Kauai ATV Waterfall Tour at Kipu Ranch - Off-Road 3-Hour Expedition

Another blast

Reviewed by: Tom

Big shoutout to the guides, Giggles and Joshua.
At first I was disappointed that I wasn't going to drive a UTV, but our guide made up for it.
It's really cool to see film locations and get some stories.
Had a great time. If you get the chance, go on this tour.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Absolutely amazing! Exotic hike/waterfall swim checked off bucket list!

Reviewed by: Ashley

Our leader, “T” was awesome. He had so many cool stories, and was a local that knew it all. He did the whole hike barefoot, which I could have never done!!
Beautiful adventure. Well worth the money.

Mr T...has a lot of "sole"...that is why he can amble in bare feet.
T is classic and allot of fun. A real pleasure to work with. Glad to hear
that he is sharing his aloha in the field. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for your review. Always have loved the Hawaiian word for waterfall: "wail lele" which is defined as "jumping waters". Come back and enjoy our other snorkel and paddling tours. A hui hou.

Go!

Reviewed by: Nathan from LA

This was one of the highlights of our trip, like the title say... Go! It was beautiful, challenging (slippery on a sunny day - potentially dangerous if you aren’t wearing proper shoes for the hike portion) and exhilarating. Our guide Tyler was a wealth of information and kept everyone relaxed through a new experience.

Guided Waterfall Rappelling Adventure in Kauai

60' Rappelling was fantastic!

Reviewed by: Steve

My family has gone on several 'adventures' on the islands, but I must say that the waterfall rappelling adventure was our favorite by far! The staff was tremendous, the waterfall was gorgeous, and the overall experience was exhilarating! We would highly recommend this tour, especially for a family with teens who crave some adventure.

Family-friendly...manageable with tough kids.

Reviewed by: LoriFam17

Just right in length of tour and ability to handle with children. Wasn't prepared for the bug bites that occurred, so don't forget strong Deet bug repellent. Sunscreen, hat and proper shoes a must as well. It's a jungle out there! Water was amazing and the return trip was refreshing! Brad was funny and a great host...attendees must have a sense of humor!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

A must do adventure!

Reviewed by: WA State travelers

We took the first group out at 7:45am,was a perfect trip and not over crowded. Our tour guide was Phil, he was terrific -very knowledgeable and a ton of fun. My husband and I had a great time and would recommend this for anyone wanting a little adventure. The kayaking was nice and about two miles to your hiking spot-less waterway traffic going in- coming out was getting busy- would suggest booking the early group. The hike was muddy-go barefoot or wear sturdy shoes you don't mind getting wet and muddy, a bit slippery and challenging but fun. The waterfall is beautiful (water was a bit chilly) but worth getting in it. Lunch was perfect, not too much and very yummy. Definitely a must do when visiting the island.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

BEST DAY EVER!!!!!

Reviewed by: Deb

This was by far the best day of our week. The kids loved it! The kayak trip on the river was amazing, nice and relaxing, beautiful scenery. Advice- have one experienced kayak-er for the 2 person kayak. The hike through the forest was so cool, it was exactly what we had imagined. We were filled with history and information along our hike which was really inviting! Once we got to the falls, delightful! Although the water was cold, it was the neatest things we had experienced! The lunch, the surroundings, the tour guide, all amazing! Don't second guess, Just do it!!!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Be very careful!

Reviewed by: Annie S.

The waterfall destination is spectacular, our guide, Web, was very good - and barefoot!. Well-fitting hiking or sturdy aqua shoes are a must for the average hiker. The kayak trip is easy in a wide river. The hike is often along narrow pathways along a dropoff area with no barriers. The ground is very muddy, uneven and you're stepping between roots of trees much of the time. Good foot placement, patience and balance are requirements. When we arrived at the falls, a thunderstorm dumped a lot of rain decreasing the time at the falls and created an extremely wet and muddy return trip on the path back to the kayaks. Puddle depths were unknown leading to many slips and falls and very slow and slippery going. While no one was hurt in our group of 12, I'd advise this trip only for the very adventurous, and very careful!

