Snuba Tours of Kauai | Small-Group Guided Beach SNUBA Diving Tour at Lawai Beach

Awesome Experience

Reviewed by: Honeymooners

My husband and I did this on our honeymoon at the end of Jan, It was so much fun, we both had a blast, made us want to get our snorkling gear and go spend more time in the water, but snuba diving is way better. A definite must do when on vacation in Hawaii.

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ　立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き＜朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き／英語ガイド＞

It wasn't interesting. 面白くなかった。

Reviewed by: Jun Hamasaki

Despite being told to gather at Port Allen at 6 AM, when I arrived at 5:45 AM, the shop lights were off and there were no staff present. The parking situation was also unhelpful. Perhaps due to a low-pressure system passing through the night before, the boat was rocking heavily, and the rainy weather prevented us from enjoying the stunning views of the Na Pali Coast. The snorkeling was challenging because the water was cold and the waves were high, so I quickly got back on the boat. The lunch was average, but the return trip was extremely bumpy, leading to many people getting seasick, including myself. In hindsight, I think it would have been better to enjoy the coastal scenery slowly on a catamaran yacht instead of a speedboat. Overall, it was a difficult activity to participate in.

早朝６時にポート・アレンに集合とあるのに５時４５分に行ったらお店の電気も点いてないし係員もいませんでした。駐車場も案内も不親切です。前夜に低気圧が通過したせいか船の揺れが激しく雨模様の天候もあってナ・パリ・コーストの絶景も楽しめませんでした。スノーケルは水が冷たく波が高かったのですぐに船に上がりました。ランチは普通でしたが帰路の揺れが半端じゃなくて船酔い続出で僕も戻しました。結果的にはスピードボートじゃなくてカタマラン・ヨットでゆっくりとコーストの景色だけを楽しんだほうが良かったとおもいます。参加してつらかったアクティビティでした。

Na Pali Coast Explorer Ocean Rafting Snorkel Tour (from Kikiaola Harbor)

Fantastic!

Reviewed by: Evan

This was a fantastic tour! While we did not get to go hike and see an ancient Hawaiian village, it was still a very enjoyable tour. The staff knows their stuff and their tidbits were great to have on the tour. I loved how manueverable the boat was, allowing us to go more places than just a regular boat, including inside a sea cave, which was awesome. The snorkeling was fun too but the fish were not very active where we were. The vistas they provided us and the information within were great... I would go back on this again.

Hanalei River and Blue Lagoon Kayaking & Guided Snorkeling Tour - Kayak Kauai

Very bad service!

Reviewed by: SAEZELL

This excursion was fun, but staff at office was very rude. Acted like we were a burden to even help. Very short and snobby. Especially blonde lady. No one even smiled at us. I have never been on an excursion so unorganized and unfriendly. Our guide was nice enough, but no instructions for snorkeling. My sister had never snorkeled and he just gave us our masks and left us to snorkel on our own while he went spear fishing. As we were kayaking he got way ahead and never stopped and checked on the group. I was very disappointed. I have been on several excursions and the staff has always been wonderful, but not this one. I would NOT recommend this company to anyone!!!!!

Beautiful views but unpleasant

Reviewed by: Brian

We were contacted for an "upgraded" tour at no additional cost and accepted. We were slated for a catamaran but the upgrade got us a zodiac boat. We were supposed to have 1 hour of snorkeling with the tour and with the upgrade to recieve a nicer lunch.

The trip out was bouncy but tolerable. Saw the coastline, caves and spinner dolphins which was a treat. Got the tour of the old Hawaiian and the lunch was very good.

Things deteriorated when there weren't enough snorkles for all the people! (They were two short) We were told we'd have only 30 minutes to snorkle the reef which just wasn't enough time (no explanation for the shortened snorkeling time). The trip back was brutal in the zodiac once past Barking Sands. High chop, winds and bouncing on the edge of the zodiac was particularly rough (understatement). The driver did the best he could to minimize the bouncing but we found out that the afternoon winds made the trip we expereinced very typical. It was very,very unplea

Weather can be a variable

Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous

I was generous with my stars considering our unseasonably bad weather day on the seas. This was certainly not any fault of the team, but be mindful that weather can play a factor in the enjoyment. Biggest negatives of the weather:
choppy seas prevent some of the potential exploration
cloudy skies prevents the sun from heating you up as you get wet/cold from splashing water

We're pretty adventurous and rugged so the weather only notched down the enjoyment 1 level, but one person got sea sick on our trip and I am sure their enjoyment was a ZERO.

