A one day guided south shore exploration by sea kayak.
During the winter when high surf conditions prevail on the north shores, this gently rolling coast becomes a favorite for sea kayakers. You'll paddle the same canoe paths of old taken by early Polynesians and whaling captains.
We will begin the day's journey on the Golden coast of Kaua'i at Po'ipu and paddle west along the rugged and scenic shoreline that is home to the Spouting Horn, the remote Lawai Valley, the unusual Nomilo Pond, and the cove of Wahi'awa.
Winter is the season for Humpback Whales and often the highlight of the voyage. After their long journey from Alaska each year, these gentle giants delight themselves in the warm Hawaiian waters for a season of frolicking.
Delight yourself likewise, as these whales breach before you or more likely spot spinning dolphins, flying fish, and sea turtles. With luck we sometimes see the endangered Monk Seal. in the water or a sunny beach. Bird watch for Boobies, Frigate, and Tropic birds from your cockpit.
Get wet and snorkel off one of Kauai's finest shores, where the sea and bird life compliments a day of splendid paddling. At day's end we will have you back to your hotel or Kapa'a by late afternoon.
