Overview

Fastest crossing and closest harbor to Ni'ihau! Your crew will be Nick and Jessie. We are experienced captains and snorkel guides.Visibility is usually 100’s of feet, and you are likely to have close encounters with Hawaiian Monk Seals! Sharks, bait balls being hunted by predatory fish, manta rays, and walls of butterfly fish are common.
We will also tour Lehua Crater, an extinct tuff cone volcano and now a seabird sanctuary that is home to at least 16 different species of seabirds.
In between snorkel sessions we serve lunch and do a tour of Lehua Crater, pointing out all our favorite seabirds and showing off the beautiful “Keyhole”. We usually look for dolphins, whales (december-april) and manta rays as we do a mini tour around the Lehua crater.

    Activity name

    Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
