Nā Pali Coast Features

Stretching fifteen miles along the northwestern shore of Kauai, the Nā Pali Coast is one of the most dramatic, and hard to access, coastlines in the world. 3,500-foot tall sea cliffs meet the splashing ocean tides, and aboard this catamaran you’ll experience it all at arms-reach! There are hidden sea caves, emerald valleys, and waterfalls that come into view only as the coast unfolds before you. Humpback whales also commonly make an appearance during the winter months as they mate and migrate off this coastline.

Tour Description

Set to the seas aboard Leila, our cutting-edge 50-foot sailing catamaran to explore the world-renowned Nā Pali Coast of Kauai. The trade winds that blow off the coast of Kauai create the perfect smooth-sailing environment for this boat to reach speeds up to 18 knots (about 20 mph) while you comfortably relax and take in the stunning scenery.
The Nā Pali Coast on the northwest shore of Kauai just may be one of the most incredible sights you’ll ever lay eyes upon. Nā Pali translates to “the cliffs” in Hawaiian language, justly named for its towering 3,500-foot cliffs that hug the coastline. There are all kinds of hidden secrets tucked within the cliffs, including lush emerald valleys, cascading waterfalls, secluded beaches, and sea caves only visible from the sea aboard our luxury sailing catamaran.
As you travel up the coast, our crew will set the scene by sharing stories from the days of ancient Hawai’i that are sure to spark your imagination. The captain will choose from one of many incredible sites to anchor the boat and let you snorkel to your heart’s content. Enter the water via our swim-step, underwater ladder, or via our on-board waterslide! All of the supplies you need to snorkel and have an incredible day in the sunshine are provided. We are delighted to cater to beginner snorkelers with expert instruction, state-of-the-art snorkel gear, and floatation devices!
Our goal is to provide you with an incredible once-in-a-lifetime experience in one of the planet’s most beautiful natural environments. Enjoy a fresh, island breakfast once you climb onboard, and gourmet deli-style buffet lunch when we anchor to snorkel. After snorkeling, enjoy a cold beer, cocktail, wine, or tropical juice and help yourselves to a freshwater shower. Our spacious boat is equipped with plenty of shade and sunny-spots to enjoy the day, as well as ample dry storage within the cabin and two restrooms.
Your safety is our top priority, so we make sure to respect Kauai’s everchanging ocean and weather conditions. For this reason, all tour routes, snorkeling activities, and destinations are chosen by the captain to ensure that you are always kept safe and have an extraordinary experience.
