Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Paddle & Hike

Reviewed by: Conny

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.

A hui hou,

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore

A Wonderful Experience and Way to See Kauai

Reviewed by: California tourists

Kevin picked us up at our hotel on time and spent the day showing us the west and south sides of Kauai. He gave us lessons in pronouncing Hawaiian words, the geology of Kauai, and history of Kauai, while driving from viewpoint to viewpoint. He was sensitive to what we were interested in and what types of food we wanted for lunch. We were impressed that he understood the weather patterns, kept a constant watch on the clouds, and was able to get us to the Waimea Canyon and Na Pali coast viewpoints at times when we could see the views.

We had a most enjoyable day and would highly recommend tour guide Kevin and The Ultimate Kauai Private Island Tour - South and West tour.

  • South Coast

  • Viewpoint of North Shore

Bubu’s Amazing Tour

Reviewed by: Alexis

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

Reviewed by: BKST

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.

Ultimate Kauai Private Guided Island Tour - Waimea Canyon & South Shore

It struggled to be too comprehensive.

Reviewed by: John

My wife and I had taken guided tours before mainly in the Carribean. On those tours, we stopped for various activities: touring a ruin, lunch on the beach, and a hike through a rainforest. Our guide, Kevin, did an excellent job trying to show us everything (and finding restrooms). The fault was not in the guide but in the attempted scope of the tour. It was six hours of driving and stopping for photos and then more driving. For instance, there were two waterfalls on the tour: One (twin falls) in the great distance and the other along the roadside (blink and you would miss it). It would be better if we could be taken to the trailhead and allowed to hike close to the falls. Or maybe with some preplanning, we could have swum at one of the beaches we stopped at. Although my wife and I are in our 60s and 70s, we are both very active. It was an introduction to the Island but we were exhausted at the end of the six hours.

Great hosts we had, very informative about route, scenery, and hazards to watch for. The waterfall was really shorter than I expected and that day showed too much dirt in the bottom of the waterfall lagoon area.

Tubing was our favorite adventure. the drive out there was beautiful and our guide shared a lot of history and info about the island. Then the tubing was so fun. I thought i would be afraid of the caves but it was fun. Lots of spinning around and bumping into each other. The pictures turned out great.

Family of four- two adult sons, enjoyed this spacious home. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfy and each with their own amazing views. Kitchen had more than enough to cook meals and enjoy local food. Favorite spot was the patio off the living room. So lush. Private. Beautiful chickens roaming and kittens. Quiet neighborhood. Took beautiful walks. Enjoyed the nearby resort for sunset and dinner. Saturdays go to the Farmers Market. Responsive replies. Plenty of beach stuff as well. Great washer and dryer set up. Books, puzzles, and games galore. Just a lovely experience!

Kauai Mountain Tubing Adventure – Float Through Jungle Tunnels & Canals

I personally think it's a bit overrated

Reviewed by: Chuang

The tour guide (a Hawaiian teenage girl, very energetic) is super awesome and nice, the safety tour guides also works super hard. It's the tour itself that I gave this rating. The tube would keep spinning and spinning which made me dizzy and created minor headache. I really hope that there is a way to force the tube to alway look forward. Some sort of a "1-person" short floaty canoe or kayak would have made this tour much more enjoyable. Thanks!

  • relaxing but watch out for spinning

Wailua River Kayak & Secret Falls Hike - Guided Kauai Adventure

Fantastic tour-GREAT tour guide!

Reviewed by: Wilson Family

The kayak/hiking/waterfall tour was beautiful. Exactly what we were looking for. Tour guide Harrison was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the local flora/fauna, history. Harrison was cool with letting our 10 year old daughter double kayak with him (she didn’t want to ride with mom and dad!). Lunch sandwiches were very yummy. Tour guide even provided a chilled pineapple after the tour. Harrison made sure we all had transportation after the tour and actually went out of his way to drop us off at the beach across the highway in his own personal vehicle. 100% recommend and would use again!! Also-prepare to get muddy LOL

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Wilson O'hana,

Harrison does it again, i.e. provides a classic effort, as he does on all his tours.

We are the only tour company on the Wailua that provides pretty good lunches; my favorite is the veggie.

Will share your kind words with Harrison…slowly; don't want it to go to his head.

Thanks for sharing and warning folks about the mud.

A hui hou,

Micco
