Best Kauai Snorkeling

What are the best Kauai snorkeling beaches for beginners and families with kids?

Lydgate Beach Park and Poipu Beach are two of the best Kauai snorkeling beaches for beginners and families with kids, with all the basic amenities and shallow, clear and calm waters for snorkeling.

Ke’e Beach and Anini Beach are also great options, but limited to summers when the waters are more amenable to snorkeling. Ke’e Beach needs advance reservations and planning.

What are the best Kauai snorkeling beaches for seeing tropical fish?

While all the Kauai snorkeling beaches mentioned here offer hundreds of varieties of tropical fish to admire, Tunnels Beach and the outer reefs of Anini Beach and Poipu Beach provide a richer marine life viewing experience with opportunities to spot eels, rays, dolphins and octopuses.

Which Kauai snorkeling beaches are less crowded?

Hideaways Beach (summer only) and Salt Pond Beach Park (all year round) are two of the best secluded, less crowded, Kauai snorkeling beaches.

Hideaways Beach is more for the experienced snorkeler and requires a challenging hike down to the remote beach.

Salt Pond Beach Park is fine for all levels of snorkelers and families, and is off the beaten track. Weekdays are best, since this beach is popular with locals who frequent it on weekends.

What will I see while snorkeling in Kauai?

Kauai’s underwater marine life is simply amazing, ranging from varieties of corals, invertebrates and colorful tropical fish to larger marine life like reef sharks, dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles, octopuses, eels and rays.

Common beautiful tropical fish you will see include colorful tangs, triggerfish, butterflyfish, parrotfish, goatfish, wrasse, surgeonfish, and more.

Rare or endemic fish species include bandit angelfish, Hawaiian hogfish, and Achilles tang.

In winter, you may even spot migrating humpback whales in most of these locations. Spinner dolphins breaching the surface are also fairly common.

Check out our detailed Hawaii fish snorkeling guide to be able to spot and recognize these wonderful kinds of fish!

Best Kauai Snorkeling Tours for the Na Pali Coast

Want an unforgettable Kauai adventure? And short on time?

Combine two of the best things to do in Kauai: snorkel Kauai’s coral reefs while taking in amazing views of the stunning Na Pali coast!

Kauai’s rugged Na Pali coast with secluded beaches, emerald-green lush valleys and steep cliffs is accessible only by boat (except for an epic hike along the famed Kalalau Trail), and you have a bunch of tour options.

For a thrilling, adventurous alternative, consider zodiac raft tours that can take you to hidden sea caves, coastal waterfalls and remote beaches. You need be physically fit and ready for a rough, exciting ride.

On our first trip to Kauai, we took this raft adventure tour, Na Pali 1/2 Day Snorkel, and had a great experience. The raft was nimble and maneuverable, zigzagging along the stunning coast to sea caves and waterfalls.

We stopped to snorkel at Nu’alolo Kai, with coral reefs to die for!

If you’re seeking a luxury option, then you can’t go wrong with a deluxe catamaran or sailboat tour, and they typically offer free drinks and meals.

We opted for this Na Pali Coast Kauai Snorkel and Sail tour when we had a friend along with a queasy stomach, who definitely didn’t want to risk the motorized raft.

The sailboat turned out to be an excellent choice, with a friendly knowledgeable crew, sumptuous breakfast and lunch, and wine and beer after snorkeling.

Na Pali coast snorkeling was an experience of a lifetime!

Best Kauai Snorkeling Beaches on the North Shore

1. Ke’e Beach (Haena State Park)

Ke’e Beach is one of my favorite Kauai snorkeling beaches in summer, and definitely the prettiest beach!

Located in the Haena State Park, snorkeling at Ke’e Beach can easily be combined with other activities like hiking part of the Kalalau Trail along the stunning Na Pali coast line and visiting the restored taro fields, making it a full day family outing!

