For 40 years, Kayak Kauai has been leading visitors on unforgettable adventures across Kauai’s rivers, coastlines, and trails. Founded by brothers Micco and Chino Godinez, the company grew out of a shared passion for exploration and a desire to share the island’s natural wonders.
It all began in 1980, when the brothers undertook a five-month expedition paddling from Seattle to Skagway, Alaska. Logging over 1,000 miles along the Alaskan Inside Passage, they paddled, dreamed, and planned what would eventually become Kayak Kauai. Four years and many adventures later, their dream became a reality.
Since then, Micco and Chino have paddled, camped, hiked, surfed, snorkeled, and explored every corner of Kauai. From towering Na Pali cliffs to serene Wailua River waterways, they’ve come to know and love the island’s many moods and landscapes. Their deep connection to Kauai and its natural beauty is the heart of Kayak Kauai, and it’s a passion they and their team share with every guest.
