Nathan was a wonderful guide. The kayaking and hike was moderate and does require some baseline fitness level. Would not do if any knee or hip or shoulder injury. Have to kayak 4 miles and the hike is rocky muddy and have to cross a river but the water fall is gorgeous and worth it

Nathan was great, very knowledgeable about the island and made for an excellent tour. It is a somewhat strenuous paddle when going into the wind but very doable. The waterfall is nice, but not overwhelming.

Levi was our guide and he was AMAZING. He talked story and serenaded us with Hawaiian prayers and ukulele tunes along the way. This was the highlight of our trip. He made us feel safe and kept us laughing and entertained the whole time. Mahalo nui loa, Levi!

Such a fantastic experience! Levi was a spectacular guide who did a great job of engaging with my whole family throughout the experience. Be sure to bring proper water shoes/hiking sandals to make the hike and visit to the falls a little easier on your feet. The kayaking was calm and beautiful and the bike was very manageable… especially with the amazing hiking stick that Levi found for me as we set out. Will definitely recommend this to friends and family visiting the island.
