The tour guides are super friendly, knowledge and just great people you want to be with on such an activity. The format, equipment and location is perfect to get some taste of the north shore and gain a sense of achievement from the activity!

Aloha My Cloud, We do feel our Hanalei Blue Lagoon Paddle & Snorkel to be reasonably priced. Once in a long while, but not often, some folks feel it was overpriced or not up to their expectations. Hanalei Bay and River and surrounding panorama rivals anything on island. After Na Pali Coast, Hanalei remains # 2 in in folks destination/estimation. Keep that achievement and keep paddling. Thanks for sharing. Happy Memorial day.

The kayak tour down the Hanalei River was beautiful. I wish we had a little more time. But we tried to go to a different beach and did some ocean kayaking. That was great! Unfortunately the waves wouldn’t allow us but the place we went to was great.

Aloha Alli, Man proposes an Neptune disposes. On our Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel in April we can and sometimes not, make it to Hideaway Beach as you learned because of the surf. During the summer we generally don't have problems getting to Hideaway Beach. That said paddling up the Hanalei River tooling around the bay and snorkeling in front of the St. Regis is not too shabby. If anything the panorama that surrounds Hanalei Bay rivals that of the Na Pali coast.

Hello, My husband and I went on this trip. First of all, you start out kayaking in the ocean. If you don't like waves, do not go on this trip! If you are fit and not scared of ocean kayaking, then I'm sure it's fine. I wound up hiking the whole way. They should have refunded my money. I do not recommend this trip.

Aloha Jackie, We try to offer a spectrum of tours to fit everyones ability and concerns; from mellower Wailua River tours to more challenging Na Pali sea kayaking paddles. Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel is a hybrid tour where we enjoy some ocean paddling inside Hanalei Bay and reef and explore as well the Hanalei River. Thanks for warning others to double check what they are signing up before they book. A hui hou,
