Which water activity is right for me?

If you want to snorkel without a dive certificate, a boat tour is the usual way: the Na Pali Snorkel Tour with lunch (about €191), the Sail & Snorkel tour (about €244) or the Zodiac with its snorkel option (about €200). The SNUBA experience is labelled for beginners and families, at about €113.

Divers can choose between a shore dive at Koloa Landing in Poipu (about €146), a twilight or night shore dive (about €202) and the two boat dive trips (about €241 and €347). The sea scooter trips (about €107 in one listing, a self-guided one in Princeville at about €110) are for people who want to snorkel with less effort.

Surf lessons are listed at Kalapaki Beach with Kauai Beach Boys (about €92) and as a group lesson in Poipu (about €82). Few reviews mean little track record: read the booking page before you pay.

Good to know: The most-reviewed snorkel offers are the Na Pali boat tours (about €191 to €245). The dives have almost no reviews yet (between 0 and 6 each), and two say who they are for: the 2-tank boat dive is “for Experienced Divers”, the 3-tank boat dive “for Certified Divers”. Surf lessons start at about €82.
