    The fall wasn’t as full as I thought but we went in September. The guide was excellent and gave us a lot of history of the falls, flowers, & fruits that you can eat on the trail. The kayak was an experience on its on for 2 that haven’t been in a boat in 20 years

    We had an amazing time with Levi as our guide. Levi is a lifelong resident of Kauai, and brought many interesting cultural references and experiences into the tour, which were greatly appreciated! The paddle up river was fun and scenic, and the hike to the falls was also quite fun. It was a bit dry when we went, so the falls were not running too much, but it was still fun to get right up under the waterfall, and to splash around in the pool. Definitely recommend this activity when you schedule your trip to visit Kauai!

    The crews are awesome with providing guidelines for the activity and focusing on safety of everyone. They provide equipment for snorkeling, kayaking and sea scooters. They also provide snacks, water, beverages and hot instant noodles. Some crews are in the water guiding us to find fish and turtles and later we also saw a couple dolphins. We had a great time as first time snorkeling. The crews also gave us a lot of time for pictures. We enjoyed the trip very much! Thanks to Dustin who guided us and gave a great time!
    Many thanks to all the crews!

    We had so much fun on this tour. The kayaking is peaceful and the water calm. The hiking portion is easy enough for any ability. Secret Falls is beautiful! Trey, our guide, was quite knowledgeable and answered a variety of questions about local wildlife and island history.

    This was an amazing experience! We loved how everything was so easy! The bus pick up was great and Tyler our photographer and tour guide did an amazing job with all the information and being super friendly! Our captain Dani did a great job steering us to see so many dolphins and sea turtles!! The rest of the crew Jeremy, Caden, Ben and Yoshiko were so fun and interactive! They made the trip entertaining! The music was great as well. We loved being able to kayaking and swim in the ocean! The sandwiches were also delicious and a perfect way to end our trip, while we enjoyed the boat ride back! Would do this again!

    Andres very good, kind, patient. Enjoyed kayaking which I do often. However, snorkeling isnt my forte. Andres taught and calmed me in order to enjoy the experience. SAW AND SWAM WITH SEA TURTLES. 🥰

    Mike was our very knowledgeable, fun loving guide that lead us via a 3 mile kayak to plane wreck that was awesome to snorkel on. We also got to see a baby monk seal, baby diving birds, had a tour of Flat Island and a nice lunch there. It Was one of the best things we did on Oahu. Highly recommend!

    Gabriel was an absolutely amazing guide who really took care of us and made sure we felt safe and comfortable with snorkeling and kayaking. His knowledge of the reef was vast and interesting. Also snorkeling is an absolute must! We swam with several turtles and the reef was amazing.

    We had a wonderful glass boat and snorkel experience with Curtis, he is a passionate professional to say the least. We snorkeled to the Turtle town cleaning station where fish are madly pecking at the turtle shells, there happened to be a couple of Manta Rays swimming in the area as well as other beautiful tropical fish. Giant curious Turtles everywhere bobbing their heads in the ocean as they swim by checking out the glass boat. Curtis has a great personality and he made our day special. We would highly recommend his company!

    Such an amazing experience, a must-do in Hanalei! We saw 3 turtles while snorkeling. This is family-owned business, the guides were great and super friendly!! If you are staying on the north shore do this tour!!

    Okay, so this was my first time doing this adventure. I heard great things!
    First, the kayaking in for me, took some getting used to. It was only my second time kayaking, but this river is so calm it made it a lot easier to get the hang of it. It is all beauty 100% of the time. Everything around you is picture worthy.
    Next is the hike. The hike in is like no other I have been on. At first, you feel like you need a machete, completely surrounded by vegetation. STAY WITH YOUR GROUP! It could be very easy to get separated if you aren't paying attention. It almost happened to me.
    Again, EVERYTHING around you is picture worthy. And the scent from the flowers! OMG! I thought it was somebodys lotion. Unreal.
    And then.....the waterfall! Beautiful, but it was smaller than I thought. In my imagination I saw a big, noisy rushing white fall. Nope. No quite.
    I think it was the time of the year? Idk.
    Anyhoo, still worth it. Then you hike back out and kayak back to the dock. I enjoyed the trip back more than the trip in, probably because I knew what was ahead.

    I recommend watershoes
    I recommend a change of clothes at your car, YOU ARE GOING TO GET WET
    I recommend you tip your guide, they work very hard and our guide Annie Holstein was freaking awesome, with knowledge and jokes.

    BTW, I did not take pictures because I was in the moment, but people even brought drones, which I thought was a bit over the top, but you might not!
