Overview

This five-hour kayak and snorkel tour begins at a private dock on Hanalei River. Participants launch from the river and paddle downstream while guides explain the history of the Hanalei River and help everyone get comfortable in their kayaks. The group then moves out into Hanalei Bay, where they spend most of the tour observing Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles (Honu). After kayaking, the tour lands on a nearby beach for about 45 minutes of snorkeling with provided equipment. Guides teach about modern reef ecology and point out marine life to look for during the snorkel. Following snorkeling, a deli-style lunch and snacks are served on the beach. Guests can relax, eat, and ask questions to local guides who were born and raised in the area. The tour runs from 8:30 AM to 1 PM with an 8 AM check-in for fitting snorkel gear. Participants may bring their own full snorkel set but full face snorkel masks are not allowed. Lunch selections are requested by email after booking.
