Locals Only Day

A lot has happened in the last few months… we got a new boat, were able to get HB 1090 vetoed, and a new non profit is in the works at Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor. We saw an overwhelming amount of support from the community when we were on the verge of having our tours…

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.

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…

Kauai Sea Cave-Wai’ahu’akua

The Na Pali Coast is filled with several amazing beaches, caves, reefs, and views. One of the benefits of exploring the coast with us on our small catamarans is that we are able to access every single sea cave! Adventuring each cave is one of our favorite things to do on tour. Each cave is…
