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.

This sunset tour was amazing, beautiful and relaxing. The staff was very attentive to everyone's needs and super friendly. The captain was friendly and gave us lots of information and history about the coastline. The scenery was breathtaking. We saw several pods of dolphins swimming by. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Shanna_T, Apr 2024
The best thing about this was the crew they were amazing and friendly , however had I known what this cruise was I would not have paid almost $1000 for my family of four to attend. The water was so choppy our whole family of regular boaters were sick the whole time we couldn’t even eat . Several people were throwing up and we were told this was a calmer day. The maximum amount of time I would be willing to endure this cruise was about an hour the last three hours of the cruise I just wanted off! I ended up drenched and sick after with a cold . Miserable time .
This was a once in a lifetime excursion that you don’t want to miss.
Benjamin_M, Apr 2024
This was such a beautiful and unforgettable experience for me and my wife! Our captain, a highly skilled operator and extremely knowledgeable guide was a young, sea salty woman who held the safety and satisfaction of her passengers in the highest regard. She proved to be a seasoned veteran sailor and gave us a wonderful history lesson on the Na Pali Coastline. We also had 3 different encounters with dolphin schools, and each time she would point them out to the travelers and stop the vessel for exciting photo and viewing opportunities. The 3 member crew of 2 males and a female were always looking out for the comfort and safety of all the passengers. They all went above and beyond to interact, entertain, provide food and drink, and truly make the sunset voyage so memorable and enjoyable. The beautiful full double rainbow that we were all lucky enough to experience was only the icing on the cake of a fantastic afternoon. Many Kudos to the Captain and crew of the Lucky Lady. I cannot say nearly enough good comments to you all. Thank you.
Wonderful experience
Zella_B, Apr 2024
Very competent and welcoming crew. We were well taken care of and felt safe. Crew were all caring. Food was excellent and plentiful. Captain Greg shared information about the Na’pali coast. KK chatted with us of her experiences growing up on Kauia. Overall very good!
Loved
Tamela_m, Apr 2024
Loved the crew on lucky lady Audrey , Josh , Colleen and Amber. Amber the captain was very informative. I wish I would’ve used Dramamine because I have been on tons of boats and never had a problem but the way really bad that day and so I did feel a little nauseous. The food was good. The crew was amazing and thank you for a great time. We even saw dolphins two times.
Great experience. Got sea...
Jesse_H, Apr 2024
Great experience. Got sea sick, so I would recommend taking medication before hand. Josh and the crew were super helpful!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
What a wonderful attitude Jesse - mahalo and thank you for joining us, come back again soon and take a preventative :)
Should come with a warning!
Kelly_B, Apr 2024
We were so looking forward to this excursion but were sadly very disappointed. We've taken lots of boat trips and are boaters ourselves. Seasickness has never, ever been an issue....until this trip. The boat, crew, and scenery were all outstanding but the seas were so rough we weren't really able to enjoy any of it. Probably half the guests were throwing up in buckets (we were both very close to it). The lower enclosed deck was a literal war zone of distressed and ill people. The captain said the waves were about a 4 out of 10 in terms of roughness. If it's usually worse than this why the heck isn't there some kind of warning or guideline for people to be aware of this?? It would seem that the tour company knew full well that it would likely be very unpleasant but just decided to not mention it. I can't imagine the crew at all enjoyed cleaning buckets from sick people. I would not recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Kelly -throughout all of our literature, ads and website, we state clearly that everything is 'conditions permitting'. We're very sorry to hear that the trip was not enjoyable for you. The summer months are far calmer. As a reminder, Kaua'i is the farthest land mass from the mainland. The weather and ocean conditions are unpredictable, even with the latest technology. Again, we deeply apologize you did not enjoy your excursion.
Experiencing the eastern coast..
Janice_C, Apr 2024
Kauai and his crew went above and beyond to make sure the passengers were taken care of, as many of us, unfortunately, got seasick. We were disappointed that we couldn’t sail to the NaPali coast, but weather conditions were not ideal.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank yo for understanding the conditions Janice. We're very happy to hear you enjoyed Captain Kauai and his crew. Mahalo for joining us.
Amazing and definitely a must do
Elaine_B, Apr 2024
The whole trip was wonderful but the captain and his team helped make if even more enjoyable The captain was funny entertaining snd very very knowledgeable
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Elaine we are so happy to hear you enjoyed the trip. The weather had been very hit and miss, so it's wonderful you were all able to enjoy the beauty! Mahalo for joining us
Sunset Catamaran ride
Michelle_F, Apr 2024
The boat went very fast over the large waves resulting in about half of the passengers being very ill. The crew were very responsive and polite. However, I would not recommend as we did not get to see anything nor were we able to eat due to being very ill. Waste of a lot of $$$$.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Michelle, we're glad to hear the Captain and Crew took good care of you. Obviously we are disappointed the ocean and weather conditions were rough. After a storm this can be very hit and miss. We deeply apologize and hope you will return during the calmer summer months. Mahalo
Fabulous Sunset Cruise with a great crew!
Keith_E, Apr 2024
It was a wonderful sunset cruise!! The captain and crew were great! The dinner and drinks were wonderful and the scenery was gorgeous! We even saw some whales on the way back! We highly recommend this tour!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sounds really nice Keith. Thank you so much for choosing Kauai Sea Tours and for the kind review.
Not a tour for those who get seasick
Naina_T, Apr 2024
The views of the Napoli Coast were amazing HOWEVER the journey to and back was rough. The waters were rough this day and the entire cruise was choppy and tipsy. Additionally it rained on the way back, and there is not enough indoor seating for everyone to get cover. Although the weather is unpredictable, they should have cancelled the tour due to the rough waters. Half the passengers were seasick including myself. Crew was awesome though and took care of everyone. If you want to see the Napoli coast, do it via helicopter. Even with motion sickness pills, this was tough. Would not recommend for weak of stomach. And no sunset this day. Would not do again.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We're sorry to hear you got sick Naina. The weather and ocean conditions are very unpredictable during the winter and spring months. I'm sure if it was rainy or stormy, helicopters were also experiencing the weather. We hope you come back and join us again during the summer.
Excellent and friendly...

