We've never snorkeled before but wanted to "give it a try". Without any instruction or training and despite the fact that we both were a little nervous, we rented equipment on our final day in Kauai and headed to Tunnels Beach. All I can say is that I wish we had done this earlier! The views under the water were fabulous! So many different and colorful species of fish and marine life, all in a safe environment!
We saw trigger fish, trumpet fish, zebra colored fish, and even fish with rainbow colors. We identified brain coral, and shelf coral. The water was calm and the reef was not too crowded. Once in a while you can get "tossed" in the current so stay away from snorkling on "top" of the huge lava rocks. Both my wife and I were scratched in this manner on our knees! Try to follow the "tunnels" through the rocks and out toward the reef drop off edges to see the more exotic species.
One drawback is parking. Get there early to get a parking spot!
