For incredible snorkeling on Kauai’s North Shore, go to Tunnels Beach, especially during the summer months, when the waters are calm. The inner reefs close to shore are great for kids, who will spot many kinds of colorful fish, including reef triggerfish (whose Hawaiian name most kids will be delighted to hear you attempt to say: humuhumunukunukuÄpuaÊ»a). The outer reefs are not recommended for beginning swimmers, as the currents can get strong.