We were able to see a few whales, dolphins and the most amazing views. The entire crew was amazing. 10/10 would do again.

Napali coast sunset cruise
Richard_I, Apr 2024
The crew was amazing and attentive. The weather was rainy and the water was rough. Although the captain explained the conditions we did not have the experience or knowledge to know what it would be like. I wish the captain had cancelled the trip. It was so rough we were constantly being pelted with seawater in the face so it was difficult to see very much. We loved the crew, but didn’t appreciate the captain.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Sounds like a lot of unpredictable weather Richard, we'r sorry to hear it. But we are really glad to hear that you liked our crew members. Mahalo for joining us and we hope you will give the excursion another try when the weather is less unpredictable
Na Pali sunset tour on the Lucky Lady
Randi_V, Apr 2024
An awesome family adventure. The Na Pali coast is beautiful. We did the tour in early April and Captain Kauai was able to get us as far up the coast as possible with unexpected windy conditions and large waves. We were lucky enough to see some baby whales and their moms on the way up and ended our sunset tour with dinner and a show from some spinner dolphins! Crew was knowledgeable and amazing! Such a fun bunch of people to tour with
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We're so happy to hear you and the family had a great time Randi. Mahalo for sharing with us and for joining KST
Breathtaking - Must do!
Jerry_D, Apr 2024
This was the best thing we did on our Hawaii trip. I'm sorry but I don't remember the names of the crew but they were great. Very friendly. The captain was great, she really knew how to handle the ship and ocean waves. We saw a lot of whales, a pod of dolphins, had some drinks and food (both were included in the base price of the tour). The captain took the time to move the ship closer to the whales and dolphins even though this is not a "whale or dolphin" tour. Totally do this!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you Jerry for the kind review and for joining us. You're right, we have great Captains and Crew members - all of them:)
Awesome❤️🙏
Deepa_V, Apr 2024
Amazing sea tour. I have been on many such tours, but this experience is the best of all. Capt Kauai and his crew Rachelle, Audrey, Onia were extremely friendly and entertaining., adventurous. We boarded the boat at 1.45 pm were back to shore after sunset around 7.10 pm Drinks, Beverages were free flowing. Being, vegetarian, I still got to enjoy the dinner. It was Taco bar with adequate vegetarian options to choose. Not many had sea or motion sickness in our tour, so everyone was happy. Very scenic, breathtaking, picturesque and spectacular views. I loved it😊❤️.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Yes! The NāPali is breathtaking, as is all of Kauai! We appreciate your kind review and beautiful description. Mahalo for joining us.

Chelsea_F, Mar 2024
We had such a wonderful time on our experience! It was worth every penny. The crew and captain were very attentive, friendly, helpful. The food and drinks were abundant and delicious! Most importantly, we had a great time watching the extraordinary views, whales in the ocean, and good company. I would highly recommend the specific tour to anyone visiting Kauai! It was so, so, so beautiful!
Response from Host, Apr 2024