Ke’e Beach, one the best North Shore beaches in Kauai, is small, beautiful, surrounded by coconut palm trees, and with amazing views of the Na Pali cliffs.

Ke’e Beach also has an extensive coral reef, and the water is clear and warm in summer, making for ideal snorkeling conditions. The water is shallow and under water visibility is good.

Ke’e Beach is excellent for families with kids, with restrooms, showers and lifeguards.

Beginning snorkeler? You can start snorkeling in the lagoon protected by the reef.

Stronger swimmers and experienced snorkelers can head to the right side of the beach, with rocks jutting out from the shore – you can expect to see a lot more fish, coral and even a Hawaiian green sea turtle or two!

Winter is another story though, I wouldn’t recommend swimming or snorkeling at Ke’e Beach due to the typical high surf conditions.

Can you stay till late evening? You don’t want to miss the sunset on Ke’e Beach, typically one of the most colorful ones you’ll see on Kauai!

Since Ke’e Beach is in Haena State Park, home to the very popular Kalalau Trail, you will need to carefully plan your snorkeling trip, and make advance reservations.

Consult our detailed guide to visiting Haena State Park for planning.

Location: Haena State Park, North Shore of Kauai
Lifeguard: Yes
Beach Amenities: Restrooms, showers
Food Nearby: No shops or restaurants close by
Parking: Ke’e Beach Parking Lot, reservations needed, shuttle recommended

2. Tunnels Beach (Makua Beach)

Tunnels Beach (Makua Beach) is a hidden gem, one of the best snorkeling locations in Kauai.

Tunnels Beach, another pretty North Shore Kauai Beach on the Maniniholo Bay, is just 5 miles west of Hanalei on the Kuhio Highway.

While you’ll see colorful tropical fish in every location mentioned here, Tunnels Beach has a unique coral reef with lava tubes, tunnels, underwater caves and other formations, making it an exciting spot to explore.

Snorkelers of different abilities can snorkel here, though beginners should restrict themselves to the safer inner reef.

I like Tunnels Beach because it has many different zones and habitats, from shallow lagoons to deep drop-offs.

If you’re a stronger swimmer, head to the left side of the beach where there are some rocks marking the entrance to the reef. You’ll find all kinds of tropical fish here, including jacks, arc-eye hawkfish, and Hawaiian monk seals.

This beach is in a residential neighborhood, and has no facilities. Parking is also limited.

I recommend you park at the adjacent Haena Beach Park (not to be confused with Haena State Park), enjoy the amenities there, and then walk roughly half a mile northeast to Tunnels Beach.

Tunnels Beach is also a summer snorkeling destination like Ke’e Beach above, winter snorkeling is risky with dangerous surf conditions, rough waves, and strong currents.

Location: North Shore of Kauai, 5 miles west of Hanalei
Lifeguard: No
Beach Amenities: None
Food Nearby: Head to Hanalei for food options
Parking: Small lot, best option may be Haena Beach Park
Directions: Look for “Tunnels” signs around mile marker 8, access road off Kuhio Highway

3. Anini Beach

Anini Beach is renowned for the longest, widest coral reef along the Kauai coastline. And with that comes almost unlimited snorkeling spots!

The fringing reef provides a natural barrier from waves and currents. You can expect a safe, protected area for snorkeling in calm and clear waters, though the depth varies from shallow (near the beach) to deep (further from the beach).

Anini Beach is one of the best family-friendly snorkeling beaches on Kauai’s North Shore, and unlike Ke’e Beach, doesn’t need a lot of advance planning and reservations.

You have a whole bunch of facilities: restrooms, showers, picnic tables, pavilions, shady trees, and even campsites (you need permits for overnight camping).

But no lifeguards, so keep an eye on the kids!

Beginners and kids should stay within the inner reef, where you can see a variety of tropical fish and the occasional sea turtle.

Need a richer experience? If you are a strong swimmer and experienced snorkeler, you can venture to the outer reef where you may even see rays, eels, octopuses and reef sharks (the smaller kind!).

