The Hanalei river and Bay has to be some of the most panoramic paddling on our small island.

Glad you enjoyed our Hanalei blue Lagoon paddle and snorkel.

自然豊かなカウアイ島を満喫することができました。本当に良い想いをさせてもらいました。

シダの洞窟や太平洋のグランド・キャニオンと呼ばれるワイメア渓谷はもちろん、道中にて見える渓谷や滝なども見ることができます。ランチのサンドイッチも美味しかったです!また、自然豊かな場所に加えカウアイコーヒーショップに寄ることができます。とても飲みやすいコーヒーを飲むこともできます。ドライバー兼ガイドの方も気さくですし、運転も上手です。今後も旅行の際にはPolynesian Adventureさんのツアーに申し込みたいと思いました。

Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure

Awesome adventure for our family of 4!

Reviewed by: Jamie Straatsma

My husband and two teenagers loved this kayak adventure! Our guides were very friendly, funny and calm. Jay was very informative and gave us a wonderful history lesson on the island and its culture. He did a wonderful job preparing us for our journey and guiding us through the river and ocean. We did make the journey to the farthest beach on the ocean and it was well worth it! We snorkeled with some sea turtles and enjoyed our time at the beach.

It was a great way to finish up our trip on Kauai. I appreciate all that our guides did to inform us and keep us safe as well as teach us about the island and its culture. I would highly recommend this!

Aloha Jamie,

You went on our other "Secret Tour"!

Our Hanalei Blue Lagoon is slowly getting more recognition and Jay and our other rive/ocean guides are very responsible for this trend.

Jay is great in the field and to work with and as the summer season comes up with us, often is guiding and sea kayaking the more rigorous Na Pali coast.

Thanks for sharing your kind words, as I will with Jay.

Stay active and well.

Great crew. They did underestimate the difficulty of the kayaking in the ocean to the snorkeling beach. Very tough for some in my group. Otherwise great day. Food OK.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Larry,

We try to be candid in all our tours about the intrinsic effort and matching folks to the right tour.

Yesterday, clients on the same tour, felt while they did not need a guide to get to the snorkeling beach off Hideaways, that having the guide(s) made for a richer experience.

That said your review helps others choose the correct tour.

In spite the toughness…thanks for giving us 4 stars.

Waimea Canyon Sightseeing Tour & Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Lunch

Informative tour for first timers in Kauai

Reviewed by: NMP

My family and I had never been to Kauai and I wanted to book this tour as it had some fun things to do. Rosario was a great tour driver, very funny and knowledgeable and safe driver. We went to Opaekaa Falls, then went on a river cruise on the wailua river to the fern grotto (while on the boat we learned how to hula and enjoyed listening to the smith family singing and dancing hula). Then we went to Waimea canyon aka the Grand Canyon of the pacific- pictures do not do it justice. Very breathtaking. Then we went to kauai coffee plantation where we sampled amazing coffee and finally went to see the spouting horn. Overall a great tour with Rosario

Kayak Kauai Hanalei River & Blue Lagoon Kayak & Snorkel Adventure

Great kayaking tour, not-so-great snorkeling tour

Reviewed by: Jams

Kayaking the Hanalei River was magestic! The tour guides were fun and interesting and knowledgable! When we got to the snorkeling place, it seemed like it would be good - lots of reef, but then it was not as good as it seemed. I think the reef was too high in the sense that you could only snorkel around the coral, not above it as I'm used to, so if you don't find the "channel" (there are several false leads/dead-ends) then you may get stuck on top of the coral which means you may have to step on it, which you're not supposed to do! This is particularly challenging with children. The gear was all one-size-fits-no-one really well. I thought there would be children's sized gear so we didn't bother bringing the cheap children's gear that we purchased earlier in the week - I thought the tour would have better gear. All-in-all, we barely snorkeled! But otherwise, the tour was lovely!

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Jams, Thanks for your nice, informative and fair review. Glad the guides, panorama, setting that is Hanalei made up for the disappointing snorkeling. At times depending on weather snorkeling, once in a while can be a “hit or miss”. Glad the guides were stil able to fun you. With small children we encourage folks to bring those cheap snorkeling gear that you mentioned. Stay well and thanks again for taking the time to share.

As someone who had never been to Kauai before, I booked this tour as a way for my boyfriend and I to get acclimated to the island. We were so lucky to have Kana e, a wonderful native tour guide, as our driver and tour guide. She made the entire day so much fun, and extremely interesting. We both loved her stories of the island, of her family, and her enthusiasm. I greatly recommend this tour, especially if you can have a native guide as good as Kana e!!

We enjoyed the Waimea Canyon Tour. The coach driver was friendly, funny, and informative.

The Wailua River Cruise was disappointing and boring. The driver of the boat had no enthusiasm in his voice and the visuals of the river were unimpressive. Since you can no longer enter the Fern Grotto cave, this stop is no longer amazing as it used to be.
