What To Expect

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

Our guide, Thomas, was very knowledgeable about Kauai’s flora and history, and had a good sense of humor. The river was lovely to kayak, the hike was fun through the forest and the falls were spectacular. If you are a morning person, I highly recommend going as early as possible to beat the crowds!

Great half day tour - our guide Thomas was fantastic. I would recommend going early if possible because it gets busier mid-day. The kayak and hiking portion was great. The waterfall at the end was a bit underwhelming just because it was cold and fairly shallow, but that could be just the time of year we went. Our kids are 8 and 9 and it wasn't too difficult for them at all, overall a fun family experience.

Very scenic trip with an amazing guide. Zach clearly loved his job, was very knowledgeable and very entertaining. The water paddle up the river was nice but could be a bit strenuous for some. The hike was overall manageable but had some technical sections. We had children down to 11 years old and it wasn't too hard for anyone. Highly recommend this tour.
