If any of these questions ring true, then the Na Pali coast of Hawaii is perfect for you! Kauai is Full of Wonderous Waterfalls Kauai has the prettiest and most diverse waters in all of Hawaii. The number of waterfalls is abundant. The Northshore and the 17 miles of the Na Pali Coastline specifically are home to so many of these wonderful waterfalls.

Not only will you experience the falls, but along the tour, there will be opportunities to snorkel and visit sea caves that are unique to the Na Pali coast! When you take a tour with us here at Na Pali Riders, you’ll get the best view of Kauai’s seaweed-colored cliffs and their sharp edges that point to the clouds, casting a shadow over the Pacific ocean. Nestled against those cliffs are waterfalls, jungle, valleys, and some of Kauai’s most beautiful beaches such as Hanakapiai beach, Milolii beach, Nualolo Kai, and Polihale beach.

The lava tubes of Kauai are a beautiful sight. These tubes are different from the other Hawaiian islands. Kauai is the oldest of the Hawaiian islands, which means that the tubes have been broken down into sea caves and blowholes. In this blog post, we will tell you where you can find these lava tubes and how to experience them. Keep reading to learn more! How They Formed Lava tubes are created during a lava flow when the surface lava cools and hardens while the hot molten lava continues to flow beneath the crust. This forms a 'lava tube' or 'lava cave'. When the eruption ends, the remaining lava drains from the tube leaving behind an empty space. Since Kauai is so old, these tubes no longer exist in the same form as they do on other islands. They exist now as caves and blowholes on Kauai's coastline. Where are the Lava Tubes in Kauai? Today the leftover parts of the lava tubes of Kauai are located on the Na Pali coast, and a completely submerged set off of Tunnels beach can only be accessed by snorkeling or diving. The Na Pali Coast is one of the best ways to experience these unique formations. This part of Kauai is largely untouched and uninhabited, as the coast is full of large rocky cliffs and rough waters. You can explore this part by hiking in, on a helicopter tour, or on a variety of boat and rafting tours. The second and slightly more adventurous way to explore these formations is off of Tunnels Beach. This great location is home to a diverse set of wildlife, coral reefs - and of course underwater lava tubes. Tunnels Beach is a well-known spot for snorkelers and freedivers to explore the unique formations. One of the
