Napali Snorkel Adventure
4 Hours | Napali Snorkel Adventure - Hanalei
The Napali Snorkel Adventure is a unique one-of-a-kind tour with limited seating.
Summary
Climb aboard our rigid-hull inflatable “rafts” with twin 225hp outboards that will get you to the Napali Coast in record time! Large enough to include all the comforts you expect, and nimble enough to get up close to Kauai’s famous coast. The adventure begins the moment you step into the water to board—and it doesn‘t stop until we return to Hanalei Bay.
The adventure begins when you leave from the shore of scenic Hanalei Bay and we shuttle you by dinghy to your rigid hull inflatable raft which is anchored just offshore. There, you’ll do a “dry-transfer”, stow your gear, grab a seat and get ready for the experience of a lifetime.
Minutes after leaving the bay, the spectacular Napali Coast comes into view and you see why its dramatic cliffs and beaches have enchanted painters, authors and travelers for centuries… and we’re just getting started!
As we travel down the coast, your crew and Captain entertain your imagination with stories of the Hawaiians who once made this coast their home. From sea-level, you really get a feel for the tremendous scale of Napali. Keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles, and seabirds which are often seen on our tours.
Depending on the ocean conditions the day of your raft tour, we’ll stop and snorkel at one of several protected and shallow areas which will be teeming with tropical fish. Fins, goggles (with corrective lenses if you need them), snorkels, and flotation aids are all provided. If you’re new to snorkeling, our crew will be on-hand to provide instruction and pointers so you can get the most from your adventure.
After you have a chance to snorkel and relax on the Napali Coast, we’ll serve a tasty sandwich lunch before we head back up the coast to Hanalei Bay.

Adventurer II & III: Fun, Fast, Rigid Inflatables
Adventurer II & III are super-fast, modern, rigid-hull inflatable boats. Not to be confused with a Zodiac-type rubber raft, they’re made with a channeled fiberglass hull that cuts through the waves. Twin 225hp outboard motors allow for a top speed up to 30 knots!
The high speed of these rafts, combined with our unique North Shore departure brings the Napali Coast into view just minutes after we leave Hanalei Bay—no one gets to the coast faster.
These boats are designed for comfort as well as speed and safety.
*Due to vessel transfers guests should be prepared to wade in the water and be able to assist themselves onto tour vessel. Expect to get some “sea spray” on our high speed raft tours and passing rain showers are not uncommon on the Napali Coast—plan to dress accordingly.
“Dodging in and out of caves? Hugging the coast as you speed along? What could be better? We really enjoyed our tour with them! A ton of fun!“
