Niihau Scenic Snorkel Tour | Kauai Island Divers

Free dive the crystal clear, secluded waters of Ni’ihau – The Forbidden Island!

Come aboard our 28 ft catamaran, custom-built with a deep V-hull for navigating the Hawaiian waters, for a private charter to Ni’ihau. We depart from a small boat harbor on Kauai’s west shore. This starting point is ideal, as it’s the port in closest proximity to Ni’ihau. Enjoy a 1 hour scenic cruise across the channel, where you will be on the lookout for dolphins, pilot whales, and false killer whales.

Once we arrive to Ni’ihau Island, we head over to our snorkel site at Lehua Crater, an extinct tuff cone volcano and seabird sanctuary that is home to 16 different species of seabirds. The snorkel site here at Lehua Crater is dubbed Fishbowls because the visibility from the surface ranges over 100 feet. While snorkeling in this marine sanctuary, you will be taken by the stunning topography of the ocean floor and have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to swim with endangered marine life. Sharks, monk seals, rays, and large fish are common sightings out here! It’s also a Hawaiian Monk Seal breeding ground, and you are likely to have up-close encounters with these amazing creatures.

After your snorkel session, enjoy a catered lunch and soft drinks on the boat. We then venture back across the channel to Kauai Island.

Reserving this magical sea tour is your ticket to exploring an ancient outer Hawaiian island and having up-close encounters with the endangered sea life that inhabits the area.
