Add to My List Check Off

Kayak the beautiful and iconic Na Pali Coast, what has been called the "Mount Everest" of ocean kayaking. Marvel at sea caves, plunging waterfalls, hanging valleys, and secluded beaches. Along the way it is common to encounter dolphins, sea turtles, and on special occasions you'll catch a glimpse of the elusive Hawaiian monk seal. kayak throught a waterfall to get into a sea cave, or paddling into a cave and discovering that the roof is now gone and a giant skylight appears overhead! Tours usually launch at Hanalei and end at Polihale (a 16-17 mile adventure). About an hour's paddle from the start you will come upon the famed sea caves of Na Pali, with opportunity to enter them if sea conditions permit. Continue for another 11 miles to a place called Miloli'i. Miloli'i is the site of an ancient Hawaiian fishing community. A lot of the tour stop here for lunch. After lunch paddle 4 final miles, in typically calm waters. This is a very long and somewhat strenuous paddle in often heavy seas. If you are not up for a good workout and maybe a challenge this tour is not recommended.
