This is everything advertised and more! Met our awesome guide Brian and drove to the Marina. We took the 7am tour which I highly recommend as there are fewer people on the water and the weather is much milder at that time. Brian got our kayaks set up and off we went. They provide dry bags for your water, snacks, phones, etc. There were 8 of us total, plus Brian. It's a nice 2 mile about an hour kayak ride up to the landing to park the kayaks. It's a very muddy, wet hike up to Secret Falls. You will cross a river by foot. You may not want to wear shoes you care about. Make sure they are sturdy. Brian had a stash of walking sticks which were essential for hiking in the mud! I lost my footing a couple of times. You'll hike through the jungle for about a half hour or more until you reach the Falls. Brian was so great about sharing tips and information about the area along the way. Once we arrived, we had about a half hour there. Enough time to have a snack and swim out and under the Falls, which everyone in our group did. Don't forget to wear your swimsuit under your clothes and bring a towel. Brian was great about taking our photos too. Then hiked back to our kayaks and back to the Marina. A highlight was seeing Brian feed the ducks who cleary know him! along the river and spotting 2 White-tailed Tropicbirds. What an amazing adventure!
Definitely harder than expected. The hike was extremely difficult for anyone with balance, knee, hip, leg issues. The waterfall was ok but nothing spectacular to see. The kayaking was fun but with a time limit you have to keep a steady pace or you fall behind- not for someone just learning. The guide did a great job pointing out interesting facts and was very helpful along the way.
