Blue Dolphin Charters – Niihau & Na Pali Coast Snorkel

Spend the day traveling beyond Kauai’s coastline on a 65-foot catamaran that combines Na Pali sightseeing with snorkeling near Niihau. The morning begins with breakfast on board as the boat heads past the steep green cliffs, sea caves and remote valleys of the Na Pali Coast before crossing the channel toward the “Forbidden Island.”

Once near Niihau, the focus shifts to the water. You’ll have time to snorkel in clear offshore conditions, where coral reefs and tropical fish create a very different scene from Kauai’s rugged coastline. There is no landing on Niihau, but the offshore setting gives you a rare look at this remote part of Hawaii from the water.

After snorkeling, return to the catamaran for lunch and drinks while the crew keeps watch for dolphins, sea turtles, seabirds and seasonal whales. With shaded seating and plenty of deck space, there is time to relax and take in the open-ocean views on the ride back.
