Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K
Description
If you're visiting Kauai, you absolutely can't miss seeing the stunning NaPali Coast. We offer a one-of-a-kind experience to do just that. As a Native family-run company, we are very fortunate to have been right here at our shop for 200 years, gathering our family's documented history to share about the NaPali Coast. Our Captains and Crew would love to share their very own culture and history with you on our tours. You can choose from one of our four vessels for a more personal and comfortable 4.5 to 5-hour tour. Our vessels are just the right size to explore sea caves with comfort when the weather allows. We can't wait to have you on board!

Itinerary
During our winter season, (late November to April) Our afternoon tours don’t offer snorkeling. We use that time for whale watching and sunset. Come join us for an amazing 5 hour snorkeling and lunch tour, on the breathtaking NaPali Coast together! This place holds immense historical significance and is home to a variety of sea life, including dolphins. Our Native family-owned co, has been a part of the Waimea community for 200 years, where we depart to the NaPali Coast, our families history is beyond imaginable from history books being the first to sail foreigners on our family's sailing double hulled sailing canoes to NaPali Coast by documented history. We're excited to share our rich history and heritage with you. Sharing their own stories and culture to create a truly memorable experience. Please choose from our four comfortable catamarans, which offer the same fantastic tour experience. Weather permitting, we'll explore multiple sea caves and snorkel in pristine waters.
Also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, this scenic state park overlooks the colorful Waimea Canyon, which stretches over 14 miles and is more than 3,600 feet deep.

Our tour guides, Jasmine, Lily and Mike were excellent. Good information by people that knew the island history and land. The crew were very efficient but also very friendly and engaging. We loved the trip!
This tour was spectacular and I can see why it’s the #1 thing to do on Kauai. The crew were amazing and the sights something to behold. What a great day.
If you’re looking for postcard photos and a fun, energetic crew this excursion is for you. The guides narrated through various locations of interest as we traveled to and through the Nāpali coast. The crew was a lot of fun - this would be the perfect outing for 20- or 30-something friends looking to jump off a boat into the ocean (seriously). Snorkeling location was too cloudy for good viewing, don’t do this trip if that’s all you’re looking for. The views of the coast are picturesque. The ship captain expertly steered us through choppy waters and caves alike.
This was an amazing flight with beautiful views our funny, knowledgeable pilot Koa was wonderful, it was really one of the best moments we had on our trip to Hawai’i.
absolutely amazing experience, worth every cent!! the views alone were stunning, but the cherry on top was the crew! they were incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and funny. i would highly recommend this to anyone visiting kaua’i
