Decision
Choosing a Kauai Sailing Tour: Morning Snorkel Sail, Sunset Dinner Cruise or Bay Cruise
Morning or evening, which boats promise to sail, which feed you, which take young children, and which harbour you need, with every boat in one table.
Kauai Sailing Guides
These are the long reads for the choices you make before you book one of the Kauai catamaran tours. Morning or evening? What does a harbour day look like? Can you see the coast without a boat? What does each fare buy, and who can go?
Start with which boat to book if you have not picked a kind of trip, or with the harbour day, hour by hour if your dates are set. The blog answers single questions in fewer words.
Itinerary

Prices
Kauai Sailing Tour Prices, and What Each Fare Buys
From the 90-minute bay cruise to the morning snorkel sail: what each fare feeds you, why one trip has two prices, and what it costs per hour on the water.
