Great Guides - Great experience! Expert, friendly guides made this excursion easy and fun. The snorkeling site was at a nice small, semi-private beach.

Kayak Adventure - We absolutely loved the kayak tour on the river and the ocean. We saw several turtles and exotic fish while snorkeling. The lunch provided was delicious. The best part of all of it was listening to the history and stories of Kauai by the wonderful tour guides. We'd highly recommend it!

Great tour! Amazing experience - Very professional service, they had all equipment provided for Snorkel. The guides were amazing, both Kolo and Gabe brought such a good vibe and experience. They guided us through the river into the beach shore, and later on guided us through the reefs for some amazing sealife watching. We were lucky enough to view three turtles and plenty of colorful fish.

Kayak Hanalei is a comprehensive Experience! - Gabe Bleacher is the best kayak guide! He combines a calm confidence with a practical knowledge base, telling stories in an understandable manner—all the while mesmerizing his audience with a hybrid Brit-Aussie accent that is both charming and captivating. His first duty is concern for the safety of his charges. His next goal is to educate his audience about Kauai and the Hanalei Bay. The snorkeling experience was excellent as my spouse and I saw and videoed more local fish and aquatic denizens than we had on two prior trips to Hawaii. Oh, and did I mention that lunch and kayaking were great? Thumbs up for a service well-performed!

A good time… - Paddle down the river into the ocean and onto the beach to snorkel, awesome!! Followed by lunch and fresh papaya. Wonderful time. Our guides Gabe and Kola were fantastic. Kola singing and playing the ukelele was a big bonus. One negative- half the people showed up 30 minutes late and the 8am start time turned into an 8:30am start time. Please people, be more courteous.

Perfect and beautiful Kayaking - The whole experience was amazing! From check-in with Hali to having Gabe and Kolo as our guides, it couldn’t have been a better day. I highly recommend this tour. You do paddle a lot, so be prepared for that but our snorkeling at the beach and the delicious lunch just made it a perfect morning.

Delightful kayaking/snorkeling trip. - We had a wonderful trip with Gab and Chanz. Loved kayaking down the river to the ocean. The snorkeling was amazing, seeing turtles, rays and hundreds of colorful fish. Both Gab and Chanz were very informative. They shared fresh coconut from the trees and Chanz serenaded us on the ukulele.
