Swimming with turtles.

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide was great, very knowledgeable about the island and it's plant life, and the fishes that we were going to see while snorkeling.

Fun for the whole family!...

Fun for the whole family! Our tour guides were great, and so much fun! Beautiful views while kayaking and snorkeling both, too hard to pick a favorite part.

Kayak and snorkel @ Hanalei Bay

Published on Jan, 2025

It was quite fun kayaking down the river to the Hanalei Bay. It wa a bit scary when the river merged into the ocean since there were waves coming in and the kayak was a bit rocky. But it was exciting and adventurous for my 16 year old. The kayaking trip back was a bit tiring since going upstream. A good workout for sure. The tour guides were very informative and told us about the geography of the Hanalei Bay, the mountains and history of Kauai. They also took some pictures of us on Kayak, which was great. It would have been good if we have brought water proof camera so we can take pictures of all the variety of fish that we saw while snorkling. Overall, it was amazing.

Fantastic kayaking experience!

Published on Jan, 2025

What a great trip! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. We learned a ton along the way out on the Hanalei River.

Great paddle and fun guide

Published on Dec, 2024

Have gone on a few trips with them over the years. Always great guides and easy service. This time weather prohibited the snorkel trip, but they adjusted to take us further up river and it was beautiful.
