What To Expect

Hop on a 25-foot inflatable Zodiac for a guided cruise along Kauai’s scenic south shore. Your captain points out local landmarks—including Spouting Horn blowhole and Queen Emma’s historic residence—while watching for dolphins. At each of the two snorkel stops, gear up with provided equipment and dive into reefs teeming with yellow tang, butterfly fish, and Hawaii’s humuhumunukunukuapua’a. Keep your eyes peeled for Hawaiian green sea turtles gliding among the coral. Enjoy snacks and beverages between sessions before heading to the second spot for more snorkeling. This tour is suitable for all experience levels; instruction, gear, and safety support are included.
