Mud and callousness

Review of: Wailua River Kayak and Hike Adventure

Our travel agent set us up with this tour. Her description says it goes via Hanalei Bay (before a driving return to starring point)- is that true?

AnswerShow all 6 answers

Hanalei Bay is on the other side of the island, no that's not accurate.

It sounds like you will get dirty after this trip, but I am planning to go into the city and explore afterwards. Is there some place to wash up and get presentable after the tour? Even a recommendation of showers or something like that in Wailua or Lihue would be great.

AnswerShow all 7 answers

You won't get dirty necessarily. However, we went to the Marriott and they let us use a hospitality suite for $30 to shower and change. There are other hotels close by that may have the same deal.

Hello I was just wondering...once you hit the waterfalls is cliff jumping allowed?? Thank you

July 16, 2015|

AnswerShow all 2 answers

Cliff jumping is precarious on all Hawaiian waterfalls. Rotten rock and shallow pools. If you do ...make sure you buy a wheel chair in case you survive. Micco
