Kayaking up the river definitely made us sweat! But my wife sets a mean pace so…The hike is definitely slippery. You will need the walking stick. Cooling off in the water were refreshing and standing still for the waterfall "massage" was really fun. But the star of the tour was our tour guide, Zach's instructions on tandem kayaking were so helpful that wife actually still liked each other at the end! His demeanor was both warm and calm. He was definitely watching over everyone in our group while still giving each of us the freedom to go at our own pace. His "Dad" jokes were funny and he made sure that we "stopped and smelled the ginger". Now for the best part…As we were sitting in our kayak waiting for the rest of the group to get into the water, my wife's iPhone slipped out of her pocket, onto the edge of the kayak, and down into the Wailua's murky water. After getting everybody into their kayaks and onto the water, Zach dove in twice to try to find it. I stopped him from trying again. We went on with the kayaking & hiking, got back to the dock, loaded the kayaks onto the trailer, drove back to the shop, and dropped everyone off. Zach said that he had a friend who had the necessary gear to find the phone. So we followed him back to the river parking lot. Kai's truck was there but he was nowhere to be found. So Zach jumped in the water (about 4' deep and another foot of silt at the bottom), waded over to the the general area where she lost it (there is no visibility in the water), dove in, and less than 15 seconds later…CAME UP WITH MY WIFE'S PHONE IN HIS HAND!!! He climbed out, handed it to my wife. We didn't have much hope as the phone had been in the water for over 6 hours. She swiped up AND THE PHONE STILL WORKED!!! No, it didn't have a waterproof case. It didn't have a case at all! Absolutely amazing! Anyway, a fun trip with a GREAT ending!
