We booked this tour through Expedia Local Experts. It included a 45 min. kayak trip from the boat launch to the hiking spot. We had a full group (actually, our group had somehow gotten overbooked by Duke's, so a huge family of 6 had to get kicked out of the tour), so we had to wait for some of the... More

Evan's wealth of knowlege about local fauna and Hawaiian history really added to our experience. His goofy jokes and fun, relaxed attitude were greatly appreciated! The weather held out and the falls were spectacular! We found that booking was a bit of a challenge - getting the booking guy to call us back and confirm everything for us took several... More

We had a great adventure with Evan as our guide. It was two days after a torrential rain and the hike was exceptionally muddy but that just added to the fun. The river crossing was a wee bit scary but with Evan to help you across safety was never an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed Evan's humour yet he was also... More

Evan told me he'd buy me a beer if i wrote a good review, so here it is. Went with a group to the not-so-Secret Falls. There were 4 or 5 groups at the Falls and a bunch of kayaks all up and down the river. So if you're looking for solitude or a wilderness experience, this isn't it. All... More

My wife and I went on the secret falls kayak tour a few days ago and loved it. Our tour guide was Evan and he made the whole trip worth it. He was funny, nice, made sure every one was safe and comfortable. He provided some basic Kayak instruction as my wife hadn't done any before and in no time... More

The four of us took the kayak/hike tour to the waterfall. Evan was a great tour guide. He made sure everyone was safe but let us go at our own pace. He shared a lot of information along the way and we really enjoyed talking about island life with him. The trip was beautiful and not that hard to do.... More

Great fun, great value, friendly and helpful staff. (Ryan was a great guide.) We did not plan far in advance. We called Dukes around 9:30AM, asking if they had any availability that day. They did, 12;15 pm. (+1 for flexibility.) They gave good directions, a list of what to bring, and clarified before getting off the phone that they had... More

We just had a great time on this tour. Both family and couples friendly. 2 people per kayak and you head up the river about 2 miles, get out and hike about 1 easy mile to a ridiculous waterfall. Along the way the native tour guide tells you information about the history of kauai and different wildlife. It is an... More

We had a wonderful trip down the wailua river with dukes kayak adventures.From the first call to our tour guide our entire experience was wonderful. I highly recommend this trip if you like kayaking, waterfalls and a short hike. There are many companies that tour the Wailua river but when we called around Dukes kayak had the best price by...
