About this tour

Travel by tandem kayak along the Hanalei River as a naturalist guide shares insights about the area's flora and fauna. Continue to the bay for a snorkel among the reef fish, with snorkel gear and a water-resistant bag provided. The six-hour experience also includes tropical juice and a deli sandwich lunch. Choose ham, turkey, salami, veggie, or peanut butter and jelly; turkey is the default if you do not submit a choice.

The Hanalei kayak and snorkel tour begins at the Wailua River Marina store at 8:00 am.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Kauai
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.1.
