Napali Snorkel Raft Adventure
5 h
About this activity
Meet the boat crew at the Port Allen Marina Center, where you’ll board a 14-person rigid-hull inflatable raft, custom-designed and outfitted for your safety and comfort. Store your personal items in a provided dry bag before you embark on your 5.5-hour extreme adventure, coasting past lush valleys and famous movie locations along Kauai’s Na Pali coast.
Along the way, the crew share their local knowledge of Kauai and marine life you may encounter. Keep an eye out for spinner dolphins skimming the waves and sea turtles surfacing, as well as humpback whales on their seasonal migration route (December to April).
When conditions permit, your captain expertly maneuvers the motorized craft into sea caves and under cascading waterfalls. You’ll stop at Nu‘alolo Kai, one of Kauai’s best reefs, inaccessible from land and reached only via small vessel. Under the watchful eye of your crew, dive into the water from the boat to snorkel over the reef, which teems with tropical fish (gear and instruction provided).
After the snorkel stop, approximately midway through the tour, dig into a prepared picnic-style meal on board, including a gourmet deli sandwich (choice of roast turkey, honey-baked ham or roast beef on a French roll), fresh seasonal fruit, chips and homemade chocolate chip cookies. Vegetarian sandwiches (hummus and avocado) or a gluten-free option of tossed salad with turkey are available on request. Juices, soft drinks and bottled water are available throughout the tour.
If you selected the afternoon tour, enjoy sunset views to end your half day on the water.

This was an awsome experience and I would definitely recommend this to everyone! If possible request Corrie he was the absolute best guide and made the trip so much fun #corriesthebest
The raft to snorkeling is not for cowards. It is ROUGH. Either shorten the trip or plan to take it easier coming back.. It was a great experience to see all the coves and caves and hear the history but for 45 minutes of snorkeling the 3 hours and 15 minutes of pounding on the pontoons was really tough. Our group of 12 ranged in age from 8 to 71..It was hard on everyone.. We were told before we started that if we had medical issues this was not our trip but no expalnation of WHY and once you are on board--it's too late..You have already paid in advance too..
This was an amazing addition to our honeymoon and a must do!! We were a little nervous at first because they made it sound risky and super freaky / exciting but the ocean was super nice and our captain was honestly so amazing and knowledgeable. This is the best way to see the coast! You will get wet
