    About Kauai Sea Rider Snorkel & Whale Watching Tours
    At team Sea Riders we pride ourselves in what makes us different from other companies. Kauai Sea Riders has been providing specialized small group Zodiac Eco Tours on Kauai since 2005. As a Marine Biologist, I have always focused on providing Eco Tours to our guests – focusing on education while at the same time having a great time. All of our staff are professionally trained and share the same passion and reverence for this amazing ocean environment we get to play in everyday! We choose snorkel locations that aren’t over crowded or common, and you will have a Divemaster guiding your snorkel adventure ensuring you have an exceptional snorkeling experience. At the end of the day, our goal is to have our customers feel that they have been expertly cared for, had an experience of a lifetime, and have learned something new about the ocean and its incredible inhabitants.

    A fantastic experience!

    The Napali Coast is one of a kind and seeing it in a Zodiac gets you the stunning views and the ability to go into the caves which not all sea vessels are able to do. Captain Tara's deep reverence for the ocean is contagious....More
