The half-day adventure is an excellent way to explore a beautiful piece of Kauai. Our tour guide was professional and a great story-teller. After a short van ride to the river, our group of eleven guests selected 2-person kayaks and paddled 2.5 miles up the Wailua River. After landing on a sandy river beach, we hiked 1 mile to the falls along a lush path. The recent rains made the trail muddy, so we took care to avoid slipping on wet rocks. We wadded across a shallow river tributary and arrived at the falls ready for a swim. The pool at the bottom of the falls was cold and refreshing. On the pool banks, our group enjoyed an excellent lunch brought in by our guide. We then retraced our steps and paddles to return to our van. All of us had a great time!
