Nā Pali Raft Snorkel Tour
When conditions allow, the raft will choose to snorkel at Nu`alolo Kai, one of the best reefs on Kauaʻi, inaccessible from the land. You can only reach this area by small vessels (conditions permitting) and passengers can swim and snorkel right from the boat. Dive in to snorkel over tropical reefs under the watchful eye of Kauai Sea Tours crew with all the gear and instructions provided. This adventure will include freshly made wraps (turkey or vegetarian options available), chips and fresh-baked cookies, bottled water, juices, and soft drinks.
This raft adventure will be taken on a rigid hull inflatable raft, 24 feet (same as the Navy Seals raft), 115 HP motors, coast guard inspected vessel with passenger/vessel safety equipment required and licensed captain and experienced CPR & water safety trained crew. On this whale watching discovery you will encounter these gentle giants in their beautiful habitat on the South Shore of Kauaʻi (Must be 7+ and older).
