south shore and Port Allen area. Leaving from Hanalei means you’ll get to the stunning views in a fraction of the time, making it really convenient for anyone staying or spending the day on the north shore who wants more flexibility with how that time is spent.

Napali Coast Sight See Adventure

2 hour duration departing at 4:30pm from April to September only. Check-in is at 3:55pm

Be ready to take photos! A picture is worth a thousand words, and that’s also how many photos you’ll probably go home with! Plus you may even get to see humpback whales if you’re going in April or May.

Soft drinks and bottled water provided

Napali Coast Snorkel Adventure

4 hour duration departing in the morning and mid-day from March through October. Check-in is 30 minutes prior to departure. Exact times vary slightly throughout the season, so be sure to pay attention to your booking time.

Be ready to take photos! We recommend an underwater camera like a GoPro for shots while your snorkeling. You may even get to see humpback whales if you’re going March through May.

A light lunch, snacks, soft drinks, and water are provided.

Convenience typically comes at a cost, in this case it’s disclaimers, what to know before you go:

  • The north side of Kauai is rainier and generally has rougher waters than the south side, so
  • This tour is seasonal, running March through October when waters tend to be milder
  • It rains frequently in Hanalei, so the tour operates rain or shine, but never in dangerous conditions.
  • There is no shade or bathroom on board.
  • The departure location, Hanalei Bay is a natural port with no loading docks, so your group will need to be able to climb up a ladder from the beach to the boat
  • They cannot guarantee conditions will be right for going through the sea caves and snorkeling as your safety is the priority.
  • Children under 4 and pregnant people are not able to come on the tour.

If someone in your group is expecting and would like to participate, check out our review on Makana Tours from the south shore!
