SITTING IN YOUR BATHTUB

Tour Description

Paddle. Snorkel. Marvel.
A day of discovery from a unique perspective. This is truly an unexpected adventure. You'll paddle in to secret beaches hidden in Kauai’s rugged southern shoreline. Then snorkel and bodysurf at exclusive locations only accessible by boat. Feel the fine white sand between your toes as you realize the only footprints are your own. Keep watch for indigenous Hawaiian marine life like Green Sea Turtles, Spinner Dolphins, and of course Humpback Whales (seasonally from December through April). We'll be hoping to see incredible sights and amazing encounters that can only be experienced by kayak!

We use tandem, open-cockpit, or, sit-on-top type, self-bailing kayaks with foot pedal controlled rudders to facilitate safety and ease of operation. You'll be given a lightweight fiberglass paddle with a tether, life vest, and dry bag as well.

This tour is available Tuesday thru Saturday in the winter months from mid-September thru mid-May.

While this tour is best enjoyed by people who are physically fit and have some basic paddling experience, you may join us as a first time kayaker if you consider yourself to be athletically inclined and quick to learn new sports. Participants should enjoy a workout, and be up for an exciting challenge! No children under 12 or non-swimmers, please.

Warning: If you are prone to severe seasickness this trip is not for you. If you feel that you may get nauseous, but not severely so, we recommend motion sickness medicine such as Bonine, Dramamine, or Triptone (over the counter).
