Jay was incredibly informative in the drive up to the river and Steve and Jay were awesome tour guides during the paddle and snorkel!

Aloha Carol, Actually overlooked, but the drive up from our Wailua River Marina location, where you checked in, to the staging are in Hanalei is "a tour in itself". Kaua'i is a scenic wonder and our panoramic Hanalei paddle and snorkel compliments the drive up. Glad you enjoyed. Stay paddling and snorkeling. Thanks for you kind review. A hui hou, Micco

This is a great experience for people and families of varying levels of skill and experience — from none to plenty. One of our paddlers has Parkinson’s, and was able to do this trip. Another has guided other ocean kayak trips. The trip easily accommodated both levels, and held everyone’s interest. We had the trip to ourselves (minimum, I think is 5), which of course, was great for us. Jay was a great guide, with a wealth of interesting knowledge about Hawaiian culture, language, and the environment. Easy upstream paddle; easy downstream float. Saw green turtle under our boats at this point. Had lunch on Hanalei beach, and then went snorkeling. One of us swam with another turtle, and another had a lifetime experience snorkeling. Be advised. the trip itself is 4 hours, but people gather at Wailue first, so if you have a drive from the south that will add to the time, because then the whole group drives to the put-in on Hanalei river, which is another 45 minutes, added on either side of 4 hours. Worth it.

Aloha Mary, Great review that gives folks a nice idea of what is involved and what paddlers might sea on the tour. Jay leads not only our Hanalei Paddle & Snorkel tour but also winter whale-watching on the South Shore and in the summer the fabulous Na Pali Coast. Thanks again for your kind words. Stay active and well. A hui hou, Micco

We had a fabulous trip kayaking in the Hanalei River and the bay and then snorkeling in Hanalei Bay. Our tour guide, Jay, was amazing! He had a great vibe, was a wealth of information about Kauai and made absolutely sure that we had a safe and very fun adventure. I would definitely book a trip with this vendor again! Five stars (and more) for Jay!!!

Aloha Mauree, Will have to lobby for more stars for these reviews! Jay is one of our top ocean guide. You should come back with Jay and paddle with him along the robust and challenging Na Pali Coast. Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon Tour is one of the lesser known gems and your kind words are helping others to enjoy it as well. Until our wakes cross again. Stay well and thanks. A hui hou, Micco
