My daughter and I had a great time with our guide, Chris. The equipment was all in good shape. The kayaking was beautiful, and the hike was an adventure in the jungle. The trails are muddy, lots of climbing over roots, rocks, etc. Swimming at the waterfall was a highlight if our trip. Lunch was good, sandwiches and fresh pineapple.... More

My girlfriend and I did this kayak adventure together. This was hands down the most fun we had on our trip. You start by taking a kayak ride up the river that is about two miles long. It was so easy anyone can do it. After you dock, You start your breathtaking hike. No need to worry about getting lost... More

“Best way to kayak in Kauai”

Reviewed December 5, 2011

people found this review helpful

Going up river (don't worry - it's easy) and then hiking through the rainforest to a hidden waterfall and starting the whole journey by putting in just a few hundred yards from the ocean with waves crashing on the beach, now that's what I call a kayaking trip. They provide everything you need; kayaks, life vests, oars, transportation from the... More

Our kayak tour with Dan was beautiful. He gave us a good little training class as this was our first time in a kayak. We took off and found it was as easy as he said it was. The 2 mile paddle up the river was peaceful and the one mile hike to the falls was beautiful. Dan told us... More

“Loved It”

Reviewed November 29, 2011

Having previously gone solo on the river, I wasn't sure how a guided tour would be. I loved it! The staff was so friendly and informative, checking in and getting set up to go was a breeze. Our guide Aaron was the best. It felt like he was a long time friend of us all and that made the group... More

Aloha Vickie S, There are many pros to going on a guided trip with Kayak Adventures. Are guides are extremely knowledgeable. We are one of the few guide outfits on Kaua'i with no turnover in years.

Fantastic tour!!! A wonderful way to really experience the Hawaiian islands!

“Beautiful river and waterfall”

Aaron was a great guide, with tons of information about the river and vegetation. The tour was fun, and the river was beautiful. The hike to the waterfall was okay, but there were other groups there, and definitely didn't seen remote. Kayaks are mostly doubles, although we had singles because there was an odd number in our group. This is... More
