What are people saying about Hanalei Bay
Josh_P, Sept 2023
Unforgettable memories!
This was a awesome excursion that was one of the best decisions we made in our visit to Hawaii. Getting to kayak through the beautiful scenic river and snorkel into the ocean was amazing. The coral reef and sea life we saw made this experience an unforgettable one.
We have done activities like this in the past but this one was really special and we thought for the price it was of great value!
Caye_C, Sept 2023
Do it!
The scenery was fantastic and Harrison was an excellent guide along the way. Sandwich never tasted so good after a paddle. One of our most memorable days!
Kolawole_A, Sept 2023
This was a fun tour. It...
This was a fun tour. It was moderate in activity level so good for the whole family to enjoy. My guide Harrison was patient and knowledge. We didn't leave until spotting some sea turtles 😄.

Hanalei Bay Happy
Learning the history of the area and the surrounding mountains. Favourite part was learning that the song I've known since childhood (Puff the Magic Dragon) originated here in Hanalei Bay. The snorkeling was great!
