Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch
Perfect for us!
Activity Date: 2016/12/24 | Posted on: 2016/12/26

This was amazing & worth every penny. The hike was challenging because of the slippery, muddy, sloping terrain, but everybody in the group managed it without a problem. We had a blast. The staff were super!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
A Great Day
Activity Date: 2016/11/08 | Posted on: 2016/11/11

Had a great time with this activity. The kayaking was fun and leisurely; the hike a comfortable jaunt; the falls isolated and beautiful. Go early to reduce the number of visiting groups at the falls, and ask if you can have Jamie as your guide...he was really great. Not a tasking activity if the weather is moderate...if it's hot or wet, it could pose a different sort of adventure.

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>
This tour is perfect for enjoying nature.
自然満喫ならこのツアー
Activity Date: 2016/10/25 | Posted on: 2016/11/03

We left the hotel around 8:30 AM and returned around 3:00 PM. We went kayaking, hiking, and saw a waterfall, then did the reverse on our way back. The return kayaking was a bit tiring, but I think even beginners can manage. The guide was close to the slowest kayak, which was reassuring. Along the way, boats going to the fern cave were passing by, so we were busy avoiding them when they came. Perhaps because the weather was good, we didn't need to use rain gear, and hiking in the rainforest was easier than I imagined. The backpack with water and lunch was heavy, but I think two girls can manage it just fine. More than that, please enjoy the scenery of Kauai and try experiences you can't usually have. It was a fulfilling time.

朝の8:30ぐらいにホテルをでて、戻ってくるのが15:00ごろ。カヤックして、ハイキングをして、滝をみて、またその逆をこなして帰ってきます。帰りのカヤックは少々疲れましたが、初心者でもなんとかできると思います。ガイドさんも一番遅いカヤック近くにいてくれるので安心でした。途中、シダの洞窟行きの船が行き交うので船の来るときは避けるのに必死でした。天候も良かったせいか、雨具を使うこともなく熱帯雨林でのハイキングも想像よりは楽でした。水やランチを入れたリュックは重いですが、女子2人でもなんとか大丈夫だと思います。それよりも、カウアイ島の景色を楽しんだり普段できない体験をぜひしてみてください。満喫できました。

Such a wicked day which was enhanced by Lono and his approach to the group and how he chatted with us about all & sundry. He had such a vast knowledge of the land which was an added bonus :)
Would definitely recommend the tour.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch
Book it!
Activity Date: 2016/10/25 | Posted on: 2016/10/26

Fantastic experience with professional and fun guides. We booked this activity due to the diversity of the kayak-swim-zipline activities offered, which we thought would be perfect for our group of 6 ranging in age from 11 to 68. We were not disappointed. Easygoing and fun tour guides, great activities and a relaxed and fun atmosphere, coupled with a great lunch made for an overall epic day. Book it!

Breathtaking views
Activity Date: 2016/10/17 | Posted on: 2016/10/22

The hike was a little challenging but it was worth it to see the amazing views of the canyon. Sitting atop the waterfall for lunch was icing on the cake! Our guide was great as well.

Good Time!
Activity Date: 2016/08/31 | Posted on: 2016/09/21

This was a good time! We booked the morning and wished we booked the afternoon, as the water was quite cold. Highly recommend bike shorts and a long-sleeve Under Armor top for those who get cold easily, which was me! Going thru the tunnels was awesome and so were the guides.

Na Pali Coast Trail: Hanakapiai Beach Advanced Guided Hike with Waterfall Swim
Awesome hiking experience!
Activity Date: 2016/08/13 | Posted on: 2016/08/18

We chose the strenuous Na Pali coast hike and waterfall swim (to hanakapi'ai beach and falls) and we were definitely not let down--- the views were incredible, we got to swim by the waterfall and also along beach to a nearby cave. Our guide (Sage) was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly at home on this trail. His presence helped boost our confidence on this gorgeous but definitely not easy hike. We would recommend to any of our friends wanting to explore the Na Pali coast that this guided hike would be the way to go. We left early enough that we had the trail to ourselves for most of the time, and we learned far more than we would have if we'd gone by ourselves.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
Super fun!
Activity Date: 2016/06/15 | Posted on: 2016/07/12

We really enjoyed this activity! It was relaxing and fun. Our guides were GREAT! They were lots of fun - without them the activity wouldn't have been as fun. The tunnels we went through were cool! I was worried they would be full of spider webs but they were super clean - no worries there at all. Our only complaint was it was too short. Wish it would have lasted longer! The lunch was good - just wish we would have had more time, it felt a little rushed. Here we were in this beautiful spot but had to eat and run. I would do this again. Kids of all ages would enjoy this adventure! We had old and young in our group and everyone had a great time. One thing I wish they would do is have someone taking photos that you could purchase afterwards. Since we were in the water and couldn't really get good shots - even with a waterproof case, it would have been really nice to buy some photos of our group as we came down the river and inside of the caves so that we have some memories of it. Since we have no pictures, we have nothing to show our family and friends. They want to see pictures.

