Glide along Kauai's legendary Nā Pali Coast aboard a sleek catamaran, snorkeling sea turtle habitats and watching the 4,000-ft sea cliffs blaze gold at sunset. The only way to truly feel the scale of Nā Pali is from the ocean.
What to expect
Departing from Port Allen (about 45 minutes from Nawiliwili), the catamaran hugs the Nā Pali coastline past towering fluted sea cliffs, sea caves, and spinner dolphin pods. Crew guides a snorkel stop at a reef teeming with green sea turtles and reef fish, then sails on as golden-hour light transforms the coast into a painter's dream. Drinks and local appetizers are served on the return as the sun dips below the Pacific horizon.
Good to know
Port Allen is roughly 45 min by taxi or rental from Nawiliwili Harbor. Sunset tours depart late afternoon (~4–5 pm) and return around sunset/dusk — confirm your ship's all-aboard time is evening before booking this tour. Reserve in advance; small-vessel spots sell out weeks ahead.
