When we arrive to a new city, country or island I usually sit down, do some research and make a huge list of what sounds like “The Best” things to do in the area. If we end up doing 50% of the things I end up feeling pretty accomplished. As I have mentioned before, Tom and I are not the most “go-getter” of travelers and with all the time we need to spend working and lazing in hammocks with books or iPads in our hands we always end up having less “sight-seeing” time than we think we will. <\/p>\n

I typically write about the things we do, and explain how we did them, just in case you want to do them too. This time, I thought I would try something a little different and give you my entire “Best of Kauai” list, including the things we didn’t get to, just in case you have a higher sight-seeing tolerance than we do. <\/p>\n

Best of Kauai Snorkeling<\/h3>\n

Tunnels Beach<\/strong> I had read that Tunnels has great snorkeling, but that it can only be done outside of the winter months. In the winter the surf gets really big on on the north shore of the island, and since we were there in early January we weren’t able to snorkel. <\/p>\n

Ke\u2019e Beach<\/strong> is also on the north shore, and so though we had a lovely swim there after our long Kalalau trail hike we did not snorkel.<\/p>\n

Anini Beach Park<\/strong> is also on the north shore, but is incredibly protected and was the only snorkeling we did on the island other than our boat tour. The water was very calm and clear, making the snorkeling very easy if not spectacular. I did see quite a few turtles here and some other life, but there was not a lot of coral or very many bright colors. It is a perfect beginners snorkeling spot since it is so calm, and I have heard of people seeing sea horses here. I combed the sea grass hoping to spot one, but was not that lucky. <\/p>\n
