Rated #1 Activity in Eleele on TripAdvisor

This is the crew you want to go with, they are so personal and caring. They let everyone on board get a unique experience. They are not like the other charters that take 100 people, this is a family-owned business that cares about everyone that sets foot on board.

We had such a great time. We saw the breathtaking Napali coast, snorkeled, saw sea turtles, and observed dolphins up close. We couldn’t have wished for a more magical time. I highly recommend. The ship and their crew felt more personal. You will enjoy a beautiful day at sea.

This trip was amazing. To start, the captain is extremely knowledgeable and their main concern is your safety. This is a great family experience for all ages. We got to enjoy the beautiful scenery, swam, and saw dolphins. We really enjoyed the Na Pali coast. Beautiful experience.

An amazing outing for our family of 11. Napali coast gorgeous and our guide was quite informative! The catamaran was able to get so close to the shoreline and we saw caves and waterfalls. The snorkeling was great and the equipment was provided. Our captain was outstanding and made our trip fantastic.

Our brand new 35ft Deluxe Power Catamaran was custom designed for touring Na Pali Coast and was built with our guests in mind. She’s the perfect size for Na Pali; large enough to handle the seas and keep you comfortable, and small enough to fit into the various sea caves when conditions permit. She’s also the only boat in our fleet that has a marine head (a teeny tiny restroom) if a true emergency situation arises. For those seeking an adventure ride but don’t want to sacrifice comfort; this modern cutting edge vessel, won’t let you down.

Carefully select a tour below that has bullet points that agree with your priorities. In general, expect MUCH calmer seas in the morning with greater marine life encounter odds. In the afternoon, the sea state gets a lot more “exciting” with increased winds, but the pay off is seeing Na Pali Coast light up as the sun positions itself perfectly to showcase Na Pali’s beauty. Reservations in advance are a must, so don’t wait and book your tour today!

Note: This is NOT a sailboat, this is a really fun high speed “power” catamaran, ideal for Na Pali Coast.

10 Reasons To Book A NaPali Coast Sailing Trip On Kaua’i

• Witness wild dolphins swimming and playing around the boat, providing an incredible photo opportunity. No gear is needed.
• Snorkel in the Pacific Ocean and see marine life beneath the surface. Snorkeling gear is provided; bring a bathing suit and towel.
• Enjoy a delicious lunch and snacks onboard, with an open bar for a relaxing vacation. Anti-nausea medication is recommended for those prone to seasickness.

Kaua’i is Hawai’is fourth largest island and is famous for its lush green landscapes and dramatic coastlines. Anyone visiting needs to make sure they see the NaPali Coast while they’re there, and the best way to do that is from the water.

I went on a sailing excursion with Holo Holo Charters , which provided the perfect mixture of adventure and relaxation. The five-hour excursion from Kaua’i includes two meals, snorkeling, sightseeing, and complimentary drinks. The tour company was founded in 1997 using high-speed boats that can take Kauai’s challenging ocean conditions in stride.

It’s worth booking this style of tour while visiting Kaua’i for a chance to view the coast from the water and see marine life in its natural habitat. Here are 10 reasons to book a NaPali Coast sailing tour. Beyond hiking in Waimea Canyon and visiting Shipwreck Beach , add this to your Kaua'i bucket list ! For those deciding which island in Hawai'i to visit , the NaPali Coast might be the deciding factor in favor of beautiful Kaua'i.

You’ll See Wild Dolphins

Watch them swim and play around the boat.

Travelers hoping to witness wildlife while on the island of Kaua’i may find that the most jaw-dropping experience awaits them on the water. While cruising along the coast on this tour with Holo Holo Charters, I was lucky enough to see wild spinner dolphins (hundreds of them) swimming around the boat. They were doing tricks (spinning) right in front of us and swimming around and under the boat, allowing for some incredible photo opportunities.

• Guaranteed As Part Of The Tour: No
• Gear To Bring: Camera and/or binoculars

Snorkeling In The Pacific Ocean

See more marine life beneath the surface.

