We loved this very authentic and cultural way to hear about the island and get a really fun group snorkeling experience hosted by two amazing hosts. Kala and Kolu were both super fun, friendly and knowledgeable about the islands and their job. Couldn’t recommend this enough! Saw 6 turtles, tons of fish and an octopus!
Our Hawaiian family takes great pride in sharing Hanalei’s rich history and culture with you. Our ocean-river combo tour departs from our private dock and will take you to a hidden beach. Learn to snorkel in the clear blue Pacific amongst our abundant marine life. Or simply eat lunch or snacks, “talk story” and relax on the beach. This is a great family friendly tour for ages 5 years and up.

We loved our kayak and snorkel adventure. This was our first tour right after we arrived and what a way to start! The kayaking was peaceful and we learned a ton about Hawaiian history, land, and customs from our guide. The snorkeling was amazing- we saw a ton of fish and a couple of sea turtles. I’d recommend this to anyone looking to experience the magic of the ocean of Hawaii!

Fantastic! Great guides and explanation of the culture in the area. It was a great Kayak add into open ocean and then we went snorkeling. To top it off while we were having lunch the guides played on the ukulele, hands-down, a fantastic memory for us and the kids.

The guides were very helpful, watched out for those who were inexperienced, and assisted as needed. Office was helpful when our rental car wouldn’t start. All around the best that could be asked for.
