Best activity in Kauai! - This was probably my favorite activity I did during my entire trip in Hawaii and that even includes comparing it to skydiving! I got lucky and managed to see and swim near a few turtles and even saw some large eels! Aidden was great. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. My only warning is that it can require a lot of strength and stamina in your dominant arm because the spear is essentially a slingshot so holding it under tension one-armed while waiting for the fish to get in the line of fire will wear you out.

Spearfishing - An experience worth trying! One of the funniest things I’ve ever done now I plan on making a hobby out of. It’s a whole another world down there..

Amazing experience - My husband and his friend went together and they said they had a great time. Their instructor Aidden was knowledgeable, kind and helpful. They stayed out an extra hour so dont get worried if you don’t hear from them. There’s also no service on the beach. They were both able to catch fish but could only keep 2 of the ones that passed certain requirements. The only thing my husband said he would do differently was bring anti fog for his googles because they would fog up so quickly, he has a beard so that could be why. Overall, it was a great experience and they loved it!

A great way to try spearfishing. - Pretty much as advertised. Easy place to find on Anini beach. Pretty quick lesson but covered all the needed info. Pretty long swim out but easy and no rush. Had a murky day so hard to see but you can work along the edge of the reef and it looks like it could drop to 60'. Not many large fish my day. Did see a lot of turtles which is always enjoyable. Small group of 6 people so easy to spread out and about half the group got a fish. Instructor tows a float to put your fish in if you are lucky. Problem with that is if you get a fish you have to get to the float to drop it in before you can get another one. That of course means sticking with the crowd which means a lot of thrashing around you. Cost is a bit high but looks to be the least expensive around. You do need to get your own license but easily done on line for $20

Great for newbies! - This was such a cool experience! Aidden was our instructor and he was relaxed, knowledgeable, and helpful. After the briefing and swim out we were right in the fish and getting opportunities to spear. The reef would have been an amazing snorkel alone, but adding the challenge of spearfishing made it unforgettable. Everybody in our group had success, and there were fish everywhere. We will absolutely be returning!

Don't be afraid to give it a go! - Fantastic experience! "Snorkeling with a purpose" as our guide put it! If you can snorkel you can spear fish in this very beginner friendly spearfishing course! One of the most authentic excursions I've done.
