We tent camped here, it was nice there were flush toilets and showers. Our campsite had electric hook ups, we failed to see that when we booked so we didn't pack a fan. It would have helped keep us cooler. Our adventure to the water was lovely, it is rocky so pack some water shoes/crocs etc. Will be back again.

If we're just rating the park facilities themselves they don't take care of this park and given there are admission fees for each person this place should be pristine. But most people are coming here to go out to the reef or some other snorkeling for building adventure everything you'll do in that respect is five stars.

So beautiful, even after a storm. Buy snorkels at the second hand shops (brand new, $22) and get in the water. And definitely don't touch the flower jelly fish
Park rangers were really nice and gave us a jump after our battery died. The beaches aren't big, so if it's a nice day, or a weekend, prepare to be shoulder to shoulder.

If you are trying to go snorkeling this is not the place unless you want to pay for their boat tour. The beach smells pretty bad

Very wonderful had a great time paddle boarding and kayaking. Everyone from start to finish was very pleasant and seemed happy to be doing their job. Will definitely go back again and again.

If you RV or tent camp then do yourself a favor and stop buy. Beautiful sunrises and great Rangers! They have large parking for RV's and buses for a day visit. Make sure you do a snorkel tour, just beautiful.

Take the half-day snorkeling excursion. The boat ride out to the reef passes through picturesque mangroves, and the diversity of coral and sea creatures is impressive. This was my first snorkel experience, and it was a winner.

Went there with SUNDIVER snorkeling. Capn Tom was great. Thanks for the goggle tips Oscar. Janet and Debbie were excellent with the reservations and rental set up Will definitely return. The reef was incredible!

The park was beautiful but the water wasn't the color I was hoping for and I was a little dissatisfied.

Take the snorkel tour out to dry rocks if possible. Snorkeling in Kauai didn't compare to this. We had the best visibility they had seen in 2 weeks. 50 feet! Tons of colorful fishes and even a giant green sea turtle. Mike and Brian were great and even helped ID fish that were not on the guide card we got. Don't miss this.
