Kauai offers the oldest and most protected reef ecosystems of all the major Hawaiian Islands. Hundreds of species of fish can be found in these delicate "rain forests of the sea," one-third of which are found nowhere else in the world. Weather permitting, our Captains will take you down Na Pali Coast which offers some of the best snorkeling on the island and is accessible only by boat. Schools of vibrantly colored tropical fish mingle with the ancient Honu (Hawaiian green sea turtle) that graze on the limu (algae) growing on the coral reefs of these waters.
All Capt Andy's Kauai Snorkel Tours Include
- Expert snorkel instructions for all levels including beginners.
- Trained crew of professionals certified in CPR.
- High quality, well maintained, snorkel gear.
- Lunch and drinks
Beginning Snorkelers
Are you a 1st time snorkeler? Capt. Andy's is famous for our friendly and safe instructions. Snorkeling is not complicated. We'll have you exploring Kauai's tropical reefs in no time.
For those less confident swimmers, we provide snorkel vests which assist with floatation.
Snorkel Gear
Capt Andy's carries only the finest and most comfortable snorkel gear for your underwater adventures.
- Soft silicone masks (corrective lenses too!)
- "Dry" easy purge snorkels.
- Comfortable fins in all sizes.
- Snorkel vests - for buoyancy.
- Non-fog spray
Kauai Snorkel Tips
Always use property fitting snorkel gear.
Proper fitting gear is one of the most important factors for an enjoyable snorkeling experience. One leaky mask or sore feet from tight fins can be frustrating. Our knowledgeable crew is here to help. We will fit you with proper size gear to ensure comfort and safety.
Use a Mask with Corrective Lenses
What good is snorkeling if you can't see the fish? Our soft silicone masks with corrective lenses are a perfect fit for people who wear glasses.
Safety First
If you are snorkeling without a tour, always check current ocean conditions before going out. Be informed of these important ocean safety tips:
- When in doubt, don’t go out.
- Always snorkel with a buddy.
- Use a point of reference on shore and check periodically to make sure you have not drifted too far.
- For beginners, going with an experienced snorkerler is recommended.
Who Can Snorkel?
Just about anyone can snorkel, as technique is more important than your fitness level. The fundamentals are easy to learn. Basic swimming skills are required, but snorkel vests can be used to assist in floatation. Depending on how adventurous you are, different levels of physical ability are required. If you have any doubts, consult your physician regarding any conditions that might be limiting for this activity.
What Do I Need To Bring?
Are there safety concerns.
If you are snorkeling with Capt. Andy's our Captains will ensure you snorkel in safe conditions, and trained professionals certified in CPR are onboard our boats.
Best Places to Snorkel on Kauai
Kauai is an excellent destination for snorkeling, with many beautiful beaches and reefs to explore. Here are some of the best places to snorkel on Kauai:

- Poipu Beach : Located on the South Shore, Poipu Beach is another popular spot for snorkeling on Kauai. Easy parking and access with excellent visibility.
- Na Pali Coast : Napali offers some of the most pristine snorkeling conditions in Hawaii. While a boat is required to reach Napali's reefs, an adventure down the rugged coast is an adventure of a lifetime.

Check out what our adventurers say about us! ★★★★★
Captain Brandon and Michaela are so fun, genuine and friendly! They assured we had a fast-paced, fun-filled and informative adventure…thank you! And Cpt. Brandon’s play list was perfect for the ride! Great music to match a great ride. Sadly, we could not enter and explore the cave (due to high surf), but we still enjoyed a great day with them. I’d recommend this tour and Na Pali Riders 100%!
Amazing day!!! High seas closed part of Nā Pali coast at the last minute but these guys got up early and scouted out an alternate and probably even more amazing trip for us. I cannot say it strongly enough that they saved our day and we’ll never forget the adventure. Their good nature with us and all of our kids made us all instantly comfortable. We felt like old friends getting together the see a once in a lifetime event. Giant glassy waves, dolphins, a seal and a turtle, I’d give them 20 stars out of five if I could.
Our best excursion yet! Capt. Brandon and Sawyer did a wonderful job keeping us safe and entertained. It was reassuring to know Brandon was In the coast guard and Sawyer constantly checking in on every person on the boat! Very informative history of the Napali coast as well. Can’t say enough about this company, worth every penny!
Captain Brandon and macayla were awesome!! Super knowledgeable and just a pleasure to be around. Macayla goes out of her way to check in frequently with every passenger! Will be recommending to everyone I know
Looking for a Great & Exciting time? This trip was awesome super friendly staff! Made the trip very fun. Fresh fruit, chips, water, soda, gatorade was all offered made for a great snack after our swim. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting the island.

