Our family had an awesome adventure. Kayaking was great with incredible views and lots of information on the surroundings from our fantastic guides Brian and Steve. Snorkeling was good and incredible surroundings. Really enjoyed our main guide Brian who was full of info on all things Kauai! He even made the drive a highlight of our trip. Solid!

Aloha Herb, Thanks for sharing and getting the word out about our terrific Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel. I believe after Na Pali coast the Hanalei area is number #2 in visitor attraction and seeing it by water on our Blue Lagoon Tour is classic approach. Good to know that Steve and Brian area doing a good job and that Brian is making the scenic drive up and back part of the tour. Kaua'i is a beautiful island in all respect and aspects. Thanks for sharing. A hui hou, Micco

Incredible excursion for kayaking in Hanalei within the bag and estuary. The snorkeling spot had such clear water with so many colorful fish! We even saw two turtles. Out guide Brian, was amazing- full of knowledge about the area and with quick wit, too. Go for it! You won't be disappointed!

Aloha Pgillian, Yes...I was there lending a helping hand when you did your Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle & Snorkel yesterday. You had a classic calm day with Brian and his energy complimenting the tour. I learn something every time I hang out with Brian; he is fun, safe and akamai. A highlight is also is the incredible panorama that is the background of the Hanalei River and Bay. Thanks for you kind words and come back. A hui hou, Micco

My family was disappointed in our Hanalei kayak and snorkel. We had a beautiful day. The guides "shorted" our time on the river expecting we could get around to Hideaway Bay. The Seas didn't let us, they can't help the weather. But instead of coming up with a plan C they told us to snorkel in the Bay where honestly all I saw was my husband's feet. Most people on our tour sat on the beach for 45 minutes. They cut the tour short by more than a half hour. It turned out to be an expensive 40 minute kayak tour. I gave to 2 stars because Hanalei is absolutely beautiful and the 40 minutes was lovely

Aloha Bucket, If you have been following the Kauai weather, it was starting to conspire before the recent massive floods we just witnessed. Guides do usually have a back up plan, but between the high surf which prevented you from exploring Hideaways and the rain engorged river, it kind of lessened the options. In spite of the weather glad you could appreciate the panorama and beauty of Hanalei environs; it is classic. Now for more sunshine. Thanks for sharing. Micco
