Snorkeling on Poipu Beach Kauai

One of the most enjoyable and rewarding activities on Poipu Beach by Kiahuna Plantation Resort and Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club is snorkeling.  I use a Flip Video with a waterproof case.  Recommend that you get a waterproof guide to all the reef fish, which is available at the Kiahuna Plantation Activity Shack or other Dive Shops in Poipu.   Also available at the Whaler's Market in the Poipu Shopping Center.  You can buy snorkel gear at Costco in Kauai or rent it.

Beautiful Sunsets at Poipu Beach

Not only does Poipu Beach and Kiahuna Plantation Resort have great Boogie Boarding, Swimming, and Snorkeling, but they also have beautiful sunsets.

We love to eat at the Plantation Garden Restaurant at the Kiahuna Plantation Resort on Poipu because they have excelllent food.   You can rent snorkeling gear at the Dive Shop on the way to Koloa Town from Poipu Beach.  Next to the Dive Shop is a great Mexican Food ToGo Place called Da Crack.   It is interesting that air conditioners are not need on this side of Kauai because of the Trade Winds and this is also the sunniest part of kauai.

Our Favorite Condo on Poipu Beach in Kauai

Poipu Beach on the Island of Kauai has been rated as one of the Top 10 beaches in the World by the Travel Channel.  This is mainly because of the wide sweeping beach and the calm waters.  Plus it is an excellent snorkeling beach.   We consider this the best way to save money on travel because it is completely renovated and is on the first floor so we can eat on the lanai and also have an easy walk to the beach and the various bbq's which are top of the line.  You will love this beach many rate it as the best beach in hawaii.

Best Condo on Poipu Beach

For starters, after 25 years of travel to Kauai, we believe that the best place to stay is to get a good deal on flight to Kauai and stay at Kiahuna  Plantation   What is nice is the wide curve shaped beach that you can see on the photo below and the really nice Boogie Boarding and Snorkeling that is available.   Many nice restaurants are within easy walking distance and so is shopping.   We also like to eat at places on Poipu Beach and Koloa Town that are frequented by the local Kauai residence.   We have been to all the islands and this Condo is absolutely the best.  Poipu Beach has been rated in the Top 10 Beaches in the World by the Travel Channel.  We have been going to Poipu for 26 years.  Spring break is a great time to visit.  All the condos are recommended at Kiahuna Plantation except the ones by the cactus garden.  Be sure to find the best discount airfare to Kauai because it should not cost that much.

Snorkeling on Poipu Beach Kauai

Poipu Beach has some of the best snorkeling on Kauai. This video is short but shows a number of large fish.

Snorkeling on Poipu Beach

On the left side of Poipu Beach, right own from our Kiahuna Condo, is the best snorkeling on the Island of Kauai. You can attract fish with fish food but they discourage it. One of the best foods is frozen peas. The Poipu Snorkeling Beach is on the right and left of the Marriott Waiohai Beach Club and only about 50 yards for Kiahuna Plantation.

Best Place for Kauai Activity Reservations

We highly recommend the Kiahuna Plantation Beach and Activity Hut for Kauai Activity Reservations. After 23 years of traveling to Kauai and the Kiahuna Plantation we believe that the best activities are the helicopter ride and the zodiak boat ride along the Napili Coast. Be sure to talk to Paul at the Kiahuna Plantation Activity Hut on Poipu Beach for reservations. He can give you really good deals and also lots of information on what to do on Kauai on your visit. He has given us a number of valuable tips that have enhanced our vacation. Stop by his booth, you will be glad you did. He is also a professional bass player so if you are interested in music, he has lots of great ideas.

Snorkeling and Boogie Boarding at Poipu Beach Kauai

One of the best snorkeling beaches on Kauai and right next to the Kiahuna Plantation Condo for Rent is called Brennecke's Beach. It is shallow water and easy to see hundreds of fish there. We also like to boogy board right out in front of the Kiahuna Plantation Resort. As a guest, you simply go to the Guest hut and get chairs and towels. The Kiahuna Plantation Condo has several Boogie Boards, one for adults, and the other for children. My 67 year old wife loves to boogy board on Poipu Beach.
