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

We had a blast during this simple kayak and snorkel trip! The Kayak was simple enough for anyone who hasn’t kayaked before. It seemed like we spent most time snorkeling, which was incredible, since we were lucky enough to swim with turtles! Jay and Patrick as guides were very helpful and kept the trip open to the group dynamic based on everyone’s abilities. Meanwhile they both were full if information about the island and environment! I recommend trying to schedule this at the beginning of your trip so you can get ideas from the guides about great spots to visit later in the trip.

Aloha Lauren, Not only is our Hanalei Blue Lagoon Paddle & Snorkel, a great activity for couples, but also for the more active family. On this tour we sea turtles all the time; especially meaningful because it is our logo at Kayak Kaua'i; we go slow and thoughtful. Glad you enjoyed the "pros", i.e., Jay and Patrick. Anyway...welcome to the beauty of Hanalei Ban and Rive and thanks for taking the time to share. A hui hou, Micco

We had a great time with our small group! Our guides Pahatu and Jay were a perfect combination of guide, host, and a fun friend showing us an island they clearly love! It was a perfect way to see the coast and we are so happy to have been a part of this experience.
