Great experience with very knowledgeable guides. Easy enough for beginners!
Our guide Gabe was extremely knowledgeable about the area and did a great job assisting our group. The river we kayaked down out to the ocean was beautiful. It was a really memorable experience.
This was a beautiful place to kayak and snorkel! The guides are knowledgeable and friendly too. Go far out to see turtles when you snorkel! Don’t stay close to shore. Heads up- the trip back is all upstream and takes quite a bit of energy at the end of the day when you go on the afternoon trip!
This was my favorite adventure on the north shore. Our guide, Kolo, was super knowledgeable and fun to tour with! We were in a group of about 12 and had our kids with us too. They did great on the adventure and we were able to use double kayaks. Such a memorable experience kayaking out into the ocean and snorkeling. Worth every penny!
The e guides were friendly, knowledgeable and gave us wonderful recommendations for local restaurants. The weather was perfect and the snorkeling was a lot of fun. We saw a few turtles swimming in the reef. Highly recommend this for your trip to Kauai.
We had a great kayak and snorkel adventure with Kolo. A little light rain on and off cooled us off. Water was super clear- we saw turtles, a ray and so many fish! Mahalo!!
The entire tour was phenomenal from start to finish. Our guide Gabe was fantastic and connected with everyone - he made a great tour even better. We learned history, traditions, and customs of Hawaii, saw beautiful scenery, and had the opportunity to see fish and sea turtles up close. My spouse and I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Gabe for sure!
It's like 2 experiences in one, kayaking plus snorkeling. Our guide, Gabe, was knowledgeable and fun to chat with. One of those people you just trust immediately.
Wonderful adventure on a last minute booking. Learned some culture of the local community and even more history. Didn’t get to see turtles in the ocean , because they were in the river. Well worth it.
Fun and informative about Kauai. The guides were wonderful. Highlight of the trip for our family!!!!
