This tour is 8 miles long, in what typically become somewhat rough seas by late morning. This segment of the coastline holds some of Kauai's most secluded bays and beaches, and we'll make surf landings on three different seldom-seen beaches during our day together!

After launching from Kukui'ula Small Boat Harbor we pass the famous Spouting Horn, a remarkable salt-water blowhole. After about 45 minutes, we'll surf our kayaks up on the beach at Lawa'i Kai, the exquisitely beautiful site of Queen Emma's Summer Home. As we have gotten an early start and you may be ready for a pick-me-up, your guide will bust out a jug of hot coffee and bag of muffins for you to enjoy as you stroll the beach in the golden morning light.

We continue downwind, passed the white sand beaches, barrier reefs, and volcanic craters of Palama's Point. As we paddle downwind, we'll be hoping to see interesting marine life, such as spinner dolphin and honu, or sea turtles, both common in this area. During the months of November through April, we run the chance of getting a glimpse of migratory humpback whales.

After 7 miles of paddling, we're ready for lunch. For that, we land at a special place to relax,eat, and play: a big protected bay known as Wahi'awa, where you can comb the ¼ mile crescent-shaped sandy paradise, play in the water, and snorkel the fringes of the bay. Meanwhile, your guide will lay out a tasty picnic lunch with a scrumptious brownie that may inspire a nap, which is fully endorsed.

Around mid-afternoon after another brief paddle, our driver will arrive to whisk us away on our return to the Poipu resort area.
