Experience Morning Magic on the Nā Pali
Our calmest conditions of the day. First on the water & back by noon.
You’ll experience four full hours of fun while the rest of the island’s still waking up. We’ll feed you lunch, show you why this coastline’s famous, and have you back on land with your whole afternoon free to cross another item off your bucket list.
-
- Fresh deli sandwich from Wake Up Delicious
- Ice-cold water, juice & soda + snacks
- Premium snorkeling gear
- Waterproof dry bag for your belongings
- Free parking and shuttle service to the boat
-
We launch from Hanalei Bay — just 15 minutes from the Nā Pali Coast. That means more time exploring, less time in transit.
Tours from Port Allen spend 2+ hours round-trip just getting there and only see a portion of the coastline. Plus, if you’re already staying on the North Shore, you’ll skip the 90-minute drive across the island.
-
- 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 (November & 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:
- Morning check-in: 7:30–8:00 AM
- Departure: ~8:30 AM | Return: ~11:30 AM
- Duration: 3 hours
Important Note:
- This is a SIGHTSEEING ONLY tour! No snorkeling or lunch included. (Snacks and non-alcoholic beverages are abundant, though!)
-
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.
