This seasonal tour features areas of habitat that some of Kauai‘s native birds call home. Na ‘Āina Kai is one of the few places in the Hawaiian Islands where one can view albatross nests. The timing of these expeditions is set to allow visitors to observe some of the extraordinary activities of Laysan Albatross during nesting season which can include their unique mating/courtship dances, nest building, and/or chick care.  The Gardens’ permanent ponds are home to two critically endangered species, the Hawaiian goose (nene) and the Hawaiian moorhen, both of which nest here.  Other birds you may see are red-footed boobies, tropicbirds, great frigate birds, and pacific golden-plover. This special expedition visits areas of Na ‘Āina Kai that other tours do not include.  A 24-hour notice is required for tour cancellations or reservation changes. Must be age 13 or older.