Weather aside, a great way to see the wonders of the Napali Coast and of course do some snorkeling. My wife was a first time snorkeler and she had a great time swimming with the fish and TURTLEs. Sadly no dolphins during the dive but we saw some on the boat trip.

If you've done a tour of the coast, this is not the best time spent for snorkeling, but a great combination tour and snorkeling adventure...so good value for your precious

My husband and I took Na Pali Coast Snorkel Cruise June 29th and had such a wonderful time! The scenes are breathtaking and we do not have enough great things to say about the Na Pali explorer staff. We were given incorrect info by the concierge at our hotel and the staff worked with us so that we were still able to experience the tour we signed up for.

First, let me say it was a fun trip. The crew was awesome; they knew the area and did a great job of explaining everything we saw. The lunch was great. We got to see whales, turtles and dolphins. But when you book a snorkeling cruise because that's what we wanted to do and there's no snorkeling and no explanation as to why, that's why I'd say this is a rip-off.

We gathered at 6 AM, starting in complete darkness. Right after we set out, we witnessed the sunrise and encountered dolphins, making for a very satisfying tour.

What a ride

Reviewed by: dearljade

We really enjoyed this cruise. The Na Pali coast is very beautiful. The breakfast and lunch was great. The snorkeling was fantastic. Getting to see a monk seal basking in the sun was really great. The ride home was the only part of the trip that was challenging. I recommend anyone taking this cruise to take a dramimine before departing. On the ride back the crew passed out plenty of buckets, people were getting sick because of the rough ride. It is not the fault of the crew, the seas are especially rough. The only warning we got ahead of time was that it is an "E" ticket ride on the way back. No one on the boat knew exactly what to expect. We were lucky enough not to be the ones who did get sick. Well worth the money and the views are breath taking. It is an experience we will never forget. The crew was very nice and helpful. Thanks y'all!!

I was able to take my time to enjoy the Napali Coast, and I even had the delightful experience of encountering a pod of dolphins along the way. There were detailed safety considerations, so I didn't feel particularly anxious. However, there were hardly any Japanese people, so all the explanations were in English, and due to the noise of the boat, I could hardly understand anything. It's a shame because the guide was doing their best to provide information. I might need to improve my English skills to enjoy it more. Also, during snorkeling, I was surprised by the lack of fish, so I got out of the water quickly. Maybe the waves made it difficult to find a good spot.

ナパリコーストもゆっくりと見ることができ、途中でイルカの群れに遭遇するという嬉しい出来事もありました。安全面も細かい配慮があったので特に不安に感じることもなかったです。ただ、ほとんど日本人がいないので、説明はすべて英語で、船の騒音もあってほとんど理解できませんでした。ガイドさんが一生懸命案内してくれていたのに残念です。もっと楽しむには英語力が必要かもしれません。あと、シュノーケリングは、なぜここで？と思うくらい魚がいなかったので、すぐあがってしまいました。波があるから場所がないのかな。

This is an adventure!! これは冒険！！

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

I was able to see some truly wonderful scenery. We had to leave the hotel at 6 AM when it was still dark, but I’m glad I woke up early!

The captain and the crew greeted us warmly, and as soon as we boarded the boat, a rainbow (a double rainbow!) appeared overhead, instantly dispelling any worries I had! The sunrise from the boat was also incredibly beautiful.

The distance to the Na Pali Coast is quite significant. We picked up speed more than I expected as we headed toward our destination. My body lifted off the seat several times! As someone who loves roller coasters, I really enjoyed it. I was completely absorbed in the scenery passing by.

We zoomed to the turnaround point, and from there, we enjoyed the breathtaking views of the Na Pali Coast while the crew provided explanations. We even got close to the sea caves along the coastline. We were able to see waterfalls in various spots as well.

After enjoying the Na Pali Coast, we headed toward Niihau Island. This also involved quite a distance! We moved through the deep blue sea. There were many birds flying around. As I watched, I saw a bird dive into the water to catch a fish! Watching the birds glide between the waves was mesmerizing.

As we approached the crater next to Niihau Island, the color of the sea became more and more beautiful. I was excited to think, “Can we swim here!?” At the snorkeling spot, we discovered a sea monk! Although I didn’t see it underwater, its little head popping out of the sea was incredibly cute. We were able to see many fish and corals.

The crew on the boat shared various stories with us. They answered our questions politely. I think the cheerful captain and friendly crew really enhanced this activity.

Finally, we zoomed back from Niihau Island to Kauai Island, bouncing quite a bit along the way. The splashes were intense, so it might be a good idea to have a windbreaker. Sitting on the edge, I got splashed so much that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. At first, it was fun, but after an hour, it became a bit troublesome!

