Zach was an experienced, knowledgeable and entertaining tour guide. He led our group of 12 on a fun kayaking and hiking adventure. I had been kayaking before but had to adjust to tandem kayaking, which required some coordination with my kayak partner😊. The views were so pretty on the way to the trailhead. The hike was very easy with several river and stream crossings. Be prepared to get wet and muddy. Zach brought hiking sticks for all of us which were very appreciated. I heard someone in another tour group wishing their guide had provided sticks for them. The falls are beautiful but the pool below is crowded. We ate our lunch and the crowd thinned some. If you go on the afternoon tour, you won’t have lunch until around 3:00 so you may want a snack before the tour. This is a wonderful trip for active families, couples, singles or friends but you should be relatively fit. Kayaking to the trailhead, the wind is at your back, but you are paddling against the current on the way back.
