We had a great time kayaking down the river, and then a brief ocean kayak before snorkeling on the beach.
Highly recommend!

This was my first time but the host was an absolute doll while kayaking she was giving us a bit of history of certain things, she was very informative very helpful and wonderful all together. If I come back and do this again I would definitely choose them to have her and her amazing personality. Thank you for showing us a good time.
Make sure you are prepared for all the rowing definitely hurts after a while
Aloha Nett,
All our guides are great, informed and fun…but from what you say, I think Annie was your guide.
Annie is exuberant and a joy to work with and clients clamor for her.
We try on all our tours to leave you informed and thoughtful and hopefully with not too many sore muscles.

Aloha Mandee,
Jay runs our river and ocean department and we try as much as possible to get him back in the water and when he does he always gets nice reviews as yours.
Thanks for sharing you experience with him on our Blue Lagoon tour, which is one of our "secret tours".

Aloha K Mag,
Thanks for sharing our "secret" Hanalei Blue lagoon Paddle and Snorkel.
Great guiding by Samuel is getting the word out.
The panorama snorkeling below and the view above of Hanalei is unrivaled.

This was our third try to get this ride. Weather kept us from seeing this amazing island and coast. This time…oh my! The weather cooperated and we were given quite a tour. Our pilot, Duke, was terrific. Duke was so knowledgeable about the island. Plus, Jurassic Park soundtrack. Go ahead and splurge for the front seats…you will not be disappointed! We recommend this flight for everyone. Blue Hawaiian is terrific!

I was torn between choosing a helicopter or this option, but this was the right choice. I am very satisfied with this experience at this price. The scenery was wonderful. I was worried about getting motion sickness, but it was fine.
ヘリコプターとどちらにしようか迷いましたが、こちらで正解でした。この価格でこの体験は大満足です。すばらしい景色でした。酔うのではと心配でしたが、大丈夫でした。

Would do this again in a heartbeat! The views were like nothing I’ve ever seen before!
We took our family of 5 (we have 3 boys) my 8 and almost 4 year old loved it but my 2.5 yr old had a hard time. And I couldn’t figure out what was wrong. I’m thinking ears not adjusting to the height or maybe even motion sickness. But he did not do good. He’s usually a very very easy going toddler. So keep that in mind if you have young children. I would love to do it again without my kids so I could enjoy the breathtaking views without stress

I participated with my mother.
Both the customers and the staff were very kind, and we were blessed with good weather, making it a wonderful experience.
Route:
The route included Poipu Beach, Waimea Canyon, the Na Pali Coast, the North Shore, the forested areas in central Kauai, and a loop around the island of Kauai.
Meeting Place:
The meeting place is the terminal next to the passenger terminal at Lihue Airport, where cargo flights take off and land. There is a map link included in the notification email, so I don't think there will be any mistakes. Once everyone has gathered, there will be a safety briefing.
Expected Level of Turbulence:
The flight I boarded had relatively calm winds, so there was little turbulence like free-fall (I felt a drop of about 30 centimeters three or four times). Additionally, if you are prone to motion sickness, you can inform the staff at check-in, and they will change your seat to one in the back.
母親と2人で参加しました。
お客さんもスタッフさんもとても優しく、天気にも恵まれ、大変良い体験ができました。
航路:
ポイプビーチ、ワイメアキャニオン、ナ・パリコースト、ノースシォア、カウアイ島中心部の樹林帯とカウアイ島を一周する航路でした。
集合場所:
集合場所はリフエ空港旅客機ターミナルの隣のカーゴなどが離発着するターミナルになります。
事前の通知メールにマップのリンクもついていますので、間違えることはないかと思います。
全員揃ったことを確認して、安全に関する案内があります。
期待の揺れ具合:
搭乗した便は風が比較的穏やかな時間だったので、フリーフォールのような揺れ方は少なかったです。(大体30センチ程度落ちる感覚が3,4回ありました。)
また、酔いやすい人は受付で申告すると後ろの席にチェンジしてくれます。

Our pilot Marcus was wonderful! Our family of 4 got headsets so we could hear about all the landforms and points of interest we flew to. We got to see sides of the island that boats and helicopters don’t typically get to in addition to the big wow locations like the Napili coast, Waimea Canyon, remote beaches, and waterfalls. We felt totally safe the whole flight and would recommend this tour to everyone!

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.

The meeting place was a bit hard to find... There are companies with similar names, it's set back, the sign is small, and it shares a building with several travel agencies. Other than that, the explanations were clear, and both the pilot and the receptionist were efficient and kind. It was quieter than the helicopter and Beachcraft. I used it on the third day after my arrival. I had driven around the Waimea Canyon area on the second day, so I had a rough idea of the island's geography, but from the air, the vastness of the canyon, the flowing water, the dry red soil, the green forests, and the savanna-like low shrubs and short plant colonies were all clearly defined and dynamic under the sun.
I have a desire to challenge myself with several trekking courses, but by the time I finally had some free time, I wasn't confident in my legs and back, so I was glad I chose the scenic flight for safety. The top of Mount Waialeale (the highest point on Kauai) was covered in clouds, so I couldn't see it, but it was a day with few clouds, allowing me to overlook almost the entire island. I was very satisfied.
集合場所がちょっとわかりづらい・・・かな。 似たような名前の会社もあり、奥まっている、看板が小さい、いくつかの旅行会社とシェアしている建物だったので。
それ以外は、説明もわかりやすく、パイロットさんも受付さんもテキパキ親切。ヘリコプターやビーチクラフトよりも静かです。利用したのは到着から3日目。2日目にワイメアキャニオン周辺をドライブしたので、おおよその島の地理は頭に入っていたけれど、空中からですと、キャニオン部分の広さや、水の流れている場所、乾いた赤土と緑の森、サバンナのような低木と背の低い植物のコロニー、太陽の下、しっかり色分けされていてダイナミックでした。
いくつものトレッキングコースに挑戦したい気持ちはありますが、ようやく暇になった頃には足腰に自信が無く、安全第一で遊覧飛行を選んで良かったです。
ワイアレアレ山(カウアイ島で一番標高が高い)の頂部分だけは、雲に覆われていて眺めることができませんでしたが、ほぼ全島が見渡せるほどに雲が少ない日でした。大満足です。
