About the Tour:
Step aboard our open, motorized Ikaika 32′ Cave Catamaran for an exclusive Nā Pali Coast adventure like no other. Departing directly from Hanalei Bay, you’ll skip the crowded docks and enjoy a hassle-free embarkation right from the bay or river mouth. Within minutes, you’ll be cruising past Kaua’i’s iconic, towering cliffs, feeling the cool breeze and taking in some of the most breathtaking coastal views.
Our skilled captain carefully selects the best route each day, ensuring you access hidden sea caves, emerald cliffs, and cascading waterfalls that larger boats can’t reach. As you sail, the crew provides engaging commentary that’s both informative and entertaining—focusing on the highlights of this stunning journey.
When the ocean conditions allow, you’ll be treated to up-close encounters with local wildlife, including spinner dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles, and monk seals sunbathing on private beaches. During winter months, you might even spot humpback whales as they migrate through the area.
Halfway through your adventure, we anchor in a serene cove with sandy-bottom waters. Here, you can either snorkel in the crystal-clear sea with provided gear or relax aboard with delicious sandwiches, snacks, soft drinks, and bottled water—giving you the freedom to create your perfect day.
This tour consistently ranks as the highlight of our guests’ trips. But with limited spots available, it fills up fast! Don’t miss your chance to experience Nā Pali Coast at its finest. Book now and secure your spot on Kaua’i’s most unforgettable journey.
