Wailua River Kayak and Hike Adventure

Such a fun experience and I loved our guide, a Kauai local with so much knowledge of the legends and lore of the island. The kayaking was a nice, slow pace and the muddy hike was fun, although slippery! Swimming under the waterfall was a highlight of the day for me.

Very nice tour guide. The kayak and hike were amazing! The lunch they provided was good as well. I would recommend!

Had a lot of fun. We had never kayaked and the guide Eric was very patient with us. The trail was quite muddy in places but nothing too serious. Loved the waterfall at the end. Fabulous sandwiches!

Great trip and guide was excellent!!!! Overall trip was well with it. We would definitely recommend this to others

This is as good as it gets when it comes to outdoor adventures! Our guide was amazing and kind, while also educating us along the way. It was approximately four hours round-trip (we definitely were speedy with our smaller & fit group) kayaking five total miles and hiking approximately three miles with a 45min stop at the waterfall! For the price, this experience is far beyond worth it. They could charge 3-4x what they are and it would still be worth it. They provide a dry pack, water/drinks, and lunch that was beyond our expectations! TIPS: - Wear water shoes instead of hiking boots or shoes as there are several river crossings! - Bring cash to tip your guide! - Be prepared for lots of physical activity!

Our guide Jay was awesome. He was very knowledgeable about the plants and birds. The river kayak was great. We were lucky that it wasn't too muddy on the hiking trail. The waterfall was amazing and cold!! Make sure to wear footwear with good traction.

Awesome trip! Highly suggest to wear nonslip shoes and use the walking stick that they offer you! If unsure of your health to make a 2 mile hike in the mud you might not want to go on this trip! We had an elderly gentleman that could not make it into the falls he sat and waited for us to return, our amazing guide Jay left him with food and water and the other guides as they passed through, to check on him and then assisted him back to the kayak and paddled him to home base! Our trip and our guide were amazing! If you hike to secret Falls be prepared to go in and under the falls, it is well worth it! Highly recommended kayak and secret Falls hike trip! Jay was amazing!! 🤟

Mike the guide was excellent. We had a great kayaking trip and the hike to waterfall was quite muddy but very enjoyable.

My friend and I checked in and found ourselves with a group of 10 friend/family. We were told this was an unusually large group, but we were ok with it, even though we felt a bit out of place and kind of like we were on our own. Our guide immediately told us he was a new dad..he had a 16 month old. It seemed like he was already fishing for his tip. The kayak part was fun and we got to the hiking part and were told to grab a hiking stick. My friend and I are avid hikers. Me in Colorado and her in Montana and didn't immediately get one, but the trail was s muddy that the mud was covering our shoes, and slick. The kids and some elderly folks in our tour kept falling. Long story short, a man in the group was behind me, slipped, hit his head on a rock, and pretty much died instantly from a head injury, I called the guide to help turn him over. The guide started doing CPR 2x faster than required, I was asking to help do the breaths and he YELLED at me that you don't do that anymore, I informed him that only one person CPR is no breaths, If you have 2 people, it's 30 compressions and 2 breaths. A nurse came up and confirmed and also told him to do his compressions to the beat of the song, Staying Alive. He, again, yelled that he was certified and you didn't breath, A dr came and took a pulse and confirmed that he had none. The guide kept doing compressions wrong and finally became tired and let us help. My fried waded into the rushing water to try to get a signal and call 911, They were asking her if they could land a helicopter, where exactly we were, etc, She was a tourist and had no idea, They were constantly calling her back for updates. Another dr came and took over. He got the guide and another guy to help him with compressions and I helped with the breathing for 45 minutes,. The man wa eventually pronounced dead, The guide had no CPR skills, no pocket mask, and no phone to get a signal. After everything, my friend and I composed ourselves and realize everyone had left us. We hiked down alone, kyaked back alone (and witnessed the rescue boat passing us with the uncovered body on the bow) and were met on the dock by a worker who took our boat, The lady running the place was in shock and offered us 1/2 of a refund. I told her what we went through and she did give us our money back, soap to clean up as I was covered head to toe in mud, a towel and eventually told us to go to a local restaurant and covered our tab.

The kayaking and ( very muddy) hike was challenging, but well worth it, arriving a the beautiful jungle waterfall. Our guide was kind, knowledgeable ans always kept us safe.
