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

We had booked a Kayak/Falls trip with another company that was cancelled earlier due to flash flood warnings but they were booked and couldn't reschedule. I passed by Rainbow Kayak Tours, got online and reserved the remaining two spots. When we kayaked to the trail head it started raining. We hiked a short distance and Jake, our guide, made the tough call to not cross the first stream due to the rain and flash flood watches he had received. We turned around and met another group with another company and that guide decided to press on (we were later told by a third party that guides are supposed to respect the decisions of other guides). After lunch, my wife and I got back in the kayak and went upstream a few yards when we noticed the current picked up a little. We turned around and, after all of our group's kayaks were in the water, got surrounded by debris and rushing water. A flash flood had occurred. Since we had started back there were no problems but the other groups that were on the trail had their abandoned kayaks pushed out to the river. When we got back to the dock multiple boats were being put in to rescue the other groups, including the group that pushed forward. We didn't expect a full refund (we couldn't reschedule) because we had done the full kayaking and had lunch but a full refund was placed on our card without us even calling to discuss. Jake made the right call and we will certainly be using them again.

We did the secret falls tour. Our family of 5 enjoyed the tour and hike to the falls. As stated in the description, were good shoes as the hike can be slick. It's a nice kayak down the river, the falls are awesome, great guide, and you get a nice lunch to go along with it. For the most part it's a pretty laid back and enjoyable tour.

My family and I had a great experience kayaking down the river and hiking to the waterfall. Thomas was our guide, and he was WONDERFUL! Along the trail he would share all kinds of information about the plants and animals that inhabit the area. I would highly recommend Thomas and Rainbow Kayak Tours.
