Kauai

If you’re coming to Kauai, there’s almost surely one thing that’s on your bucket list—seeing the rugged and green Napali Coast. But getting to this stunning place isn’t exactly easy—the only way to get there is via air, hiking trail, or boat. While all of these ways have their merits, seeing the Napali Coast via boat tour uniquely affords you the ability to explore its caves, get up close and personal with some of Hawaii’s incredible sea life, and appreciate the grandeur of its 4,000-foot cliffs from the water. Here’s everything you need to know about seeing the Napali Coast via boat tour, including what to expect and exactly which tours you should book.

Kauai has a few unmissable activities—-hiking the Kalalau Trail, peering over the rim of Waimea Canyon, and seeing the island’s spectacular landscape on a helicopter tour. If you want to kick the level of adventure up a notch, though, you should definitely consider booking a doors off helicopter tour in Kauai, with nothing between you and and the jaw-dropping landscapes of the Napali Coast or the Wai’ale’ale Crater, a thousand feet below, other than your seat belt. Here’s everything you need to know about booking a Kauai doors off helicopter tour, including exactly which one to book and what to expect.
