Prince Kuhio is a small park, but 'big' diving awaits you!. The entry is a little rocky, but easy, and you may find a turtle or two in the shallow protected area. Shallow beginning through advanced snorkeling. A little shallow for scuba. Rocky entry, but very protected bay. Turtles are the highlight. 3-21 feet. Directly across from the Prince Kuhio Park.

Directions: From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8. After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa. Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu. At about mile 4.8, take the RIGHT fork and head West. After about a quarter of a mile, you will arrive!

Prince Kuhio Park

We live on Kauai and get in the water here, Lawai Beach or Koloa, almost every Saturday.  Just out of the water….with a great snorkel today out by the reef, but no time for a dive today. Probably 15 to 20 Green Sea Turtles by the reef, plenty of trumpet fish, eels and one big surprise: a rather large gray reef or sandbar shark tooling around by the turtles.  This is the first time at this site for me to see a large predator. Didn't hang around too long when he caught me by surprise.  Not too rough today and a great time with the large marine life.
