What To Expect

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

Great workout. I went on this excursion solo and the kayak part especially proved very challenging. The tour guide could have done a better job at guiding the group. There was about eight of us but we were scattered all along the river at points. Less so for the hike. This made it difficult to hear elements of the tour if you were behind. One might need experience kayaking or hiking before attending.

The waterfall and short hike to get there was the best part of the experience. Our guide, Allen, was great. He clearly explained what would happen on the trip - and shared lots of stories about the river, the wildlife, and the island. We kayaked for about 45 minutes up the river and then walked slightly more than a mile on a trail along the river to get to the falls. We’re glad we had water shoes with good traction - but the hike was very manageable for the entire group. The secret falls are beautiful - and we relaxed, ate lunch, and enjoyed the area - no rushing. Some of the backrests in the kayaks need to be replaced (better backrests makes it easier to paddle) - but that was the only drawback on our trip. By the end of the afternoon we were the last tour group on the river - and it was very quiet and peaceful.

Ernesto and Micah were great tour leaders. Very informative and personable. We learned so much about Kauai’s history and culture and the incredible Waimea Canyon. Highly recommended.
