The sun sets into the blue Pacific in the west and behind your sunset sail to the east the emerald mountains and cloud shrouded peaks with perhaps a rainbow or two light up with every vivid color imaginable. If there was ever a moment that will be etched into your memory forevermore it will be this one.
A sunset sail or sunset cruise is a good call for any evening of your vacation but perhaps the very best time would be your last evening on the island for a fond farewell.
The Na Pali coastline on Kauai is a favorite destination for most sunset sail boats. This uninhabited and uniquely beautiful setting is one of the most famous coastlines anywhere in the world. Many of the blockbuster movies you've seen back home have been filmed here and your vantage point from the sea is the only way this coastline can be viewed other than from the air. The rugged beauty of this area makes it impassable via land vehicles and this makes your sunset cruise all the more special.
Helpful Tips from Tom Barefoot - Sunset Cruises:
- Pupu's (Hawaiian appetizers) are almost always included with a selection of Hawaiian cocktails, beer, wine or soda.
- Times vary throughout the year with the change of sunset and oftentimes these popular sunset cruises are booked well in advance

Kauai Sunset Cruises - Dinner Cruises and Sunset Sails off the coast of Kauai are different then on any other island. This is true because most of them offer the unparalleled views of the stunning NaPali Coastline. On other islands the dinner cruises are generally 2 hours in length. Not so on Kauai. The majority of tours depart from Port Allen on the southwest coast and the picturesque coastline venture is generally a 4 hour experience giving you plenty of time to soak in the majesty of the NaPali coast at sunset.
