Select participants and date
The Na Pali Coast demands to be seen from the water. As the Lucky Lady catamaran slips away from Port Allen Marina on Kauai’s southwestern shore, the coastline unfolds like a rugged fortress shaped by millennia of trade winds and ocean currents. Jagged cliffs rise sharply, their sheer faces daring the waves below as sea caves punctuate the towering cliffs with shadowy mouths. This five-hour deluxe sunset cruise offers an intimate perspective of one of Hawaii’s most dramatic coastlines, far from the crowds and accessible only by boat or foot.
