NĀ PALI SUNSET CRUISE OR SAIL

Tour Highlights

Tour Description

Many of those who have laid eyes upon the Nā Pali Coast of Kauai would contend that this stunning landscape is one of the natural wonders of the world. This majestic 15-mile stretch of coastline is known for its towering 3,500-foot tall cliffs that border the sea. View the Nā Pali Coast from the comfort of a luxury catamaran as the landscape is lit with the colors of the setting sun.

Our Nā Pali Coast Sunset Cruise or Snorkel features a sightseeing adventure along this coastline to explore the hidden sea caves and waterfalls that are only visible from the sea. From December to April, humpback whales are commonly seen frolicking in these warm Hawaiian waters as they mate and continue their migration north towards Alaska. Our friendly crew will share the legends and lore of the ancient Hawaiians that once inhabited this dramatic coastline as we cruise along.

Celebrate the setting sun with a champagne toast, then help yourself to the many delicious offerings of our hot buffet dinner. Enjoy a cold beer, glass of wine, Mai Tai, soft drinks, or island juices while you take in the stunning scenery.

You are given the choice to sail aboard Leila, our 50’ sailing catamaran or cruise aboard Holo Holo, our 65’ power catamaran. Both vessels have ample space and feature the same exciting sights along the coastline and tasty buffet offerings. Sunset tours aboard Leila will set sail 30 minutes earlier (4-hour tour duration) than faster Holo Holo (3.5-hour tour duration).