"First: Since the have a small nice boat it is good space. We were a couple and it was 3 others in the boat. Many other companies have a crowded boats (50 plus people). After a short drive we got to see a bunch of dolphins. Great experience!! Drive up the coast with nice stories and scenery was perfect. Only to stop and swim with some turtles. A perfect day!"
"This was absolutely the highlight of our time in Hawaii! If you are on the fence about doing a boat tour, then stop looking now and book with Na Pali Experience. Captain Jon was fantastic, knowledgeable and a wonderful guide throughout the tour. We did the afternoon tour and lucked into amazing weather that allowed us to visit all the sea caves. Snorkeling with sea turtles, incredible views, and coming back with the sunset light hitting the mountains... nothing comes close! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!"
"My Na Pali Pirates experience was amazing! Fun, fast raft rides on exciting water? Check! Epic views of the Na Pali coast? Check! Sea caves? Check! Snorkeling with sea turtles? Check! But most importantly, Jake and Jacob were incredible incredible guides! Fun and knowledgeable with the perfect amount of dad jokes and great tunes! This is seriously a MUST DO, and I will continue to do this raft tour any time I am back in Kauai! Stop looking at other boat tours of the Na Pali coast and book this one! It's fun and exciting and you will be supporting a LOCAL SMALL BUSINESS! Thank you to "The Jakes" for an epic time!
"The 35’ Deluxe Catamaran “Cadillac of the Caves” was AMAZING! Do not miss this when you’re in Kauai. Brian and Capt. Nate were fun, kind, knowledgeable, patient…all the things. They personally made sure every single person was comfortable and having fun the whole time. They shared tons of knowledge about Kauai and the Napali coast, played music, made us laugh, and were obviously capable and at ease on the ocean. The deluxe catamaran was big enough to be comfortable, but small enough to fit in caves and be an exciting ride. My husband and 7 year old sat in bench seats in the middle of the boat, while my 10 year old and I rode up front for a more exciting ride. We stopped to snorkel and they provided good equipment. They also put out snacks and drinks while we were in the water. They made sure everyone had enough time in the water and didn’t feel rushed back. Our family all took Dramamine the night before and again about an hour before we got on the boat, and we all felt fine the whole time. Do take similar precautions if you’re at all worried about sea sickness. I cannot recommend this company and experience highly enough. It was one of my favorite days ever! It was the experience of a lifetime to take in the gorgeous scenery in such a fun and exciting way. The experience and memories are worth the price. Book it!
"A beautiful small boat tour for 6 cruising the Na Pali coast. The boat is small enough to go into the caves. JD was a great captain! He was very friendly, knowledgeable and experienced which was very reassuring when it came to the big waves since it was a very windy day."

17 Miles of Breath-Taking Beauty
Kauai’s stunning napali coast.
The Na Pali Coast is one of the most recognizable and beautiful coastlines in the world. “The cliffs” up to 4,000 feet high, provide a rugged grandeur of deep, narrow valleys ending abruptly at the sea. Spanning 17 miles along Kauai’s North Shore, the Na Pali Coast is a sacred place defined by extraordinary beauty.
The rugged terrain appears much as it did centuries ago when Hawaiian settlements flourished in these deep, narrow valleys, existing only on the food they could grow and the fish they could catch. Extensive stone-walled terraces can still be found on the valley bottoms where Hawaiians once lived and cultivated taro.

