The kayak adventure was fun. First kayaking up the river with the jungle on all sides was fun, then hiking through the jungle with interesting sights to finally see the waterfall. Truly an adventure.

Yes, you get muddy, but that’s part of the fun. Our guide told us to ‘embrace the mud’ and it was good advice.

Awesome trip with an amazing guide. Levi was more teacher than guide and his passion for all things Hawaiian made the trip soooo good.

Best of both worlds. Kayaking and hiking. Consider bringing water shoes that you can use to hike to the falls. Pretty easy hike overall but you will appreciate footwear that can get wet and muddy.

Kayaking was a lot of fun. The hiking was unexpected and adventurous - through a field, water crossings, plank walks - a lot of fun. Levi shared his customs and culture with us on the way and made sure everyone made it through safely and without any issues. We did the hike quickly - with a quick heavy rain that stopped after 5 min. Great experience!

This was a really amazing tour. Nate was great and very knowledgeable. Things to know
1. You will get wet from beginning to end :-)
2. The mud is slick and occasionally deep. The good news is, see item 1.
3. Wear the right shoes
4. Take the walking stick when offered.
5. You must be able to work with your kayak partner so ….. well it will either be good or it won’t. Lol
6. Waterfall swim is cool. Do it!
7. Reminder, you will get wet and muddy.
8. Overall, hike is flat except for a couple of small stairish climbs.

Have fun as we did!

Had such a blast on this tour! Gabriel was super attentive and friendly. He helped others get the hang of paddling and truly treated me like a friend rather than just a guest!

Had a great time, and good weather.
The tour guide (Nate/Nathan) was very knowledgeable on local wildlife and plants.
We met up at the Coconut Marketplace in/near Kapa'a. They provided a dry bag that is super waterproof so you can bring all your things on the kayak and on the hike.
It was about 2 miles of kayak rowing to a landing where you park the kayak and start the hike. The hike was all-terrain. There were parts where we had to cross the river in water above our knees. There were parts with thick and slippery mud - but it was still very fun. Just don't plan to be dry, and trust that you might get a little muddy.

-Bottom Line-
The waterfall is awesome, the kayak and hike were easy enough to do.
It was a decent workout for my wife and I.
I think the morning time is the better option.

Beautiful trip up the river by kayak, with a good hike up to the falls. Trip is half hike, half kayak. Be prepared for muddy conditions on the hike to the falls including several spots where you must cross creek/rivers that are ankle to waist deep in water....you will get wet on this trip, no way to avoid it...but worth the effort at the falls. Our guide Nate was awesome, sharing stories and history along the way.

Gabriel was a really great tour guide -- he's good with people and seemed sincerely excited to be guiding us.

Either bring water shoes or just be ready to accept your hiking boots getting soaked. There are 4 legit river crossings with no rocks to leap from. I don't recommend casual shoes -- it can get fairly slippery and muddy.

In terms of difficulty, most of it is quite easy and mostly flat, but there are some small stretches that require careful stepping. It never felt dangerous, though. I wouldn't recommend it if you have mobility or balance issues, but I would recommend it as either a comfortable adventure for people who are moderately in shape or a doable stretch for couch potatoes.
