Anini Beach is arguably the largest protected, navigable stretch of coastline in all Hawaii. This is a magnificent destination for kayakers. You’ll miles of shallow water as you glide above fish, turtles, and reef - all easily visible from your vantage point in the boat. This calm experience is made possible by a barrier reef protecting the coast from the rougher waters of the open ocean. You’ll see waves crashing harmlessly against this protective reef in the distance and seeing them breaking so far off only contributes to the feeling that you are in a sanctuary of nature’s making.

Wailua River is the most popular kayaking destination on Kauai, and it’s easy to see why. The word “Wailua” means two waters and the river is made of two streams which branch apart as you kayak up. Take the right fork to get to secret falls. You’ll find a rocky beach (big smooth rocks) where you can leave your kayak as you continue on foot - you’re in for a decent hike, and shoes are recommended!

Hanalei is an undeniably special place. The town hugs a very large and beautiful bay which is feed freshwater by Hanalei stream. The cool, calm water is collected in the mountains and brought to this gentle river. Once you’ve embarked you follow a bend in the river which, as you make your way around, reveals a stunning view of the mountain in the distance, often with high narrow waterfalls coming down as if from the sky itself.
