Start your day with a morning adventure! We kayak along the coast as we head to the sea caves. Hawaiian spinner dolphins (Nai’a) are most commonly seen in the early morning, so look out for these amazing creatures.
We stop for snorkeling at one of our favorite spots that are rich with coral and over 50 kinds of colorful fish. Other critters that we sometimes encounter are manta rays, hawksbill and green turtles, and humpback whales. Conditions permitting, this tour offers sea caves, blowholes, The Elevator, The Rings, and more.

Miles was a great guide on our kayaking and snorkel tour we had a great time even though the water was a bit choppy. We highly recommend.

Unimpressed with the “tour”. It was open ocean and didn’t see much of anything. It was advertised as a private cove with snorkeling. The snorkeling was not in a cove and just off the shore with dangerous rocks where the tide was harsh. Got sea sick as well and the guide was gonna let us go back to the dock a mile away by ourselves. Luckily they didn’t, but that was their original plan.
