Made the trip! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, personable and just a fun guide. Would definitely recommend Lost Paddle Rafting to all ages and groups.

Coming from Honolulu, HI, we had no experience. .ost of my lady friends were scared, but our guides (Lawrence & Steve) reassured us we were in good hands. We began with a simple lesson on how to paddle and instructions to follow. We fulfilled/checked off a bucket list item that could not be accomplished in Hawaii. Mahalo to the staff who were professional, courteous and accommodating.
Great run for Rookie rafters and intermediates

Our guide Stephen was absolutely amazing. He was so knowledgeable on how to keep us safe while having a lot of fun. We were able to ask him questions about the local flora and fauna, which he was also very knowledgeable on. It is locally owned by an amazing, hardworking family with amazing guides. I couldn’t recommend this place more. It is definitely worth the value, if not more.