Great Experience and Workout!

Reviewed by: Sharilynn

There are some amazing views and creatures to see. The guide was awesome. We took two kids in the front of our Kayaks (which means we did all the rowing) therefore the groups with 2 adults per boat went way ahead of us. Don’t sign up for group activities if you expect the world to evolve around you. The group we went with seemed to rush through everything and we were trying to enjoy the trip and views.

カウアイ島 ワイルア川カヤック&熱帯雨林ハイキング <英語ガイド/昼食付き>

I had a great time even by myself. 1人でもとても楽しみました。

Reviewed by: 32歳女性

I noticed the instruction to call for confirmation the night before, and when I called first thing in the morning, they assured me that it was fine not to confirm and that they would pick me up on time, which was a relief.

They arrived about 15 minutes past the scheduled time. The guide was very pleasant.

I wore sneakers as advised for walking, but I ended up wading into the river with my shoes on, and the jungle was so muddy that I got completely covered in dirt. I recommend wearing outdoor water shoes (the guide was barefoot). Even without going into the waterfall, there was a point where we had to cross a river, and at 155 centimeters tall, I got wet up to my thighs.

Also, both canoeing and hiking were quite strenuous. I usually exercise, but I was sore the next day. However, the sense of accomplishment made it very enjoyable.

Perhaps because it was a bit chilly seasonally, most people didn't go into the waterfall, and we only stayed there for about 20 to 30 minutes, including lunch. It was great that we could kayak at our own pace without feeling rushed on the way there and back. By the way, since I was participating alone, I kayaked with another solo participant.

I think they picked me up around 8:40, and I returned to the hotel around 14:15.

If I have the chance to go again, I would love to participate once more.

前日の夜にコンフォームの電話をしろと書いてある事に気がつき、当日朝イチで電話をすると、コンフォームしなくても大丈夫、時間通りに迎えに行きますよ、との事で一安心。
約束のお時間を15分くらい過ぎて迎えがきました。
感じのいいガイドさんでした。

歩きやすい靴、との事でスニーカーで行きましたが、川の中も靴のままで入ったり、ジャングルはぬかるみがひどく泥まみれになりました。
アウトドアー用のウォーターシューズで行く事をオススメします。(ガイドさんは裸足でした)
滝で水に入らなくても、行く途中に川を渡るところがあるので、その時点で155センチの私は太ももまで濡れました。

また、カヌーもハイキングもなかなかハードです。
普段運動をしている私ですが、翌日筋肉痛になりました。ですがその分達成感もあり、大変楽しかったです。

季節的に肌寒かったためか、ほとんどの人が滝には入らず、滝にはランチも含めて20分〜30分ほどしか滞在しませんでした。
行きも帰りもカヤッキングは焦らされることなく、自分のペースで行かせてくれて良かったです。
ちなみに私は1人の参加だったので、もう1人のお一人様と一緒にカヤッキングをしました。

8:40位に迎えがきて、ホテルに戻ったのは14:15くらいだったと思います。

また行くことがあったらまた参加したいです。

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Empfehlenswert

Reviewed by: Paseba

Die Kajaktour ist einfach zu bewältigen, zieht sich aber meiner Meinung nach mit 45min etwas hin. Die Wanderung zum Wasserfall ist eine Erfahrung für sich: Durch einen Fluss mit doch recht starker Strömung (Sicherung durch ein Seil), über wirklich schlammige Wege durch den Dschungel und das alles wieder zurück. Ist aber für jedermann gut zu bewältigen. Auf jeden Fall Wasserschuhe mitnehmen. Teilweise standen wir knöcheltief im Schlamm. Der Wasserfall ist großartig (30m hoch), das Wasser sehr erfrischend. Man darf aber nicht erwarten, dort mit seiner Gruppe allein zu sein. Im Minutentakt kommen neue Besucher am Wasserfall an. Trotzdem eine schöne Location.
Würde die Tour wieder machen!
