The experience itself was amazing. The kayak was relaxing with great views. The hike and waterfall were fantastic. The staff, Jonathan went above and beyond. Without divulging too much as not to encourage bad behavior, they were very accommodating to our situation.

My husband and I had an awesome day on this Secret Falls and Kayaking trip! It was the perfect mix of paddling on the river,, hiking through the rainforest and swimming in a natural pool under a beautiful waterfall. Our guide, Gabriel, entertained us with the history of the area where we were hiking, including pointing out native plants. He showed us how one of the tree's branches could be peeled like string cheese to make fishing line and jewelry. The kayaking was easy , and the little over a mile hike was not strenuous but got muddy and slippery in spots.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide, John, was personable, knowledgeable about the culture, surrounding vegetation and wildlife, and canoe culture. He took his time to explain route, expectations, kayak handling, and allowed for enough time for group members to translate for others in their party. Top notch! Highly recommend.

Great tour. Gabriel was our tour guide, very informational and made the morning fun. We were new to kayaking so he gave us some good tips and great stories about the island while hiking. Great views and a fun time overall.

The Trip was quite nice and kayak adventures made everything quite easy. The guide was personal while sharing information about the island and area which we were traveling through. It was very apparent that he enjoyed what he was doing.

Such a fun day! Levi (our guide) was superb! He taught our group so much about the culture of Kauai. He even performed a wedding blessing for us and a newly wed couple in our group. He was so knowledgeable and truly loves his heritage and culture. He wants to share that knowledge and love with everyone. It makes for a very special day.

This tour was absolutely amazing! The customer service we received was unforgettable. My husband, daughter and I had a lot of fun kayaking up and down the river. The hike was beautiful and consisted of walking through rivers and streams and across planks. The waterfall was absolutely majestic and so beautiful. It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We will never forget the people we met during this experience. They were a true example of the aloha spirit of Hawaii, specifically Madeline, who we spoke with regarding questions and concerns. She was very helpful and kind, and went well above and beyond our expectations as tourists.

Kayak trip was great. Super easy to navigate and paddle to the falls hike. Our guide Zack was the best guide we could have asked for. Ask for Zack! Zack, you dad like jokes are great! Keep up the great work!
