Wailua River and Secret Falls Kayak and Hiking Tour on Kauai

An awesome adventure! Brian was a fantastic guide.. it was worth the trek to the waterfall.. such a beautiful experience overall.

“Hawaiian Brian” was an awesome tour guide.Fun information about the plants and Hawaiian history. We took our time and enjoyed the terrain. From some reviews I thought that it would be harder but that being said it was slippery in spots. Don’t forget to wear good shoes!

Brian was a fantastic guide!! Made the excursion much more meaningful. Wonderful all around experience.

Great adventure. Our guide, Brian, was excellent. He made a good event fantastic! Kayaking, hiking, swimming, and standing under the water falls made for a wonderful afternoon.

The kayaking and hiking were great, but the guide (Mike) was perhaps the worst guide we've ever had. First of all, he was late for the tour, and when he finally did arrive, he didn't offer an apology to the group or even an acknowledgement that he was late. He did make an announcement that he would be the "group photographer" for our trip. More on that later. Once we'd paddled to the trail and started hiking, Mike would randomly point things out to the first couple of people behind him, but the balance of the group (12 in total) couldn't hear a thing. He did stop twice and wait for the entire group to assemble before talking, but for the most part, only the two people behind him heard anything. Once we arrived at the waterfall, Mike hiked up the hill to have lunch with other guides. Although he'd promised to reunite with our group once he was finished eating, he never did. Instead, he sat at a distance and chatted with friends. When we asked later what photos he'd gotten of us at the waterfall, he responded, "I didn't take any photos. No one asked me to." When it was time to leave the waterfall area, he told our group of four to just "go ahead". We hiked on our own all the way back to the kayaks. (Thankfully a guide from another company helped us when we took a wrong turn on the trail.) Mike showed up at the kayaks, but after we got on the river to return to the marina, we never saw him again. A guide from a different company helped us get our kayak out of the water. Throughout our trip, we saw other groups who had booked with different companies. Those guides were engaged and making a real effort to enhance the experience for their groups. I sure wish we'd chosen a different company.

Loved waterfall. Steve was wonderful and so caring of nature and animals. Great stories and educational. Mahalo

It was a beautiful hike and kayak trip down the river. Our guide Brian, was informative and entertaining. It was a wonderful experience!

Wonderful trip and our guide Brian was great. The hike has some challenging bits if you’re not too steady and you will get wet to your knees so bring the right shoes for walking and getting fully submerged. There is no food or water provided so make sure to bring something. Unfortunately Brian had to change his normal schedule because someone in our group had dinner reservations so we got there with the mobs of other tours and it was crowded at the falls. Great day out!

Brian is an excellent tour guide. He has a unique gift with the Flora and fauna Of Kawai. He is conscious of safety and he even sings Along the way. I appreciate his attention to detail and that he brought us safely there and back.

Fun morning with a nice balance of the kayak trip, hike and swim at the falls. The action kept our girls (ages 11 & 13) engaged and they had no issues keeping up. Having visited the island many times, this felt totally unique - Highly recommend!
