What To Expect
Our Kauai Guided Shore Snorkel takes you on a 2 hour (from start to finish including check-in) guided snorkel with a certified dive instructor from the shore. There is NO Boat involved with this tour. Actual snorkel time is roughly 45 min-60 min. This adventure will have you snorkeling Kauai’s pristine south shore reefs and have you learning about our tropical fish, sea urchins and sea mammals. We are often greeted by a turtle nesting on the beach or a Hawaiian monk seal basking in the sun. What a wonderful experience from a distance, it is the law to keep within 50 feet of our endangered species. Learn more about our Hawaii ecosystem and identify an array of tropical fish. Beginners Welcome. Upon making your reservation here with Viator, Kauai Z Tours (The actual tour provider) will reach out asking for additional information to finalize confirmation. **WE CANNOT PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION, PLEASE MAKE ARRANGEMENTS PRIOR TO GETTING TO ISLAND**

5.00My newlywed wife and I went on this snorkeling tour during our honeymoon and I’d book it again in a heart beat. Our guide was so kind, patient, and knowledgeable with us. My wife had never snorkeled and is only ok in the water and this was the perfect intro session. Never once did she feel uncomfortable we save so many beautiful fish.
Best experience hands down.

5.00Booked this tour for the possibility of seeing some sea turtles, and the ocean did not disappoint on this day. We see three of them, big ones, two of them swimming right in front of us! Keoni was so kind, so knowledgeable, and took great care to make sure everyone was safe and having a good time. He even gave me some pointers on other things to do around the island from a locals perspective, which I greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for the lovely afternoon! I don’t see any other future snorkeling topping what I saw on this tour, on or off island.
