Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Best part of our trip to Kauai!
Reviewed by: J’Neal
This tour was by far our favorite part of our entire trip. The kayaking is beautiful and relaxing - easy enough for beginners (like some people in our group) but still very enjoyable for seasoned kayakers like my husband and me. The hike was also a lot of fun. A bit challenging at times - not so much in the way of fitness, but more-so because there are some places where it’s uneven and slippery. But as long as you wear good water shoes and step carefully, it’s a fairly easy hike even for someone that’s out of shape like me. The waterfall and swimming hole are stunning. Totally worth the muddy hike. Something we’ll never forget. And the guides are AMAZING! Our guide was Garrick - he was super knowledgeable, friendly, fun, and funny. He made the entire trip a blast. And at one point we met up with another group and their guide, Ty, was also super knowledgeable and funny - and played the ukulele on the hike back down. It was great! I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Kauai and would definitely do it again.

Smith's Kauai Wailua River Cruise to Fern Grotto with Live Entertainment
Very enjoyable river cruise
Reviewed by: Lisa
Great opportunity to sit back, relax and enjoy and hour and 20 minutes on the Wailua River and “getting married” at the Fern Grotto. The music and hula dancing on the journey up the river added a wonderful ambiance and the history and information on movies filmed on and around the Wailua on the way back was very informative. All in all a wonderful addition to our trip to Hawaii.

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Challenging but worth it!
Reviewed by: Mary W
As a beginning kayaker, this was an energizing and satisfying ride. Make sure you have sturdy shoes for the hike. Our water ‘shoes’, more like socks, did not work as well as the closed toed more sturdy shoes would have been better and what most people had on. We made it though! That dip in the waterfall was worth the whole trip! J, our guide, was informative, attentive and amusing. Highly recommended.
Aloha Mary,
Yep…just the right amount of paddling and hiking. By the time your arms are getting tired…you are out and hiking to the falls.
Thanks for taking time to share and reflect on your tour with your guide Jay.
Sturdy hiking shoes makes it much more enjoyable; thanks for warning others.
Keep active and sharing aloha,
Thanks again for your nice review.
A hui hou,
Micco

Introductory Two-Tank Kauai Scuba Diving Boat Tour (from Poipu)
Outstanding experience! Turtles! Huge Eel! Octopus! Tons of beautiful fish! Great teaching! Made it almost effortless!
Reviewed by: Kyle
My wife was reluctant to try scuba. These guys taught us we'll and quickly. They made it all so easy. They took great care of us and really made sure we enjoyed our time. We loved every minute and didn't want it to end!
The water was choppy when we went out, and I am usually not prone to motion sickness, but I did feel sick in the boat (but not underwater!). I'd recommend some good motion sickness medicine for the boat ride.

Aloha ! Remarkable performances by the musicians and Aloha dancers. A very entertaining group! My family was amazed all througout the river cruise. The walk to the Fern Grotto was a unique experience because the beauty of the lush and large tropical plants was amazing and beautiful. Overall, an exciting experience to see a beautiful garden ( Fern Grotto) . It is very well recommended to have the river cruise and if we come back to Kauai, we will do the Wailua river cruise again.

We had an amazing day!! Enjoyed seeing incredible views of Kauai and learning about the island from our guide Simon. He was friendly, knowledgeable and took care to design the tour around our interests. We saw Waimea canyon and did a short hike with incredible views, it was perfect - and not something we could have done or necessarily known about on our own. Coffee farm and fruit stand stops added by request, the relaxed pace was great. Overall fantastic experience!

Sacred Falls Adventure - Wailua River Kayak, Hike & Waterfall Swim
Kayaking Only
Reviewed by: Gina M.
We went on a 2 hour kayaking trip. Unfortunately, the hike/sacred falls was cancelled due to inclement weather. It was a bummer, but we know it was for our safety. However, it did hurt a little when we were seeing others continuing to go past the fork in the river. We did get a partial refund. After concluding our kayaking trip, our tour guide Tyler did point us to the Nounou trail to hike which was great. So we were able to fill more of our day on this hike with spectacular views!
Aloha Gina,
Safety is no accident!
When in doubt we don't go out or up the North Fork that constricts and is more prone to flooding as consequence.
Having pioneered the tour we have safely been guiding folks to the falls for the last 37 years while other companies have lost clients in flood like conditions.
We love repeat business and believe "safety is no accident".
Glad to hear that Tyler was able to take curve and make it a plus.
Stay well and safe. Thanks for sharing.
A hui hou,
Micco

What a nice review with some advice of how to negotiate the often muddy trail. As you shared good water shoes helps allot.
Thanks for taking the time to let us know, well I mean that Garrick, continues to do good if not great job. Glad that you got to meet one of our other guides Tyler as well.
I can honestly say we have a great group of guides who truly love what they do and are their to interpret and share their particular and unique form of aloha.
Thanks for making it possible. You both sound like you might be candidates for our day long Na Pali sea kayak tour.
Stay active.
