Afternoon Nā Pali Coast Raft Tour from Hanalei

Explore the Nā Pali Coast aboard a 40-foot rigid-hulled inflatable boat handcrafted on Kaua‘i for this stretch of ocean. Depart from Hanalei Bay with direct access to the coast in 15 minutes, giving you more time alongside its cliffs. This is an ocean adventure: conditions can turn rough, and each outing follows what the sea allows.

• Photograph the coastline at dedicated photo stops in afternoon light
• Enjoy panoramic cliff and waterfall views from forward-facing seats rather than inflatable tubes
• Hear your captain share stories, legends and the history of Nā Pali
• Take in North Shore scenery, including Hanalei Bay and Hā‘ena
• Look for dolphins, Hawaiian monk seals, sea turtles and rays along the way
