Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Awesome trip

Reviewed by: Annie

Really cool tour, our tour guide was very cool and made the whole experience so much fun! The trek up to the waterfall was quite fun to hike because there was so much mud:) And the kayaking is also lots of fun, not too much of an exhaust ;)

Wailua River Kayak, Rainforest Hike & Waterfall Swim Adventure with Lunch

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Danielle

We had a wonderful tour guide who was friendly and informative! We had a great time kayaking up and down a calm river. The hike was beautiful and had a nice lunch at Secret Falls in which we dipped in for a "refreshing" swim. Would totally recommend it!

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!

ナ・パリ・コースト セーリング シュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

Full of impact! 迫力満点!

Reviewed by: sue

I participated with my husband. There were about 40 participants, but we were the only Japanese. The staff doesn't understand Japanese, but it's not a matter of life and death. It would be even better if you can speak English at a conversational level.

On the way to Na Pali Coast, there are points where you can go snorkeling. If you're lucky, you might swim with turtles and dolphins. It's a valuable experience!

The breathtaking views of Na Pali Coast will be etched in your memory! The boat goes at a decent speed, so be careful of seasickness. By the way, I personally got seasick due to fatigue from work the day before and lack of sleep.

主人と参加しました。
参加者は40名前後いましたが、
日本人は私たちのみでした。
日本語はスタッフに通じませんが
死活問題ではないです。ある程度日常会話レベル英語が話せればなお良し。

ナ・パリ・コーストへ行く途中、シュノーケリングを出来るポイントがあります。
運が良ければタートルやイルカと一緒に泳げます。
貴重な経験です◉

ナ・パリ・コーストの絶景は目に焼き付きます!
船のスピードもそこそこ出るので船酔いに注意です。
ちなみに前日の仕事疲れと睡眠不足で私自身船酔いしました。

Smith’s Fern Grotto River Cruise with Live Hawaiian Music & Hula

Fern Grotto Boat Tour

Reviewed by: Oahu Vacationers

We had to U-turn few mins late since GPS couldn’t find the Wailua Marina location - Waze app had “Wailua River State Park” but it took us down a tiny steep road... luckily we arrived on time for the 11am tour. Had great photos along the way! Enjoyed the boat ride; aside from the humidity and brown muddy water due to the rain night before...bring a fan or baby wipes. We saw 2 kayakers and 2 paddle boarders. Nice boat attendees and Hawaiian musicians. A lovely, less than 2 hr tour with lots of time to explore rest of the island! Mahalo!

ナ・パリ・コースト クルーズ 立ち入り禁止の聖域「ニイハウ島」沖でのシュノーケリング付き<朝食・ビュッフェ昼食付き/英語ガイド>

The time spent on the boat is a bit too long. ちょっとだけ船に乗っている時間が長すぎる

Reviewed by: 砂布巾

I've been on the boat for 7 hours, and since most of that time is spent traveling at high speed, it can get a bit boring. In that case, being able to have fun conversations with the other 20 or so passengers is key. The staff is very friendly, you can see dolphins, you can go snorkeling, and making your own sandwiches for lunch was enjoyable. Overall, I had a great time.

7時間船に乗っているがそのほとんどが高速の移動時間のため、やや飽きる。その場合には一緒に乗っている他の20名以上のお客さんと楽しく会話できるかがポイントか。スタッフはとてもフレンドリー、いるかも見れる、シュノーケリングもできる、昼のサンドイッチも自分で作るのが楽しく全体としては楽しめました。

Kayak Fun

Reviewed by: Bruce Cariker

We had a great time. The hiking was great, the waterfall was gorgeous, and the water was a great temperature. While reasonably experienced kayakers, we had a little trouble keeping up with the rest of the kayakers on the upriver return, due to being older and out of shape. Dillon (our guide) did a great job of making this an enjoyable adventure. Due to a camera mishap, the pics he took of us and shared are the only ones we have of this adventure. Thanks, Dillon.

Luau Fun

Reviewed by: Bruce Cariker

Very good for what it was billed as. Good food, great dancing, maybe a bit Disneyesque. The fire knife dancer was a bit into himself, milking the audience for extra applause for his displays of skill. Dinner and show were well run, smooth and essentially seamless. Dinner seating was very good. Seats at the show venue, while padded, became a bit hard and narrow after awhile. I suppose it's the tradeoff required to get that many people within a good viewing distance of the show. Worth seeing again.

As expected, it's a breathtaking view! やっぱり絶景!

Reviewed by: ほるんちゃん

On the way there and back, we passed both close to and far from the cliffs, allowing us to enjoy the mountainside and the distant scenery. It was a comfortable voyage on the clear waters of the sea. While the engine was running, I had a great time getting soaked with seawater on the front deck with people from various countries. We were the only Japanese people on board, but the crew noticed that my companion didn't understand English very well, and I was really happy that they took special care of us.

行きと帰りで、崖の近くも遠くも通ったので、山肌も遠景も楽しめました。
水のきれいな海で快適な航海です。エンジン走行中は、前のデッキでいろんな国の人と海水でびしょ濡れになって大はしゃぎしました。
日本人は私たちだけだったのですが、同行者が英語をよくわかっていないことをクルーが察してくれて、特に気遣ってくれたのが嬉しかったです。

It was very busy. Good food but my gluten free meal was brought 20 minutes after I was full from the salads provided. However I ate the pork , chicken from the buffet style feast and food was well labelled so I had no reaction to the food I ate considering I am allergic to wheat. Very nice staff. Show was good. I wished there was more history and traditional dance wear. The high pitched whale noises the one lady made hurt my ears for every song. I wished the warrior dance was longer as I enjoyed the drums and seeing less women dancers hehe. The fire show was the best part. Thanks so much smith family!!
