About Blue Dolphin Charters - Napali Raft Snorkel Tour
Ride a rigid-hull inflatable raft along Kauai's Na Pali Coast with Blue Dolphin Charters, with sea caves, waterfalls, secluded beaches and snorkeling when conditions allow.
Hold on for a fast-paced ride along Kauai's legendary Na Pali Coast aboard Blue Dolphin Charters' 25-foot rigid-hull raft. Built for speed and adventure, this tour brings you close to towering sea cliffs, rugged shoreline and hidden sea caves when weather and ocean conditions allow.
Along the way, watch for playful dolphins and other marine life moving through the clear coastal waters. When it is time to snorkel, slip beneath the surface to look for colorful fish, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles) and the vibrant underwater life that makes the Na Pali Coast so memorable.
This is Blue Dolphin Charters' only tour that enters Na Pali's sea caves when conditions allow, making it an exciting choice for travelers who want a more adventurous way to experience the coastline.