But watch out for channels where the currents may be strong and unpredictable.

As with the other North Shore beaches, snorkeling in winter is dangerous here.

Location: North Shore of Kauai, near Hanalei
Lifeguard: No
Beach Amenities: Restrooms, showers, picnic tables, pavilions, shade trees
Food Nearby: Head to Princeville or Kilauea for food options
Parking: Road parking
Directions: Anini Beach, Anini Road, Kilauea

4. Hideaways Beach (Pali Ke Kua Beach)

Hideaways Beach is precisely that, a beach tucked away and quite difficult to get to, one of the best Kauai snorkeling beaches for those seeking to get away from crowds.

Hideaways Beach, one of the best secluded Kauai snorkeling beaches

Hideaways Beach is more for the thrill seeker, the adventure tourist. You have to hike a steep trail (sometimes with the help of ropes), down the cliffs to the beach.

This is definitely a hard hike, especially when the trail is wet and slippery.

But the payoff is sweet for those who hike down: an almost picture-perfect, powdery golden sand beach, protected by a large reef, making the ocean waters great for snorkeling and swimming!

Snorkeling at Hideaways Beach is primarily for the experienced snorkeler and good swimmer. The water along the reef is a bit deep and rough.

Hideaways Beach has no facilities or lifeguards, and limited parking on Ka Haku Road near the trailhead.

I would strongly recommend against swimming or snorkeling on Hideaways Beach in winter (as with other Kauai North Shore beaches), when you typically have high surf conditions.

Location: North Shore of Kauai, Princeville
Lifeguard: No
Beach Amenities: None
Food Nearby: Princeville has great food options
Parking: At the trailhead, small parking lot or 1 Hotel paid parking

5. Lydgate Beach Park

Visiting Kauai in winter and looking to snorkel? You probably know by now that Kauai North Shore beaches are to be avoided, due to the rough waves and high surf conditions.

Luckily, Lydgate Beach Park is one of the few year-round snorkeling destinations along the East Side of Kauai, and one of the best family-friendly Kauai snorkeling beach spots!

Lydgate Beach is one the best swimming beaches in Kauai, with the large ocean waves and currents protected by a lava rock wall.

Our kids loved the small pool that was behind a man-made rock wall, probably one of the safest swimming and snorkeling locations on Kauai!

Depths can vary from 3 feet to 8 feet depending on the tides, so we used flotation devices for our younger kids. There are handy ladders on the rock wall to enter the water.

I was pleasantly surprised at how many different species of tropical fish had sneaked in through the barriers, when I went in snorkeling with the kids in the smaller pool.

While the marine life and tropical fish is not as extensive as in some of the other locations, you can still expect to see hundreds of fish species here, including schools of yellow and black tang.

Best of all, there were several reasonably priced food trucks near the entrance to the park, serving delicious Hawaiian, Thai, Indian and other cuisines!

Location: East Shore of Kauai, 6 miles south of Kapa’a (next to Wailua River)
Lifeguard: Yes
Beach Amenities: Restrooms, showers, picnic tables, huge playground, bike path
Food Nearby: Food trucks serving ethnic food, Coconut Marketplace nearby and many other options in Kapa’a

6. Poipu Beach

Visiting Poipu Beach, one of the more popular Kauai beaches, is one of the best things to do in Kauai!

Two beautiful crescent-shaped bays, with a shallow sandbar separating them, along with golden, finely powdered sand, and calm, clear and warm waters year-round make Poipu Beach one of the best beaches on Kauai!

You have a lifeguard, restrooms and showers, excellent beach facilities for families with kids. We used to take our kids to Poipu Beach all the time when we stayed in the nearby resort area, and they loved snorkeling here!

The bays are protected by a barrier reef, providing a safe snorkeling and swimming environment.

You can see hundreds of different kinds of colorful, tropical fish here, big and small!

