Our 40-foot rigid-hulled inflatable boats were handcrafted on Kaua‘i specifically for this stretch of coastline. Designed for both comfort and agility, they’re large enough to offer a smooth ride across the open ocean, yet nimble enough to slip into sea caves and hug the coast for an unforgettable, up-close experience.
All of our tours depart from Hanalei Bay on Kaua‘i’s North Shore, giving you direct access to Nā Pali in just 15 minutes. Most other tour boats leave from Port Allen on the west side, which means a longer ride before reaching the coastline. By departing from Hanalei, not only do you get more time on Nā Pali itself, but you’ll also enjoy views of the stunning North Shore, including Hanalei Bay and Hā‘ena—scenery you won’t see on westside tours.
Led by some of the most experienced captains and crew in the industry, you’ll hear captivating stories and legends that bring the coast’s history to life.

5.00Great service from the pre-tour communications to the easy check-in process to the short shuttle ride with Dale to the boat crew, Caleb and Jackson. The sandwiches were fresh and the other snacks and beverages were good too. Would highly recommend this tour!

5.00Loved the crew very professional! They had a lot of information about the Napali coast and some interesting historical facts. We went in October and found out that the winter surf comes in so snorkeling was out of the picture the waves were to crazy to get in the water. It was still a really nice boat tour and they took us to a calm spot that was safe to get in the water. The lunch was nice made with high quality lunch meat. Again the crew and staff were very professional throughout the entire experience. I would suggest to book in the summer as they said you would be more likely to be able to snorkel.
Good location, great crew, smooth trip.

5.00Up front communication could have been better with more information on the meeting point on addition to the address as well as how much in advance to arrive. Once we found the check-in the rest of the day was great. Nice shuttle to the fock. Good ride to the boat. Kaleb and Lance were good boat operators and tour guides. The coast was beautiful and snorkeling was great. It helped that it was a beautiful day. I will recommend them to friends.
