Kayaked out 2 miles to hike to secret falls, then 2 miles back. Hike was about 3 miles out and back. Great distance and experience! Guide was very knowledgeable of area. Would suggest morning tour bc area was getting more crowded as time went on.
Fun and educational

We had a great time on the Kayak and Hike to Secret Falls tour. Our guide was “Kayak Zach” and he did a terrific job guiding our group of 12. We were two couples in our 50s/60s and the other folks in our group were a big family with two small children. Zach managed the different age groups/abilities with aplomb and a large repertoire of jokes. The two mile kayak journey (one way) was pretty easy and just a little more difficult on the return because of the headwind. Zach gave really good instructions and stayed with the less experienced kayakers. The 45 minute hike was fun but very muddy in places. It also included a river crossing and a couple of small streams so that helped wash most of the mud off. You want to wear a hiking sandal like Chaco or Teva. The hike finished at the “Secret Falls” (not a secret) which was stunning and a fun swim!
