Through the several Napali Coast tours available, you can check out the natural side of Hawaii that Captain James Cook saw when he first cruised into these waters in January 1778 on the HMS Resolution. The word, "Na Pali" literally translates to "the cliffs." Sheer cliffs drop thousands of feet right into the Pacific Ocean along a 12-mile coastline on the northwest shore of Kauai, the eldest of the Hawaiian volcanic island chain. There are no roads to Na Pali, which lends to its natural beauty. Stone walled terraces, temples and houses still occupy the valleys of the location where historic Hawaiians once resided. Hiking, flying or traveling by saltwater are the finest solutions of seeing the beautiful Na Pali coastline.
The speediest variation of Na Pali Coast tours is the 1 Hour Kauai Helicopter Adventure. By riding in a high-end helicopter, you see the Hanapepe Valley and the Mana Waipuna waterfall, which was showcased in the opening scenes of the 1990s movie, "Jurassic Park." Your chopper also takes in the 3,000-foot deep Waimea Canyon. But, the focal point of the chopper ride is a hovering stop in front of the powerful 4,000-foot cliffs along the Na Pali Coast. Besides some amazing sights, you also get a full hour of narration from your guide.
