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

Great experience!

Reviewed by: NA

I am satisfied with the guides' knowledge and humor. On the way back, the kayak was moving too fast and we returned earlier than planned. It would have been better if the guide had encouraged the participants to paddle more slowly and enjoy the river cruise at a leisurely pace.
Even an 8 year old girl was able to keep up well enough.

Aloha Na,

Sounds like you had a stellar group.

We generally paddle as fast as the slowest person/couple and that usually allows those who are more fleet, to go at a slower pace and take in the scenery.

Thanks for the 5 stars and enjoy that 8 year old; they grow up much too fast.

A hui hou,

Kauai Jurassic ATV Tour at Kipu Ranch - Ultimate Mountain Off-Road Adventure

Fantastic side by side tour of Kipu Ranch

Reviewed by: Sarah G

Fantastic tour of an amazing place. You see lots of incredible scenery and see where tons of your favorite movies were filmed. The tour is a good balance of learning about the ranch and having a great time driving the side by sides.
They definitely prioritize safety and make sure everyone is doing what they should be in order to have a good time.
You will get dirty from driving on the dusty roads. If you wear contacts be sure to use the goggles they provide to keep the dust out of your eyes.
They also provide a bandana which helps keep the dust our of your mouth/nose.

Kauai Hiking Eco-Adventure Tour & Private Waterfall Swim

Great time at the waterfalls!

Reviewed by: Debbie B

Great activity for those who want to get the opportunity to swim in a waterfall. The hike to the waterfalls was relatively short although somewhat slippery at times. We had hiking shoes which I would definitely recommend. Folker our guide did a great job of explaining the culture and plants around us as we hiked, as well as giving us tidbits to keep us safe along the way. It was an incredible few hours and one we will surely remember.

Koloa 8-Line Zipline Adventure - Kauai's Most Adventurous Zip Tour

Soaring through Paradise

Reviewed by: The Kimmel Family

Trying to find activities that appeal to a family, like mine, that ranges in age from 13 to 60 can be challenging, but this zipline adventures was a winner for all!

Thanks to our team of Payton, Jayden, and Tyler, my family was safe and entertained from equipment prep to zipping through the trees to our final return. We loved our up-close-and-personal view of movie props and backdrops to nature in all of its glory. In true Hawaii fashion, we got sun, clouds, light rain, and a picturesque rainbow all during our tour.

We started with easy zips to acquaint ourselves with the equipment and procedures. In no time, we were ready to FLY superman-style and zip UPSIDE DOWN (all optional, of course!).

We had hours of phone-free fun. We survived a dinosaur attack - if you know, you know - and we can't wait to do it again.

Big thanks to Jayden for helping a scared mom master her fear of flying to see Kauai in the most exciting way!

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

Great time!

Reviewed by: Megan

My husband and I, along with our 19 & 15 year old daughters, thoroughly enjoyed the Sacred Falls adventure. Kayaking up the river was peaceful and beautiful as the river is very calm. The hike was fun with some scrambling over rocks and roots and wading through streams. We enjoyed eating lunch by the waterfall before trekking back. Our guide, Izzy, was fantastic - super easy to be around, very encouraging, and she grave great beach/dining suggestions at the end. We loved it!

Aloha Megan,

Glad you enjoyed Izzy's show and the paddle and hike to the falls.

A plus when you are under Izzy's "tutelage" she will fill your agenda with alternative activities to avail yourselves of while you stay on our little island.

Thanks for nice review.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Very Fun!

Reviewed by: Deb and Daughter

We really enjoyed this tour. We really appreciated Athens as our guide, he was upbeat, fun and informative! We even learned new things about the sugarcane industry as well as great local places to go after the tour. The tour was really fun and a unique thing to do in Kauai. Make sure you are comfortable with your back sitting in an innertube in the water and going through darkened tunnels in some narrow spaces with a group of people and then sometimes pushing off the wall of the tunnels with your feet and arms. We even had some really little kids about 6 years who enjoyed it. The water was shallow with very small rapids and it was fun and felt very safe at all times, they made sure to have multiple guides watching over us throughout. Highly recommend!

Kauai Hiking Eco-Adventure Tour & Private Waterfall Swim

A sweaty hike culminates in a refreshing waterfall swim!

Reviewed by: Will

I enjoyed this excursion. The hike was fairly strenuous, but I managed. Be sure to hold onto the ropes along the trail as it can be muddy and slippery. The big highlight of this activity is when you reach the 60-foot waterfall. I swam out to it and sat beneath it. Awesome! The guide was pleasant and was quite knowledgeable regarding all the flora and fauna. I would recommend this excursion!