Snorkeling is almost a sure thing on this type of coastal tour, as long as the weather and the visibility in the water permits. This is a great chance to get into the water and see the schools of fish swimming beneath the surface. All snorkeling gear is provided onboard the boat, so there is no need to bring anything but your own bathing suit and towel. When I took this tour, we saw hundreds of fish and even a turtle during our snorkel!

• Guaranteed As Part Of The Tour: No (weather dependent)
• Gear To Bring: Bathing suit and towel (snorkeling gear provided)

Incredible Lunch Onboard

Enjoy a delicious lunch and snacks throughout the day.

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are all provided onboard the boat, making for a day of fun in the sun where no one gets hungry.

While there are ginger candies available as well, travelers should bring their own anti-nausea medication if they typically get seasick.

From beers to wine, the crew serves up beverages onboard for a few hours of the experience.

Breathtaking Views Of The Coastline

These views of the coast are only possible from the water.

The NaPali coast can, of course, only be seen from the water or the air, so this is one of the few opportunities to see the landscape from this angle. While you can drive to a viewpoint on the island to see the view from the coast, actually witnessing the dramatic cliffs is best accomplished with a boat tour.

• Gear To Bring: Sunglasses, camera, and reef safe sunscreen

Chance To Spot Whales

If the season is right, whales might be swimming nearby.

There’s no guarantee that booking a sailing tour of the NaPali coast will mean seeing whales, but there is a good chance during the right reason. From November to March, whales return to the waters around Kaua’i, making it possible to spot them from the boat.

• Gear To Bring: Binoculars and/or camera

Take Epic Photos

Posing on the boat creates a beautiful photo opportunity.

Some destinations in the United States are simply just a photographer's dream , and Kaua'i is one of them. For photographers (amateur or professional), the photo opportunities alone are reason enough to take a tour of the NaPali Coast while visiting Kaua’i. Not only is the landscape itself stunning and highly photogenic, but there are lots of cool opportunities for taking photos of yourself and family members on the boat. Planning a romantic proposal? This might also create the perfect backdrop for capturing that special moment in a photo.

• Gear To Bring: Camera or smartphone with camera

It’s Affordable

This is a reasonably priced day trip with all the inclusions.

Hawai’i has a reputation for being expensive to travel in, and it certainly can be costly. While visiting Kaua’i, a day tour to the NaPali coast is great value for money based on the inclusions and duration of the tour. Getting two meals for the day, drinks, and a full day of fun for under approximately $250 a person is worth splurging, even for the budget traveler.

• Holo Holo Charters Tour Cost: From $240 per adult
• What’s Included: Food, drinks, snorkeling gear, and reef safe sunscreen

You’ll Make Lasting Memories

This is certain to be an unforgettable day.

A day sailing to the NaPali coast while visiting Kaua’i is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that leaves a lasting impression. The views of the island’s landscape are unmatched, but on top of that, it’s an adventure on the water. The food, the friendly crew members, and the chance to spot wildlife all add to the magic.

The raft ride was exhilarating but surprisingly comfortable. It rained a bit but they were ready with rain jackets. It only added to the fun and quickly passed. We saw tons of spinner dolphins, went into a cave and did a fun turn-about, and snorkeled on our way back. Highly recommend.

I have hiked Napali for years, but this was the first time via water and it was amazing! A MUST SEE & DO for those wanting a more adventurous and remote experience. Great crew and captain- good vibes, history, stories & views. I'll be back to book another trip! Thanks for some valuable memories and experiences.

I’m a Custom-Adventure-Tour guide on Kauai. I specialize in only the best. Even though I live on Kauai, I still take a catamaran tour of Na Pali coast at least once a year. This company offers the best catamaran tour available! If you can, make sure to book a tour that has Captain Kauai at the helm, as he is the best of the best. Aloha!

My first time snorkeling and I had a blast! The crew was personable, professional, and even offered me prescription goggles. This was a solo activity for me and I met some very nice people. Everyone had a great time. I saw dolphins, a tortoise, and fish that I used to have in my fish tank some years back. I look forward to doing it again on my next trip!

