Seeing the Entire Na Pali

Here at Na Pali Experience, we understand the importance of getting your moneys worth for an entire tour. It is something that we’ve held our standards for during the past seven seasons.

Because we leave from Kekaha Harbor, it is the closest harbor to the Na Pali Coast that is located on the west side of the island. A good amount of time is actually spent along the west side trying to get to the Na Pali. What the passengers on those larger boats don’t realize is that beyond Kalalau Valley, there are amazing waterfalls, caves, valleys, and amazing must-sees! Thats why we explore and go the…

Open Ceiling Cave
