Overview

Embark on the most adventurous tour in Hawaii—a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the legendary Forbidden Island of Niihau.
🌅 Scenic VoyageStart your morning with a fresh tropical breakfast—coffee, tea, juices, and sodas—while cruising along the dramatic NaPali Coast. Then, cross the 17-mile channel to the secluded island of Niihau, a place rarely seen by outsiders.
🤿 Swim the Forbidden WatersThough landings on Niihau are not permitted, you’ll dive into crystal-clear waters with visibility up to 150 feet—perfect for snorkeling, floating, and swimming. Glide down the onboard waterslide, relax on a boogie board, or simply dip your toes from the swim step at the back of the boat.
