The Na Pali Snorkel tour departs as the sun rises over the ocean during the calmest part of the day, making your journey to the Na Pali Coast fast and smooth. Once onboard, our marine biologists and naturalists share information about the marine creatures you may see along the way, including the ever-popular Hawaiian spinner dolphins which are seen every day, practically guaranteed. (Did you know the spinner dolphin can spin as many as eight rotations in the air?) There’s a great possibility of seeing sea turtles and flying fish, maybe even monk seals and manta rays. During Winter when the whales migrate, you’ll learn about their journey from Alaska, where they feed, to Hawaii, where they breed. (During the peak months of February and March, they’re everywhere, and at 45 tons, you can’t miss seeing them.

In addition to marine life, you’ll witness the majesty of the Na Pali Coast—with cliffs as high as 4,000 feet in some places—and learn historical and cultural information about life in ancient and modern Hawaii. (Did you know the land once terraced for taro was used for growing coffee in recent times? That in the 1890s, Ko‘olau the Leper and his wife Pi‘ilani successfully evaded the provisional government’s army in defiance of its decree to be exiled to the “Leper Colony” on Moloka‘i? That the movie “Six Days, Seven Nights” was filmed on the beach of Honopu which is bisected by a lava rock arch?)
