NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K

Overview
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!

Na Pali Coast State Wilderness Park
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.

The tour to the Napali Coast was really great. We had some heavy seas, which was not particularly stomach-friendly.
The crew was super nice and attentive and we were well helped to deal with the seasickness as well as possible. 
We had a fantastic view of the coast, there was a lot of information about nature and culture in Hawaii. We were lucky and could see many dolphins and 2 whales. 
We can definitely recommend the tour, if you can't tolerate the swell so well but the crew is immediately on hand and helps you deal with it.

Everything is great! Organization, extreme kindness and skills of the crew. The boat is very comfortable, fast, shaded and protected. Much better than the slower and less maneuverable trimarans to get closer!

We were 9 people, from 8 to 74 years old. A trip that exceeded our expectations, I thought we would only see the landscape, but everything was exceptional, first we snorkeled, very well, warm water despite being in winter, the view underwater was incredible. Then we sailed to Napali, approaching the coast to see the waterfalls and caves , during the trip we saw in the distance the whales, but we saw a family of dolphins traveling close by, finally we arrived to Napali, all a little dizzy and some vomiting, but the sight deserves any sacrifice. The crew behaved very well when we were dizzy. Back we saw humpback whales only a few meters away from us... it would seem to greet us... certainly a memory for our lives.
