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!

Cool and Fun

Reviewed by: LAZZ

So we were looking to take in some history and have fun at the same time.
What better way than to float lazily down some waterways and with the help of a great guide who had lots of fun facts spend the day doing just that. Great time was had by both of us. Thanks for an awesome time.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Easy Tube Ride

Reviewed by: Debra M.

I did this activity with my 14-year old son. You are on an intertube going down a simple stream for about 1 hour. The first part is getting to the inlet. During the ride, you are about 75% in tunnels but nothing scary so you don't need sunglasses or really any sunscreen/bug spray (at least we didn't). After outtake, you grab a quick 'make your own sandwich, chips, cookie, and water and ride back. Guides were friendly. Very mellow and safe excursion.

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.

It was fine for me but my husband isheavy and they did little to help him
Only two dizes of tubes reg and small the kids in our group needed to have us ask on there behalf to get smaller tubes they were falkin through and my husband couldnt fit in reg tube
They did nothing he repeatedly hit his head
So if your average size and like spinning circles and bouncing off walls.this is for you
They could of helped him get out of tube sit in tube anything, but nothing
Keep your srms and ankles in or get scraped up
There could of been a great story to this event
We thought there would be history. Cash cow

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Great Adventure for the entire family

Reviewed by: KJ Jensen

We had a great time, worth every penny. Just the tour of the back country, privately owned land that the general public does not get to see, and information provided is worth the price. The float was fun and entertaining, not a thrill ride but a fun adventure. Our group ages were 9 to 58 and there were younger and older people on our tour. Every one had fun and I highly recommend this adventure to all.

I gave a 4 star rating only because there was one person in our group that has claustrophobia and could not go due to her fear of going into tunnels. The tunnels were not scary but for someone with this phobia they may be. You have a light on your helmet and can see very well but in 2 tunnels you can not see the light at the other end.

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!

Macht Spaß...

Reviewed by: Paseba

Spaßige Seiltrutschentour an 7 Seilen. Diese sind über ein grünes idyllisches Tal mit einem Bach gespannt. Mit einem Offroad-Fahrzeug in einer Gruppe von ca. 10 Personen wird man zur Örtlichkeit auf einer privaten Ranch gefahren (man passiert dabei einen Drehort vom Hollywoodfilm "Tropic Thunder"). Nach einer Einweisung passiert man die Rutschen. Die längste dauert 30 Sekunden, die höchste ist über 60m hoch. Nach der letzten Rutsche kann man im Fluss (kalt!) baden.