For those who want adventure and to feel the great outdoors, definitely give this a try!!! I truly experienced the deep blue sea and felt like I was in a hidden paradise.

Holo Holo Super Kauai Snorkel Tour - Niihau & Na Pali Coast Adventure with Breakfast, Lunch & Drinks

Very Nice Day on the Water

Reviewed by: amythann

We love boat rides and this was a great sightseeing and snorkel tour. The boat was comfortable and had good indoor and outside seating. Also two heads which was a nice feature. This is the only boat that crosses the channel from Kauai over to Niihau and the little island of Lehua which is where we snorkeled. They provided fins (we brought our own mask and snorkel) and "noodles" which I appreciated since I am a bit fearful of snorkeling. Also a great spread of cold cuts, with all the trimmings and lots of vegetables, and dessert for lunch. They are very safety-conscious, but I wish there was a better way to impress upon people that the crossing is rough and they should always hold on or sit down, because the constant lecturing got a bit tedious. I definitely recommend doing this trip, though.

This was my first time on Kauai Island. The weather was great, and I got to see the Na Pali Coast, just like in Jurassic Park. It was even better than I had heard.

There were three staff members, including a female captain, and they were all very kind and helpful. The meeting point is quite far, and there’s no shuttle service from Lihue or Poipu, so it’s tough without a rental car.

I want to go again!

Thank you for your appropriate response during bad weather. 悪天候時の適切な対応を感謝

Reviewed by: 匿名希望

Unfortunately, our trip was canceled due to bad weather, but I wanted to share my experience for future reference. When I called the tour company at 6 PM the evening before our reservation to confirm the boat departure for the next morning, everything was still on schedule. So, we arrived at the port at 6 AM, checked in, and waited around. Then, there was an incredible downpour and strong winds. About 30 minutes after the meeting time, the captain informed us that we would go to the Na Pali Coast, but we wouldn't be able to go near Niihau Island. He explained that those who were going that day would receive a 25% refund on the tour price, and we could either change our schedule or cancel. I felt that the explanation was quite considerate. We decided to change our schedule. The earliest we could reschedule was two days later, so we made the change for that date.

The evening before the new reservation date, I received a call on my registered mobile phone from the tour company, informing me that bad weather was expected again the next morning, and they would have to cancel the tour altogether. Since we didn't have any other available dates, we decided to cancel. They explained that the full amount would be refunded through Alan1, which I understood. The next day, I received an email from Alan1 confirming the full refund, and when I checked my credit card online two days later, the full amount had indeed been refunded. I was relieved by the prompt and appropriate response from both the tour company and Alan1.

Weather is beyond our control, so I hope to try again someday. However, I realized that it's essential to provide your mobile phone number and contact information when booking a tour that can be affected by weather in Hawaii. Additionally, if the tour company doesn't have Japanese-speaking staff, it might be a bit challenging if you don't understand much English. Also, for tours on Kauai, it might be better to book in spring or summer when there are generally more good weather days compared to winter. However, the rain in Kauai has its own charm and can be quite enjoyable.

実際は悪天候によりキャンセルとなり行けなかったのですが、今後の参考になると思い、体験談として書いておきます。予約日前日夕方6時に翌朝のボート出航の確認のため電話したときには予定通りだったので、翌朝6時、港に行き、チェックインを済ませたあとぶらぶら待っていた。そのあと、ものすごい土砂降りと風で、集合時刻30分後に、キャプテンから話があり、ナパリコーストには行くが、ニイハウ島近くには行けないので、今日行く人にはツアー代の25%を返却する、日程を変更することもできるし、キャンセルもできる、という説明でした。説明は良心的だなと感じました。私たちは日程を変更しました。一番早くて２日後ということだったので２日後に予約変更。再予約日の前日夕方、登録していた携帯電話にツアー会社から電話がかかってきて、翌朝も悪天候が予想されツアー自体をキャンセルするということだった。私たちはもうほかの日程の余裕がなかったのでキャンセルすることにしました。ツアー代は全額Alan1を通じて返却されるという説明もあり了解した。翌日にはAlan1から全額返却される旨のメールが届き、インターネットでクレジットカードのオンライン取引明細チェックをしたらその２日後にはツアー代全額が返却されていた。ツアー会社およびAlan1の迅速で適切な対応に安心しました。天候はどうしようもないのでいつかまたチャレンジしたいと思います。ただこのような天候に左右されるツアーのときはハワイでの携帯電話や連絡先を必ず届けておくことが大切だと感じました。また日本語ができるスタッフがいないツアー会社だと少し英語がわからないととまどうことがあるかもしれません。またカウアイ島のツアーだと冬よりも春や夏の方が天気が良い日が多いかもしれません。しかしカウアイの雨もなかなか味わいがあっていいものです。

Napali Cruise ナパリクルーズ

Reviewed by: ころころ

On November 21, I went to Holoholo Charters. My family participated, and the weather was great, making it a very pleasant experience.

