Hanalei River and Bay Exploration
A in-depth Exploration of the Hanalei River, Bay, and
Estuary
Summer Special
4 Paddler minimum
A 5-hour guided paddle, surf, and snorkel tour ...departing
from the
Hanalei River & Bay...and exploring the off shore reefs, coastal
caves, shores, streams, and in shore waters of Hanalei Bay.
Departing from our dock on the Heritage river of Hanalei, we
paddle down the calm idyllic and scenic Hanalei river out to Hanalei
Bay with magnificent panoramic views to the west of Makana Peak (better
known as Bali Hai) and to the south , views of the fluted ridges of
Namolokama, Mamalahoa, and Hihimanu peak, which lie like silent
sentinels whose waterfalls, drop gourds of water into the verdant
valley of Wai'oli, which lies behind the town of Hanalei. As you paddle
out the Hanalei river mouth you will pass the historic Hanalei Pier, so
important to the early agricultural economy of the North Shore.
We can paddle west along the perimeter of the sandy shores of
Hanalei Bay or across the bay and explore the sea stack and little
known sea caves between Wai'Koko and the beautiful cove of Lumahai. If
sea conditions allow, a little further around the corner, we can land
at the classic beach/cove of Lumahai made famous in the movie, South
Pacific.
Given time or inclination, we can also/instead venture to the
East and paddle towards Ani'ni and land at the picturesque sandy beach
of Hideaways, for some great snorkeling or surf kayaking off shore.
We often see sea turtles and dolphins accompanied often by the
avian antics of such birds as the Boobie and Layson Albatrosses. Shore
birds and river birds such as the Wandering Tattler, Gallinule and
Black Capped night heron are often seen.
With lunch included we have time to do it all: from blue water
paddling to snorkeling, bird watching, beach combing, exploring some
tide pools and caves, ...all during a memorable day of sea kayaking.
Rated: This activity is rated "moderately
challenging".
