More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The emerald walls of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast surge up from the Pacific with a raw intensity that has long captivated adventurers. Aboard a 28-foot private motorized boat, you slip away from the harbor, the island’s lush ridges steadily shifting behind you while the ocean dares you forward. The boat's size strikes the perfect balance—small enough to navigate narrow sea caves and approach cascading waterfalls, yet roomy enough for six travelers to relax in comfort.
