The Napali Raft Snorkel Tour is an adventurous Kauai ocean tour along the island’s famous Na Pali Coast. Travel by raft along one of the most remote and beautiful shorelines in Hawaii, where towering cliffs, secluded beaches, waterfalls and sea caves create a dramatic setting for the day.
This exciting Kauai snorkeling tour gives you a closer look at the rugged coastline while keeping the experience active and fun. Along the way, keep an eye out for dolphins, turtles and other marine life when ocean conditions allow. Weather permitting, the raft may also venture into sea caves for an even more memorable view of the coast.
Because this tour uses a raft, the ride can feel more adventurous than a larger catamaran cruise. Guests should be comfortable with ocean motion, splashy conditions and a more active style of sightseeing. The smaller vessel also helps create a close-to-the-water perspective as you travel beside Kauai’s cliffs, valleys and hidden shoreline features.
This Na Pali Coast raft adventure includes snorkel gear, lunch, beverages and dry bags for your belongings. It is operated by Blue Dolphin Charters, one of Kauai’s well-known boat tour providers. Overall, it is a great choice for guests who want snorkeling, coastal scenery and a more energetic way to experience the Na Pali Coast.
