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.

Our guide was great, very knowledgeable about the island and it's plant life, and the fishes that we were going to see while snorkeling.

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 💝.
