Kauai Hiking Tour with Private Waterfall Swim & Jungle Adventure
Hike to private waterfall
Activity Date: 2022/08/13 | Posted on: 2022/08/19

We were really pleased with the waterfall hike and our tour guide, Katie. She got us hooked up with good footwear ($10 each to rent, which is definitely worth it). The hike itself was short but sweet, and we learned a lot about local plants and animals. Katie found some white Hawaiian ginger and showed us how to suck nectar from the roots and demonstrated how one might make paper using the papyrus growing by the water.

The waterfalls were gorgeous and very private. We were a small group of about 8 and we saw no one else. The second waterfall, the one you swim in, was wonderful. The water was cool but refreshing and Katie guided us all (even younger kids) as we climbed up to walk behind it.

After the swim you do have a few minutes of pretty steep climbing, but the shoes and the guard ropes really help and no one had any issues (aside from being a tad winded).

I highly recommend this tour and will absolutely do it again.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Fantastic!
Activity Date: 2022/08/11 | Posted on: 2022/08/13

Our guide, Logan, was absolutely fantastic. The hike was great, and three generations of our family were able to do it, from 70 years old to 7 years old. The kayaking was calm and pleasant, and the waterfall was truly amazing. We got plenty of time at the waterfall, and it wasn’t too crowded- we got photos of just our family in the waterfall. This was a highlight of our entire Hawaii trip!

Aloha Mike, Logan with his stentorian voice...and enthusiasm shines both in the field + he is great to work with. Glad to hear that you enjoyed his particular brand of aloha and the falls.

Come back again and we can share with you some other beautiful aspects of our beautiful island.

Thanks for sharing.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
My experience to the Sacred Water Falls
Activity Date: 2022/06/30 | Posted on: 2022/07/23

I enjoyed the location, but it is impossible to appreciate it during the hike or walk … it was very fast and unable to take pictures…. The description was the hike was by the “flat river bed”, but is was not .. it was walking on top of boulders, branches, wet ground, steep up and down….and Too many groups at the same time (crowded) or overlapping .. our group had 15 minutes at the waterfalls, not enough time to eat or get into the waterfalls…which also was very crowded with other groups….
Our tour guide was excellent…!!

Aloha Silvana, Allot has changed since we first marketed this tour 38 years ago as the "Secret Falls"; as you experienced, it it the best known secret. That said, even with the crowd at times, it is still a nice way to spend the day. Thanks for warning potential patrons that the road to the falls, is unpaved and uneven at times and can be challenging for some. Glad you enjoyed our guide and I guess excellent is good enough. Thanks again for you review. A hui hou, Micco/Head Guide

Aloha Fred,

Thanks for 5 stars and letting us know, what we really already knew, i.e. that Tyler "rocks".

Tyler gives 100 % + does an excellent job managing our Wailua River programs from rentals to tours. We are very fortunate that he tolerates us.

Stay well and keep enjoying the many facets of beauty that this planet provides.

Guided Waterfall Rappelling Adventure in Kauai
Perfect island adventure!
Activity Date: 2022/06/24 | Posted on: 2022/06/26

The guides were awesome and extremely personable. They were sure that all the participants were comfortable with the process. They cheered us on and made sure we have a great time. The waterfalls are on private land that you would never otherwise get to experience. While the idea of rappelling may sound crazy, with the help of the guides, anyone can enjoy this adventure. Definitely a highlight to our trip! When we are back on the island, we’ll do it again!

Kauai ATV Waterfall Tour at Kipu Ranch - Off-Road 3-Hour Expedition
An awesome family adventure!
Activity Date: 2022/06/23 | Posted on: 2022/06/25

My family had an awesome time on this tour with our guides Ryan and Cousin Giggles! They made sure all drivers felt comfortable behind the wheel of their ATV and made safety a priority. The trails were fun with a great waterfall stop at the end. Only a few people actually got in the water. My husband did and said the rocks were very slick and water very cold but he would jump in again. It rained that morning but the trails were still very dusty in places and there were also large mud puddles. Take clothes and shoes you don’t mind getting bright red dirt on. My teens stated this was one of their favorite activities.

Great Time!
Activity Date: 2022/05/16 | Posted on: 2022/05/18

We had a great time with the kayak to the sacred falls. Our tour guide T was phenomenal. He was very personable ( even learned all 12 of our names during the trip) and taught us many things along the trail. We are novice kayakers and felt that the trip was well suited to our abilities. The hike was very easy as well. Would highly recommend and would like to say a huge thank you to T for making the experience over the top.

Aloha Tara,

Keeping it fun, safe and leaving with some knowledge to help you understand the natural history is the aim in all our snorkel, waterfalls and Na Pali paddling tours.

Mike exemplifies this philosophy.

Thanks for sharing. Stay well and keep learning.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch
Fun on the Ranch
Activity Date: 2022/04/23 | Posted on: 2022/04/26

Keegan and Saber (incredibly unsure on both of those spellings) were amazing guides. They were super laid back, funny, knowledgeable, and thorough. These guys were fun to follow around for the day, breaking up sections to explain plant life, facts about Kauai or parts of the Kipu Ranch, and of course some harmless practical jokes on us tourists. Everything was very safe and friendly and they made sure to give clear instructions in regards to matters of safety and equipment. It made for a rather seamless and enjoyable experience for all. I cannot recommend this company/excursion enough!

Great trip. A must do for outdoors people. Leisurely paddle , rain showers and hiking through mud. Uneven terrain. Wading across rivers and getting a refreshing swim in the waterfall pool. So much fun!!! Bring rain gear, wear good shoes……. we wore keen sandals, and wear a swimsuit for the waterfall swim.

Waimea Canyon Guided Sightseeing, Kokee State Park Nature Walk & Coffee Tour
Nice Adventure
Activity Date: 2022/03/14 | Posted on: 2022/04/01

This was a fun day. We saw a lot of nice sights. I wish we could have had more time at each location, though. We ended up going back to a couple sights on our own the next day. Jonna was friendly and answered our questions. The lunch wasn't very good by the time we got to eat it. (We picked it up to eat later) Maybe it depended on what you ordered. All in all a nice day and some fun sights.

Went on this kayak, hiking and swimming adventure with my sister. It did not disappoint at all.
Justice our guide was fantastic! He was knowledgeable, super friendly and made sure everyone was having fun and doing good. His dog precious girl Koi was such a treat to have as our companion, we just loved her.
The Kayaking was refreshing and captivating with beautiful surrounds for a hike. It was not a difficult or long hike so can be done by most and allowed us to just have a great time. I would highly recommend this activity and tour company Kayak Kauai / NaPali Outfitters, Inc.