Amazing NaPali Raft Tour!
” Not only did we get to see the jaw-dropping coastline of Napali, but we were also greeted by dolphins, sea turtles and so many fish! Captain J took us into the caves and through a huge waterfall. The boat is comfortable and fast! I would recommend this tour to everyone, and I am already planning my next trip out. “

” Captain J is personable, knowledgeable and has decades of experience and it shows. Of the several NaPali Coast tours I’ve done, this has been by far the best experience I’ve had! The boat is brand new, extremely comfortable, and very quick and maneuverable. We were able to get up close and personal with caves, waterfalls and secret beaches due to Captain J’s expertise. “

This boat is so smooth & fast!
” This was one of the first times I was able to thoroughly enjoy my time on the NaPali! This new boat is so smooth and fast and cuts through the water and glides over the waves and it even has a bathroom! I felt really safe and the crew was fun and professional. If you get seasick this is the boat to take. We saw dolphins and got in the waterfall and caves. Mahalo for a beautiful day! “

Spacious & Comfortable!
” We had an unforgettable day on the NaPali Coast with Captain J’s Kauai Offshore Adventures. The Voyager 1 is, by far, the nicest and newest deluxe raft vessel on Kauai. Spacious and comfortable with a bathroom, the fast boat cuts thru the waves like butter! Thank you for a fabulous day Captain J!. “

Epic NaPali Boat Ride!
” Our boat ride with Captain J was epic – smooth, fast and dry! We saw dolphins and turtles and the stop off for a swim and snorkeling was magical. The crew was “on it” and took care of our every need. My favorite part of the day was going into the caves and the waterfall. “

We loved every second!
” We toured the NaPali Coast on Captain J’s brand new, beautiful super raft. Captain J is very knowledgeable about the area and took us up close to see some amazing sea caves. We snorkeled at a little cove where we saw dolphins, turtles along with hundreds of fish. We loved every second of our tour and can’t wait to go again! “

![snorkel tours na pali coast logo](https://kauaiseatours.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4501/2020/11/icon.png?w=80&h=80)
The raft ride was exhilarating but surprisingly comfortable. It rained a bit but they were ready with rain jackets. It only added to the fun and quickly passed. We saw tons of spinner dolphins, went into a cave and did a fun turn-about, and snorkeled on our way back. Highly recommend.
I have hiked Napali for years, but this was the first time via water and it was amazing! A MUST SEE & DO for those wanting a more adventurous and remote experience. Great crew and captain- good vibes, history, stories & views. I'll be back to book another trip! Thanks for some valuable memories and experiences.
I’m a Custom-Adventure-Tour guide on Kauai. I specialize in only the best. Even though I live on Kauai, I still take a catamaran tour of Na Pali coast at least once a year. This company offers the best catamaran tour available! If you can, make sure to book a tour that has Captain Kauai at the helm, as he is the best of the best. Aloha!
My first time snorkeling and I had a blast! The crew was personable, professional, and even offered me prescription goggles. This was a solo activity for me and I met some very nice people. Everyone had a great time. I saw dolphins, a tortoise, and fish that I used to have in my fish tank some years back. I look forward to doing it again on my next trip!
Picturesque views of the coast, great information on the history of the area, and amazing wildlife!We saw too many whales to count, turtles and spinner dolphins. The crew provided a fun and safe experience for people of all ages. There were several people on the boat that had been on the same tour multiple times before.
This was probably my favorite of all the tours I did in Kauai (..and I did a lot!).Very fun and upbeat, but also relaxing. We saw so many whales and lots of spinner dolphins. The views are second to none. We couldn’t do the Na Pali Coast due to high winds and waves. So worth your time to do this tour!Shout out to the captain and crew...you guys ROCKED!
The tour and snorkeling were great, but what made this a memorable trip was the amazing crew! Their knowledge and service was impeccable and amongst the best I've seen (we make it a point to tour/snorkel everywhere we go around the world). Perfect balance of safety and experience. Thank you crew, I highly recommend Kauai Sea Tours!
We had an excellent time! Would recommend for sure when visiting Kauai. Captain Greg and our crew were amazing. We were re-routed the day of our trip due to high winds and not safely getting us to Napali, but they still made the trip memorable and fun! Scenery and wildlife were the best, would've been happy with just that.

