Afternoon Nā Pali Sightsee Tour

Explore one of the most breathtaking coastlines on Earth aboard an adventure raft custom-built for the Nā Pali Coast. Our Afternoon Nā Pali Adventure Tour is perfect for photography lovers—the golden afternoon light illuminates the cliffs, making for the most stunning views and unforgettable shots of the coastline.

You’ll experience the very best of the Nā Pali Coast—from iconic photo spots to unforgettable encounters with marine life. It's not uncommon to spot dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles, or even rays along the way.

While we can’t guarantee wildlife sightings or cave entry due to weather and ocean conditions, every tour offers its own unique and awe-inspiring moments.

WHY CHOOSE US

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 access more of the coast for an unforgettable, up-close experience.

Unlike other rafts that seat you along the inflatable tubes—with your back to the view half the time—our vessels feature forward-facing seats, so you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Nā Pali’s cliffs and waterfalls throughout the entire journey.

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.
