My family took a guided snorkel/kayak tour with this company, something I've done before with no problem (using other companies). However, on this tour, issues started after we got up to where the waves were bigger and crashing down on us. The guide was far ahead from about half the group. Two guys who were behind us actually capsized. Other people from the group yelled up to the guide to stop, but he kept going. A bit further up, my son and I had gotten behind from the big waves and when it got to the point that I couldn't see the guide anymore and could barely see anyone else from the group, I just felt the situation had gotten too dangerous. There was a beach a little further back, so I started paddling towards it. Meanwhile, my husband was able to catch up to the guide and tell him my son and I weren't with the group anymore. The guide ended up paddling back maybe 5 or so minutes after we got to the edge of the beach. He started berating me for not keeping up saying, "I told everyone they had to stay on my tail." I replied back that it was his job to keep everyone in the group together and ensure our safety. I had a 7-year-old with me and was doing the best I could. He then said that he couldn't legally leave us behind. I said I didn't care; I'm a grown up and if I don't feel safe and can't ensure the safety of my kid, I'm not going with him. He then offered to go with my son, but my son didn't want to and at this point, I had lost all trust in this guide, so I wasn't comfortable either. So he helped us pull the kayak onto the beach and then took off. My son and I spent the next 2 hours waiting on the beach with no food or drink, which were to be included as part of the tour.

Aloha Kim, Thanks for you concerns and helping us tweak and improve tours so that others do not experience what you and your son did. You did edit out from your original direct email with us, which in my opinions was the crux of the problem: “Then the guide said we would be going to Hideaway Bay if everyone was up for. The majority of the group yelled out something like, "Yeah, let's do it." I didn't respond but wasn't too worried about it as I've ocean kayaked a number of times before.” Given your alleged experience you should have shared with the guide your apprehension and he could have comfortably left you behind on a more sandy and auspicious beach with your 7 year old (which is quite lovely) versus the riskier rocky beach you chose. I also felt your son, given your experience took command of the “ship” from the get go. “He (guide) then offered to go with my son, but my son didn't want to and at this point, I had lost all trust in this guide, so I wasn't comfortable either.” Your guide Nakoa shared that at the beginning of the tour he shared he was willing to paddle any young children. Our guides don’t berate. You may have been projecting by the way you spoke with your guide. Often a guide is competing ironically with the “great quiet” and has to resort to a stentorian bellow to be heard above the elements. You may have misinterpreted as berating your guide true voice of concern. From your review you shared, “..took a guided snorkel/kayak tour with this company, something I've done before with no problem (using other companies)”. There is only one other company, but that said, you must then had a inkling of the route and what you were getting into. Anyway, again thanks for sharing this review with Yelp and Goggle and Viator. Reviews such as your helps other get a fair assessment. A hui hou, Micco/Head Guide

This tour has got to be one of my absolute favorite excursions I've ever done in my entire life!! I was in Kaua'i very shortly over a weekend with family, and we were looking for fun things to do as explorers. I came across this and booked it right away since this was something my family loved to do. It did take 5-6 hours, but every single second was worth it! From riding with our tour guide to the location, paddling down the river + in the ocean, snorkeling, lunch on the beach, and everything in between, this was definitely an experience my family will never forget. The whole team was super friendly, helpful, and overall just a total vibe. Our tour guide, Justice, was the coolest person who was super easy to get along with and definitely made our experience so easy/enjoyable. Izzy was also an absolute gem who was super helpful & such an amazing person. Overall, this tour was absolutely worth everything and if my family could do it again, we absolutely would!!

Aloha Kaitlyn, I remember you all! (I greeted the van when you arrived at Hanalei) You all paddled when we had our "guest guide" Izzy accompanying your guide Justice. Izzy is the toast of the Wailua River where she brings to all her tours an enthusiasm and aloha in her quest in guiding to the waterfall. For the active family our Hanalei Blue Lagoon paddle & snorkel is a terrific tour and very flattered that it has become a favorite excursion of you life; hope there are more memorable experiences to come for you to share with your familia; thanks for allowing us to be an instrument in your joy. A hui hou, Micco
