Paddling the Wailua River was one of the top 3 experiences on our trip, and Jonathan made it awesome instead of merely neat. He has the lowest prices, but best of all, he is the polar opposite of a one size fits all tour shop. My partner and I are experienced paddlers and really wanted to be able to do our own thing, and Jon was great — he hooked us up with boards, gave us exactly the info we needed based on our skill level(including convincing me that we should rent the whole day, not just the 3 hours I planned — he was so right, we stayed out almost 6 hours and loved every minute!), and then set us free for the day. And having been an instructor /tour guide of something myself, I can tell he’d be equally amazing with lessons and/or a guided tour — he has that calm assurance that lets beginners relax, and he’s a witty storyteller with a lot of knowledge about the area. I wish I could give six stars!

John was really easy to make arrangements with for delivery and pick up of paddle boards. Prompt too — as in minutes after I texted we were back. We had a great time paddling and hiking to the Secret Falls with our 11 year old. Use hiking shoes with good traction. Mine didn’t have great traction and I wished they did.

We went paddle boarding and rented paddle boards from John. John was absolutely amazing! So informative and helpful. Took photos of us, drove us to the location, gave us a 5 min review, gave us detailed safety rules and precise tips and directions. Came And waited for us late at night when we were running behind on time and gave us great tips on restaurants in the area. I would highly recommend him and go back to him to paddle board. The river was very steady and unlike California I did not fall once in the 3 hours my boyfriend and I were paddle boarding. We came across cows in the water and sunset was breathing. It was an amazing adventure and I recommend anyone to see John for any of your paddle boarding needs!

Contacted early morning on a Saturday and went paddle boarding within an hour after the initial call, it was great to be sporadic and Jonathan was super flexible as well. Jonathan went above and beyond and checked out the river to make sure it was safe to paddle that day(thunderstorms the night before), he also met us at the river and transported the boards to and from for us. Super reliable and very knowledgable about the river, paddle boarding and the island. I would highly recommend his services to anyone here. I must add I am over 6 months pregnant and felt entirely comfortable on his boards, they were large enough to maintain comfortable balance the entire time.

Jonathan was very friendly and helpful. Quick and easy into the water. Great price for a hassle free paddle on the Wailua and up to secret falls. We will be repeat customers when we return to Kauai again. Go with this place for a calm Sunday paddle!

Fantastic experience! Great price, great equipment, great information. Jonathan helped us load the boards on our rooftop and pointed us in the right direction which was only a minute up the street. Easy to launch from ramp into the wailua river. Safe parking. Fantastic experience paddling up the river a few miles. Beautiful scenery. Upon returning Jonathan met us at ramp and loaded the boards up for us. Easy! Save money and rent with this company! Will be back! Mahalo for the experience

My wife and I came to Kauai for our honeymoon. We had brought inflatable paddle boards with us that we had never used before. Jonathan was a terrific instructor, helping us learn how to put the boards in the water, how to stand up and stay up on the boards, and how to handle boat wakes. Once he had given us a little instruction he took us up the Wailua River past the Fern Grotto to the swimming hole. All the way he explained the foliage and helped us learn paddle boarding. He also gave us some great tips on local restaurants and activities. Overall a terrific first experience on a paddle board. And the river was beautiful.
