Snorkeling & Sightseeing Tours (March-September)
An Adventure in the Afternoon
Not a morning person? No worries — our afternoon tours are the perfect adventure for late risers, thrill-seekers, and photographers looking to capture Kaua‘i’s coastline in all its dramatic glory. The shifting light as the day progresses brings the Nā Pali cliffs to life, with hues that make for unforgettable photos.
Note: Ocean and weather conditions guide each unique adventure. While we can’t guarantee snorkeling or cave visits, we promise to make your experience unforgettable while keeping safety our top priority.

Launching from Hanalei Bay puts you just 15 minutes from Nā Pali’s stunning cliffs. En route, you’ll pass Kaua‘i’s prime surf spots and water sport havens.
Tours from Port Allen spend hours traveling to and from the Nā Pali, seeing only a portion of the coast. Our Hanalei departure means more time exploring and less time getting there.

- Reef-safe sunscreen (we also have some onboard)
- Swimsuit
- Water-friendly footwear
- Towel
- Light jacket or coverup
- Camera
- Sunglasses
- Prescription snorkel mask (if needed)
Note: You’ll wade through ankle- to waist-deep water — yes, really! — to board the boat, so wear clothes and shoes that can get wet. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Sightseeing Tours (October-December)
NEW: Experience Nā Pali in the Winter!
See Kaua‘i’s legendary coastline at its most dramatic.
In past years, we’ve closed our doors and dry-docked our vessels from November–February due to big waves, but this year we’ll monitor conditions and offer tours when the ocean is calm between swells. Because winter tours are more prone to cancellations, we recommend booking early in your stay so we can rebook if needed.
With decades of experience, we operate only when conditions are safe and optimal — that’s our promise.
Winter highlights:
- Watch Humpback whales breaching in their natural habitat (Nov–Apr)
- Spot spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life
- See waterfalls at peak flow cascading down the cliffs
- Enjoy smaller groups for a more personal adventure
- Perfect for photographers capturing the coast’s winter drama
Tour Details:
- Afternoon check-in: 12-12:30 PM
- Departure: ~12:45 PM | Return: ~3:45 PM
- Duration: 3 hours
Important Note:
- This is a SIGHTSEEING ONLY tour! No snorkeling or lunch included. (Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are abundant, though!)
