Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Really enjoyable morning.

Reviewed by: LammyP

We did the 7:30am tour and am glad we got out before it got too busy on the trail. I had never kayaked before but our guide, Garrett or "G" was able to answer any questions I had and I was quickly put at ease.
The kayaking up to the trail was good and the river not too busy. The trail was around a mile or so. We knew from the pictures that there's a crossing over water but we weren't aware there were about 4 each way and that one was about hip height. It was fine, we were just taken aback a bit.
Some of the trail was muddy, some was boarded walkways and some was literally clambering over jagged rocks. Wouldn't be suitable for anyone with mobility issues!
We only had around 40 minutes at the sacred falls, which was a shame. A little longer would've been better.
A highlight was meeting a little shama thrush that G had befriended.
The trail back seemed muddier due to the amount of folk on the trail.
The kayak back was a little harder as we were going against the flow of the river, but overall it was an incredible experience.

Aloha Lammy,

You should write a guide book. Great review and gives potential clients an idea of what to expect on the river and trail.

We ...you are lucky to have Garrick sharing his particular brand of aloha. Garrett is great water man with a real handle on the natural and cultural history of the area, while keeping it all safe and fun.

We try to spend an hour by the falls, but that is always dependent on group and weather dynamics.

Your only error is paddling back you are actually paddling with the slow current, but it is paddling into the wind that can at time test your mettle.

Stay well and active and thanks for taking the time to share.

A hui hou,

Micco

Smith's Family Garden Luau - Polynesian & Fire Show, Dinner and Open Bar

Great and affordable show for a family of 5.

Reviewed by: Pilar

Our family booked the show only option and we had a wonderful time!
The performance was really colorful and the live music was a plus. The place is really pretty and well kept. All the people there were really nice! I highly recommend the experience. (We didn't do the whole Luau since we are vegan and we figured the meal experience wasn't for us)

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Wet fun!

Reviewed by: John & Debbie

We had a lot of fun doing this. The route is well laid out; the way it's designed, you'll do a lot of bumping and spinning from one end to the other. It was easy to engage with other participants. The crew was funny and went out of their way to get you to laugh. You do get wet but you don't get dunked and it's not too cold. A great way to spend an hour or two!

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Best adventure ever!!

Reviewed by: Fran Roney

My husband and I loved this tubing adventure. The setting was pristine far away from any development. A fun ride through the property to reach the entrance was interesting and the commentary from the tour guide was informative and entertaining. Then into the refreshing water. Sometimes calm and other times exciting and fast moving. Five tunnels with your “head lamps “ on!!! It was truly the most fun we have had on the island. Worth every penny!!!!

Awesome airplane tour. Great pilot/tour guide.

Reviewed by: Christine

This was a great tour and glad I chose the small airplane ride versus helicopter. Our tour guide was very informative and took note that most of us loved the waterfalls so it appeared he concentrated on this piece with extra attention. There was 6 of us in the group which was the entire plane. Two small children. Our 6 year old was extremely excited and loved the tour. She did get a bit warm in the plane towards the end. Glad we booked this tour!!!

Hidden Valleys of Kauai Waterfall Swim, Kayak & Hike Adventure

Beautiful kayak/hike tour.

Reviewed by: Chris

We didn't want anything too strenuous and this was perfect. A relaxing easy kayak down a wide river with beautiful views along the way. The hike was a bit slick and muddy but was fine with water shoes. My wife used a stick we found along the way for balance. The hike was easy and very pretty. The swimming hole is not under the falls like I pictured in my mind. The swimming hole with rope swing is before the falls. The guides were super - as friendly as can be, knowledgeable about the history and nature, and very helpful with getting into and out of kayaks, directions etc etc. They also had fun personalities and attitudes. All in all a great tour!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim

Best Activity on the Kauai!

Reviewed by: Darrin

I was excited to experience the natural beauty of Kauai by kayak and hike. What I wasn't expecting was to learn so much about the history and culture of the Wailua Valley, Wailua River, and Sacred Waterfalls. Our entire group felt like the tour was more a group of friends than a standard follow the leader tour. This was in no small part due to our fantastic tour guide, Izzy. I'd recommend asking for her.

Reply from activity provider

Aloha Darrin,

We love our clients and I personally married one.

Izzy does a particularly good job of guiding singles and families alike and making them all feel part of an extended family while at the same time keeping you safe without loosing the sense of fun.

Leaving you "thoughtful" with the history and culture of the area is considered as important as any facet of our tours.

Thanks for you kind words and will make sure to share with Izzy.

A hui hou,
