Super Snorkel – Napali Tour + “Forbidden Island” of Niihau
What your day looks like
An unmissable boat trip, unlike any other in Hawaii! We start the day off with a continental breakfast before journeying northwest to the Napali Coast, a site filled with plenty of stunning natural landscapes such as underwater caves, waterfalls, and lush valleys. Following our visit to the Napali Coast, our next destination is the "Forbidden Island" of Niihau. This is where you will get the chance to snorkel, guided by the crew, or you can simply sit back, relax, and enjoy watching the comings and goings of the aquatic world. The longest of all Hawaiian islands, Niihau offers spectacular views because of its unique coastline which has been molded over the centuries by the ocean currents. After snorkeling, gourmet deli-style buffet lunch with a large variety of choices ranging from fresh veggies and deli meats to pasta salad and fruits will be prepared. There will be assorted soft drinks available during the tour with beer and wine being served after snorkeling. During lunch, you will get the chance learn more about Niihau's rich history and culture from our crew.

What travelers are saying
Such an awesome day! Crew was great. They found lots of whales and dolphins for us to enjoy. Really, really wonderful snorkel trip!!
Great time! Food was good, crew was amazing, water very choppy for snorkeling, but still enjoyed it.
This was a rough, long ride on a cataraman. Very difficult to hear over the engine noise anything the captain is saying from inside the cabin, which I felt was the safest place to be. Also, it feels like he has said the commentary so many times that his speed rate of speech not really understandable. Really not much to look at along the shoreline until you get to the NaPali Coast, which is over the top spectacular landscape. Husband enjoyed the snorkeling near Niihue, however the ride across the channel back to Port Allen was brutal.
Very seaworthy boat and great crew. Some of the best snorkeling I’ve ever done in Hawaii.
