Trade wind sailing meets snorkeling on a 50-foot catamaran that glides silently past Kauai’s 3,500-foot sea cliffs. You’ll anchor at pristine reef locations where Hawaiian green sea turtles, tropical fish, and colorful coral thrive in crystal-clear waters. A continental breakfast and gourmet lunch fuel your five-hour journey along one of Hawaii’s most dramatic coastlines.
Cruise along Kauai’s legendary Napali Coast aboard a sailing vessel, where dramatic sea cliffs rise thousands of feet above the water, lush valleys carve into the mountainside, and cascading waterfalls tumble down emerald slopes. As the boat glides past sea caves and hidden beaches, the crew shares stories of the Hawaiian people who once inhabited these remote shores, adding cultural depth to the stunning scenery. Throughout the journey, guests scan the waters for Hawaiian spinner dolphins, sea turtles, and, during peak season from December through April, migrating humpback whales.
When conditions allow, the captain selects an ideal snorkel site where guests can slip into the water and explore the vibrant marine life below the surface. All snorkel equipment and instruction are provided by the experienced crew, making this adventure accessible to snorkelers of all skill levels. Between the sightseeing and snorkeling, guests enjoy a continental breakfast and gourmet deli lunch, along with soft drinks, wine, beer, and purified water throughout the voyage.
