Aloha KW,

For the active senior and don't take children under 6.

Are guides are truly awesome as you discovered and do a great job imparting the natural and cultural history of the area, while keep you safe and sound.

Thanks for the 5 stars and looking forward to seeing you on our other tours, or this one, …yet again.

A hui hou,

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
A Unforgettable Adventure!!!
Activity Date: 2023/05/24 | Posted on: 2024/04/01

We were so fortunate to have our guide all to ourselves. He was so informative, patient, and watchful to make sure we had the best experience. The kayaking was challenging but Fun!!, The Hike to the waterfall was also challenging!! Never crossed a small river hanging on to a rope!!! It was Amazing!!!! You haven't really lived until you have lived this Adventure!! 100% worth every minute and every penny!! This was a birthday present for our son and it wound up being a present for all of us.

Aloha Brandon,

Since you did not mention a particular guide, will assume you are extolling all our guides.

Glad you enjoyed the river calm and the easy hike.

A swim in the pool below the falls is always electric.

Thanks for sharing.

Stay active and healthy.

We had such an amazing time! If your lucky enough to get guides Cousin Kemo and Cousin Giggles then your in for a treat. They were both super friendly and very knowledgeable about the area and sites. I loved the waterfall and the fact we got to go swimming in the pond and under the waterfall! Next time we are on the island I will definitely book this tour again.

Aloha Sara,

Thanks for helping us celebrate 40 years at the "helm"

All our tours, from ocean to rivers often combine some lower and upper body exercise.

And our guides truly love what they do and love sharing their particular brand of aloha.

Stay well and active and retain those memories.

Great experience
Activity Date: 2024/01/21 | Posted on: 2024/02/11

We were reassured that the tour would be a "go" even though rain was threatening. The group was a bit hesitant but the trip went without a hitch, even when the skies opened up and we got dumped on. The tubing portion was great and a lot of fun for all. Kiersten was a great lead guide, and her team made sure that everyone was safe. Lunch was good, but dampened by the downpour. Overall, I believe that everyone in the group had a wonderful time. We highly recommend this adventure. Special kudos to Kiersten.

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure
Awesome Time & Awesome Guide
Activity Date: 2024/01/17 | Posted on: 2024/01/21

The adventure starts with kayaking out of the marina and up the river. The current is very slow, so you have plenty of photo opportunities and chances to enjoy the views. Wear a hat and sunscreen, you don't have shade for much of this portion.
Next is a hike through the rainforest. 95% of the hike is easy. There are a few river crossings, muddy inclines, and slippery/uneven footings. The hike is definitely not grueling, and I never felt tired. But if someone had mobility or balance issues, they would struggle at a few spots. I'd take my kids, but not my grandma.
Third is lunch at the waterfall. It's an uneven/rocky area, but our lunch was good. The views here are amazing. The pool of water is VERY cold. It's shallow enough to walk all the way under the waterfall.
You get about an hour at the waterfall. Then you hike and kayak back to where you started.
Our guide was Justice. He was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife, and history of the area. He had lots of interesting stories. The trip was enjoyable & he definitely added to the fun. Justice will tell you that "Hawaii is magic" and after this vacation we might agree.
When we eventually make it back to Kauai, visiting the waterfall will surely be on the list of activities.

Wow Russell and/or Maddison,

One of you should write a guide book. Do you want to start writing copy for us? (Smiling face)

A very,,,,very good description of what is involved and might say the the excellence of our guides such as Justice.

Thanks for taking the time…it’s a beautiful world out there.

Kipu Safari Adventure - Zipline, Hike, Kayak & Waterfall Swim with Lunch
Great Adventure!
Activity Date: 2023/12/16 | Posted on: 2024/01/06

Overall it was a great experience! We had two guides, first for the kayak then another guide joined us once we were done kayaking. Both guides were easy to talk with, funny, and knew the land's history and the foliage. The fun stops with jumping into pools of water. The ziplines were a blast! The final plunge into another pool of water was awesome! The lunch was yummy. The company accommodated our request with a gluten-free bread and treat! I would highly recommend the trip!

