Morning Magic Na Pali Tour

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…

Help Save Kauai’s Local Boat Charters

We need your Help! Bill HB1090 has been passed without public knowledge by our state legislature and is now awaiting Governor Green’s signature. If signed, this bill would result in the revocation of 15 permits from Kikiaola Small Boat Harbor. This action would have devastating consequences for our local small businesses, leaving a significant number…

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. Thats why, we are one of the few companies that take you along the entire Na Pali Coast! The larger boats, turn around at Kalalau Valley because they come from a farther distance. 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…

Seven years, four boats, and eleven captains later, we are the number one tour company on the Na Pali Coast!  With…

Miloli’i Valley

Milolii was once an old Hawaiian fishing village, with its own source of fresh water, the Hawaiians that once lived in this valley flourished. The Milolii reef protects sea turtles, fish, and monk seals from larger predators which was perfect for fishing and catching their own food.  Milolii also has a stream which flows from…
