Enjoy natural power of the wind while enjoying pure nature.
For true trade wind sailing on Kauai join us aboard Leila, a
beautiful 50' sailing catamaran. Nobody sails more, and it’s not uncommon to attain speeds up to 18 knots (about 20mph)!
With her sleek construction and design, Leila slips quickly and smoothly through the waters.
The catamaran design allows for level sailing. With no more than 10 degrees of “heel,” you won’t be sailing sideways.
Honopū Valley and Beach sit along the northwest shore of the
Hawaiian island of
Kauaʻi, on the Na Pali coast.
[2] Honopū Valley is isolated and not easily accessible except by water. No landing of any aircraft or boat is allowed in Honopū Valley or on its beach, so visitors must swim from an offshore boat or from neighboring Kalalau Beach.
The valley, because of the mystery surrounding the exodus of the people who lived there until the mid-19th century, is sometimes called "The Valley of the Lost Tribe." In 1922, visiting archaeologists found several skulls thought to be primitive, pre-Hawaiian people. Later studies of the valley and its artifacts determined all of its residents were clearly Hawaiian, but the erroneous legend endures[ is the valley is so hidden and isolated, it is believed to be spiritual: it is a place of
temples and burial grounds, and the source of many Hawaiian legends and myths. The burial site for the local chiefs was located on the surrounding cliffs. It was believed that once a chief died, his bones held a supernatural power, and if found by others they could be used against the chief's tribe. When chiefs died, their bones were collected and taken to the cliffs, and the warrior who transported the bones had to die in order to ensure the secrecy of the location of the bones.
[3]The land on Honopū Valley is highly fertile; a castaway could survive there simply on the large amount of wild fruit, such as
guavas and
grapefruit, that grows along its coast.
