The Na Pali Coast Sea Kayak Tour

About the trip: this is a 16 mile tour by kayak of one of the most beautiful and remote of the world's shorelines. We meet early. in Poipu. and ride together in our 15-pax van to the launch site in Haena. After about an hour's paddle we'll come upon the famed sea caves of Na Pali. entering if sea conditions permit. We'll raft up our kayaks for juice and snacks at mid-morning. We paddle a total of 11 miles in the morning to our first landing. which is at Milolii. the site of an ancient Hawaiian fishing community. where we'll have lunch. Typically we arrive at Milolii between 1 and 2 pm. so the morning is long! After lunch we have a 4- mile paddle in typically calm water to Polihale. where our van will be waiting for us. When we return to our Poipu store. we will have circumnavigated the entire island! 

A Friendly Reality Check: this is a very long. somewhat strenuous paddle in typically heavy seas. Don't sign up unless you are up for a good workout and maybe a challenge. While this tour is best enjoyed by people who are physically fit and have some basic paddling experience. you may join us as a first time kayaker if you consider yourself to be athletically inclined and quick to learn new sports. Of course. this trip is not for non-swimmers.
