View More Photos

Hop aboard a 55 foot sailing yacht for an unforgettable tour of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast. The tradewinds will carry you past the sheer cliffs with gushing waterfalls, emerald fields and lava formations that have made Kauai famous. Along the way, the captain will regale you with stories about the history and culture of the people who called Na Pali home.

The yacht was designed with passenger comfort in mind. The teak trimmed fully enclosed cabin area is a great escape from the sun, and also boasts real restrooms and a fully functioning shower, which will feel nice after snorkeling in the saltwater. Because the boat is a catamaran, there will be less side to side rocking than on a single hull vessel so you will have a much smoother ride. There are also swim platforms in the rear that make entering and exiting the water when snorkeling easy for everyone.

After a few hours of sailing, the captain will take you to a secluded reef for some snorkeling. While underwater, you may witness spinner dolphins playing in the surf, or vibrant tropical fish zipping through technicolor coral and sponges. These waters are also a favorite spot for the Hawaiian green sea turtles. During the winter months, you will also see the great humpback whales that migrate to Hawaii’s warm waters from Alaska.

This half day tour will sail you along all 17 miles of Na Pali. Expert snorkel instruction will be provided b your captain so everyone can safely enjoy the water. A catered continental breakfast will be served as will a deli style buffet lunch. Beverages and snacks will be available throughout the trip as well.
