Great time. Good solid adventure and not too much exertion for relatively fit mid-40s husband and wife. Water was cold in February but probably feels nice in summer. Josh was a great guide- lots of interesting history and knowledge along the way. Be sure to hike in the puddles, as odd as that sounds. It has the best footing and you are going to get muddy and wet anyway.

the scenery was lovely and the grotto very unique
the music on the way back and the dancing was great and even got to practice ourselves
the weather could have been better but no control over that

My husband and I came to Kauai for my 50th birthday. This show was truly the highlight of our entire trip. It was worth every dime. This show provides a true Hawaiian experience from the food, the show, tour of the property, and the fern grotto river tour.

I do this event annually in Kaua'i.. Great , safe family fun.
Water, at its deepest, is 3 feet. The staff is wonderful. The best experience, in my opinion, is tubing in paradise on a rainy day! Oh. My. God! The BEST experience EVER !. Don't pass up this experience. ........ place this on your " must do "
list. Young children ( > =6, life jackets provided) and older adults ( > 60, if you can stand alone and walk 20 yards unassisted ) friendly! Hope to see you there!

The cruise was very relaxing and had beautiful scenery. The captain Louie and first mate/ bartender Jason were awesome. So friendly and knowledgeable. During the cruise Louie told us a lot of history. Jason made great drinks and had good conversation about Kauai. We cruised through the bay and down the river. The boat was very clean and well maintained. The only negative is that I would have liked to go down the coastline more but that’s always weather and wave depending. I would do this cruise again.

I thought I already submitted my review but I’ll do it again. Louis our Captain was very fun and knowledgeable. Jason was fun and made amazing drinks. The views were breathtaking. Something different and unique to do that was affordable on the island. I have been to the island many times but have never seen the river like this. Fun movie sites and historic landmarks. Would do it again for sure!!

There were four of us that did this cruise together. It was very relaxing and beautiful scenery the Caption Louie and first mate / bartender Jason were very personable and knowledgeable. They had a good variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks that were served freely during the whole cruise. I would recommend this cruise however keep in mind they only go down the river and in the bay. They do not go along the coastline. If you are looking for smooth and relaxing river boat ride then you would enjoy this cruise.

We had a group of 4 people and it was a small group on board. The boat is clean and beautiful. Louis our Captain,was very knowledgeable about the history and pointed out very cool sites along the way down the river.
Jason,his crew member was very friendly and made excellent cocktails!! Both guys made our trip memorable and the beauty of Kauai was amazing. The instructions on the description through this website were a little confusing We thought we had a shore entry. They actually drive you from the Check in spot to the port. Just a few minutes away. No big deal. But a little confusing. Would definitely recommend.

This was a great experience for my wife, our 16-year old daughter and me! And our guide, Tyler, was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the various interesting things we experienced along the river and the trail leading up to the waterfall. We highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Kauai!
Yes, the trail is muddy, but you just have to, in Tyler's words, "Embrace the mud" and not worry about it and your experience will be much enhanced. And the falls at the end were magnificent -- my daughter and I swam up to the base of them and the winds had spray had to be hurricane-force.
My only advice is to book the early-morning tours, before the crowds begin showing up. That way, you will have the trail (and the falls) mostly to yourself, and the mud won't be as bad.
This was a great experience and is highly recommended. Thanks Tyler!
Aloha Mike,
Nice review and correct, if you come with the mind set that it will be muddy, you will have better time.
We are blessed to have Tyler working with us.
Morning tours are definitely nice, but ending the day on the river is not too shabby either.
Thanks for sharing and thanks for making it possible and for your kind words.
A hui hou,
Micco

We had a great time doing this. The guys were super friendly and relaxed and nice. My brother and I had some experience with scuba, but our kids--ages 16, 13 and 11--did not. It was a quick orientation and we were in the water. We walked right in off the beach. The kids did great. My son had a little trouble being comfortable breathing through a regulator, but still enjoyed it. He just stayed up closer to the surface. The other two had no difficulty with it at all. I was actually surprised at all the different fish we saw. It's not like you're swimming with hundreds of fish all around you, but that's just not available in an outing like this. But it was a great experience that all of us enjoyed and it didn't have to be an all-day commitment.

The whole experience was fantastic! Adam, our guide, was super friendly and great to talk to. He was very knowledgeable.
For those planning this, the kayak trip was a little work so be prepared for that. My husband and I thought we were in great shape but we struggled a bit. It’s 2.5 miles of fast, no break, paddling. The hike was super fun. Again, be prepared to work a little. You will hike in ankle deep mud in places. It’s slippery so the walking stick (supplied) was a big help. We saw a
lot of people struggle.
The waterfall was breathtaking. Eating lunch there was surreal. Definitely worth doing!

Aloha Dan,
Glad you enjoyed your Wailua River Secret/Sacred Falls tour with your guide Josh. Thanks for your wise council on the trail. I think more folks have gotten injured trying to avoid puddles instead of just plowing through them and resigning themselves to wet shoes and mud.
Your guide, as all our excellent guides at Kayak Kaua'i, bring a real love to what they do and there to keep you informed, entertained and safe.
Stay paddling and hiking. Until our paths cross.
A hui hou,
Micco
