"Experience NAPALI through HAWAIIAN EYES"

Locally owned and operated company, Liko is a native Hawaiian born and
raised on Kauai. However, his roots or O'hana (family) are from the "Forbidden Island" of Niihau. Like his ancestors of old, his passion is going to sea. LIKO KAUAI CRUISES invites you for the ultimate experience along the Napali coast. You'll view wondrous sea caves, cascading waterfalls, uninhabited lush valleys, miles of white sand beaches and incredibly blue ocean water. Snorkel in the warm tropic water with equipment and instruction provided. Marvel at the colorful marine life, playful dolphins, flying fish and humpback whales when in season. 

Our Captain and crew, most of whom are natives - add a local flavor and presence, and are determined to make this a once in a lifetime experience. Stops are made throughout the journey for informative and amusing commentary that allows ample opportunity for photos and videotaping.

Our daily west-side departures are from the closest commercial boat harbor, which allows for more time along the Napali and longer snorkeling sessions.
