Tips for Touring the Na Pali Coast by Boat

From Jo Levy, for About.com

  • Don’t forget your camera, Take along a waterproof camera as well as any other you may own.
  • Bring a hat, sunglasses, a sweatshirt or windbreaker, sunscreen and an anti-nausea medication if you are prone to sea sickness.
  • If you brought binoculars to Hawaii, take them on this trip.
  • You should bring a towel, because you and or the seats may get wet.,
  • All destinations are weather permitting. Snorkel locations are determined by ocean conditions. A 24-hour notice for cancellation is required.
  • Pregnant woman are not allowed on board because of the vigorous nature of the trip.
  • HoloHolo Charters has had people with wheel chairs on-board, but the decision is up to the captain on the particular day you are going. Since conditions can change, that decision can only be made at that time. Speaking as someone who has gone, I think that the trip would be very uncomfortable for someone in a wheelchair or for someone who is not steady on his or her feet.
  • If you go on a snorkeling trip, but have never snorkeled, they will teach you as long as you can swim.
  • Children six years and older are allowed on the day tours. Children four years and older are allowed on sunset sailing trips and children five years and older can go on the Na Pali sunset tours. There were no children on our boat. The youngest people were in their late teens. If you are in Hawaii with children, then obviously your child will want to go with you. I think the sunset cruise is probably not one a six-year-old will enjoy.
Whatever tour company you choose or however you choose to see the Na Pali Coast, this is a site you want to see up-close and personal. It is one you will never forget and worth every penny that you spend.
