Easy kayaking. The hike is easy but take your time not to fall. Our guide was helpful at crossing all more challenging obatacles. Beautiful falls and swimming area. Nice lunch.

Our family of four had a great time! Everyone was friendly and helpful. The event lasted 4 hours from start to finish, and is the best luau that we have been to so far. We would definitely go back!

This was a great time. This was our first time in kayak and we did awesome as our guide said. The hike to the falls was muddy but well worth it. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a little adventure.
Thanks Ron for a nice review. Summer "dryness" has arrived and the trail is a wee bit less muddy. Thanks for warning folks about the mud.
Stay paddling and hiking.

We had such an amazing time in Kauai, but one of our favorite events was the Kayak and Snorkel excursion up the Hanalei River Anne snorkeling on the reef. Our guides, Lisa and Steve, did amazing jobs. I’d highly recommend it to anyone!
Mark...usually reply to review in a timely fashion. May have been paddling myself.
We are in the summer calms and the snorkeling has been dynamite.
We are waiting for your return.
Thanks for a nice review.

Overall I had fun. The trip is basically kayak for 2 miles, hike for 1 mile, visit a 100' water fall, and then hike back for 1 mile and then kayak for 2 miles. Since I like physical activity, this trip worked well for me.
Kayaking requires some physical work, and since there are 2 people per kayak, at last one should be in good physical shape.
Hiking was through lots of mud. You will cross streams, ankle deep mud, and will get dirty. Best to wear sandals since sneakers will be ruined. My youngest son loved this part (getting dirty is always fun).
Aloha John,
Thanks for taking the time and for your nice and constructive review on what to expect and what to bring.
If you don't like to paddle and hike this could be wrong tour for some.
Keep active...and thanks again.
A hui hou,

The Smith's family is awesome and entertaining. Wear mosquito repellent when going, just a taught. They sing and entertain as you travel up the fern grotto and had us all doing the hoki pokie. We will be doing their luau too so we'll let you know how it goes!

We had a great time on this tour! For our group of 18ish people we had three guides that were constantly working hard to make sure we were having a good time, and being safe. This is not white water rafting- this is a float tube trip. So if you are expecting rapids and fast action, this is not it. We read several negative reviews regarding cancellations due to rain. Yep. I get it. It sucks. But there are points where you are traveling in tunnels, and if it rained too much - you won’t fit in the tunnel. Rain = higher water. We read other reviews about being separated from your party- yep- it happens, but if you ask any of the guides, they will help you join your friends. Our family had a really nice time.

This was an excellent way to explore the ocean without having experience in scuba diving. Kevin was patient, informative, and an overall great guide. My only advice is to consider the excursion before committing. The water can be a bit rough and there is a good deal of information to consider. My wife backed out at the last minute but she was also on the fence about going in the first place. My 15 and 11 year old had a great time as did I.

I am so glad we decided to go to this Luau. The dancers were amazing, food terrific, and the gentleman who was leading the show was hilarious! I would definitely recommend this luau if you’re wanting a traditional Hawaiian luau. The announcer takes you through all the islands, explains the dances, and even teaches you how to say hello in Tahitian/Samoan/Hawaiian.

A beautiful, unique, and memorable experience. The guide was friendly and helpful, everyone was able to paddle up the river at their own pace, the river is lined with greenery, but the real treats were the hike along a gorgeous trail with amazing foliage and, of course, the waterfall. Swimming in the pool at the base of the waterfall and looking up at the water pouring over the cliff is an experience like no other. I went with my teenage daughter on a beautiful sunny day. There were no significant recent rains, so the trail was not muddy or slippery and the hike wasn't strenuous at all. I highly recommend this tour!
Aloha Renee,
Glad you enjoyed our Wailua River paddle and hike to the Sacred Falls with your daughter.
Yes it’s pretty classic and you gave a really nice review. Thanks for taking the time and until our trails cross.
Stay paddling and hiking.

Beautiful sights! As we saw the sights he explained what we were seeing. Loved seeing the place they filmed Jurassic World and the history of the families that have lived there for generations. Very comfortable ride and we could ask questions as we went along. Highly recommend this company. They show you a safety video before which is informative. The company is very serious about safety. Also loved the video they took while we were flying which we bought for a very reasonable price. Wouldn’t fly with any other company.

My husband and I had an awesome time with our guides Joshua and Lumbo. They took us on a fun, wild-ride ATV adventure and told us some cool history about the Kipu Ranch, including details about Hollywood movies filmed there. One stop along the route included an opportunity to swing from a rope swing from the same tree (same tree, new rope) Harrison Ford used as Indiana Jones in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark!
Another stop included a delicious lunch of sandwiches, fruit, chips, cookies, and water. I was impressed with the tablecloths and individually wrapped moist towels (actual towels) handed out to clean off all the dirt on our hands and face from our ride. It was also really interesting to chat with the guides about their lives on the island and pick their brains about Kipu Ranch trivia. Joshua just had his third child last week, and Lumbo has 6 kids!
Our final stop was at a picturesque waterfall where we were all able to swim to the waterfall!
Tips: Wear closed toed shoes you don’t mind swimming in because you must wear shoes in the water. Wear a swimsuit under your clothes if you want to swim at the waterfall or swing on the rope swing into the water. Bring a towel unless you don’t mind air drying. Also, your clothes will definitely get dirty! Keep a change of clothes in the car unless you don’t mind the dirt in your car. In case you’re wondering, the water is definitely cold.
A nice bonus is that the company gives you complementary bandannas to wear over your nose and mouth to keep the dirt out. The bandanna serves as a cool souvenir afterwards! Also, one of our guides, Joshua, was especially gifted at taking cell phone pictures. If you luck out with him as your guide, let him take your pictures!
