Overview

This guided group tour lasts about four and a half hours and includes kayaking and hiking in Kauai. Participants start with a paddle along the Wailua River, covering approximately four miles roundtrip through rainforest surroundings. All kayak gear, including the kayak, backrests, personal flotation devices, and paddles, is provided and set up by the guide. After kayaking, the group hikes roughly two miles roundtrip on a trail that includes stream crossings, uneven terrain, and an elevation gain of 465 feet. The hike leads to Uluwehi Falls, also known as Secret Falls, a 120-foot waterfall. The tour requires participants to be physically able to paddle and hike moderately strenuous terrain and to bring suitable closed-toe shoes or strapped sandals. Lunch and transportation to and from the meeting point are not included.

Itinerary

1

Challenge yourself with a Kauai adventure designed for nature lovers and thrill-seekers. Start with a 2-mile guided paddle through the valley of the Wailua River, flanked by lush jungles and ancient Hawaiian landmarks. After beaching your kayak, lace up for a moderate-to-strenuous 1.5-mile hike deep into the rainforest, crossing streams and navigating muddy paths with help from expert guides. Along the way, discover local flora and fauna, learn about island legends, and connect with the beauty of Kauai. Your journey culminates at the awe-inspiring Uluwehi Falls, where you’ll have time to relax, take photos, and soak in the natural pools at the foot of the cascade. This immersive experience is best for adventurers in good physical condition who are ready to paddle, hike, and get a little muddy for the ultimate reward—one of Kauai’s best-kept natural wonders.