Picturesque views of the coast, great information on the history of the area, and amazing wildlife!We saw too many whales to count, turtles and spinner dolphins. The crew provided a fun and safe experience for people of all ages. There were several people on the boat that had been on the same tour multiple times before.

This was probably my favorite of all the tours I did in Kauai (..and I did a lot!).Very fun and upbeat, but also relaxing. We saw so many whales and lots of spinner dolphins. The views are second to none. We couldn’t do the Na Pali Coast due to high winds and waves. So worth your time to do this tour!Shout out to the captain and crew...you guys ROCKED!

The tour and snorkeling were great, but what made this a memorable trip was the amazing crew! Their knowledge and service was impeccable and amongst the best I've seen (we make it a point to tour/snorkel everywhere we go around the world). Perfect balance of safety and experience. Thank you crew, I highly recommend Kauai Sea Tours!

We had an excellent time! Would recommend for sure when visiting Kauai. Captain Greg and our crew were amazing. We were re-routed the day of our trip due to high winds and not safely getting us to Napali, but they still made the trip memorable and fun! Scenery and wildlife were the best, would've been happy with just that.

United States: travel guide to Kauai, Hawaii | Itineraries and must-sees

Exploring this verdant island over 7 to 10 days would be the ideal option for any traveler wishing to enjoy Kauai’s very relaxed atmosphere and the natural gems it has to offer. In my opinion, renting a car and taking day trips from Princeville (a charming town in the far north) or staying in a hotel near Poipu or Lihue (further south) allows you to set foot on some of the island’s most beautiful beaches and to easily explore some of its most magnificent spots.

Kauai, Hawaii - Getting there from Canada

Considering that Honolulu is the main point of entry to the turquoise archipelago, I personally flew with Air Canada , stopping in Vancouver (YVR) on my way from Montreal (YUL), before taking a short flight on Hawaiian Airlines to Kauai (Lihue airport).

My American Express ® * Aeroplan ® Reserve Card gives me access to airport lounges, free baggage check-in and priority boarding, all for less, and I’m a die-hard Air Canada fan! However, other airlines such as United allow you to depart from Montreal (YUL) and stop only in San Francisco (SFO), among others.

According to Air Canada’s points predictor, a Montreal/Honolulu economy class ticket starts at 17,500 Aeroplan points .

Lihue airport car rental

Holding the American Express Platinum Card ® . For the past few years, I’ve had Gold status with Hertz , which offers a 10-15% discount on the regular price with code #633306, full insurance and priority vehicle pick-up. So, at Lihue airport, everything went quickly and smoothly: 20 minutes after landing, we were already on our way!

Kauai, Hawaii - Things to see and do

Explore the winding roads to the imposing waimea canyon.

Exploring the winding road to Waimea Canyon is an unforgettable adventure! Start with a stop at Japanese Grandma’s Cafe for the best sushi on the island; a culinary experience that will delight your taste buds. Then pause at the Red Dirt Waterfall for a breathtaking view of the south coast.

The highlight of the show, of course, is the Waimea Canyon Lookout , from which you can contemplate the geological marvel known as the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific”. With its colourful cliffs and breathtaking panoramas, it’s sure to be a sight to behold! If you’re still thirsty for adventure, push on to Kalalau Lookout for a spectacular view of part of the Na Pali Coast, another awe-inspiring landscape.

With this excursion to Waimea Canyon and Kōkeʻe National Park , you’ll explore the wonders of northwest Kauai.

Watch the sunset at Hideaway Lookout

It was while chatting with my Airbnb host that I got this nice little tip: one of the best places to watch the sun go down is called Hideaway Lookout . You could park your car at the Hideaway Pizza Pub , just a few minutes’ walk away, and come and relax at the most intimate of lookouts. Once the show is over, return to the restaurant where you parked for a bite to eat. It’s all set up for a great evening!

