This tour provided us with lots of fun, good exercise, and exceptional scenery. Most of all, I have to point out our tour guides Jay and Mike. Their passion for sharing knowledge about their homeland Kauai as well as effort to create environmental and cultural awareness went above and beyond.

Aloha Maria, Thanks for sharing your comments of your recent Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel. You comments about Jay and Mike, makes me realize once again, that we are so fortunate to have an excellent crew not only in the field but in the office sharing our aloha and love for the island. Your post was nice way to share the day. Thanks again...stay paddling and snorkeling.

Aloha, I will assume you are referring to our Hanalei Blue Lagoon tour and not our Na Pali sea kayak tour (summer only) from Polihale to Miloli’i Both tours re great ways to paddle and snorkel. Glad you enjoyed your lunch; we use Passions Bakery who are great to work with. Thanks for sharing.

This was our first time to Kauai and we had done a lot. We had taken some of our own hikes to waterfalls, did the helicopter ride (a must do) and took the barefoot sunset dinner cruise (meh, skip). THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST. Lisa and Justice worked their tails off to make sure that our day spent river and ocean kayaking, snorkeling, and then beach hiking was fun, safe and tasty too. They worked well together to insure maximum fun for our group of about 16. After about an hour of kayaking in the river and then the ocean (which was windy and there were waves) we paddled to a quiet beach to snorkel. They provided huge sandwiches, chips, cookies, pineapple and drinks and then we paddled back to the area where they keep the boats. I would have liked a little more time in the river to hear some more stories, but this was a group activity and some really did want to paddle hard. Even so, Justice paddled while I hung back with Lisa. It was a perfect excursion. Thank you again to two locals who love their home and love sharing it with us tourists. :)

Aloha Polly, What a nice review. Thanks. Justice is the new addition to our constellation of guides and glad to hear that he's doing very well. I know him to be very good water man. And we are very fortunate to have Lisa spearheading our river, snorkel and waterfall tours. Both are keepers; Kayak Kaua'i remains very blessed. Both bring a nice dynamic to our tours that mixesfun and safety seamlessly, while informing along the way. Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon five hour paddle and snorkel tours remains actually one of our secrets for the more active persons or families. The panorama rounding Hanalei rival those of the more famous Na Pali coast. Thanks again. A hui hou,
