Jay and Darren were awesome guides! Super friendly and engaging. Very knowledgeable about Kuaui (of course) with excellent tips on where to eat, get amazing coffee (Small Town Coffee, Kapa’a) and hiking! Great advice on Okolehao Trail, especially to bring gloves! Trip and guides highly recommended! Thanks!

Aloha Carole, I will have to ask Jay and Darren where I can get a good burrito. (Smiling Face). All our guides are a wealth of information, from the natural and cultural history....to where, of course, you can find a good burrito. Will let them both know you enjoyed the paddle and snorkel and their tips. Stay well and active. Thanks for making it possible. A hui hou, Micco

This was an amazing experience! We had great tour guides- Jay and Dennis. They were knowledgeable and friendly and made sure everyone was safe. We went to the best snorkeling spot I’ve been to on the island and got to see all kinds of fish, sea turtles and coral. The views of the mountains coming back into Hanalei Bay are breathtaking. Really it’s one of my favorite experiences on the island.

Aloha Wendy, Compared to our Wailua River paddle and hike to the waterfalls...the Blue Lagoon tour you went on is not as well known. As you learned it is a classic. Even in the winter, when the surf is up, after exploring the river, we can extract some satisfying snorkeling and paddling within the barrier reef. Will let Jay and Darren know you enjoyed your day. Stay well and active. A hui hou, Micco

Great time! Love kayaking and being so close on the water. Snorkeling is always fun. The beach was a great little spot. Jay was a perfect guide. He made sure everyone knew what to do and that all were having fun. Lunch was tasty especially fresh pineapple. A very nice way to spend a few hours.

Aloha Lawrence, Thanks for taking the time to let us know that Jay continues to "shine". Jay not only does a great job in the field but also is responsible in general for our "award winning" sea kayak program. Thanks for sharing and keep paddling and exploring. A hui hou, Micco
