Only for certified divers. “Mana Crack” is an 11 mile long sunken barrier reef that has many different drop points. This is the furthest off shore dive site in the state of Hawaii! Mana Crack is known for its amazing visibility and unique topography. Great place to see large barracuda, spotted eagle rays, and white tip reef sharks. If you dive in Kauai a lot you will be surprised to see the java moray, rainbow runner, grey reef shark, stripe belly puffer, black surgeonfish and wringtail wrasse. We start with a deeper dive between 60-100 ft followed by an hour and a half long surface interval exploring the insanely beautiful Na Pali Coast! We can even take you in and out of the sea caves! The second dive is done a little shallower usually between 45-80 feet on a different drop point. Usually a few miles apart! If weather is not permitting for this tour we will reroute to south side Kaua’i diving and a 45% discount will be added.

    An all-round magical day

    Our experience with Jess and Nick was excellent. Their experience, knowledge, passion and hospitality were outstanding. We had some special requirements due to a back injury and they made sure everything was safe and comfortable. Not only that, we saw many beautiful creatures and landscapes including a Monk Seal eating an octopus, hundreds of bottle nosed and spinner dolphins, a whale, eagle rays and many rare endemic fish that you can only see on and around Kauai. Their knowledge on the history and formation of the Na’apali Coast added to the natural beauty. And lunch and snacks were delicious. Thank you both.

    September 17, 2024 trip

    September 17th Scuba diving trip with Nick and Jessie exceeded my expectations. I reserved the dive trip 2 months in advance and the entire experience was excellent across all aspects. Nick and Jessie are passionate in what they do and sharing their knowledge with others. The boat trip, equipment, exploration along the Na Pali coast and the actual 2 dive sites was excellent. The starting point for the trip, near Waimea, is great especially if you are staying on the south side of Kauai.

    Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kauai.

    How much does Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack cost?

    +

    Prices start at $650 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kauai usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kauai is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kauai, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kauai can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kauai and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Scuba Dive Off The Na Pali Coast, Kaua’i-Mana Crack start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kauai within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Kauai?

    +

    Kauai sells Na Pali Coast boat and helicopter tours, Waimea Canyon drives, tubing through old plantation ditches and Hanalei kayak trips. Ocean conditions shut down the north shore boat runs in winter, so cancellation terms matter. On Outty we rank every Kauai experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Koloa Zipline in Kauai, Kauai: NaPali Boat Tour on the Amelia K, Kauai: Secret Falls Kayak and Hike. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Kauai?

    +

    April to June and September to October, with calmest seas in summer. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Kauai?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
