Space is Limited as we keep our groups small. Non-snorkelers are welcome on the trip, but there is no reduced ticket price if you choose not to snorkel.

Na Pali Catamaran

This Na Pali Coast Power Catamaran Tour is a high speed vessel that cuts through waves and allows for the most stability for our customers. Our 48-foot Catamaran “Marina A” Is high bridged allowing our guests to feel less motion from waves than catamarans lower to the surface of the ocean.

Our Scenic & Snorkeling Power Catamaran Tour is perfect for those who want to enjoy and experience the Na Pali Coast without the physically strenuous parts of our Zodiac Raft Tour.

“Marina A” is the Fastest “Large Scale” Catamaran that departs from Kikiaola Boat Harbor, The closest boat harbor to the Na Pali Coast.

Measuring 48 feet in length, with 4 monstrous Yamaha Engines, our vessel provides 1,000 horsepower and cruising speeds of 30 knots.

Our Vessel features two FULL sized restrooms, a fresh water shower, padded seats with handle bars, a shade canopy, a front bow viewing deck and Kaua’i’s best Captains & Crew.

The south shore is home to beautiful reefs that provide a home for some 200 or so indigenous Hawaiian marine species. You will have the opportunity to spot wonderful coral reefs, colorful reef fish, sea turtles, dolphins, and much more!

We maintain a respectful distance from humpback whales and follow all state and federal requirements. All other marine life we get you as close as possible and in the water with them when it makes sense. Our goal is to allow you to be as close as possible. We let tourists swim with them ... the only thing you are not allowed to do is harass them via chasing them, cornering them, or touching them. Our captain's put you in the direct path of the sea life and were they are swimming and having you get in the water is common place and very exciting because more often then not the spinners will interact with the snorkelers and swim under and around them.

Yes, all of the gear is included in the price of your ticket. You are welcome to bring your own equipment, but there will be no discount on the ticket price. If you would like to bring your own gear, Blue Ocean Adventure Tours can supplement what you may need and we always carry on board spare masks and snorkels.

We spend more time in the water than other boats on the island. Again we let nature rule the show, but will often spend 45 minutes or more at each snorkel site.

We recommend wearing a bathing suit with a couple of extra layers on for the ride over to the snorkeling or whale watching sites. We provide a dry bag for your personal belongings; just bring whatever you would need at the beach! Don’t forget a towel, sunglasses, a hat and sunscreen!

It is recommended that you have the desire to float and view marine life, we cannot create the desire to snorkel. Relaxing is the most important snorkel tip of all time!   You will also have personalized instruction in the water.
