Great, easy-going tour!

My mom and (adult) me did the guided morning tour with Cole. It was lovely! Kayaking in the river was very pleasant (gentle, no real current and very little wind), and the jungle backdrop was really scenic. The hike was also very beautiful, and the...More

Self guided trip to Secret Falls via stand up paddle board made easy

While we were ideally planning on renting a double kayak (last minute) from one of the places right on the river, everyone was already all booked up. We called Wailua Kayak. While they were out of double kayak’s, they suggested using the stand up paddle...More

Incredible Tour with Cole!!!

This was an amazing tour and very exhausting! You aren't huffing and puffing while either kayaking or hiking, but after this tour, a nap was a welcome treat. I can't imagine doing this without a tour guide. Cole was very informative about the area and...More

This is regarding the kayak tour / hike to Secret Falls: does the trail come anywhere near dangerous dropoffs at all? (Some reviews spoke of danger of falling so I wanted to clarify: did they mean danger of falling off of cliffs, or just merely danger of falling and hurting a knee or something? I'm quite agile and not scared of merely falling down. But am SUPER scared of cliffy hikes.)

Hello we are planning on a trip in March and my questions are if I may: 1) What type of shoe should we wear, would Teva Sports Sandals be ok or do they need to be water shoes? 2) Can we bring a water camera? I saw a review mention no pictures? I find that hard to believe :) 3) If I am reading all the info correct there is no need to bring a water resistant backpack? Thank you !
