What To Expect

Spend an unforgettable evening basking in the splendor of Kauai’s Na Pali Coast, which stretches 16 miles (26 km) along Kauai’s northwestern shore. Meet your captain and crew at Port Allen in the afternoon, and climb aboard a 60-foot (18-meter) luxury catamaran. Spread out on the spacious boat and move freely among an open-air sundeck, shaded cabin or upstairs observation deck.

Learn about the geologic history and ancient legends of Na Pali as you cruise past jagged peaks that rise up as high as 3,000 feet (915 meters). See pristine, white sand beaches and the valleys where young Hawaiian warriors once proved their bravery. Keep an eye out for local marine life swimming by, such as dolphins, sea turtles, and whales.

As the sun falls toward the horizon, savor a 3-course dinner of fresh, island-inspired cuisine. (See Itinerary for sample menu.) Top it off with unlimited beer, wine, tropical mai tais and soft drinks throughout the cruise. Watch the scenery change with the light as the ocean and cliffs become tinted with the warm glow of sunset.

At the end of your cruise, disembark back at Port Allen and continue enjoying the rest of a magical Kauai night on your own.

Sunset cruise

Anthony_B, Oct 2023

Loved the coast. Crew very friendly and Service was good. Food can't give a 3. Mine was cold and for $200 sort of expected more. Little disappointed.

Fabulous breathtaking!

Mary_S, Sep 2023

The staff were amazing! Very attentive, friendly and helpful and knew what you needed before you did! They were acutely aware of folks moving around safely. The captain was very informative and considerate of stopping to see special points of interest! They even deserve hazard pay for the 4 folks that forgot to take their motion sick pills.

Great tour.

Kristi_E, Sep 2023

The VIEWS

Courtnee_C, Sep 2023

We loved our ride with Lucky Lady! Amber and her awesome lady crew were outstanding. It can be a rough ride so be prepared! I took Dramamine and still had to utilize the “bucket” the views are breathtaking, the food was good and the crew took great care of us. Two thumbs up!

Courtney - what a wonderful attitude! We so appreciate guests who love the beauty and those around them, even if not feeling 100%. Big mahalos to you!

Lucky Lady

Jay_D, Sep 2023

The cliffs in Na Pali is worth the wait. The history and views are amazing. But, the ride wouldn’t be as great without our Captain Amber and her boat crew in Ashley, Raquel, and Rachel. I started feeling nauseous and they accommodated me and checked in very often.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

The NāPali is so very beautiful. We're sorry you started to not feel so good Jay, but really glad to hear that the crew helped out. Thank you for joining us.

Lucky Lady crew ROCKS!

Carolyn_L, Sep 2023

Omg Just AMAZING!! Must do!!

Sabra_S, Sep 2023

You guys!! This was such a fun excursion!! We got Kauai as our captain complete with his beautiful crew; Dawn, Audrey and Jess!! The vibes were beyond great, Kauai was FANTASTIC with all of his detailed history on the Islands, I just love how much he knows off the top of his head and they are super cool and interesting stories complete with an amazing sense of humor! We had a blast- we moved around the boat from top deck, lower deck and bow… the bow was my absolute favorite and I suggest for anyone to stand up there! We saw some fun jumping fish which made me feel like I was in a Disney movie… I cannot express how much fun I had!! The crew!! These ladies were amazing and SUPER helpful! I saw them helping so many people on the boat, just super nurturing and fun, I love to hear the stories of the locals and my brain was fulfilled with so much knowledge I’m over here wanting to book again!! The food was delicious, drinks were many and the people were great! Please bring your energy and good vibes because we all deserve an amazing time on this Gorgeous island!! We only went as a couple even though we have 5 kids, and it was a wonderful get away. Active little ones on the boat would make me nervous but there is plenty of places for them to be safely with high parent attention. There is 2 bathrooms on the boat and tons of seating! I highly suggest this tour and you should ask for Kauai & his crew!!

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Sabra! We appreciate YOUR energy and good vibes! Very nice that just the two of you got that special time away. and YES, we love our Captain Kauai and crew members - Dawn, Audrey and Jess. We are so fortunate to have the very best team in all of Kaua'i! It really is so beautiful, and sounds like you had some great ocean life sightings. Awesome. Thank you for choosing KST!

Na Pali Sunset.

Jimmy_B, Sep 2023

Na Pali Sunset Tour, Kauai, Hawaii on the Lucky Lady was breathtaking and scenic. The crew was very accommodating and friendly. The captain was very informative and warned us of different ocean conditions.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We're so happy you enjoyed the excursion Jimmy, Mahalo

Great trip and well worth it.

Nick_C, Sep 2023

A great trip with the Na Pali coast well worth the trip. We also had bonuses of seeing Green Turtles, Monk Seals and dolphins. Captain Kauai and his crew were brilliant and looked after us extremely well and were entertaining. Only slight negative was that the food was ok but not great. Overall a great trip. Plan your transportation back at the end as there were no Ubers and it was difficult to get a taxis to come and pick us up.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you Nick. We appreciate you joining us and for your review.
