Overview

This Kauai Kayak and Hike to Secret Falls with Expert Guide tour lasts about five hours. It begins with check-in at Duke's Kayak Adventures. After check-in, participants transfer to the Wailua River State Park marina to start kayaking. The group paddles along the Wailua River for about 15 minutes, guided by a professional who explains Hawaiian myths, legends, and history related to the area. After kayaking, the tour continues with a hike of approximately two miles through rocky, muddy, and slippery tropical forest terrain. The hike ends at Secret Falls, also called Uluwehi Falls, a 100-foot waterfall. Guests have about 30 minutes at the falls to swim, take photos, relax, and eat snacks. The tour includes all activities, a professional guide, use of a backpack-style dry bag, and covers all taxes and fees. Lunch, hotel transportation, drinking water, gratuities, and parking fees are not included. Participants must be in good physical condition and wear secure footwear; flip-flops are not allowed. The tour is not recommended for those with recent back, knee, or ankle injuries or open wounds. Guests should bring water, swimsuits, hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, mosquito repellent, snacks, and a towel. Cell phones or cameras that are not waterproof should be protected with Ziploc bags. Alcohol is prohibited. The age range for participants is 13 to 69. A Hawaii State fee of five dollars per person and ten dollars per car applies and must be paid by the customer. The tour departs immediately after check-in, so late arrivals are not permitted.