Kauai ATV Waterfall Tour at Kipu Ranch - Off-Road 3-Hour Expedition
Exceptional Fun
Activity Date: 2023/11/30 | Posted on: 2023/12/24

Very well organized! Our guides were very informative of the area. It's the perfect blend of riding with brief stops to take amazing pictures and breathe in Kauai's beauty and gorgeous scenery. It rained throughout our tour which made it muddier and that much more fun! We saw the waterfall, but for safety reasons, weren't able to swim in it. Be sure to take clothes and SHOES you won't mind getting muddy. The facility had an area to rinse off after the tour. It's an adventure must do!

It was such a fun adventure! It was raining for most of it and we got pretty muddy. If it’s raining when you go definitely buy or bring a poncho to cut down on the mud. There were parts of the trail that felt more advanced but they guided us on how to get through.

The sites and greenery were absolutely stunning!

The guides were super pleasant and supportive. The explained everything clearly and patiently. I felt safe and supported the whole time. Learned lots of cool things!

Hidden Valleys of Kauai Waterfall Swim, Kayak & Hike Adventure
Such a great time
Activity Date: 2023/11/11 | Posted on: 2023/12/01

We had such a great time. Getting to rope swing into the pool was such fun. That in particular was my favorite part, but the whole trip was such a great way to experience the natural beauty of Hawaii. Getting towed back at the end was a really nice touch, too. Instead of being left a bit tired from rowing back my friends and I were all still energized and ready to keep having fun with the rest of our day. My only feedback is that they should change the picture and thumbnail that's associated with this listing on the website. The waterfall in that photo is not part of this trip, so it's misleading. The waterfalls you will see are much smaller, though the trip is still fun.

We had a very good time paddling and hiking although the place was very crowdy. Our tourguide had everything under control.
And now I know what people mean when they say the tour is a muddy mess after heavy rain. But this is part of the game and as our tourguide said: „you are going to be wet and muddy anyway“

Aloha Conny,

Thanks for giving us 4 stars even though there was mud.

That said, more mud, means the waterfall will be flowing stronger and impressive.

Glad you enjoyed.

Stay active and well.

We booked the Tubing Tour as a part of our honeymoon, and had an amazing time. Our tour guide was Bubu, and she was knowledgeable and helpful about the history of Kaua’i as well as giving us helpful suggestions on where to go while we were here. The tour itself started with a bus ride through the Kaua’i scenery while Bubu entertained us with interesting facts and stories.

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals
I did a lot of excursions on Kauai, and this is in my top 2
Activity Date: 2023/08/16 | Posted on: 2023/09/17

I probably experienced this excursion in the one of the worst ways possible: it was overcast and rainy, it had torrential downpoured right when we arrived at the canal, I was just wearing a one-piece bathing suit (no shorts or sleeves), I'm a freeze baby, the tour guide wasn't too friendly (probably because he was called into work last minute), but despite all those things, I TRULY LOVE AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ACTIVITY! I was really nervous I would be cold, but I was comfortable the whole time. Just my butt touched the water unless my husband splashed me lol. The downpour didn't last long either and the majority of the ride was under tunnels. The ride was so much fun. Our tubes sort of acted like bumper cars as the water pushed us this a way and that a way. Not only was it a fun ride, the number 1 reason why I love this activity is because it isn't just a lazy river or crazy river manmade for the purpose of tourism. The canal and tunnels were made in the late 1800s for the sugar cane plantations (now defunct). (Tunnels are checked every year ensuring safe operation!) I think it is a great way to optimize a resource that no longer has its original purpose. Of the paid excursions I did in Kauai (boat tour, helicopter tour, hula show, spiderman/superman ziplining), this mountain tubing excursion is in my TOP 2 MUST DOs.