Convenient Na Pali Departure Point
Leaving Hanalei Bay you reach the Na Pali in about 15 minutes. Along the way, you pass some premier windsurfing, kiteboarding, and local surf spots before arriving at the Na Pali Coast.
Other tours originating from Port Allen take hours of travel to get to and from the Na Pali while seeing only a fraction of the beauty that the Na Pali Coast has to offer. Our tours get you there fast so that you have time to leisurely experience the best of Na Pali Coast! To see what we mean take a look at the map.

Is It Better to Snorkel in the Morning or Afternoon in Na Pali Coast?
Published by down beach author on may 17, 2024.
The Na Pali Coast, Kauai’s emerald crown, boasts dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, and a vibrant underwater world. But for snorkelers, a crucial question arises: is morning or afternoon the prime time to explore this aquatic paradise? Both periods offer unique advantages, so the ideal time depends on your priorities.
Mornings: Calm Seas and Wildlife Encounters
Early risers are rewarded with the tranquility of the ocean. Gentle trade winds prevail in the mornings, making for a smoother boat ride and calmer waters. This translates to better visibility underwater, allowing you to appreciate the intricate details of the coral reefs and the vibrant fish that flit among them. The calm conditions also make it a prime time for wildlife encounters. Dolphins are frequently spotted playfully leaping alongside the boat during morning tours. You might even encounter majestic sea turtles gliding serenely through the crystal-clear waters. If you’re in Hanalei, don’t miss out on Na Pali Coast tours from Hanalei , offering breathtaking views and unforgettable experiences.
Bonus: Chasing Sunsets and Scenic Views
While not ideal for snorkeling due to decreasing light, some tours offer late afternoon or sunset departures. These capitalize on the breathtaking scenery. Witnessing the majestic Na Pali cliffs bathed in the golden hues of the setting sun is an unforgettable experience.
Afternoons: Warmer Water and Sunlit Reefs
As the day progresses, the water temperature rises, making it more comfortable for some snorkelers, especially those prone to feeling chilly. Afternoon sunlight also bathes the coral reefs in a warm glow, highlighting the vibrant colors of the coral and fish. Photographers will particularly appreciate the enhanced visibility of these underwater marvels.
Potential for Rougher Waters, But Increased Marine Activity
However, afternoons can bring slightly rougher seas due to increased trade winds. This might be less ideal for those prone to seasickness or those with young children. On the flip side, afternoon hours can attract a wider variety of marine life. As the day warms, larger fish and even sharks might become more active, offering a glimpse into the dynamic underwater ecosystem.
The Verdict: Tailoring the Experience to You
Ultimately, the best time to snorkel Na Pali Coast boils down to your preferences. Here’s a quick guide:
- For calm seas, wildlife encounters, and good visibility: Opt for a morning tour.
- For warmer water, sunlit reefs, and potentially diverse marine life: Consider an afternoon tour (be prepared for slightly rougher seas).
- For breathtaking scenery: Sunset tours offer a visual feast, but snorkeling conditions won’t be ideal.
Beyond Morning or Afternoon: Additional Considerations
Remember, other factors can influence your decision.
- Tour duration: Some tours focus solely on snorkeling, while others combine it with other activities like kayaking or exploring sea caves. Consider your preferences when choosing a tour time.
- Seasonality: Summer months offer the calmest seas, while winter can be windier, making mornings a safer bet.
Embrace the Magic, No Matter the Time
Regardless of your choice, snorkeling on the Na Pali Coast promises an unforgettable experience. Witnessing the underwater wonders and the dramatic coastline will leave you mesmerized. So, pack your swimsuit, choose the time that best suits you, and get ready to dive into the magic of Na Pali!
