This was such a great tour! We were new to Kauai and I was looking for a fun tour for me and my husband and this one was perfect. We had Kolo as our guide and he was just fantastic. It is a great tour down the river to a beautiful beach for snorkeling. Kolo made it very special by his knowledge of the area and also performing a few songs on his Ukulele while we ate lunch on the beach. Such a lovely and unique experience. They are very organized and make everything pretty easy for tourists. I would definitely recommend this tour.

I wasn’t sure that we would enjoy all the elements of the trip!! We did! It was absolutely the highlight of our all our visits. This our 10th. The guides were engaging and helpful. The scenery amazing. I would recommend it to anyone!!

Devon_M

This was an amazing experience! Our guides Kolo and Gabe were very knowledgeable about flora and island history and paused the journey to share interesting information at the perfect moments along the way. We even had the chance to taste various edible vegetation harvested from trees and bushes along the river. The snorkeling experience was unforgettable! We saw many hanu and almost all the fish from the Hawaiian reef wildlife card. Just awesome!

Patricia_G

Turtles, octopus, and Kolo’s eloquent story-telling and ukulele serenade! This was a perfect day for a paddle and snorkel. Kolo is a terrific tour guide - well-informed, engaging, patient with beginners, and a great story teller. This will be one of our best memories.

Glenn_M

Kolo , our guide was a friendly, kind and knowledgeable guide. He took time to give us history of the area. He made us all feel safe and cared for. He even towed in an old we solo traveled when she was too tired to make her way all the way back. All in all, a great trip. Sea turtles and everything!

Lisa_L

The kayak down the river to a spot to snorkel was second to none. We saw a variety of fish and swam with sea turtles. Our guide was born and raise on Kauai and was so knowledgeable and informative. It was an amazing tour!

Worth every penny. If you dont have a lot of time on Kauai, this tour is awesome and has a bit of everything. We have only kayaked once ever before, so we are really inexperienced. You will get wet so go in swim clothing, water shoes and lots of sunblock. We started off kayaking on the river where you will get amazing views of the river bank, and eventually out into the shallow sea near the Hanalei bay. The tour guides were funny, energetic and knowledgeable (Ko'Le and Gabe), and shared many of the local history and nearby mountains. We snorkeled briefly after landing near a beach near the 1 hotel, and saw many colorful fish, had lunch they prepared and kayaked back. The whole tour took about 4 hours but you felt like you have been there for a while. An awesome way to spend an afternoon in Hanalei. There's lotta food and stores in the town of Hanalei, and coffee spot right next door. It was our first time on the island, and this happened on the 2nd day of our trip, couldnt have done it any better. What a gorgeous and incredibly safe tropical jungle

Patricia_A

The kayaking was fun and the scenery was spectacular. The best part of the adventure was our guide....by far. Kolo was our guide and he was so much fun and informative. I was not expecting him to be so knowledgeable about the surrounding mountains and the Hawaiian history lesson that accompanied the kayaking. He is an amazing ambassador of his Hawaiian culture. I can't say enough wonderful things about this young man. At lunchtime he pulled out his ukulele and sang beautifully some Hawaiian songs. I am definitely coming back just so I can hang out with Kolo and learn more about the Hawaiian culture and the history of Kauai.

Gabe was our guide for the day. He was great! It was so thoughtful of him to take pictures and videos and share them with us. He had lunch for us, even brought his own coconut for everyone to have coconut water! Snorkeling was great and saw so many cool fish! He was a wealth of knowledge, and so funny! My kids really had a blast and have talked about what a great guide he was!
