Spend an unforgettable evening basking in the splendor of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast, which stretches 16 miles (26 km) along Kauai’s northwestern shore. Meet your captain and crew at Port Allen in the afternoon, and climb aboard a 60-foot (18-meter) luxury catamaran. Spread out on the spacious boat and move freely among an open-air sundeck, shaded cabin or upstairs observation deck.
Learn about the geologic history and ancient legends of Na Pali as you cruise past jagged peaks that rise up as high as 3,000 feet (915 meters). See pristine, white sand beaches and the valleys where young Hawaiian warriors once proved their bravery. Keep an eye out for local marine life swimming by, such as dolphins, sea turtles, and whales.
As the sun falls toward the horizon, savor a 3-course dinner of fresh, island-inspired cuisine. (See Itinerary for sample menu.) Top it off with unlimited beer, wine, tropical mai tais and soft drinks throughout the cruise. Watch the scenery change with the light as the ocean and cliffs become tinted with the warm glow of sunset.
At the end of your cruise, disembark back at Port Allen and continue enjoying the rest of a magical Kauai night on your own.

We had such a wonderful experience on our Napoli Coast boat ride! The captain and crew were incredibly friendly and welcoming, but what stood out most was how amazing they were with my son. Each crew member took time to check in with him and make sure he was having a great time. Their kindness and attention made the trip so memorable for us. The views were breathtaking, but the care and warmth from the crew truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!

Mahalo! That's beautiful to read
Absolutely fantastic time on the water and sailing around the Nepali coast. Our captain even made additional exploration up the coast to places that I’ve never seen before. Extremely professional very friendly a wonderful time in all.

We're glad you had a great time Chris! Mahalo
Beautiful views and perfect weather. If you are prone to sea sickness be prepared for that. Otherwise you should not miss this experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the 5-stars! And the good advise
It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. You will get sprayed by the ocean while the boat is moving so bring a waterproof bag for items that need to stay dry. Save your tears for the end if your lucky to catch the sunset which is beautiful so keep an eye on the weather before booking so you can catch the sunset.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Or you can cry through the whole beautiful experience!
Fantastic boat trip for best views of Na Pali coast. Food was fresh and delicious. I was nervous about going barefoot on the boat, but it really does provide best traction. Not for those who get motion sick. Definitely would do it again!!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Great Greg! We're glad you had a great time. We hope to see you again soon
We traveled with this tour last October. The staff were so friendly and helpful. My sister has special needs and they were so great about helping her get around and she had so much fun with them! They made the experience fantastic! The rest of the tour was also great - smooth ride and beautiful views!

Amazing coastline even with some cloud coverage. Great crew on the lucky lady friendly and attentive and the captain funny and informative and very aware of ongoing on board safety particularly once we'd set sail.

Mahalo Simon.

Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the 5 stars, even while not feeling well, that's very kind. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the b beauty!
It was an amazing trip. The captain, Evan was very knowledgeable and shared lots cool facts about the island. The rest of the crew- Josh & Lilly were awesome. They came to us several times asking if we needed anything. The food was yummy and the Mai Tais were even better! My cousin has celiac and must have gluten free food. They were very accommodating to her. Definitely a 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

You WILL get wet. Wear swimsuits or fast dry outfits. Do not bring purses or bags that u want to keep dry. Fun crew, beautiful scenery and a sunset! Who could ask for more? Oh yeah, taco spread and beer wine mai tais and pop and water. 5 stars!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the 5-stars! We also
Offer ‘dry bags’ to keep your personal items dry .
The trip was amazing. Highly recommend. Had so much fun and the views were out of this world. The captain and crew were great. Captain went above and beyond. Would definitely go again
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo!
You have to take your shoes off before you get on the boat and the top deck is a little rough. Just an FYI if you have sensitive feet. The lower deck has a softer cushioned floor. The waves were a little choppy in places, but no seasickness on our cruise. The food was great, the music was great, the crew was great, the views were spectacular! Wear sunscreen. Enjoy!
Response from Host, Jun 2026
We’re glad to hear you loved the amazing NāPali! Mahalo for 5 stars!
Captain Dawn and her crew did an excellent job. The sea was a little rough, but it was a ton of fun and the views of the Napali Coast were amazing!! We also were fortunate enough to see a pod of dolphins swim right next to the boat! The food and service were excellent!!

