My husband and I were part of a group of 12 that had the distinct pleasure of Anya as our guide. We had the early morning schedule which included "fun size" as she call herself inform us of the local flora/fruit and educated along the river and the trail. We highly recommend this tour operator and especially our guide Anya. We will be letting all of our frineds and co-workers know that if visiting Kauai, do partake in the Rainbow Kayak Adventures from Kappa to Wailua River. The kayaking and hiking included amazing views. Anya was enlightening and fun to have as our guide. You won't regret this tour- just go for it! as Anya told us...embrace the mud!

Thomas(our tour guide) was awesome. The kayak and hike portions were moderate. The waterfall was amazing. But, Thomas and his knowledge made this trip our favorite. Highly recommend this trip and company. Very professional and courteous.

The trip was beatiful and you should absolutely see the river, the short hike and the waterfall! However our tour felt way too rushy. Tourguide was constantly pushing to move on and had very little stories to tell to make it worth the 90$. We had about 10 minutes at the waterfall, which was too short. I'm not sure why it needed to be that way and if the tourguide is to blame. Other groups were taking it much slower. If the trip cannot be completed in 4 hours (+1 for packing, driving, launching), then I would recommend to find a different way. I would rent my own kayaks, possibly halfway upstream.
