Na Pali Coast Sea Kayak Tour Na Pali Kayak

Get ready for a challenging 16-mile full day kayaking adventure along the gorgeous Na Pali coast of Kauai! Climb into an open-cockpit, tandem kayak and set off on an unforgettable trip around the Garden Isle of Kauai!

The Na Pali Coast Sea Kayak Tour is a pretty strenuous workout in heavy seas so beginners and those in less than great shape should steer clear. The entire route is about 17 miles long. The group sets off from Poipu by van shortly after 6 in the morning and doesn’t return until around 7 at night.

Once you’ve been dropped off by van at Haena, you’ll start out by paddling for about an hour out to the famous Na Pali sea caves, and after enjoying a light, mid-morning snack, off you go on the first leg of the trip – 12 miles to Milolii, paddling along the base of the 3000-foot tall sheer rock cliffs of the Na Pali coast! (Make sure you bring along a waterproof camera!)

Lunch is provided, including deli-style sandwiches, soft drinks, juice, and bottled water.

After lunch in Milolii, you’ll paddle another 5 miles in calmer waters to Polihale, where the Outfitters Kauai van will be waiting to pick you up after your amazing day!

This challenging, full-day kayaking activity is only available mid-May through mid-September. Disappointed? Don’t be! If you’re going to be in Kauai during the winter months, there’s a South Shore Sea Kayak Tour that’s just the thing!

Sure, you’re on vacation, but that doesn’t mean you have to lounge around all day by the pool. Get active with a Na Pali kayak adventure courtesy of Outfitters Kauai!
