Morning Sightsee tour

This Morning Na Pali Adventure & Snorkel Tour is an unforgettable journey along Kauai's legendary Na Pali Coast aboard a 40-foot, custom-built rigid-hulled inflatable raft designed for comfort, speed, and agility. Departing directly from Hanalei Bay on the North Shore, you'll reach the Na Pali cliffs in just 15 minutes - giving you more time to explore dramatic sea caves, waterfalls, and emerald valleys up close. Led by expert captains and crew, this adventure blends storytelling, sightseeing, and snorkeling over pristine reefs teeming with marine life such as dolphins, turtles, and monk seals. Enjoy a deli lunch, snacks, and beverages on board, with snorkel gear and dry bags provided.

Overview

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.
