Visitors can book a sunset cruise of the Nāpali Coast with local operators like Holo Holo Charters to appreciate the geology from the water. Family-friendly resorts such as Koloa Landing provide sprawling grounds and spacious rooms and suites suitable for entire families." - Andrea Romano Andrea Romano Andrea Romano is a writer and editor in New York City.
