Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Koloa Landing
Koloa Landing at Hanaka'ape Bay is a very popular dive site, especially for scuba instruction. The entry is easy, and there is plenty to see to the left and right of the landing.
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. After .2 mile, take the left fork. You'll see the landing in about a tenth of a mile.

This is the best shore dive on Kauai. The horseshoe shaped reef allows for 2 awesome dives, one side first, the other side second. The west side has corals and lava formations. The east side has more boulders and less coral but I saw frogfish and several turtles on this side. Both sides have eels, eels and more eels including the rare Dragon Moray. I saw 3! Also octopus, and lots of reef fish! What a healthy dive site!
