Looking for beach gear on your holiday? Boss Frogs has you covered!…read more We picked up snorkel gear. The staff was super happy to help and picked out accurate sizes on the first try. Anything you might need for the beach they will rent to you. They have clothes and sandals and other accessories as well. One of us grabbed a pair of sandals for $13 and another got a baseball type hat for only $15. You can return the gear to any Boss Frogs on the island. Super convenient. We rented from them on Maui with a similar great experience.

Kurt was very friendly and helped us get the right sized gear with no issues. We were only keeping the gear for a day, so we didn't bother with any add-ons.

We thought we would get small beach chairs. Nope, we got nice lounge chairs! The umbrella was a must as it will rain on and off. Also, it provides nice shade. We were close to restrooms, shops, and Duke's restaurant. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. We will book through them again.

Beach Boys catamaran sunset cruise…read more I arrived to the Nawiliwili Bay & Hulei'a River cruise boat slip to join the other passengers on a sunset cruise. This particular day, for whatever the reason, didn't have too many passengers. It made for a better cruise experience, in my opinion. After the normal safety briefing, we set off on the Kalapaki Kai II (smooth sailing gorgeous catamaran!) with the captain narrating the entire evening. While this was not a dinner cruise, we did enjoy a full service bar with light snacks during the evening. In my opinion, the cruise seemed uneventful and not very entertaining, but I am not necessarily interested in history, which is mainly what the captain spoke about during the cruise. He did a thorough job speaking about the Kauai scenery, fish ponds, mangrove trees, Haupu mountain range, Kalapaki Beach, the lighthouse, golf-course and Kauai's still-standing original hotel! We even watched numerous people surfing in the Nawiliwili Bay.... Can't say I'll see that anywhere else except Hawaii! The sunset was not anything to speak of the night of my cruise... but that is clearly out of our control! While I had a ho-hum evening... I will still highly recommend this sunset cruise! It was an incredibly smooth sail.... Short & sweet -- started at 5:30p and ended just as the sun set!

While in Po'ipu, Eileen and I enjoyed the amazing experience offered by Snuba Tours of Kauai. Our…read moreinitial nervousness was instantly put to rest by certified diver Doug, whose knowledgeable overview of the Snuba equipment and friendly demeanor made the preliminary instruction session a breeze to complete. His business partner Josh was also patient and helpful, pointing out the abundant sea life and keeping us close to the group. At one point two green sea turtles swam along with us within touching distance (we didn't), my favorite moment out of many. We marveled at the plentiful species of colorful tropical fish, who darted around us as we explored their world. Unless you are already a certified diver, Snuba is an experience that you don't want to miss!

If you have never scuba dived before but are an experienced snorkeler, it's definitely doable but you'll need to get used to the breathing in and out and using the scuba tank before you can thoroughly enjoy the experience. It took me a few extra to get acclimated to the breathing part. If you're not sure at first, it's okay. Our tour guide, Doug and his team were really patient and walked us through it. Once we got acclimated to it, we spent about 25 to 30 minutes touring and they pointed out fish and certain things to see. We got to see some honu and Doug even took pictures/videos for us with our own underwater camera. They provide all the equipment including water shoes and fins. They even have some corrective masks if you're near sighted which helped.

Their prices were better also and they give you a ton of tips and tricks. They gave us a map and told us how to get to the rock jump after the waterfall. We noticed none of the guided tours were going that way so if we hadn't gone to Scotty's we never would have had the amazing opportunity to jump off a rock jump as a family. They also have an after hours drop off which meant we weren't on a time constraint which was great since we have kids who get tired kayaking. I wish I could give them 6 stars instead of 5 because the service was so top notch and we had not had that good of service anywhere else on Kaua'i!

Ironically, we got here early around 9:30-10am, staked out a good spot a solid several yards away from a turtle sunning himself on the beach - and then 15+ turtles joined him over the next 3-4 hours (clearly the pandemic and social distancing is also a thing of the past for the turtles). Ironically, because of this (I'm presuming), the beach quickly became hectic and crowded with dozens of tourists coming over to take pictures and forming a seemingly solid wall of butts of all shapes, sizes, and coverage now between us and the ocean. Lots of butts right in front of us. Meanwhile the well-meaning conservation folks "protecting" the turtles (the turtles, who seemed like they couldn't care less about people) were SHRIEKING at kids and adults who absent-mindedly stepped between the Cone Guardians and the turtles. Got a special treat of a huge monk seal floating by and peaking at all the daytime soap drama too; that was fun. Snorkeling here is meh if you find a zigzag line to get through the turtle brigade to the water without being tasered by the Turtle Keepers (jk, sorta). I'm all for experiencing nature but honestly this beach is too much for me. Peek at the turtles for the turtle experience, but don't come here for the beach itself.
