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.

Frequently asked questions
What Is The Difference Between The Cruise Or Sail Options?
The option to Sail aboard Leila, our 50-foot sailing catamaran starts 30 minutes earlier and has a duration of 4 hours. Cruising aboard Holo Holo, our larger 65-foot power catamaran is a faster ride with a duration of 3.5 hours. Both tour options feature the same tasty buffet dinner and sights seen along the way.
How Likely Is It To See A Humpback Whale?
Humpback whales mate and migrate off this coastline between December and April. Sightings can’t be guaranteed as mother nature can be unpredictable, but we promise to try our best to help you lay eyes on this gentle giant!
What Can I Do To Prevent Seasickness?
We would suggest taking a preventative medication such as Dramamine to help prevent seasickness and nausea. Drinking plenty of water, eating ginger candies, and wearing acupressure wrist bands can help as well. If you do begin to feel sick, remember to keep your eyes on the horizon and get some fresh air!
