North Shore Coastal Wildlife Hike

Hiking this pristine stretch of undeveloped coastline will give you a sense of what ancient Kauaʻi might have felt like, long before tourists left their footprints in the sand. It is in this natural setting that we will have a good chance of seeing the endangered Hawaiian monk seal.

We may also see honu (green sea turtles) basking in the sand and migratory seabirds, such as mōlī (Laysan albatross), ʻiwa (great frigatebird), and red-footed boobies soaring overhead.

Our hike hugs the wild coast, taking us over beaches and rocky shorelines for about two miles before reaching a rocky promontory with epic views in both directions. As you study this unspoiled terrain for shells, you’ll also have the opportunity to pick up “marine debris,” washed up from far-flung parts of the world (trash bags provided).

Snorkeling Adventure Add-On:

Linger in this serene setting while some or all of your group go snorkeling. This option adds approximately 2 hours to your tour duration, including time in the water, driving, and getting set up.

If you choose this option, please pack a lunch.

For an additional fee, your guide can coordinate snorkel gear pickup and drop-off for you. Please note that fit cannot be guaranteed if you are not present to try on gear, though we will do our best based on your sizes. You are also welcome to bring your own gear if preferred.
