Kalapaki Kai Live Music Sunset Cruise

Catamaran evening cruise.

We especially appreciated our captain, Stevie. He had a wealth of knowledge about local history, and the plants and animals of the area. He had good knowledge about the impact of imported plants on the environment. The music was good and so were the drinks. We had an excellent experience!

Great day!

We had such a wonderful day. The crew way very nice and set down with me to chat.they are very knowledgeable about the area, their family came from here! I have been on a helicopter tour before and it is very beautiful but it’s fast. On the boat you get to enjoy all the beauty all day and they take you to hard to see spots. The food was fresh and good.

Wonderful 3 part tour--Kayaking, Snorkeling, and Lunch on the Beach.

My kids and grandkids took this tour and absolutely loved it and would do it again. They were thrilled with the helpful guide and thoroughly enjoyed the Kayaking experience.Their favorite part was the snorkeling and seeing so many fish. Lunch on the beach was also a wonderful, relaxing treat for them. Thanks so much!! Outstanding tour!

Hanalei Bay PM Kayak & Snorkel in Kauai

Hanalei Kayak and Snorkel

The Kayak experience was fantastic our guide, Chance Kolo was fun and attentive and shared lots of history of his family and town. Unfortunately people were late and we started nearer to 3:00 rather than 2:00. We also returned nearer to 5:15 rather than 6:00. Overall it was a very enjoyable experience!

Hanalei Bay Morning Kayak and Snorkel Tour

mburckin, Aug 2026

Kayak Hanalei trip was super cool

Great tour! Our guide, Kolo is a Hanalei native who helped us learn about the area, the wildlife, share some great stories and play some music!The kayak is gentle, even when out in the bay it was pretty chill. The tide was low, so the snorkeling had to be careful around the coral, but we saw lots of cool fish, an octopus as well as a couple of turtles.Great experience overall!

Wailua River & Waterfalls Kayak Tour: Expert-Guided Adventure

Kayla, Aug 2026

A Magical Way To Spend Your Morning or Day

Kayaking up the Wailua River was a magical experience. The river is so serene, and filled with beautiful hibiscus flowers. It’s like a scene from a dream. The hike to the waterfall is a bit intense (mud, slippery rocks, fallen trees) but with the right footwear (reef shoes are ideal) and some patience it is a very rewarding hike. The waterfall is beautiful! We jumped in and swam under the fall, very refreshing. The lunch was delicious, especially after all the activities. The sandwiches and fresh pineapple really hit the spot. Our guide, Thomas, was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, sharing with us secrets of the forest. I would suggest going with the earlier morning tours, as it begins to get very hot in the afternoon. An overall beautiful time, highly recommend!

The crew (Jake, Lauren, Chad) were so nice and super fun to be on the boat with. They made the cruise so fun and checked on us throughout the entire trip and made sure we got the best pictures, had drinks and served us a great dinner. We've been on several cruises between all the islands and I think this was by far the best one. The captain, Evan was super cool too and knew so much about the Hawaiian culture and history. His music was good too and my family could not have had a better time! I would recommend this excursion to anyone coming to Kauai!
