We had a great time with this company. We Kayaked up the river and then down to the mouth and to Hanalei Bay. It rained off and on the entire trip, which was pleasant. However, the water was so choppy that the snorkeling portion was very difficult and not very fun. Wish the weather had been better, but the guides were great! Knowledgeable, friendly and fun!

Aloha Keri, Man proposes....and the Fate's dispose! Sorry the weather conspired and nice to know that the guides took a curve and made it a plus; that is true guiding. Guiding is easy when you have classically beautiful weather. True test of guides is guiding when the weather is less than perfect and still making it a fun and enriching experience Thanks for sharing and here's to better weather for us all. A hui hou, MIcco

Aloha Chelsea, Lisa and Steve....are often partners in "crime" on our popular Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel tour you went on. They know how to balance fun with safety within the beautiful panorama that surrounds the Hanalei River and Bay. There is a reason we call Lisa and Steve the...."dream team"! Turtle you saw was most likely the "green sea turtle". This is a good omen for a return. The turtle is the totem of Kayak Kauai; we travel slow, have fun along the way and ultimately prevail and make it back safely. Thanks for sharing and keep having fun. A hui hou, Micco

If you want a little kayaking, this is the trip for you. Be ready for some laughs and splashes along the way, especially if you are a kayaking novice like me and my husband. We kayaked up the Hanalei River and then back down out to a nearby beach for beautiful snorkeling. Our guides, Lisa and Steve were great, very attentive to all of the paddlers/snorkelers to ensure safety! They really made the trip a fun experience.

Aloha Karen, Thanks for taking time to share your impressions of our Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel tour. Glad to hear that you are starting the New Year wielding a paddle. We hope this continues to be part of your New Year Resolution Lisa and Steve do make a great team, and like our other guides, keep tours safe, informative but mostly fun; their personalities are "icing on the cake" on a tour that exalts the beautiful panorama that surrounds Hanalei. Come back and enjoy our other hiking and kayak tours. If you do, book online and use our "Repeat Offender" coupon code: ROTA for a discount. You will find as well, our other guides to be all a cast of characters with a reals sense of fun. Stay safe in the New Year and until our wakes cross. Thanks again. A hui hou, Micco
