All you have to do is show up at our exclusive location and it's fun time! Our guides will setup all your equipment and will stay with you every step of the way. Adventure seekers should be comfortable in the water and should expect a 4-mile round trip paddle and a moderate 2-mile hike to the waterfall.

    No running water fall to begin with. All other outdoor guides canceled due to high risk to flash flooding. It was nothing more than a abort plan once we were about to arrive at the final destination. Host was pleasant and knowledgeable. Would rather of it being canceled! No before you go.

  • Great fun but no waterfall.

    It was a fun adventure and a real immersion into the lushness of nature. Our guide Mana was great, our safety was paramount and his knowledge of the river and forest was great. The only reason it’s not a 5 is because there is no waterfall. Only a literal dribble or sprinkles! I wonder how long it’s been dry? It had rained hours earlier but still only a dribble. Take a walking stick (esp women or those not sure-footed). The path can be muddy and slippery! Fun adventure though!

    I paid a lot of money to kayak to see no waterfall. Staff knew the waterfall was dry and never told customers or even offered a discounted price. So apparently I paid a few hundred dollars to Kayak. I would have appreciated a warning the their was no waterfall because of a drought or a discounted price because there was no experience of anything other than kayaking. If I would have known I wouldn't have paid that much money willingly.
