What To Expect

Wailua River State Park

Paddle the majestic Wailua River for 2 miles each way (4 miles total round trip), original home of the first Hawaiians, who paddled 1500 miles from the Marquesas Islands to Kaua`i almost 1500 years ago. Hear the legends and learn about the flora and fauna of Kauai`s most sacred area.

Secret Falls (Uluwehi Falls)

After hiking 1 1/4 miles through the rain forest our guides will take clients to Secret Falls also known as Uluwehi Falls. This beautiful waterfall cascades 110 feet into a refreshing swimming hole, where they can go for a dip and enjoy a terrific lunch! You will then hike 1 1/4 miles back to your kayak (2 1/2 miles of hiking round trip) Bring Closed Toed Shoes / Reef shoes / Teeva Style Sandals

Thanks so much for making yesterday such a great day. The instructions given prior to the booking were exactly as warned. The hike is long, there is mud (due to mother nature) and the river fierce but everyone was safe and the pictures turned out amazing! We had a great day. Turkey sandwiches and pineapple delicious.

We booked "Secret Falls Tour", described as an adventure, described as "Tours go out, rain or shine". We get up super early, get the family ready, and drive to the tour. On arrival they inform us the tour is cancelled due to "high winds". The trees are waving - nothing excessive. Later that morning we see other kayaks happily cruising along the calm river, (see attached photo). So fairly pathetic to cancel us with zero notice. But the most pathetic thing is their explanation as to why they didn't phone us to let us know and save us the time and gas of needlessly driving to the tour start point: "our company management doesn't allow international calls". WTF! So we spend $300 on your tours, but you won't spend a couple of bucks making an international call to my cell phone to inform me of the cancellation? Pathetic! Yes - they sent an email with cancellation as we were driving to the tour - not something I would read while driving. I thought Hawaii was set up for international tourism? Not impressed.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. We are working on getting international calling immediately. Safety is our #1 concern! In the past we have experienced falling trees and branches during windy days. We canceled tour due to it was a weather advisory that was posted at 3.33 am the morning on the date of your scheduled tour. Our office staff reported to work as schedule 6 am, and followed protocol. In accordance to State DLNR we are not to operate any tours if any weather advisories such as watch/warnings, thunder, lightning, flash flooding. We are sorry you seen others kayaking the river, unfortunately they were going against State permit policy in doing so. At which we have no control on another's company decision not to follow rules and regulations. We hope you have an amazing holiday season!