Best Adventure Yet in Kauai!
Activity Date: 2016/06/22 | Posted on: 2016/06/25

I had a absolute blast! Busting through mud, powering up hills and getting loose in the dirt... what could be more fun. The guides were great and even though I know much about Kauai, I learned even more. My family had fun holding on and getting a little muddy as I romped on the gas in the jungle and old can fields. I highly recommend this adventure!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Awesome River and Waterfall Adventure!
Activity Date: 2016/04/09 | Posted on: 2016/05/05

While this is rated Easy to Moderate, when it has been raining, it is much more Moderate than Easy! The rain brings mud and many in our group were slipping and sliding quite a bit! It is still a lot of fun and well worth the Moderate journey. The kayaking is smooth and the hike is exciting enough while still being safe if you watch your step. Brian was our guide and he was very helpful and had great stories for us. The meal was OK, but you are not going on this journey for the food. The waterfall is a great site to relax and spend time with the chickens. It's Kauai, so of course there are chickens! Would highly recommend this and I plan to go again when I next visit the island!

Have ridden 4-wheelers for years, and this was not a new experience but the scenery was great and the guides were very informative and very funny. If you have never ridden an ATV or 4X4, this would be a great adventure to take.

Guided Waterfall Rappelling Adventure in Kauai
Loved this excursion, and LOVED the team!
Activity Date: 2016/04/27 | Posted on: 2016/04/28

This was the most fun I've had on the island THUS FAR! The staff is amazing!!! Dundee, Paa (spelling?), and Kelsey did a great job giving us a demo of how to rappel. I am TERRIFIED of heights, but I felt fully confident with the expert staff there to help me. Tanya had this motherly feel so I felt really safe knowing she was at the bottom of the waterfall coaching me through. As you're rappelling one of the staff responsible for you is instructing you on what to do, where to put your foot, etc. Mostly you are trying to figure all that out yourself but when it comes to tough parts they help you out. Really great experience and SO MUCH FUN!!!! THANK YOU ALL FOR A WONDERFUL TIME AND FOR MAKING US FEEL LIKE OHANA!

Btw, if you can't swim, THIS EXCURSION IS STILL FOR YOU! I cannot swim but the bottom of the waterfall isn't really deep so it was completely fine :)

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>
A challenging kayak experience and easy trekking.
なかなかハードなカヤックとお手軽トレッキング
Activity Date: 2016/01/15 | Posted on: 2016/02/25

The morning pickup was on schedule. The participants included a couple from Alaska and another couple from America, making a total of six people. I noticed that there were overwhelmingly more male-female pairs in the kayaks, and we (two women) were lagging behind the other kayaks, struggling to catch up, which meant we missed out on hearing the guide's explanations during the kayaking.

I brought trekking shoes but ended up taking them off right from the start and paddling barefoot. After kayaking, we had to wade through a river about 10 meters wide, up to our thighs, to reach the trekking starting point.

They lend you a completely waterproof backpack, so there’s no worry about your belongings getting wet, but it is heavy during the trekking.

The trekking itself wasn't too steep, and we stopped here and there to listen to the guide's explanations, which were quite interesting, for about 40 minutes. (All six of us were moving at a similar pace, but probably a bit faster.)

At the waterfall, there were many people swimming, but even though it’s Hawaii, it was January, and that was unthinkable for us.

The lunch break was less than 30 minutes. After eating a wrap and drinking some juice, we set off again.

We walked and paddled again, and by 2 PM, we were back at the hotel. It was a tour that was dense in experience but not too intense.

朝のピックアップは予定どおり。参加者はほかにアラスカからとアメリカからのカップルで、計6名。気づけば、カヤックは男女ペアが圧倒的に多く、私たち(女2人)は他のカヤックより遅れがちで追いつくのに一所懸命で、カヤック中はガイドの説明が聞けず残念だった。
トレッキングシューズを持って行ったが、はじめから脱いで裸足で漕ぐハメに。カヤックのあとトレッキングの登り口まで幅10メートルぐらいの川を太ももまで浸かるのだった。
完全防水のリュックサック状のものを貸してくれるので荷物が濡れる心配はないが、これがトレッキングのとき重い。
トレッキングはさほど勾配もなく、ところどころ立ち止まってガイドの説明を興味深く聞きつつ、40分ほど歩いた。(6人とも同じくらいのペースだったが恐らくやや速め。)
目的地の滝では泳いでいる人もたくさんいたが、いくらハワイとはいえ1月、私たちには考えられなかった。
ランチ休憩は30分もない。ラップサンドを食べてジュースを飲んだら出発。
再び歩いて漕いで、14時にはホテルに着いていた。
密度が濃く、高くなくて良いツアー。
