Kauai Sailing Tours

Kauai Sailing Photo Gallery

Fluted green cliffs, boats under sail, clear water over the reef and the last light at the rail: the coast as your day on the water shows it. Weighing up sailing in Kauai? These are the views you sail for.

The set opens with the boats. Catamarans run along the foot of the cliffs, one under striped sails and one at rest below a dark headland. A small boat waits off a beach where a thin waterfall comes down.

Then the cliffs themselves. You see the ridges under cloud and in low sun, above a strip of sand, and from the air, where the valleys run down into the sea one after another. A layered cliff drops straight into clear water.

The water and the evening close it. A turtle crosses the reef below the snorkellers, a humpback whale breaks the surface in season, and passengers stand in silhouette at the rail.
