Napali Coast Sunset and Dinner Cruise

Take a ride up the coast to view the famous and stunning 4,000-foot Napali Coast cliffs. This sunset and dinner cruise allows you ample time to sit back, relax, and take in the natural beauty. You can enjoy your afternoon with a Mai Tai in hand along with a delicious stir-fry dinner. It’s a night for the memory books, like our experience in this picture from 2010.

About the Napali Coast Sunset Tour

Looking for a memorable way to end your day? Head out on the water to get stunning views of the famous Napali Coast. You’ll be cruising on Holo Holo’s 65′ catamaran, which navigates the sometimes bumpy waters with ease. Pro tip: Head to the back of the boat if you aren’t interested in a bumpy, wet ride. Stay upfront if you want more of an adventure cruise.

During your time onboard you’ll have access to an open bar with beer, wine, and Mai Tai cocktails as well as juice and water. And don’t worry, there’s plenty to eat. You’ll enjoy appetizers, a delicious dinner, and dessert while you’re out on the water. Make sure your camera is fully charged because the photos that you get on this tour will last a lifetime. We did this trip with Jordan’s parents over 10 years ago and we still have the framed photo of us all in front of the impressive coastline. (We sat up front so we were drenched but smiling through the entire experience).

Looking for more tour options for the Napali Coast? Check out these other Napali coast tours from Holo Holo Charters:

  • 4.5-hour Napali Coast Sunset Cruise (this is the same tour, but on their 50′ Leila catamaran sailboat, which is a little slower, adding the extra hour)
  • Napali Coast and Niihau Snorkel Cruise
  • Napali Coast Rafting and Snorkel Tour

What about motion sickness?

This is not a leisurely sail through smooth waters. You’ll want to consider taking motion sickness medication to help make your trip more enjoyable. Young kids and elderly passengers may not be comfortable on a long and speedy boat ride.
