One of my favorite things to do in Hanalei is to go kayaking the Hanalei river, so I made sure to spend a half day out on the water with my family during this trip.
There are many kayak shops in Hanalei where you can rent kayaks, but for me the most convenient shop is Kayak Hanalei located on Kuhio highway at the entrance of Hanalei town.
