Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

Fun, unique adventure with a great crew!

Reviewed by: Lolo

Perfect weather and a great crew led by Seth make it a very fun, unique experience on Kauai. The water had spins and sloshes as we cascaded down the mountain. The tunnels and the history was interesting.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

AMAZING TIME

Reviewed by: April & Anthony (honeymooners)

My husband and I did this tour last week for our honeymoon and had an incredible time. Our hosts were Jason, Caden and Zara (aka Jason, Jason, and Jason lol) and they were all excellent. They definitely deserve raises! :) We were highly impressed by how well structured the tour was, from the very beginning and how safety was their top priority (my husband is a safety manager and took notice). We can't wait to return in the future!

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Great Day!

Reviewed by: Great Day!

A very fun adventure. Beautiful kayak trip on the Wailua River. The river was very calm and both ways were fairly easy to traverse. A little bit of wind on the way back made it a tiny bit more difficult but not much. The hike was fun. The last part gets a bit technical due to large wet rocks and such and being a bit older slowed us down some especially on the way back. Our guide, Harrison, was fantastic and helped us through the short area that was really difficult. The falls are majestic and I feel so lucky to have been there. It was a great day!

Aloha Great Day,

Glad to hear that Harrison helped you have yet another Great Day on our Wailua River paddle and hike to the falls.

Thank you for warning folks that the road to paradise can be strewn with some wet rocks and some contrary winds, which is doable by most.

Keep reaching and searching for waterfalls and we are please do have helped you have another great day.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Awesome

Reviewed by: Sumsiontk

This excursion is a must do. The views were incredible. It does take time to get there, 2 mile row in after which you hike for about 1.25 miles to the falls. The guide told us some great facts about the area. They teach you how to paddle if you have never done that before. You do have to cross the river and depending on the rainfall, it can be deep. This is mildly strenuous, you will be walking on uneven ground with rocks and cross a river, good water/hiking shoes a must. You will need to help carry the kayaks to the water and back, not very long and there are usually 4 people to a kayak to carry. Part of the trail does have wood planks to walk on, but the first part of the trail does not. It was beautiful and the falls were full when we got to the top, not always the case, depends on the amount of rainfall they have had. Highly recommend.

We we on Kauai 7 years ago and the highlight of that visit was the tubing adventure.
We returned this year and doing it again was a no brainer.
From the pre-adventure information meeting, the ride out to the site ( with excellent information from the guide along the way), the other guides that we met at the site were fun and helpful.
Of course the highlight was the run down the canal on the tubs was great fun.
We had a. Great group of people who all added to the fun, chatting, and yelling along the was( especially when we were in the tunnels.
Lunch hit the spot right we we needed it.
I would not hesitate to do this again when we visit again.

This kayaking and hiking adventure was so awesome! I was worried the kayaking and hike might be difficult but it was perfect! I’ve never been kayaking before and this was a great intro for me! The hike was absolutely beautiful as well and mostly on a board walk which is nice so you’re not having to climb through or slip in the mud. The waterfall was a tad dried up but still so
beautiful and fun to swim to. Our guide Jeff was awesome as well. Very kind and friendly and knowledgeable about Kauai. I would HIGHLY recommend the is excursion and would love to do it again!

Aloha Tingey,

Your guide Jeffrey will be happy to know that you enjoyed the paddle and hike to the falls.

For most the learning curve for paddling a kayak is fast, but then there are some….

Anyway, come back and hopefully the waterfall will be primed and gushing (we have had a dry winter so far)

Thanks for taking the time to share.
