Wow, what an amazing time I had. This was my first trip to Kauai and I cannot wait to go back. I have to say that my kayak trip was the highlight of my vacation. From walking into the shop and being greeted by Adam, to spending quite a few hours with Aaron our guide - the trip was fabulous. Adam was pleasant and friendly and made me feel like I was a part of the Kayak Adventure Family. Aaron was by far the best guide I have had the pleasure to have been on a tour with. While Aaron is not a native of the island, it was obvious that he spent quality time learning the history of the island, fun facts, the language and spent time with natives from the island so that he could share his love of Kauai with guests and provide an experience one would never forget. Having worked many years in the travel industry and currently working in HR & the Recruiting field, I have to say this was a great experience with a fabulous staff who's goal is to ensure their guests have a memorable time. I would consider the staff top notch and would hire them to work for me if I could. The trip is a complete workout and if you can get Aaron as a guide you will laugh, see and hear about things that you would not expect and have the time of your life. I recommend going on the earliest tour of the morning so that you miss the crowds, and expect to get a little muddy on the trail if it rains. The mud is an added bonus.......sandwiches, fresh fruit, chips and cookies topped it off. If you are lucky you will get to meet the owner Gayle, who is passionate about her business and will do whatever it takes to make sure her guests have an experience that they will talk about for years to come. Thank you Kayak Adventures - Adam, Aaron and Gayle (only some of the kayak advent. family I had the pleasure to meet) for a great day. I will definately be back to do another trip with you.

Aloha,
We always love when reviews start with five stars and a WOW! That kind of feedback is awesome. You would really hire Gayle, Adam, and I? Always good to know we have options. If you think we rock, you should meet Kelly, Daniel, Chris, Davey, Thomas and Bobby. Not to mentions the hundred plus ohana (family) that support our operations on the front line. For the time being none of us plan on moving to Pennsylvania, but we have been discussing lately how boring the weather is. 78 partly cloudy with a chance of windward and mauka (mountain) showers for the annual outlook. Its tough but someones got to do it. Thanks for recognizing our concern for our guests. As a team, we strive daily to be the best. I also love the morning tours, but all tours times have special advantages. The summer months tourism is in full swing. Anything we can do to keep our guest off the beaten path. The Wailua Valley has many trails that majority of our competitors never use. We agree the mud is an added bonus. People pay big money to have mud squeezed on their body. all part of the adventure, no extra charge. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Mahalo