We were the only four Japanese people on board. I was worried about seasickness, so I took some motion sickness medication beforehand, but I had no worries that day at all. It seemed like no one was feeling seasick.

We started with snorkeling right away. There weren't many fish, but it was decent enough.

After that, we ordered some beers, which were delicious. Then we headed towards Napali, and on the way, we spotted a sea turtle. The staff pointed it out to us. Eventually, we encountered a pod of dolphins. They came quite close for a while, and we were able to watch them for a good amount of time. There seemed to be quite a few of them, and they were adorable.

After that, we headed towards Napali and saw filming locations for Jurassic Park, King Kong, and Pirates. The views were absolutely stunning, and I truly felt it was worth coming. The staff provided a lot of explanations, but since it was all in English, I didn't understand everything. My sister occasionally translated for me, but even without understanding, it was enjoyable. We got close to birds nesting on the cliffs and approached caves, which had many highlights and was quite impressive.

On the way back, we had lunch and returned to the port, but after eating, we suddenly felt very sleepy, and our family was the only one that fell into a deep sleep. I thought it was funny that we were the only ones sleeping while everyone else seemed so energetic. Some people were sitting outside the boat or lounging around, and it felt great with the wind blowing. The foreigners were getting sunburned from direct sunlight. Everyone seemed satisfied.

I think anyone visiting Kauai for the first time should definitely participate in this experience.

その後ついにイルカの群れにも出会う事ができました。暫くイルカに近づいてくれて結構ながく見れました。かなりの頭数がいた感じです。かわいかったです。

そのあと ナパリに向かってジュラシックパークやキングコングやパイレーツなどの撮影したところをみました。

帰りはランチがあってまた港に戻りますがご飯食べた後は急に眠くなり私達の家族だけ爆睡でした。
寝ているのは私達だけでみんな元気だなーって思いました。

Since it's not easy to get close to Niihau Island, this plan allows you to learn about its history through announcements during the tour. Of course, there’s plenty of time for snorkeling, and you can swim freely at beautiful coral spots. The tour includes floats, fins, and masks, so you can participate with just your swimsuit (a windbreaker and long-sleeved swimsuit are also recommended if you have them).

The boat is large, new, and comfortable, but it does speed up quite a bit on the way there and back, so it's wise to be cautious of seasickness. It can be quite bumpy (though it might have just been the sea conditions on the day we participated). Even if you think you won't get seasick, please bring seasickness medication just in case.

I recommend standing on the deck to enjoy the dynamic and beautiful scenery rather than staying inside the boat, so having a windbreaker is very helpful. Experienced couples and families (including those from overseas) were well-prepared with adventure gear. The buffet-style sandwiches served for lunch are delicious, even better than breakfast! It seems that many adults participated, as you can casually enjoy beer (after snorkeling).

ナ・パリコーストは絶対に海から、空から眺めるのが良いという感想。私たち夫婦はこのダイナミックな景色を間近に体感できるこのツアーをお勧めします。野生のイルカが船と一緒に泳ぎ、ホヌののんびりした姿を垣間見ることができ　ニイハウ島はなかなか近くまで行くことができないため　このプランだと歴史のアナウンスとともに知ることができます。もちろん、シュノーケルの時間もたっぷりあって美しいサンゴのスポットで自由に泳ぐことができます。このツアーには浮きやフィン、マスクなどがついてるので　水着と（あればウィンドブレーカーと長袖の水着がなお良い）身一つで参加できるので良いです。　　ただ、船は大型で新しいもので快適ですが　途中と帰り道はかなり飛ばすので　船酔いには気をつけたほうがいいです。相当揺れます。（私たちの参加した日の海の状況がそうだっただけかもしれませんが）船酔いしないよ！と思う方でもぜひ船酔い止めをご持参ください。
船のなかでなく、甲板に立ちダイナミックな美しい景色を鑑賞しながらの参加がおすすめなのでウィンドブレーカーがあるととてもいいですよ。
こなれたカップルやご家族（海外の方）さんたちはそういう冒険グッズの用意が周到でした。
朝ごはんよりランチに出るバイキング形式のサンドウィッチが美味しいですよ★ビールも気軽に（シュノーケルのあとですが）飲めるので大人の参加が多かったように思います。
