This was a really fun experience for my wife and I. Our guide, Danica, was great. The tour started at their main building (which appears to be under construction). Either way, they had us sign some waivers and they outlined the tour details. The total group size was 10 plus Danica. We were driven to the kayak launching point on... More

This Place Rocks. We showed up and they had all our stuff ready to go. They showed us how to load up the car and set everything up. Gave us a map and a dry bag to keep the camera safe. I cant reccomend this place highly enough...Save the cash from a guided tour and grab a 2 seater kayak... More

My wife and I enjoyed this leisurely kayak up the Wailua River to "Secret Falls". Our tour guide, Troy, was very personable - he's a farmer and coconut tree climber as well. The hike to the falls included some neat information on local trees. At the falls we got delicious cookies and dried fruit - plenty for everyone. It was... More

Our kayak & hiking trip with Kayak Wailua was fantastic. Our guide Kyle was great - very knowledgable and allowed us to set the pace. We had to cancel the time we had scheduled because our flight from Maui was delayed, and they were very accommodating and had no problem booking us on a trip an hour later. We would... More

We had booked a guided kayak trip with this outfitter. The day of the trip it was raining up in Princeville where we were staying. I know that rain is spotty on the island. I was a little concerned that maybe the trip might be affected but they had our cell phone number and said they would contact us if... More

One of the memorable experiences of our week on the island. We left at dawn and were the only people on the river. Light rain produced a double rainbow as we paddled upstream. Our 12 year old son was in a single and we were in a double. Easy paddling - suitable for all skill levels. Glad we wore suitable... More
