Kauai Rafting Expeditions – Kauai Zodiac Tours Na Pali Coast

Our Kauai seacaves tours have been making it into some incredible areas on Na Pali Coast. The scenery feels unreal, just take a look at these photos. By the way, all tours to Na Pali Coast include exploring seacaves. We have great ability to do this in the summer months when the winter surf is gone. But we always err on the side of safety so if it looks unsafe we will not enter.

Kauai Snorkeling Tours

So many things to do in Kauai, but don’t forget the Na Pali Coast tour by boat. You can hike it, see it from a Kauai helicopter tour, but nothing can compare to the up close by ocean aspect of it. You need to join a Kauai snorkeling tour to really see the sea caves, waterfalls, gorgeous cliffs, and awesome acrobatics of dolphins and whales.

Seeing Dolphins in the Wild is a Fantastic Thing to Do in Kauai

The Na Pali Coast translated means “Cliffs” literally, and you can see why…



Kauai Snorkeling Tours take you past spooky sea caves like this one, the Open Ceiling Cave, a favorite for boat captains. This is actually a hollowed-out lava tube, when you get inside by boat tour, you look up and the sky is shining right down on you.

Snorkeling Kauai off the beach is one thing. But how about being shuttled by boat to a remote side of the island, where no cars can go, and anchoring in a pristine bay where the fish and water are spectacular and the…well you get the picture.

Kauai Snorkeling :: Snorkel in Kauai on Na Pali Coast!

Oh the things we see when we’re out there on a Kauai snorkeling tour.

Puffer fish, one of the world’s most deadly… In Japan, this fish is referred to as fugu. Sushi chefs who are licensed to prepare the exotic fugu sushi must be extremely careful, cause it can cause instantaneous death to the eater. That’s right, don’t be fooled by this cute little guy. Actually, this puffer fish is half eaten in the photo, by a nearby monk seal who already ate its little butterfly fins and even its delicious eyes. I hope that monk seal doesn’t experience the infamous “fugu fate.”

Kauai Tours: Our Kauai Sea Tours to Na Pali Coast

Never get tired of seeing the dolphins out there in the wild. My cranky self got up at 5am to this morning to make sure we could get the early morning dolphins on our way to Na Pali Coast on Kauai. Boy was it worth it!

I love the abstract tail photo that photographer Erik captured today. This dolphin did some amazing tail slapping today as it spun around our raft what seemed like 100 times.

The delight this created for the passengers was seen from ear to ear. And just take a look at this breathtaking scenery.
