What To Expect

Beautiful kayak trip, fun hike and absolutely breathtaking waterfall! Our guide had lots of fun stories to tell and pointed out interesting plants along the way. Lunch was way better than expected (our guide even found mango and Lilikoi along the trail for us to try). We had a great friendly group that set a good pace and would wait to make sure everyone caught up, which was helpful on the few muddy spots or tricky river crossings. Would highly recommend doing the early morning 7am tour — we got there about 10-20 minutes before other tour groups came flooding in and really enjoyed the tranquility of having the waterfall nearly to ourselves.

My wife and I loved this tour. We kayaked for about 45 minutes and then hiked to an amazing waterfall! We could not be happier that we did this tour. Swimming in the waterfall had to be the best part of our trip to Kaua’i! We would do this again when we revisit.

This was a great tour to Uluwehi Falls (aka Secret Falls) In Kauai. Our guide, Kate, was so nice and thoughtful. She made sure everyone felt comfortable and was safe during the entire trip. During the kayak portion you can go at whatever speed you want. The guide stays in the back to ensure the slower kayakers don't get lost. It was so beautiful. On the hike, our guide stays in front and she make frequent stops to make sure no one in our group was left behind. Once we got to the falls, she setup "camp" for us so we could leave our things and go enjoy the beauty that is the falls. Once we were done, she had our lunches out and even cut up some pineapple for everyone. Overall, it was an awesome experience and I'm glad we did it with a guide vs. going on our own! Well worth it!!
