Port Allen (Nawiliwili), Kauai, Hawaii Cruises

Port Allen (Nawiliwili), Kauai, Hawaii Cruise Port

• There are many catamaran charters here that provide any number of activities. You may begin on a luxury ship and end up in a zodiac raft, exploring sea caves, waterfalls, and secluded beaches. Snorkeling is a popular activity associated with these charters, especially in summer. During the winter, you can hop a charter and go whale watching.
   
• Chocoholics will swoon over the Kauai Chocolate Company near the harbor. Here you'll find confections you may have only dreamed of (and many that your imagination never even considered). Between papaya creams, mango truffles, and handmade chocolate bars with fresh macadamia nuts, you may never be happy with ordinary candy again.
   
• For even more shopping (and to find boat charters), hang out at the Port Allen Marina Center. Here is a chance to grab gifts for friends and family, along with checking out the day spa and having a bite to eat and drink.
   
• If sandy beaches are ho-hum, then the fascinating and colorful Glass Beach will set your pulse to racing. The entire beach is formed from sea glass, mostly created from an old dump nearby. Its discarded glass was smoothed by the ocean over the years to create this otherworldly-looking spot.
