This is the crew you want to go with, they are so personal and caring. They let everyone on board get a unique experience. They are not like the other charters that take 100 people, this is a family-owned business that cares about everyone that sets foot on board.

We had such a great time. We saw the breathtaking Napali coast, snorkeled, saw sea turtles, and observed dolphins up close. We couldn’t have wished for a more magical time. I highly recommend. The ship and their crew felt more personal. You will enjoy a beautiful day at sea.

This trip was amazing. To start, the captain is extremely knowledgeable and their main concern is your safety. This is a great family experience for all ages. We got to enjoy the beautiful scenery, swam, and saw dolphins. We really enjoyed the Na Pali coast. Beautiful experience.

An amazing outing for our family of 11. Napali coast gorgeous and our guide was quite informative! The catamaran was able to get so close to the shoreline and we saw caves and waterfalls. The snorkeling was great and the equipment was provided. Our captain was outstanding and made our trip fantastic.

"This tour was the ideal experience for exploring the North Shore of Kauai. Captain Steve and his son were so knowledgeable about everything, from the names of the waterfalls to the legends the cliffs and valleys hold. I’ve only done a tour like this once before, and it was on a zodiac boat, which was bumpy and not as enjoyable. This boat was the ideal size to handle the waves, as well as fit into sea caves along the Napoli Coast. Captain Steve was an excellent driver, and we never felt unsafe, even inside caves with big waves. I would highly recommend this family-owned and operated company for your next boat tour."

"My husband and I did the afternoon 4 hour Na Pali coast and snorkel tour. It was the highlight of our time in Kauai! Captain Steve and his co-captain (blanking on her name but she was awesome) were fantastic tour guides. I loved Captain Steve's personal touches to every story he told about the coast as well as his knowledge and understanding of the ocean. He took us through sea caves and gave us a taste of the Na Pali "Rollercoaster Ride." The snorkeling was awesome too! Both of them gave clear instructions about safety and frequently checked on passengers to make sure everyone was feeling OK. In addition to the actual tour, their website explains exactly what you get and gives accurate information about what to expect. We went during a time when Kuhio highway to Hanalei was under construction due to a landslide a few months prior and there was a limited amount of time to get into the area. It was clearly stated on the website along with the time you needed to make the trip. The booking staff did a great job communicating with us about what to expect and was very helpful. I cannot say enough great things about this tour and company! Definitely recommend!!"

"To be honest, we accidentally booked this tour instead of one the the competitors that we had done before—and we are so glad we did! Captain Steve and his mate Dave were fantastic, super informative and fun, and they took us into coves and caves that we’d missed before. The lunch was surprisingly good! This is one tour you don’t want to miss, the Napali coast is beyond stunning from this viewpoint, and the snorkeling was great as well. It was definitely a highlight of our trip."

"Wonderful staff, left on time, organized, beautiful views of the coast and sea caves along the way, great snorkeling location where you get to see all kinds of sea life and well worth the price to be able to leave right from Hanalei Bay."

"If you want to ride out on some massive waves and get a great view of the Napali coast, book this adventure with captain Steve & crew. Cap'n Steve navigated the Northern waters with ease and grace. My wife and I had a blast going in & out of remote sea caves and under water falls on this epic tour. An absolute must do on a Kauai visit."

Explore secluded beaches, ancient Hawaiian sites, tropical reefs, lush valleys, sea caves that were once lava tubes, and thousand-foot waterfalls crashing along the coastline.

Play alongside Hawaiian spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and tropical fish as you snorkel the most beautiful coves on the coast!

Our catamarans are the limousines of the ocean fleet! Our US Coast Guard certified motor powered catamarans were designed for maneuverability and speed.

We get you there and back in comfort like no other tour boat company on the island of Kauai! Experience it for yourself and book a tour with us!

We keep our tours small and personalized with a local touch! Our family is locally born and raised from Kauai’s North Shore. Our vessels were built on Kauai for running the exciting Na Pali coast.

The size and design of our boats allow us to navigate sea caves and coastlines closely for a truly unique Na Pali Coast tour!

Amazing trip. The captain and mate took the time to share the history and legends of the coast and went out of their way to allow us to see whales and dolphins. Overall a beautiful outing and a lifetime experience.

M Henne – February 4, 2023

Better than a Whale Tour! Captain Mike and the crew were excellent! They went above and beyond in service, knowledge of Kauai, and humor. They kept us incredibly safe and were super attentive and caring for those sick on the boat. Plus, when we were on our way back, we found such a rarity in a Heat Run of several whales. My pictures and videos are amazing So thankful we booked with them!

"We went on the Kauai Napali Coast tour . Not. To. Be. Missed. Snorkeled, hiked, saw whales, turtles and dolphins… and was just awed. Full day. Awesome every minute. " – Malachy W., Jan 2023

Why Should I Book a Na Pali Coast Boat Tour?

First and foremost, traveling by boat allows you to witness the grandeur of Na Pali's towering cliffs from an optimal vantage point. As you approach the coastline, you'll be greeted by the dramatic emerald spires that rise majestically from the sparkling ocean. The scale and sheer beauty of these cliffs are best appreciated from the water, as their immensity creates an awe-inspiring panorama that will leave you breathless.

The Na Pali Coastline is renowned for its secluded beaches, hidden coves, and enchanting sea caves . Exploring these hidden gems is a privilege that only boat access can grant. Cruise along the coastline, and your experienced captain and crew will navigate the vessel into these secret enclaves, allowing you to witness their unspoiled magnificence up close. On our Na Pali Day Expedition you'll have the opportunity to step foot on pristine sandy shores, dip your toes in crystal-clear waters, and even venture into mystical caves ( raft tours only) that have been shaped by the relentless power of the ocean.

Another advantage of boat access is the possibility of encountering the abundant marine life that calls Na Pali home. Keep a lookout for playful dolphins dancing off the boat's bow, graceful sea turtles gliding through the water, and majestic humpback whales breaching in the distance (during whale-watching season ). These incredible encounters with wildlife create unforgettable memories that will stay with you long after your journey.

Boat tours also provide a unique perspective on the rich cultural and historical heritage of Na Pali . Knowledgeable guides will regale you with captivating stories about the ancient Hawaiian settlements that once thrived in these rugged landscapes. Learn about the significance of the area, the traditions of its people, and the legends that have shaped its allure. This immersive experience deepens your appreciation for the land and its cultural roots.

Additionally, boat tours offer a level of comfort and convenience that allows you to fully enjoy your Na Pali adventure. Relax in spacious seating areas, savor delicious onboard meals, and take advantage of amenities such as restrooms and sun decks. With a professional crew at your service, you can simply sit back, relax, and focus on immersing yourself in the natural splendor surrounding you.

While there are alternative ways to access Na Pali, such as hiking or kayaking, they require physical stamina, planning, and expertise. Boat access offers a more accessible and inclusive option, allowing people of various ages and abilities to partake in this extraordinary experience.

So, whether you're seeking jaw-dropping vistas, hidden treasures, encounters with marine life, or a deeper understanding of the area's cultural heritage, boat access is undoubtedly the best way to experience the Na Pali Coast. It offers a seamless blend of adventure, relaxation, and immersion, ensuring that your journey will be filled with lifelong memories. Embark on a boat tour and let Na Pali Coast's unmatched beauty unfold before your eyes, leaving an indelible mark on your heart and soul.
