Ocean, Shoreline & Beaches - Snorkeling Tours

Overview

Embark on the most adventurous tour in Hawaii—a once-in-a-lifetime journey to the legendary Forbidden Island of Niihau.

🌅 Scenic Voyage
Start your morning with a fresh tropical breakfast—coffee, tea, juices, and sodas—while cruising along the dramatic NaPali Coast. Then, cross the 17-mile channel to the secluded island of Niihau, a place rarely seen by outsiders.

🤿 Swim the Forbidden Waters
Though landings on Niihau are not permitted, you’ll dive into crystal-clear waters with visibility up to 150 feet—perfect for snorkeling, floating, and swimming. Glide down the onboard waterslide, relax on a boogie board, or simply dip your toes from the swim step at the back of the boat.

🥗 Island-Style Lunch & Drinks
On the return to Port Allen, refuel with a hearty deli-style lunch and enjoy beer, wine, and the best Mai Tais off the coast of Kauai (21+).
