This expert-guided kayak tour in Kauai lasts about 5 to 6 hours and covers 4 miles paddling round trip on the Wailua River within Wailua River State Park. Participants use tandem kayaks equipped with paddles, back rests, and dry bags. The guides share information about the local plants, animals, and history of this sacred river, which was originally traveled by the first Hawaiians nearly 1,500 years ago. After paddling upriver, the group hikes approximately 1.5 miles each way through the rainforest to reach Secret Falls, also known as Uluwehi Falls. This waterfall drops 110 feet into a swimming hole where guests can swim and have lunch provided as part of the tour. The hiking trail includes four river crossings with loose rocks and unpaved sections, so closed-toe shoes or reef sandals that can get wet are required. After lunch and swimming, the group hikes back to the kayaks for the return paddle. Entrance fees are not included and must be paid separately. The tour operates rain or shine unless a weather advisory is issued. Cancellations due to weather can be rescheduled or refunded depending on availability.