Enjoy all that Tunnels Beach has to offer!

Tunnels Beach is a true natural splendor! Here, you can swim alongside graceful sea turtles and watch seals basking on the shore. The beach also offers breathtaking views of the start of the Na Pali Coast. Finally, snorkelling is particularly impressive at Tunnels Beach, as you can observe the famous “tunnels” formed by lava underwater, revealing a fascinating and completely unique underwater world! For me, of all the islands, this is my favorite beach.

Discover deserted yet splendid beaches!

What’s absolutely disconcerting, and delightful, about the island of Kauai is the fact that many beaches stretch for miles, and some are almost deserted! Such is the case of Secret Beach and Larsen’s Beach. These two beaches are well worth a visit if you’re tired of the crowded beaches in the south of the island.

Following in Captain Jack Sparrow's footsteps at Makauwahi Cave

Kauai, with its breathtaking scenery, has been used as a film location for many Hollywood movies, including “Pirates of the Caribbean 4”. Film buffs can follow in the footsteps of the famous Captain Jack Sparrow by visiting Makauwahi Cave . A short hike takes you along the beach to a breathtaking grotto! To explore this nature reserve is to plunge into the world of a classic film while strolling through a cinematic setting in its own right.

This tour will take you to several of Kauai’s filming locations .

Discover Poipu Beach Park

On Kauai’s South Coast, Poipu Beach Park is the ideal place to stroll and swim. This magnificent sandy beach is a veritable paradise, often frequented by sea turtles, which you can observe from up close. After a day of relaxation, treat yourself to a meal at Brennecke’s Beach Boiler , where you can enjoy breathtaking sea views.

Secluding yourself in the Queen's Bath (at your own risk)

Queen’s Bath consists of a number of fascinating natural formations, made up of crevices and holes in the rocks that fill with water at low tide. Every time a wave crashes onto the shore, water is projected into these cavities, creating unique natural “baths”. The 15-minute hike up is steep and can be slippery, and a sign warns visitors that they venture up at their own risk. Despite the steep path, Queen’s Bath offers an extraordinary experience and, quite literally, a direct connection to the power of nature.

Cruise the Na Pali Coast

The Na Pali Coast is Kauai’s must-see, famous for its towering cliffs and lush valleys. There are several options for enjoying the immensity of this magnificent coastline, including hiking and excursions by helicopter or small plane.

Don’t hesitate to fly over the Na Pali Coast and the whole of Kauai to admire the island’s breathtaking panoramas.

Personally, I opted for a catamaran excursion, a costly experience – between $400 and $500 per person – but a truly memorable one. Sailing along the Na Pali Coast on a catamaran offers a unique perspective on this natural wonder, with breathtaking views of rock formations, waterfalls and marine life – dolphins in this case!

You could choose this Na Pali Coast snorkeling trip from Port Allen aboard a catamaran, or get away from it all with this Na Pali Coast sunset sailing trip with dinner.

Enjoy the ambience of Princeville and Hanalei

To get the most out of Kauai, be sure to visit Hanalei and Princeville. These charming towns are packed with markets selling local produce, perfect for discovering the island’s flavours and crafts. Hanalei beach is particularly fantastic at sunset, offering breathtaking views and a serene atmosphere. For coffee lovers, a stop at Trilogy Coffee is a must: it’s one of the best on the island!

Visit Kauai's unusual Hindu Monastery

The Hindu Monastery on Kauai is probably the most unusual visit I’ve ever made. Nestled in a peaceful green setting, this sacred site offers a unique and soothing spiritual experience. Strolling through its lush gardens and admiring the architecture, a visit to Kauai’s Hindu Monastery is a memorable getaway, and well off the beaten track!

You could also try a zip-line adventure in Kauai , and enjoy a buffet dinner with open bar and Luau Kalamaku show .

Kauai, Hawaii - Where to stay with points?

Staying in a hotel in the archipelago, no matter which island you visit or what time of year it is, can be quite expensive!

