Cruise Kauai’s Na Pali Coast at sunset, with snorkeling when conditions allow, a casual dinner, and drinks aboard the Lucky Lady.
About this tour
Set out from Kauai for a sunset cruise beneath the towering cliffs of the Na Pali Coast. Aboard the Lucky Lady catamaran, watch the coastline glow in the evening light and keep an eye out for dolphins and sea turtles. This Kauai Na Pali Coast sunset snorkel cruise pairs striking ocean scenery with time to unwind on the water.
When conditions allow, the crew stops for 30–45 minutes of snorkeling, with equipment and expert instruction provided. Ocean conditions determine the route and whether snorkeling is possible; the captain may reroute to Kauai’s south coast. Back aboard, enjoy a casual dinner and an open bar with beer, wine, Mai Tais for guests 21 and older, and soft drinks. The catamaran also has a waterslide, restrooms, and fresh-water showers.
The 330-minute tour begins at departure, not check-in. Meet at the Kauai Sea Tours office at Port Allen Marina Center, and come ready to get wet. Choose this Kauai Na Pali Coast sunset snorkel cruise for a memorable evening of coastal views, ocean wildlife, and a sunset at sea.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.72 from 348 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 6.4.