We even saw a Hawaiian monk seal lazing in the sand, soaking in the sun! Keep your distance, though, they are endangered and protected.

The smaller bay is closer to the parking lot and playground, and being shallow, more suitable for kids and beginners.

The bigger bay is better for experienced snorkelers, and can be close to 12 feet deep in some areas (depending on the tide), with bigger fish and the occasional green sea turtle.

Food trucks serving poke bowls, tacos, burgers and curry are available nearby.

Location: South Shore of Kauai, Koloa

7. Salt Pond Beach Park

Salt Pond Beach Park, well away from nearby towns, is a remote, secluded beach along the southwestern shore of Kauai.

Watching the sunset here is one of the best things to do near Poipu!

Salt Pond Beach is one of my favorite Kauai south shore beaches for snorkeling, and I frequent this beach when I just want to relax and have a quiet day with the family.

One of the primary attractions here are the salt ponds, built by the natives to make salt for cooking and medicine.

But Salt Pond Beach is an excellent snorkeling location as well, with a beautiful sandy beach and crescent-shaped bays protected by an underwater fringing reef.

Salt Pond Beach is broken into three main pools: a big one in the middle, deeper and meant for good swimmers, a right one called the baby or keiki pond for smaller kids, and a left one, popular for snorkeling.

Salt Pond Beach is a very popular haunt with the locals, and you can expect to see a large variety of tropical fish in its three pools.

Snorkeling and Water Activities Gear Checklist

Though you can rent snorkeling gear or use the ones that come with tours, we invested in our own gear, mainly due to Covid-19 (why take the risk?).

Important Tips for Snorkeling in Kauai

You will need to rent snorkeling equipment from one of the bigger towns, most beaches won’t have rental stores nearby.

You will need a mask that fits well, a snorkel with a mouthpiece, and, optionally, feet fins, flotation devices and a wetsuit (or a rash guard).

You should restrict snorkeling on Kauai’s North Shore to summer, since during winter, the waves are rough, and you have high surf conditions. Check beach conditions here.

Best time of day to snorkel is usually mornings, when the water is calm and clear, and underwater visibility is high. Beaches tend to be less crowded in the morning as well!

Pick a location appropriate for your snorkeling ability. If you are a beginner, prefer beaches with lifeguards where you can ask them for the best spots to snorkel.

If you are planning a snorkeling boat tour, make reservations early, since Kauai is a popular destination!

Wear reef-safe sunscreen, and use a rash guard or wetsuit to protect your skin from sunburn.

Don’t forget towels and a change of dry clothes!

Take a waterproof camera to capture some of the amazing marine life you will see underwater.

Make sure you have lots of water and snacks, many of the beaches have no food store or restaurants close by.

Finally, make sure you are respectful of the reef and marine life! Don’t step on or break corals. Don’t touch, feed or harass the marine life.

Some of the species you may encounter like the Hawaiian green sea turtle and the Hawaiian monk seal are endangered and protected by laws requiring you to maintain a respectable distance!

Ocean Safety Tips

Hawaii’s beaches are beautiful, but ocean activities can be dangerous. Ocean conditions are dynamic and can change without warning.

Here are some tips to enjoy the ocean and beaches safely:

  • ALWAYS heed posted warning signs.
  • Check conditions just before you arrive at your chosen beach, and watch conditions at the beach for a bit before you decide to enter the water.
  • Swim at a lifeguarded beach and ask the lifeguard for advice before you enter the water.
  • Never turn your back on the ocean, whether you are standing at the shore or on a cliff above. If you see wet rocks or sand, it means the water has been here recently.
  • Know your limitations, especially if you are not an experienced swimmer. If in doubt, do not go out.
  • If you choose to enter the water, go with a partner or in a group.
  • Know that alcohol can impair judgment and motor skills in the water.
  • Keep children close and always keep your eyes on what they are doing in the water.
  • Watch for sharp coral or rocks or sea urchins.
  • Check advisories regarding water quality at various beaches here.
