Best Thing We Did in Kauai.

"Doc" (Matthew) was the perfect guide for our family of 6 as we paddled up and down the river while he taught us about the flora and fauna, along with the history of Kauai. He even had us smelling the leaves, tasting wild flowers, and...More

Doc was awesome!

It rained during our whole tour, but that didn't spoil any of the fun or the beauty of the landscape. Doc was a great guide! Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an outdoorsy experience in Kauai!

They do not protect your account info!

On January 6 we took a trip with the Wailua River Guides. The trip itself was ok. We were not given a choice (even though brocure said we would have one) whether we wanted a double or single kayak. Our guide was nice, I felt...More

This was one of the best adventures my husband and I have had on Kauai. Our guide, Doc, was very informative and very patient with two over 60 individuals (we probably didn’t move quite as fast as what he was used to). He was very...More

How much is just the kayak rental?

January 31, 2017|

Answer

We booked the private tour with a guide, so all the equipment were provided. Sorry I didn't remember how much it was.

How much do these tours cost?

February 14, 2015|

Answer

I think it was $85 per person. It included the kayaking, the hike, and one extra day for the bike rental. It also included the lunch at the waterfall. It was worth every penny for us.
