We had a blast! The Guides were not only knowledgeable, but they're very talented. You don't just get instructions on how to kayak, you a history lesson and if you're lucky, as we were, they'll bust out a ukulele and sing you a few tunes!
We definitely would recommend this to everyone 👌 👍

Worth every penny. If you dont have a lot of time on Kauai, this tour is awesome and has a bit of everything. We have only kayaked once ever before, so we are really inexperienced. You will get wet so go in swim clothing, water shoes and lots of sunblock. We started off kayaking on the river where you will get amazing views of the river bank, and eventually out into the shallow sea near the Hanalei bay. The tour guides were funny, energetic and knowledgeable (Ko'Le and Gabe), and shared many of the local history and nearby mountains. We snorkeled briefly after landing near a beach near the 1 hotel, and saw many colorful fish, had lunch they prepared and kayaked back. The whole tour took about 4 hours but you felt like you have been there for a while. An awesome way to spend an afternoon in Hanalei. There's lotta food and stores in the town of Hanalei, and coffee spot right next door. It was our first time on the island, and this happened on the 2nd day of our trip, couldnt have done it any better. What a gorgeous and incredibly safe tropical jungle

Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Easy process from beginning to end. Beautiful scenery. Snorkeling had interesting marine life - we even swam alongside a turtle.

A few things -
1) Great information about the island and its history/facts.
2) The snorkeling was incredible.
3) Our two hosts were fantastic. Their goal was to ensure their guests had a great time. The accomplished that goal and then some!!

This tour is absolutely amazing! What we appreciated most was the relaxed, warm atmosphere created by our guide! The views along the river and bay were breathtaking, and we learned all kinds of Hawaiian lore along the way! The snorkeling was beautiful, easy, fun, and coordinated! We highly recommend the morning tour, bring a light wrap and towel plus a hat! The lunch is delicious, and of course, our guide made the day even more special with his ukulele playing on the beach! We chose several tours for our week, this one was our absolute favorite!

Our guide was impressive. Generational Hawaiian gave us a ton of history and ceremony. Treated us ALL like humans and NOT tourists. That was very refreshing for me traveling alone. Families and couples were catered to on my previous experiences, so this was great. Blew the shell, played ukulele and sang during lunch, and so full of knowledge that he NEEDED and wanted to share.

Had a wonderful experience kayaking and snorkeling and many thanks to our guide Cole who was super friendly with the entire team providing history of hanalei, Kauai, singing with Ukelele and guiding us riding the ocean wave etc.
If you are visiting Kauai, i would highly recommend booking with them.
Note: Personally, i am not that comfortable with water but had a great time the entire duration.

The entire adventure was excellent! Fantastic tour guide! Beautiful scenery. Great equipment. Snorkeling was so fun the waters were beautiful, the fish and other sea friends were abundant and so colorful. Lunch on the beach was very nice especially being serenaded during the meal. Highly recommend this tour!

The set up was very professional for check in, getting gear, and kayaking overview. Kolo, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Kauai’s history and you could tell he had a passion for his island. The kayaking was beautiful and easy. We also were given cards with fish we might see snorkeling and a bit about them from a Hawaiian perspective and that is one thing other trips snorkeling haven’t ever done, so unique. They had sand mats for us to use while we ate the provided (and very good) lunch on the beach after snorkeling. Kolo played the ukulele and sang Hawaiian songs while we ate. Wow! And we learned about how the mountains look like a dragon and the origin of the song Puff the magic dragon. Really it was quite an amazing tour. Kayak Hanalei is family owned and I recommend this tour while in Kauai!

The most memorable part of this wonderful experience was, when our kayak did a Huli in the ocean! 😂😂. Everything was memorable. The guide was so awesome!!!! I would do it again in a heartbeat.
