Kauai is geologically one of
the oldest of all the Hawaiian Islands, located about 90
miles northwest from Honolulu, the state capita, on the
island of Oahu. Kauai was originally formed from lava flows
out of the Shield Volcano, which has been inactive for
centuries. Today, the rich volcanic soils form the base for
stunning greenery. The island coast is riddled with
beautiful beaches and clear turquoise waters full of
stunning marine creatures. The 5 best snorkeling spots in
Kauai are among the best in the world. The experience of
snorkeling Kauai is unique and well worth pursuing.
Snorkeling is one of the most entertaining activities that
can be enjoyed by people of almost all ages. Snorkeling
cannot be done just anywhere or at any time. You must choose
an appropriate place with appropriate techniques that are
used during snorkeling. This activity can be a superb
pastime but those who have time, money and know a lot about
snorkeling can adopt it.
Anini Beach County Park is 37 miles due north of Lihue
International Airport. The water is not at all deep with the
largest reef on the entire island. It may not a perfect
location for some snorkelers but is surely perfect for
beginners.
Poipu Beach Country Park is opposite to the Brennecke's
Restaurant on Poipu Road. This beach has a protected inlet,
which makes it suitable for snorkeling. The water of this
beach is clear with plenty of marine animals and plants.
Swimmers and snorkelers should be careful because of the
slippery rocks and strong currents.
Lydgate State Park is another safe place for the starters
for snorkelers especially for children who are desperate to
get in to the water. There are many BBQ pits, picnic tables
and showers, which makes it a perfect family spot. A pool
has been made by between two manmade rock walls, thus the
water in the pool remains calm. Do not cross these rock
walls, may be the water seems calm but the water conditions
may change and that is why the drowning rate is highest on
this island
Lumahai Beach State Park is on the northern shore of the
Kauai Island, 5 miles away from the Princeville. The water
is extremely dangerous for novice so it is better that
starters should stay away from the sea. This area is only
suitable for advanced snorkelers. From little precautions,
many lives all around the year can be saved.
Ke'e Beach Park is approachable by car and is one of the
crowded beaches on Kauai Island. People from all around the
world visit this beach in summers for snorkeling. A lagoon
is protected by the reefs, which make the area favorable for
the snorkelers. Moreover, it is the best place for
sunbathing, swimming, fishing and for many other
recreational activities.
