Great experience. The reef is a good distance out. Watch tor tide timings. Low tide makes it a bit harder to head out and back without getting scraped up.
Ready to experience Kauai in a way few travelers ever do? Discover the ancient art of Hawaiian reef spearfishing, a skill passed down through generations. You’ll explore breathtaking coastal waters, learn the secrets of three-prong spearfishing, and connect with local culture by providing for your ohana (family) just like islanders have for centuries. This is a chance to challenge yourself, discover the vibrant underwater world, and take home memories (and potentially dinner!) that are as authentic as Hawaii itself. Even if you’re brand new to spearfishing, the laid-back, expert-guided adventure is designed for first-timers and thrill-seekers alike.

Amazing Day! I was afraid that we’d be in deep water but the deepest was about 5 feet. I saw so many fish and others saw plenty of turtles. We didn’t catch dinner as it was just a day after the rains but it was still worthwhile. If you have any doubt - just do it!

Unique experience and a lot of fun if you are comfortable snorkeling. Our guide Aidden was extremely knowledgeable and helped us to get familiar with the equipment and how to fish. Highly recommend!!

Bought for my husband. Cool learning experience but a little too physically demanding. Instructor was set on taking them about 3 football lengths out in the reef (they had to swim out from the shore before even trying to fish).

This was probably my favorite activity I did during my entire trip in Hawaii and that even includes comparing it to skydiving! I got lucky and managed to see and swim near a few turtles and even saw some large eels! Aidden was great. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. My only warning is that it can require a lot of strength and stamina in your dominant arm because the spear is essentially a slingshot so holding it under tension one-armed while waiting for the fish to get in the line of fire will wear you out.
