We loved our time together on the beautiful Wailua River with perfect weather conditions. We hit the jackpot with Izzy as our guide. She was so helpful and fun with great stories. Thank you.

We opted for the paddle-only kayaking because we had my 87-year-old mother with us. Our guide, Justice, did a great job getting us down and back the calm river. It was a gentle and relaxing ride and everyone enjoyed it. We were given snacks and a drink for the trip and fresh pineapple when we got back. It was a warm day, but we could splash ourselves with cool river water.

While the scenery was beautiful, the guide dis nothing to describe what we were seeing. It was a very disconnected experience.

We really enjoyed our Kayaking adventures with Izzy. She did a great job, took great care of us and made this a memorable experience. The scenery is beautiful and a great addition to our Kauai vacation. We definitely recommend this activity and, if you are really lucky, you can spend your time with Izzy, as we did.

It was a beautiful, relaxing, informative trip. We were amazed at Tyler's knowledge of the plant life on the river and his overall knowledge of Kauai's history and culture. He is an excellent guide, very sociable and did everything to make sure our group had a wonderful experience .

Unfortunately the trip details were very unclear on their website. This tour has zero stops and you are confined to the kayak for up to three hours. We were not told this until the morning of so we were out several hundred dollars. Much better to just rent your own kayak so you can do your own thing.

The river paddle was just what we were looking for and Sarah, our guide, was very knowledgeable and informative about the area

We got lost negotiating the way to Kayak Kauai, and one of the staff called us to help us negotiate temporary road closures, so we wouldn't miss the trip. It was a warm and gracious start to the afternoon. Our guide, Sarah, filled the trip with historical information and stories. She was another warm and adventurous presence, and made the afternoon pure delight. I would book another trip with them in a heartbeat.

One of the best activities I had in the island: 4.5 Mike's paddling on the river plus 2.5 miles hike to get toba beautiful waterfall where you can swim. Sara, our guide was amazing! Super nice and sweet and knows everything about the island. Definitely highly recommend Kayak Kauai for you next adventure in Kauai.

Steven_A

Great experience as advertised. Sarah, the kayak guide, was great! Had a fun paddle on the river and opening a coconut.
