Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this spearfishing lesson? Can kids participate?

A: There's no strict age limit, but I'd recommend this for ages 12 and up since they can handle the equipment and swim well. If your kid is younger but is a strong swimmer, maybe reach out to Pomai Ka'i to see if they can accommodate. It’s super fun for teens!

Q: Is there a chance this could get canceled due to weather? What’s the policy?

A: Yes, the lessons can be canceled if the weather is unsafe or the seas are rough. Pomai Ka'i will contact you ahead of time if there’s any issue and will work with you to reschedule. I’ve heard they’re pretty flexible about it!

Q: What should I wear for the spearfishing lesson? Any specific gear or clothes?

A: You'll want a swimsuit, of course! They provide snorkeling gear, but bringing a rash guard is a good idea since it can get pretty sunny out there. Water shoes could help with footing on rocks too. Just keep it light!

Just booked the Hawaiian Reef Spearfishing Lesson! Any tips?

I finally decided to go for it and booked the Hawaiian Reef Spearfishing Lesson on Kauai! I'm super excited but also a bit nervous since I’ve never done anything like this. It’s with Pomai Ka'i, and I’ve heard great things. Any tips on what to expect or what to bring?

Who else has tried spearfishing in Kauai?

I just came back from the spearfishing lesson with Pomai Ka'i and wow, what a blast! The instructor was super knowledgeable and made it really fun for beginners. The three-prong spear is a bit tricky at first, but I got the hang of it. Totally recommend it as a gift for anyone looking for an adventure!
