Summer Morning Tours
Experience Morning Magic on the Nā Pali
Join us for an unforgettable morning tour along Kaua‘i’s famous coastline. The calm morning waters make this our smoothest ride of the day — perfect for those prone to seasickness. Our 4-hour journey includes lunch and snorkeling, and showcases towering emerald peaks, playful dolphins (when they’re feeling social), and hidden sea caves.
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. Check the map — Port Allen routes (red) vs. our direct Hanalei route (green).

- 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!

Winter Sightseeing Tours (March & October-December)
Witness the wild beauty of Kaua‘i’s legendary coastline during its most dramatic season. With decades of experience navigating these waters, we operate only when conditions are optimal for a safe and enjoyable experience — that’s our promise to you.
Winter brings spectacular highlights you won’t see any other time of year:
- Spot majestic Humpback whales breaching in their natural habitat (November-April)
- Experience waterfalls at their peak flow, cascading dramatically down cliff faces
- Enjoy smaller group sizes for a more personalized adventure
- Perfect for photography enthusiasts capturing the coast’s winter drama
- Spot spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and other marine life at play
Your morning adventure begins with check-in between 7:30-8:00 a.m. at our office. Our 35-foot power catamaran departs at 8:30 a.m., returning at approximately 11:30 a.m. The morning departure offers optimal lighting for photos and typically calmer conditions.
This focused 3-hour tour allows you to experience the true essence of Nā Pali’s winter transformation. We recommend bringing a windbreaker to stay comfortable while witnessing nature’s spectacular show.
Please note that snorkeling and lunch are not included on this tour.
