The Captain
Hawaiian Capt. Makai promises to provide a safe, fun, and adventurous outing based on his over 25 years of experience on the Napali Coast. Also very important, though, is that Makai was born and raised on a 60ft. sail boat which spent most of the time in Hanalei Bay, Kauai and brings with him the type of authentic local knowledge that can greatly enhance not only your tour of the coast but also your entire stay on this island. Makai is also a professional water man. From Tow-in surfing to kite boarding, canoe racing, cliff diving, fishing, spear diving, sailing, and wake boarding. When you book a tour through NapaliMakai.com you are guaranteed to have Captain Makai as your guide, and with the personal setting achieved by limiting tour sizes to 6 you are sure to come away from the trip having seen and learned some amazing things. Capt. Makai is also a member of the Na Pali Ohana, a non profit group rebuilding and taking care of archaeological sites on the Napali coast.

Tour Details

Experience the unforgettable adventure of a Napali Coast tour aboard "Kai Nalu".  We'll travel under waterfalls and into sea caves when conditions permit. Encounter dolphins, turtles, whales (seasonal) and more! You will always remember the sight of dolphins swimming right in front of you. Because we place a limit of 6 guests per tour you can be sure that your trip will be up close and personalized.

When conditions allow, the power cat will choose to snorkel at Nu'alolo Kai, one of the best reefs on Kauai. This reef is inaccessible by land and can only be reached by small vessels.

Napali Kauai Surf Charter (Day Trip): $995 (4 surfers max)
During the winter season (September to May) we offer Napali surf charters. All levels of surfers are welcome, from pro to first time ever (we offer lessons). We can find waves from small to large, reef or sand, whatever you would like to surf. We do respect the local surfers of Kauai so we do not post pictures or names of surf spots. What I can say is that we will be surfing with no crowds. No pictures or filming is allowed of surfing. Unlike Oahu, Kauai surf spots are regulated and protected to keep them from being overexposed. Lunch is provided to all our guests: Gourmet deli lunch sandwiches, chips, cookies, juices, soft drinks and bottled water.

FYI: Na Pali Coast Ohana
In 1995 a handful of Kaua’i residents met and formed the Na Pali Coast ’Ohana. They were concerned about the impacts of years of public use of the 6000+ acre park, particularly the destination valley of Kalalau. In early 2000, the successful volunteer work of the ’Ohana was acknowledged by the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. An exclusive curator agreement  was granted to the ’Ohana to malama, care for, maintain and preserve, the cultural sites within Nu’alolo Kai.