For my part, having already used my points and my free night certificate obtained with my Marriott Bonvoy ® American Express ® * Card , I opted to stay in two small apartments unearthed on the AirBnb platform.

Both were located in Princeville, which was my headquarters for the duration of my trip! That said, the resorts are closer to Poipu and Lihue and, whether in terms of points or money, you need to be on the lookout for promotions to get the best prices, as your stay could be very expensive.

Bottom Line

If I had to choose one island in the Hawaiian archipelago, it would definitely be Kauai for its lushness and unrivalled beauty. Tunnels Beach was a real favorite, with its fascinating underwater scenery and idyllic setting. Also, hiking through Kauai’s breathtaking landscapes is simply dazzling, offering breathtaking views and total immersion. Finally, the island’s warm and welcoming atmosphere adds an extra dimension to this unique experience, making Kauai a must-see destination.

5 reviews for Napali Dinner Sunset Sail on Luxury Catamaran

Biogeek TN – June 4, 2023

Highlight of our week! The sunset dinner cruise along the Na Pali coast was the highlight of our entire Hawaii trip. It was my teen’s first time on a boat and I got the biggest smile I had seen all week! The food was great. The crew were all so friendly and helpful. Of course, the sights are amazing! The weather was good so we were able to get almost to the other end of the Na Pali coast before turning around. Even though it was afternoon we saw a few dolphins which are apparently more commonly seen in the morning. We also spotted a sea turtle, flying fish and a few large birds. For those interested, the only place with shade is the covered area in the middle of the boat where the bar is located. It is open to the rest of the boat at the back. There are windows, but they are tinted so the sights aren’t as stunning as if you are on deck. You’re also more likely to feel motion sick if you sit in this area. I recommend taking a sunhat with a cord that firmly attaches it to your head. We saw 2 people lose hats. Highly recommend this trip!

Christopher P. – May 24, 2023

AMAZING! Great staff, food, drinks, experience! All around AMAZING and would get 6 stars if I could. We did both the morning and sunset cruises and couldn’t of been more excited. The morning was fantastic with breakfast and lunch and even snorkeling! We saw many many dolphins and whales, as we went in whale season, and even Honu!

The afternoon cruise was even better! Steak and shrimp, and a drink I believe was called Sneaky Tiki? The food was unbelievable and the sunset… on the catamaran… with dolphins surrounding you, what could be more breath taking???!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend.

The crew in both the office and on both cruises were fantastic! This was my first trip to Hawaii and couldn’t have imagined a better island to pick! This will be a MUST pick on my next trip for sure, definitely worth the repeat. Shout out to Nicole too who was the chef in the morning on that cruise…. the food and service was fantastic!

Lauren B. – March 14, 2023

We had a fabulous time on the star dinner sunset sail! Our staff members were Captain Claire, Jesse, Clay, Donovan, and Chef Deon. All of the crew were attentive, anticipatory, engaging, and went out of their way to introduce themselves and connect to us on a personal level. They made us feel really special. The views were great, the food was delicious, and the drinks were tasty! We loved the shrimp and appetizer especially. We saw SO many whales. Humpback whales were putting on a show pretty much the whole time. I felt really lucky!

Joe and Cheryl O – March 14, 2015

We sailed on this tour Mar 2, 2015 and had a wonderful time. Crew is excellent. Food was good and plentiful. Saw lots of spinner dolphins up close and several whales in distance. They did their best to get us closer but whales just weren’t in the mood. Cruise was certainly worth it and would do it again. Great boat, safety conscious crew and lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!

Shelly H. – August 21, 2014

Captain Tony and his crew Jon and Kama are SO. MUCH. FUN!!! We were on the sunset dinner cruise on the Na Pali coast and it was an epic adventure! These young men are all very knowledgeable, personable, entertaining and sincere. These guys have fun all the while ensuring that every guest is enjoying themselves. The food was good and the Sneaky Tiki rum cocktails were deliciously refreshing. The crew was also very safety conscious and were very caring and helpful to all passengers. I had heard this tour was the best and it is!
