Snorkel with Turtles and Kayak in Paradise - Annie was a great tour guide, with so much knowledge and so kind! She was great to spend the day with! We loved the views and our kayaking and snorkel excursion were both beautiful.

Best tour - The tour was great! Very organized and very friendly staff. Our guide Jay was amazing. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and organized. He led us on a great tour telling stories and facts about the island the whole way. Then took us to the bay to snorkel and had a wealth of knowledge about where to dive. Not to mention the lunch on the beach was a great way to spent the day.

Jay is the best - What an amazing experience. Jay was one of the best guides I have ever met. He has a wealth of knowledge about Hawaii and was able to answer pretty much any and all questions. He made the entire tour so good! Thanks a lot for making our trip to Kauai that much better!

Woo Harrison! - This was a phenomenal experience! Everyone backed out on the tour except for us, but our guide, Harrison, showed up with a great attitude after what he said was a hectic morning. He is so knowledgeable on Kauai culture, plants, history, bugs, and really anything else you could want to know. It felt like hanging out with a friend! He was interested in what we wanted to get out of the experience and ensured we had that opportunity. He is an amazing guide, but also just a fun guy to spend half a day with! The sea kayaking portion is brief and as long as you follow his lead, there should be no issue. Could not recommend more!

An excellent choice for a morning or afternoon activity. - Kayaking in the ocean ! Right along the shore with a magnificent view of Hanalei Bay and waterfalls. The water was so clear and vibrant blue. We started paddling up the river which was very calm and very scenic. Then to a Secret Gem im told hideaways beach. With ancient trees hanging near by its great for photos. The Guide was Lindsey ! Full of positive energy and very attentive to the group. And she carved us a Pineapple right on the beach, it was epic. Totally Hawaii. The Tour only took a few hours so i had plenty of time to explore other things in Hanalei.

Fun Time in Hanalei - We had. very good communication about the day’s activities. We were staying in Princeville and they picked us up very close to our hotel, which saved us time. Our guide provided a detailed explanation of the scenery and surrounding area

Paddle &Snorkle Hanalei Bay - Koa was a great guide and patient with a novice like me. I should have been in a 2-person kayak or at least been assisted better with properly securing the seat back. Snorkeling was disappointing....not many visible. The river and bay scenery still make the trip a thumbs up.
