Other tours originating from Port Allen take hours of travel to get to and from the Na Pali while seeing only a fraction of the beauty that the Na Pali Coast has to offer. Our tours get you there fast so that you have time to leisurely experience the best of Na Pali Coast! To see what we mean, take a look at the map.

We are excited to announce that we will be operating boat tours along the stunning Na Pali Coast throughout the late fall and winter of 2024! During our "off-season," we are pleased to offer a modified tour experience that promises an unforgettable adventure! While our winter tours will be 3 hours in duration, as opposed to our standard 4-hour tours during peak season, the focus will be on captivating sightseeing and wildlife viewing along the Na Pali Coast. Please note that lunch is not provided, as we aim to reduce waste in the event of a tour cancellation. Snorkeling and sea cave exploration are less likely during the winter months, but our captains will always be monitoring the conditions and may have opportunities to incorporate these activities if the weather permits. Your safety is our priority, and you can rest assured that our tours will be conducted in the safest and most responsible manner possible. Our seasoned captains and crew members are committed to ensuring your well-being at all times, and we will not hesitate to cancel any tour if the conditions are deemed unsuitable. We warmly invite you to explore and book your winter adventure with us. These tours promise to be a truly unique and memorable experience, showcasing the breathtaking natural beauty of the Na Pali Coast in the winter!
Check-in for our winter Afternoon tours is between 12 and 12:50 p.m., depending on your tour time, with departure times at 12:45 and 1:15 p.m.
