After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
If there’s one thing that comes to mind when thinking of Hawaii, it is the incredible opportunities to partake in water sports of all kinds in the Pacific Ocean surrounding these beautiful islands we call home. And while surfing is phenomenal, there are two activities a bit more accessible to everyone in Hawaii: kayaking and snorkeling. Well, this incredible excursion on the southern shore of Kauai offers the best of both worlds: the ease of kayaking combined with the underwater views associated with snorkeling. So, what are you waiting for? Read on to discover why a moonlight glass-bottom kayak tour absolutely needs to be on your Hawaii bucket list for 2019.
As the only glass-bottom kayak tour you'll find on the island of Kauai, this is one oceanic excursion you’ll never forget.
Previously, the only way to experience Hawaii’s marine life after dark was to go snorkeling or scuba diving, but unfortunately, these options aren’t available to everyone. But a relaxing kayak tour that allows children as young as three and accommodates everyone? Well, that’s an adventure we can endorse!
Embarking from one of three Kauai bays after sunset, this relaxing look at the underwater world of the Pacific Ocean under the cover of darkness is truly one-of-a-kind.
Featuring a 9-foot glass bottom viewing area enhanced by two rows of LED lights, these 12-foot-long kayaks are incredible. The LED lights illuminate the ocean floor all the way around and under the kayak, making all the difference in the world when it comes to the sea life you’ll see.
The kayaks provided are easy to use and stable on the water. And unlike traditional kayaking, where adventurers might grow tired from the constant paddling if they aren’t used to the movement, the views are even better when you slow down to enjoy them.
Seriously, the views are incredible — both below the ocean’s surface and above the horizon. So, what are you waiting for? There’s no better way to end a perfect day on Kauai than with a glass bottom kayak tour under the moonlight!

Prefer to snorkel instead of kayak? Head to Oahu’s Hanauma Bay or Molokini for some of the world’s best snorkeling. Or, if you’d prefer to stay out of the water entirely, consider taking this glass-bottom boat tour off the coast of Waikiki.
