Go big or go home on one of the most ambitious tours Kauai has to offer—a 60-mile ocean adventure up the Napali Coast and across the Kaulakahi Channel to Lehua Crater and the “Forbidden Island” of Ni’ihau. We’ll experience Kauai’s sacred and breathtaking northwest coast and then head offshore into the deeper and more remote waters of Lehua and Ni’ihau where there are superior wildlife viewing opportunities and world-class snorkeling conditions. Snorkeling gear and instruction are provided, and our sleek and comfortable Kauai-built 65’ power catamaran is the vessel to take you and your loved ones there and back safely and in style. Breakfast, lunch, and beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are included in this beautiful, exciting, informative, and valuable 7-hour ocean experience that’s very likely to become the highlight of your visit to Kauai.

The catamaran team were great! They always made sure we were fine. Being on the ocean with choppy waves made the ride fun and memorable ✨️ ????.

This was an awesome tour. It started right at sunrise with a good breakfast and coffee. During the cruise along the island shore, we saw dolphins and sea turtles. The cliffs along the cost were amazing. Lunch and drinks were provided. Captain Jess and her crew were amazing and gave five star service to the passengers. I highly recommend this tour.
