It was wasted money. We drove with the guides 45min to Hanalei. There we walked relatively long along the public beach to the kayaks and started to kayak in the river next corner. Nothing spectacular and you can see ever...

A. No, however, if you don't know how to swim you are required to wear a life jacket.
Q. Are you required to wear a life jacket?
A. No, there are on board but you don't have to wear it. If you are 12 and under, they like the parents to make sure they wear one but again it's not required.

A. There is a minimum of four (4) people needed to confirm the tour but average group sizes range between 6-8 people. A maximum of up to 15 people can be accommodated.
Q. What if the kayak flips over?
A. Your guides are fully trained to flip it back over, get you back in your kayak and make sure that you are safe.
Q. Is this activity suitable for children?
A. Yes, both of these packages are excellent options for children although we do not recommend it for those children under 5 years old. For the Blue Lagoon Extra there is no discounted children's rate like there is for the Blue Lagoon Paddle & Snorkel, each person must pay for one seat.

A. This activity is rated easy to moderate and is very relaxing and safe. Participants should be comfortable in the water. This tour includes between three to five hours of easy paddling and snorkeling.
