Kauai Snorkeling Adventure

Every year, humpback whales travel up to 3,000 miles from their polar feeding grounds to their warm tropical breeding grounds here in Hawai’i! While the whales are in Hawai’i we get to see a variety of breeding related behaviors! Have you ever seen a 30 ton whale breach completely out of the water? It’s an unbelievable sight to see! We can also see behaviors like tail or pec slapping, spy hopping (yes, they can look at you!) and even heat runs (males competing to mate with a female)! We meet at the harbor at 7:30 am and get back to the dock around 12:30 pm. Because it is a private tour, we can split up the time whale watching and snorkeling whichever way you like. Generally we spend a few hours watching whales and when the sun comes out, and it’s a little warmer, we can go snorkeling!

Kauai: Na Pali Coast Super Raft Snorkel Adventure

Tina_M, Sep 2026

One of the best excursions I’ve been on it was so fun well worth the money

It is a wild ride but very fun. Ryan has exceptional boating skills. I felt very confident with him driving the boat and he made it very exciting. The music was awesome. We saw lots of dolphins. We went through a cave that was gorgeous and we got wet under a waterfall. They get up close in personal to the coastline, Ryan and Jeff make a great team they make you feel very welcome and make sure that you’re comfortable with the whole trip. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants a little adventure.

Amazing Na Pali Coast Adventure with an Incredible Crew! 🌊⭐️

The overall tour of the Na Pali Coast was absolutely amazing! 🌊 The boat tour was a fantastic experience, with breathtaking views, beautiful scenery, and an unforgettable adventure on the water. The snorkeling was also a highlight, with beautiful clear water and an amazing opportunity to be in the ocean. The crew was so much fun, friendly, and full of great energy. They made us feel welcome, and really went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. Their enthusiasm and knowledge made the trip even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this boat tour to anyone visiting Kauai—it’s definitely an experience you won’t want to miss! Thank you Josh, Aaron, Keala, and Andy for making this tour memorable and amazing ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The BEST Way To Experience The Epic Napali Coast

One of our favorite activities on Kaua’i! Super recommend. Definitely the best way to experience the Napali Coast. The raft ride is definitely a high-speed adventure, but it wasn’t nearly as wet or challenging as I expected. The crew makes it easy to ride a long, the music was such a nice touch, it created an epic vibe. Highly recommend taking the early morning tour - we saw Hawaiian Spinner dolphins and Bottlenose dolphins! The sea caves and stories of each of the sites were fantastic. The whole staff is so knowledgeable and friendly. If you’re prone to motion-sickness (or even if not!) I would highly recommend taking an over-the-counter anti-motion sickness medication about 1 hour before — it saved me big time! Didn’t have a problem at all and enjoyed the sway of the ocean. If you’re unsure about this activity, go ahead and book it! You won’t regret it.

We’re coming back! Can’t wait!

My husband is afraid of the water, I made him go and he hasn’t stopped talking about it! He tells everyone how amazing it was! In fact, we’re coming back in September from Utah, and he wants to go back to this exact same company, so we’ll be booking soon! He said the guide was wonderful, she explained things the whole time and knew right where to take them to see turtles!

Must do activity

This was the highlight of our vacation so far. Christian provided a detailed safety, species, and equipment briefing that includes the folklore and socio-cultural context. His knowledge of the reef and sport are amazing. We saw many species and were thrilled with numerous turtle encounters. Do not expect to be successful immediately—it is technical and does require some luck as well as skill. This trip is not with a speargun-it is with the 3 prong sling spear. Can’t recommend this experience highly enough.

Great boat ride, lots of turtles!

The boat ride kinda stole the show on this activity! We had only signed up hoping to snorkel with the sea turtles (and we're not disappointed), but the boat ride was an unexpected win! Because of how fast the boat moves through the water, you are able to see a lot of the coast. If you like a little more adventure, sit at the front of the boat!
