Highly recommend this excursion. Communication from vendor was great, details, reminder, directions. The falls were a bit disappointing but related to lack of rain; but kayaking/hike was great particularly because of our guide, Levi. He gave us the Hawaiin experience. Info about environment, Hawaiian history; his traditional prayers, and the singing/ukulele were a bonus.

A great day, Levi was our guide and educator: he was fantastic. The kayaking was fun and the tour was so insightful as we hiked through the rainforest/jungle to get to the secret falls. Started at 8:45, back at the Coconut Mall by 2:45 so perfect for a cruise excursion.

Absolutely a memorable experience! We loved our guide, Levi Baclayon - who is very knowledgeable of true Hawaiian ancestry, faith, and culture. He is very kind, easy going, and carries a true aloha spirit!
