• Na Pali Coast - During the winter season, from late November to April, afternoon tours focus on whale watching and enjoying the sunset instead of snorkeling. Join an incredible 5-hour snorkeling and lunch tour along the stunning Na Pali Coast! This area is rich in historical significance and teeming with diverse marine life, including dolphins. The Native family-owned company, with roots in the Waimea community for 200 years, departs from here to the Na Pali Coast. Their history is remarkable, being the first to guide foreigners on their family’s double-hulled sailing canoes to the Na Pali Coast, as documented in history. They are thrilled to share their rich history and heritage, offering personal stories and cultural insights for a truly unforgettable experience. Choose from four comfortable catamarans, each providing the same fantastic tour experience. Weather permitting, the tour will explore several sea caves and offer snorkeling in pristine waters.

• Waimea Canyon State Park - Known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, this picturesque state park offers views of the vibrant Waimea Canyon, which spans over 14 miles and reaches depths of more than 3,600 feet.
