Great fun for the whole family - I went on this tour with my wife and 7 year old daughter. It was a great experience for us all. Kayaking down the Hanalei River into the ocean was a nice workout. The snorkeling was amazing. We saw all kinds of beautiful fish and a large ray. Very majestic swimming along side it and its crazy long tail. We had a nice lunch on the beach and then a nice paddle back up the river. Gabe was our guide and did a phenomenal job telling the history of the island as well as letting us enjoy the scenery and not rushing us at all, just letting us go at our own pace. Highly recommend doing this.

Lots of fish! - My husband and I participated in the Hanalei snorkel adventure and it was top notch. We had snorkeled in Greece and there were hardly any fish to see, so I was amazed by how many fish we saw during this snorkeling. We swam right around the reefs and probably saw 15 different types of fish including eel and manta ray. Our tour guide, Gabe, was knowledgeable and attentive to our needs and safety. They were also able to accomdate my dietary restrictions for lunch - which was a big plus. Thanks for a fantastic morning.

Fantastic tour - The tour exceeded our expectations. We went on a kayak ride and learned about the local area and language. We saw several turtles in the river. While snorkeling in the ocean we saw four different turtles, octopus, eel, and many fish. The lunch is high quality. I would definitely recommend this tour. It’s an excellent opportunity to see the north shore with a guide.

Best tour in Kauai to the falls! - Great falls prize at the end of the tour! Best tour for Kauai. The trek requires water shoes because you will wade up to the thighs on part of the hike to the falls. Go on a sunny day as it is slippery. You need to be fit for this hike, canoe tour. Falls is the best present 💝.

Kayak and snorkel @ Hanalei Bay - 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.
