Zodiak Boat
Na Pali means "cliffs" in Hawaiian, and the dramatic northwest shore of Kauai lives up to its name: Na Pali Coast. Most of these photos were taken from a Captain Zodiak boat tour along the northern coastline of Kauai. This is the zodiak raft used for the tour. 6 or 7 people sit on each side on the edge of the raft and hold on to the black ropes. Passengers have to sort of sit sideways and hang on, especially in the front half. A typical ride includes about 16 people altogether, and the boats go up to 45-60 miles/hour. The trip is 80 miles long and can take 7 hours altogether. |
