Kayak & Hike In Kauai With Local Guides

Why tour with a guide?

Your vacation time on Kaua’i is very valuable. Surely your guide will know the way and not get you lost. Here are some other reasons why Kauai kayaking is better with a guide:

  • With Ali‘i Kayaks, your guide keeps it simple. Our kayak tours take the hassle out of your day. Our guides will prepare all the equipment for you and help get you set up for your adventure.
  • Guides will be with you for the duration. After a thorough safety briefing and basic instructions, your guide will assist you with your launch. They’ll accompany you for the duration of your tour, providing assistance where needed. Individuals must have the ability to propel themselves using basic paddling techniques.
  • Safety. You can feel safe with all Ali‘i Kayaks’ guides who are Water Safety Instructed, as well as CPR and First Aid certified. They will lead you safely throughout the entire tour.
  • Mana‘o. In Hawaiian the word mana‘o means knowledge. Also, all guides are “local boys” who are very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in the area. Your guide will take you back in time and tell you why Wailua is such a special and sacred area to the Hawaiian people. Enjoy this tour and experience the true “Aloha Spirit”.

Some of our guides are experienced fishermen and you may get a chance to see them catch freshwater prawns, mullet, and tilapia.
