But there are a couple of spots you should know about before you head on your trip and the following spots are considered the best of the best:
Anini Beach offers a shallow area to snorkel that allows beginners and young people to have the time of heir lives. If you go a bit farther from shore, deeper reefs make for unbelievable fish watching.
Poipu Park is another Kauai snorkling favorite, and near Nukumoi Point at the park is where you will find the great snorkel opportunities.
