During your time on Kauai, enjoy a three-hour guided kayak and snorkel tour along the picturesque Hanalei River and in Hanalei Bay, which is home to the beautiful Bay Reef Lagoon. Admire the dramatic Makana Peak (Bali Hai) and get up close to tropical reef fish. As you kayak along the river, you’ll be surrounded by lush trees and diverse wildlife. Learn about the flora and fauna of the surrounding area from your naturalist guide, and enjoy a snorkel in the turquoise waters of the lagoon.

We were originally planning to do ocean kayaking with another company but the waves were too high. We were able to switch to this last minute and it was more laid back tempo.
Also nice that they offer pickup in Princeville if you call them. Most of the tours require you to travel closer to Kapaa so if you are staying in north shore, we found this company and one other near Princeville.
They provide needed equipment and dry bags. Justice, our guide, was a great teacher for the ocean kayaking. We had kayaked before but never ocean kayaked. If you want more of that type of adventure they have other tours but the high waves can cause it to cancel.
It was cold on the day we went so snorkeling with wet suit or skins would have been more comfortable. We saw lots of turtles, though!

Michael F was our tour guide and he was the best. Honestly, the man is a Zen Master who also does Kayak tour guiding on the side. It helped that the north part of the island is as beautiful as a place I have ever been. It's a must.

My family had a WONDERFUL trip with Jay and Nova (guide in training). Jay pointed out all the flora & fauna and had so much knowledge on the island. We saw 2 sea turtles taking a “bath” in the Hanalei River and even though the sea was rough we kayaked out into the waves and had a great beach day in the bay. We will do this again next trip!

First I want to say our tour guide Harrison was great. He knew a lot about Kauai and the animals and plants and history. The problem was that we woke very early in the morning to drive 40 minutes to the meeting spot on our ticket. Only to be told we are driving exactly back the way we came. So we got back in our car and drove the exact 40 minutes up to Princeville to meet the rest of the group. There should have been much better communication of meeting spot locations. Also it was strange that a bottle of water wasn’t even included. The kayaking was fun and the snorkeling was a good spot. But if I did it again I would have done a catamaran snorkeling tour.

We had a great time with J kayaking the river, into the ocean and back. Snorkeling was good and a nice picnic lunch provided. We had no kayaking experience really and were easily able to manage! Thanks, J, for the great day!

Our guide Gabe was awesome and so was our junior guide, Nova. His calm demeanor and knowledge of the area provided a great level of comfort, education and fun! The mix of easy river paddling and the more challenging ocean swells made for a fantastic day.

Jay was knowledgeable about the island and entertained us with much info along the way. The river had floating flowers and I thought it was so pretty. We braved the waves in the bay and paddled to Hideaway beach. Didn’t capsize, although we were warned we should expect it. Success!
