Kayak Zack did an excellent job keeping everyone motivated for a full day’s activities and showing us lots of little things along the way. Highly recommend!

Annie was an excellent guide! 2.5 mile paddle in, short hike, swim in waterfall, 2.5 paddle back (against wind!). I’d say you’d need to be moderately physically fit to do this excursion. The hike has some tricky footy, crossing streams, through tall grass. Annie took photos of us, educated us about Kauai’s natural beauty, and gave us great recommendations.

We had such a fun experience! Our tour guide was Zack, who I believe is the best! He was super fun and friendly, and taught us many things about the vegetation, Kauai culture & history, and even gave us lots of great recommendations for the area. Additionally, he shared great tips to improve our kayaking techniques. Even our 15-year-old daughter had a great time, and she is not easily pleased! This was such a fun trip, and was manageable for all in our group. I would highly recommend this to all!
