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 1/2 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 1/2 miles back to your kayak (3 miles of hiking round trip). TRAIL CONDITIONS CAN VARY DEPENDING ON WEATHER. THERE WILL BE 4 RIVER CROSSINGS WITH LOOSE ROCKS IN RIVER BED THAT YOU WILL NEED TO CROSS AND UNPAVED TRAIL ON YOUR TREK TO THE WATERFALL. AND KEEP IN MIND YOU WILL CROSS THEM ON THE TREK BACK AS WELL. FOOTWEAR IS COMPLETELY SUBMERGED IN WATER DURING YOUR ADVENTURE. Bring Closed Toed Shoes / Reef shoes / Teeva Style Sandals

The half day kayak and hike to the Secret Waterfall was spectacular. Our tour guide Zach was knowledgeable in the islands history as well as the plants and trees we encountered along our route (although his dad jokes were painful :)). The hike was a bit strenuous but all in all not too bad. Zach made sure we moved at a pace that allowed us plenty of time to enjoy the breathtaking waterfall while not risking injury due to slippery rocks along the path. BE SURE TO WEAR THE PROPER FOOTWEAR. A great day and well worth the cost and energy expended. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a great time with our tour guide Sierra. If you enjoy kayaking, hiking, and nature, this is a must-do activity during your stay at Kauai. The small lunch at the waterfall was pleasing. They will also provide dry bags and water. Do not bring spray on sunscreen as the chemicals have been a major cause of damage to the corals, wear lotion-based sunscreen to minimize the impact on this fragile environment.

Kayak Zak was a marvelous guide and is a fledgling stand up comic! I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon paddling the river, hiking through the jungle and the opportunity to swim beneath the waterfall. Wear waterproof hiking shoes/sandals and a swimsuit. If unaccustomed to kayaking consider that it will be a strenuous upper body workout. The hike is relatively flat, but you will be crossing shallow streams. Beware of slippery rocks. A walking stick is very helpful.
