Cruise Kauai’s Nā Pali Coast aboard a spacious catamaran, with sunset views, catered dinner, appetizers, and an open bar.

About this tour

Set sail for a sunset cruise along Kauai’s legendary Nā Pali Coast, where dramatic cliffs rise above the Pacific. Aboard the 65-foot Lady Kailani, spacious decks, padded seating, and shaded lounges make it easy to settle in and enjoy the ocean views.

This guided Kauai catamaran cruise lasts 4 hours and 30 minutes. Your captain and trained crew provide a safety briefing before you head out; the route may change with ocean conditions, and some trips reroute to the south coast. Onboard, enjoy catered appetizers and dinner, plus an open bar serving beer, wine, Mai Tais for guests 21 and older, and soft drinks. Restrooms are available, and the vessel offers 360-degree views from its decks.

The cruise suits guests who can move around the vessel and hold on in potentially rough waters. Check in at the Kauai Sea Tours office in Port Allen Marina Center, then step aboard for a memorable evening on the water. Book your Kauai catamaran cruise and experience the Nā Pali Coast from the sea.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.84 from 56 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Kauai

Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 47% in Kauai means it ranks in the top 47% of tours in Kauai by this score.
