About
Our Sunset tour is an opportunity to see the Na Pali at its absolute best. As the morning mist subsides, the sun shines directly into the many valleys and ridges of the iconic 4,000’ high sea cliffs. The afternoon sun penetrates the crystal waters to yield colors that will become your favorites while the warmth is welcome after a refreshing swim. Our brand new 37’ Naiad super-raft will cut through the afternoon breeze to provide one of the smoothest experiences available. On the way back to the harbor, enjoy the splendor of West Kaua’i during golden hour as over 12 miles of white sand beaches are turned to gold.