Epic Eric - Mahalo!
The views were amazing and we had an awesome captain/crew. The crew brought drinks around for everyone rather than going to the bar but they would also take requests. It was a rough day due to the weather and the captain offered an opt out before the tour began. Due to the rough waters, some people did get sick but the crew were very attentive to them. I would recommend this cruise.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Thank you for the recommendation, we appreciate it. We do recommend taking preventatives. Mahalo!
It was a great day. Surf was a little rough though. If you get sea sick, take anti- nausea medicine before you go. Staff was wonderful and very helpful. Captain was knowledgeable and food was delicious.
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Mahalo William, and good advice as well!
Amazing tour. Crew was amazing and fun. We enjoyed talking football with the crew and Liz was sweet and kind. We loved talking with everyone and learned so much about Kaua’i.

We're glad to hear you enjoyed your excursion Carol.
Absolutely wonderful! The best thing we have done this whole trip! 10/10 must! The staff and captain were absolutely wonderful!
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation! We appreciate you Chandra
This crew was amazing! To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. I lost my phone (in a sealed bag) in the ocean and the deckhand Zane searched for it and FOUND it! I was beyond grateful! I couldn’t believe he did this. TY again Zane! I have to say the whole team was wonderful. Very thoughtful, informative and fun! The excursion itself was also amazing! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Response from Host, May 2026
That's fantastic Stacy! Good for Zane, we will pass on your message~
Mahalo for joining us
Definitely have a dry bag for your towels, jacket and extra clothing. Do wear a swimming suit or quick drying attire. Water proof jacket or poncho might be a good idea. Parking is limited and not right @ the check in address but a block away. Our captain, Dawn, navigated great through all the different weather and water conditions we had along with giving info about the areas we were seeing. The Staff on boat, Josh, Josh and Erin were awesome at helping everyone and keeping them hydrated, fed (good food) and safe when moving about the boat. All in all a good cruise experience and beautiful scenery of the Na pali coast. I'd go again in a heartbeat. ♡
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you very much and thank you for your kind advise!
No words can describe, still amazed even though it was my second time already and staff are also great and friendly.
Response from Host, May 2026
So awesome - mahalo!
The sunset dinner cruise is misleading since it seemed more like a boat tour for adventure to see the coastline. We were not told anywhere that this is a 6 plus hour cruise. We were expecting a dinner cruise for a couple of hours and seeing the coast with sunset. The whole thing was misleading as it seemed more of adventure cruise. Also it didn’t tell us to wear clothes which will protect us from water since it was all in the water. I have done dinner cruise before in other islands in Hawaii and I was not expecting this. It was not a sunset dinner cruise but more like a full day cruise for adventure. Though the crew was hard working and very helpful.

We're sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with your excursion. If you would like to discuss further, please contact customercare@kauaiseatours.com
The boat does bounce over the waves and some did get sick. But apart from that. It is a very good experience that you won’t forget:

Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for the recommendations!
Highly recommend this excursion. Captain and crew were outstanding. Expensive but well worth the money.
Response from Host, May 2026
Mahalo!
Great staff and great experience down Na Pali; wish I would have known there was a possibility of getting drenched on the boat BUT it did make it a fun adventurous experience. Over all I highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for the high recommendation!
The sights were absolutely amazing. We saw whales even though it's technically past their season. The captain and crew are extremely kind, friendly, helpful, and accommodating. However, I'd you have ever had even a moment of ssa/motion sickness, you will likely get sick on this ride. I read the reviews and know a lot of riders had miserable sickness, but figured with my prescription motion sickness meds (patch and tablets) that I would do fine. The first hour was great and beautiful. Even got to feel some of the waves splash up which was fun. The next 3 hours I was horribly sick and the waves were very choppy. The Captain and crew where very attentive to those of us who were sick, but a 5+ hour ride takes a lot out of you when you're feeling that horrible. So, if you don't get motion sickness, this is a must do. If you get even a little motion sickness, it is beautiful but be aware that you may be miserable for several hours
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Jasmin we are glad to hear you enjoyed the excursion, but very sorry to hear you felt so sick. We appreciate your advice, yes, we do recommend taking preventative medication, even if you do not usually get sick. Especially during the winter and spring months.
