Get wet and snorkel off one of Kauai's finest shores, where the sea and bird life compliment a day of splendid paddling! Winter is the season for Humpback Whales and often the highlight of the voyage. After their long journey from Alaska each year, these gentle giants delight themselves in the warm Hawaiian waters for a season of birthing and frolicking. Delight yourself likewise, as these whales breach before you, or more likely, spot spinning dolphins, flying fish, and sea turtles. With luck we sometimes see the endangered Monk Seal in the water or on a sunny beach. Bird watch for Boobies, Frigate, and Tropic birds from your cockpit. In the summer, paddle beyond the verdant valley of Kalalau, past the arches of Honopu, and into the azure waters of a volcanic sea cave. Encounter dolphins, tropic birds and upon occasion, the elusive Monk seal. This will be a long, impressive day of warm coastal paddling and caving along the monumental Na Pali Coast with your island guide(s). Kayak the scenic Hanalei River and Bay Reef Lagoon accompanied by charming water-borne natural historians on our three hour guided tour. Highlights are views of Bali Hai (Makana Peak), and the sweeping "South Pacific" panorama. Snorkel for views of colorful reef fish, bird and turtle watch. Wade by a sandy beach. The more adventurous can paddle out in a surf kayak. For paddling speed, ease, comfort, and safety, we use solely "sit-on-top" two person plastic sea kayaks with foot controlled rudders, equipped with comfortable and ample back rests that offer good back support.
