Went on the snorkling tour with no experience ever doing it. Tara and her crew were amazingly comforting and patient with us snorkling newbies. The crew was very knowledgable and seemed to truly love their job. I liked the fact that not only did we get to see some marine life up close, Tara also taught us a little about... More

We went on this rafting tour of the South Shore not exactly knowing what we were in for. Since we'd already seen naPali, and the surf was high on the coast, we chose this 3 hour excursion. We met at Poipu Kukuiula Harbor, which is kinda nice cos it's a bit closer to town than Port Allen. Capt Tara was... More

We took a zodiac out for a 2 hour whale watch tour and it was incredible. The spinner dolphins gave us quite a show coming along side the zodiac and spinning. This year there was an unusually high number of whales in the area calfing before going back to Alaska for the summer. Several mother and baby whales came up... More

We went for 2 seperate snorkel dives. They were teaming with colorful fish, sea turtles and we got to see a pod of dolphins swim by about 20 feet away.... More

I came along on a snorkel trip with captain Tara. She is a marine biologist, very knowledgeable, very attentive making sure everybody has a good time, helping those that have trouble with the snorkeling or with swimming. The trip is about 3,5 hours. We cruised up and down the coast a bit looking for dolphins then went snorkeling at two... More

Capt Tara took us out to snorkel on a Zodiac fixed-hull raft [about 14 people max]; it's a half-day trip out of a little harbor just east of Poipu [almost to Spouting Horn] and includes casual lunch before or after snorkeling. As a marine biologist, she loves to teach about sea life as well as take people out to good... More
