Explore the Na Pali Coast from Port Allen, Kikiaola or Hanalei, with sea-cave exploration and snorkeling when conditions allow, plus chances to see wild dolphins.
The Na Pali Coast is the focus of our raft adventures: towering cliffs, waterfalls, sea-cave exploration when ocean conditions allow, and opportunities to encounter wild dolphins. Our crew chooses the day’s route and snorkel stop for safety; dolphin sightings vary. Super rafts offer forward-facing seats, while traditional Zodiac rafts have pontoon seating. Our seasonal beach-landing trip adds a guided walk ashore.
