5.00This is a fabulous trip! You spend the first part of the trip l kayaking on the beautiful Wailua River then you dock your kayak for a nice hike through a wooded area to the beautiful “ Secret Falls” where you can relax and swim at the base of the waterfall before you hike and kayak back. We had a beautiful day on the river and our guide Sam was awesome! He shared a lot of information about the island and made our trip super fun. Highly recommend this trip!
Beautiful kayak and hike...

5.00A great experience! Our guides were awesome! They were both funny and informative. The kayaking portion was easy if you've paddled before and hike was short and easy. There are a few water crossings but they were not difficult. Swimming under the waterfall was such a fun experience.

5.00The trip was perfect. The kayaking was beautiful and the hike was a lot of fun! Our guide Mana was absolutely brilliant. He told us a lot of very cool stories about the island and made it a very interesting hike. The mud was a lot of fun to hike through.
Best Kayak tour around!

5.00Everything was very organized and started right on time. After a brief intro, we were off and paddling on our way. It was a little crazy finding a parking place before the start of the hike with the kayaks, but we managed OK. The hike was awesome and our guide, (I think his name was Mona) gave us great details about the area and vegetation. The waterfall was awesome. Make sure you have on good water shoes as the rocks here are very sharp. After a short break, it was time to let the next groups come and enjoy this beautiful place. On our way back there were 2 kayaks in our group with small children who could not keep up, so it was a little confusing about where to stop. Our guide coordinated things to get them out of trouble, and we all made it safe and sound back to the waiting van. Just a reminder for folks that there is no place to keep things from getting wet. But you could bring a small backpack and bungee it to the kayak and it will get wet.
