Highlights
  • 4637 Amio Rd - Hop aboard a 25-foot inflatable Zodiac boat and explore the gentle waters along the southern coast of Kauai. Pass the famous Spouting Horn on your way to 2 different snorkeling spots with an abundance of marine life such as yellow tang and the Hawaiian green sea turtle.

Your guide shares some history of the island as you travel along the scenic coastline, past famous landmarks such as the Spouting Horn blowhole, which releases a huge spout of water during swells, and the former residence of Queen Emma of Hawaii near Allerton Bay.

Along the way, be sure to look out for the dolphins that mingle in the area, and get a photo as these playful creatures show off their jumps and spins.

When you’re ready, strap on your custom-fitted snorkeling gear and plunge into the sea. Just below the boat lay colorful reefs—home to a variety of fish such as yellow tang, butterfly fish, and Hawaii’s state fish the humuhumunukunukuapua’a. These shorelines are also home to the Hawaiian green sea turtle, so keep an eye out for these lazy swimmers.

Back on the boat, fuel up with some delicious snacks and beverages before your captain moves you to the second snorkeling spot for the day!

Must do - An amazing experience. The gear they provide is good quality and they give you snacks and drinks. I would recommend buying a phone case to take pics in the water. Boat ride is a bit tough but overall amazing

Good time - Fun, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, safe staff. Showed us some great sights in the area and provided insight to local history and legend. Adapted to current weather and ocean conditions to provide the safest fun experience possible. Weather and ocean not being in their control, there was some choppiness but they were super helpful in managing and adapting to the effects of said circumstances, helping guests with all issues presented while still providing a safe and fun experience.

Pit stop at gilligans island - Got lucky with a fairly calm late Nov day to enjoy the skillful captain and snorkeling guide. Took us off to see Gilligans island and on the way run with a school of dolphins!! Felt safe and had fun in these guys hands despite the wavy surf!

Great Team, Good Day Out - Izzy and Capt Rick were great. We got to see a ton of spinner dolphins and sea turtles. The snorkeling areas could have been a bit more interesting, but it was a fun boat to be on.

Not recommended. Short changed. Poor customer service. - Booked this adventure via viator website. It happens to be a middle person taking a cut out of an actual tour operator. Come to find, tour operator had their own rules on who they can board and cannot. My wife was declined boarding due to stricter rules and possible health risk. Captain cleared her for full refund but unfortunately office did not agree. There appears to be lack of clear policy guidelines. We still have not heard about their final decision on the refund. Also, we were suppose to get two spots for snorkeling but were cut short by just one spot. Tour was done before the scheduled time and no apologizes or partial refund. We would not recommend this operators.
