The Napali Coast features many of the Kauai tours and Na Pali Coast tours which include eco tours, Na Pali Coast hikes, a variety of cruises, and kayaking the Napali Coast.

There's no doubt about it! The Na Pali coast is simply spectacular. The Napali Coast is isolated from the rest of Kauai by its tremendous and almost impassible cliffs which descend thousands of feet from the mountains above directly into the ocean. This coastline is believed to have been the original home of the first Hawaiians arriving on Kauai. Although the environment with its steep cliffs and often harsh ocean conditions may seem inhospitable, it actually provided very nourishing living conditions. There was plenty of fresh water, the valleys were lush with abundant fruit and plant life which also allowed for a certain degree of cultivation and the ocean waters provided amble quanties of fresh fish and marine life. Small villages were established and thousands of Hawaiians were known to have lived back up in these beautiful valleys.

The extremely beautiful and isolated Na Pali Coast of Kauai was thought to have been inhabited by thousands of Hawaiians in the “pre-contact” days prior to the discovery of Hawaii by Captain Cook. The valleys along the shoreline were well protected with the only access being via water or strenuous foot trails. These valleys were also very fertile with abundant rivers and flowing waterfalls and had a plentiful supply of fish off the coast. Taro became a stable crop for these inhabitants along with sweet potatoes and breadfruit.

The Na Pali Coast was actually a central location in those days inviting commerce between the regions of Hanalei, Waimea and the small island of Niihau as well as the much smaller islands of the Hawaiian archipelago located to the north of Kauai.

Rock walls and terraces can still be seen throughout Na Pali and the tours we offer to this ancient coastline will be among the most memorable events of your entire Kauai vacation.

The Na Pali Coast is very, very special. The cliffs consist of a robust tapestry of deep and narrow valleys ending abruptly at the sea. Geologically speaking, this type of valley is referred to as a "hanging valley". Instead of the valley continuing onward along the sea floor out to sea it ends abruptly at the sea shore where the constant and vigorous wave action carves the valley floor away at cliffs edge. Waterfalls and raging streams continue to this day to cut these narrow valleys.

Extensive stone walled flat terracing can still be found on the valley floors where Hawaiians once lived and harvested their taro. There is a vast array of boats that ply the waters off the Na Pali coast to witness natures spectacle from the perspective of the ocean, to snorkel the beautiful waters and to experience the numerous dolphins and whales (in season) along the way. Our "fleet" varies from large and stable power driven vessels to sail boats to zodiac rafts. The majority of boats will depart from Port Allen or Waimea areas. Trips also vary with the time of year.

Summer is the most opportune time to visit the Na Pali coast as the sea conditions are usually much milder. The winter time brings in the northern swells and often makes the waters along the Na Pali coastline very treacherous and impossible to negotiate, however some winter days can be excellent as well.

Kauai's Napali Coast Tours and Activities - Each Hawaiian Island has its own uniqueness with its own special treasures. On Kauai, it’s most unique and interesting feature is its Na Pali Coast. Seeing this coastline for the first time is like seeing a “land that time forgot”.

Here is a place that giant mountains have been carved over time by the sea, the winds and Kauai’s abundant rainfall. Many cliffs drop thousands of feet to exotic white sand beaches and clusters of waterfalls descend in a series of parallel lines forming perfect right angles to the ocean below. This special emerald green coastline can only be found on Kauai and whether you visit it by air or by ocean it should undoubtedly be included as a “must see” on your holiday on Kauai.