Sacred Falls Tour 5/27

Reviewed by: CN

I loved this tour and would recommend it to anyone coming to Kauai for their 1st or 10th time! This tour is the perfect level of activity with the 2 mile kayak breezing by and the 1.5 mile hike not feeling very strenuous. Izzy was so kind and accommodating towards everyone in our group regardless of our fitness level. She made the tour feel more personalized, which was so special. The waterfall is absolutely beautiful, and words don't do justice to how refreshing the water feels. Izzy also provided our group some recommendations for Farmer's Markets and restaurants on the island, which I will keep in mind for myself and others' future trips!

Aloha CN,

Izzy remains the "Queen of the Wailua" with her tours that are fun and fact filled, while keeping you safe.

Kauai Backcountry Adventures Mountain Tubing Tour with Lunch

Fun Times in Kauai

Reviewed by: Paula

This was a great adventure - something we have wanted to do for quite a while. The entire experience was well run, very organized, and clear on expectations. Directions to the facility, instructions on what to bring, and the itinerary were specific and clear.

The ride up to the tubing location was fun and Chelsea made the ride interesting with her presentation of the history and landscape of the area and island. Her reverence for the locals was awesome.

The tubing experience itself was as adventure and fun! It was very relaxing. The few times when one might feel a little anxious, the guides were calming in explaining exactly what to do and what to expect.

Upon return, the fresh and homemade items for lunch was tasty and hit the spot after the adventure.

Excellent time!

Exhilarating Mountain Tubing Adventure in Lihue

Reviewed by: Ryan H.

The 3-Hour Lihue Mountain Tubing Adventure is an absolute must-do in Kauai! The friendly staff got us geared up quickly with helmets and headlamps before we headed up the mountain, where our guide shared intriguing island tales.

Entering the water on our personal tubes, we were immediately swept up by the gentle flow of the historic irrigation canals. The open-air sections offered stunning views of the lush mountains, and the excitement ramped up as we approached the tunnels. The darkness was exhilarating, and our headlamps revealed the fascinating contours of these subterranean passages.

Our guides were terrific, ensuring safety and adding to the fun with their engaging personalities. The adventure wrapped up with a delicious picnic, giving us a chance to chat about our shared experience. This mountain tubing adventure was the highlight of my Kauai visit – an unforgettable mix of natural beauty, history, and thrill.

What a can I say..... 10 out of 10

Reviewed by: Mr and Mrs Sanders

My husband and I had a feeling this would be fun, which is why we booked this excursion. But we had no idea what a blast this really was! The "lookouts" that we stopped at during our ride were truly breathtaking. Our guides were super informative and had a good sense of humor. Believe me, you get it all during this excursion, fun, adventure, even a bit of "what did I get myself into" moments. Don't worry, you are safe and your guides are always right with you. Not to mention they won't take you onto trails you can't handle. Be prepared to get dirty! As our guide told us, embrace it, you can't get around it. But just fyi, bring extra shoes, a change of clothes and a towel. We happen to go on a day that was pretty wet from a storm. We were a mess! Loved all of it though. Highly recommend this excursion.

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

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Becky / John

We had the best day!!! From the beautiful weather, the calm kayak conditions, the lush hiking environment, the spectacular falls and our amazing guide Justice, we could not have had a better experience. Justice was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable, funny (dad jokes lol), patient and an overall great guide who thoroughly enjoys what he does.
As novice kayakers, we had no issues but the river was very calm with very little wind.
As intermediate hikers we found the trail fairly easy to navigate as long as we were mindful on the rocks and roots. On the hike, you WILL get muddy and you WILL get wet crossing 4 streams and 1 river but it’s all worth it once you reach the breathtaking falls.
The lunch supplied by the tour was pretty good too as we picnicked at the falls.
Hiking shoes/sandals or running shoes are best. For anyone with mobility issues, they may find parts of the hike difficult.
We would highly recommend this tour as it was the highlight of our time on Kauai!!

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

Rising river cancelled half the trip but not half the cost.

Reviewed by: Reid Johnson

The guide was excellent, the river and surroundings were breathtaking. Unfortunately, high winds and a rising river stopped our paddles without ever seeing the falls. Weather is unpredictable, but since we paddled twice as hard against the winds, it was exhausting. Thought there might be a discount of some kind since our 4 hr. tour only lasted 2 1/2. Better luck next time, I guess. Would do it again with better conditions.

All our guides are excellent and do a great job in not only sharing the cultural and natural history of the area, but most important keeping you safe in questionable weather.

We do offer a discount when weather conspires and abbreviates a tour. Veltra should be extending a discount; if not, you know how to reach us.

Stay well and look forward to your return.
