Select participants and date
The first light of dawn breaks over the Pacific, casting a gentle glow on Kauai’s rugged Na Pali Coast as the Lady Kailani, a 65-foot luxury catamaran, slips away from Port Allen Marina. Nearly silent but resolute, the dual engines hum against the backdrop of crashing surf daring you to explore further. From the expansive decks, the jagged sea cliffs rise like ancient spires guarding the island’s verdant interior, their verdure pushed by ocean winds and the scent of salt and plumeria.
