Na Pali Coast Sea Kayak Tour- Tuesday thru Saturday, mid-May thru mid-September. Our full-day adventure sea kayak itinerary location changes seasonally; in the summer when ocean conditions are right for it, we paddle Na Pali- in the winter months when the surf is up on the North Shore and the humpback whales are in our waters, we run the South Shore Sea Kayak Tour The Na Pali Coast Sea Kayak Tour About the trip: this is a 16 mile tour by kayak of one of the most beautiful
and remote of the world's shorelines. We meet early, in Poipu, and ride
together in our 15-pax van to the launch site in Haena. After about
an hour's paddle we'll come upon the famed sea caves of Na Pali, entering
if sea conditions permit. We'll raft up our kayaks for juice and snacks
at mid-morning. We paddle a total of 11 miles in the morning to our
first landing, which is at Milolii, the site of an ancient Hawaiian
fishing community, where we'll have lunch. Typically we arrive at Milolii
between 1 and 2 pm, so the morning is long! After lunch we have a 4-
mile paddle in typically calm water to Polihale, where our van will
be waiting for us. When we return to our Poipu store, we will have circumnavigated
the entire island!
A Friendly Reality Check: this is a very long, somewhat strenuous paddle in typically heavy seas. Don't sign up unless you are up for a good workout and maybe a challenge. While this tour is best enjoyed by people who are physically fit and have some basic paddling experience, you may join us as a first time kayaker if you consider yourself to be athletically inclined and quick to learn new sports. Of course, this trip is not for non-swimmers. Warning: If you are prone to severe seasickness this trip is not for you. If you feel that you may get nauseous, but not severely so, we recommend motion sickness medicine such as Bonine, Dramamine, or Triptone (over the counter). Equipment: We use tandem, open-cockpit, or, sit-on-top type, self-bailing kayaks with foot pedal controlled rudders to facilitate safety and ease of operation. You'll be given a lightweight fiberglass paddle with a tether, life vest, and dry bag as well. Lunch and refreshments are provided by us and include spring water, juice, snack bars, deli sandwiches and sodas. Vegetarian available on request. There's lot's of room in the kayak, so feel free to bring along additional drinks and snacks- no alcoholic beverages, please.
