We had a great time on our tour. A few things to note: your shoes won't just get wet - they'll be immersed completely and often. Really. The waterfall is beautiful. The river is lovely. Our guide, AJ was funny and knowledgable. The paddling was a little more strenuous than I expected, but doable. The hike was easy - but... More

Our guide Justin took us up river for about 2 miles. Apparently wind is more important than current since, even though we went up stream, the wind in the back made it go smoothly. Than we hiked about a mile to the waterfall (nice hike and not too hard), spend about 45 minutes at the waterfall (beautifull, cold water, somewhat... More

The river is beautiful, not too far to paddle, though on the way back it seems longer. Then you get to the hiking part which is also pretty but extremely slippery and muddy. We grabbed sticks on the ground for support. One of those sets of hiking sticks would be good. Of course the guide had no trouble with the... More

Justin was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area and willing to share that knowledge. He was also very patient with us novice kayakers.

We spent about 4 to 5 hours kayaking, hiking, and hanging out at a waterfall. Our guide was Justin and he was extremely knowledgable about Kauai and the Hawaiian islands. We had a great time and the excursion was well worth the money.

My husband and I signed up for this Kayak tour prior to our arrival in Kauai, and we had SUCH a great time! We had Justin as our guide, and he was not only informative but a lot of fun as well! We kayaked for about 2 miles or so before we docked our kayaks along the side of the... More

Annie led our tour group of 8 and it was a great and fun afternoon. She had a fun, easy going personality we enjoyed. However, I personally would have enjoyed much more information about the flora and fauna and the history of the area. The stories I heard were funny stories about past guests. I probably would rate this tour... More

Annie led us on a wonderful kayak trip and hike to a great waterfall. Be ready for some water and mud along the way, but that's part of the charm of this trip. I honestly can't say a bad thing about it. Annie keeps the mood light and shares her experiences with you along the way. If it has rained... More

This is the second time my wife and I have done this tour, it's an awesome time. We highly recommend Annie and were lucky enough to have her for a second time as well. This tour is a great mix of exercise and fun. You will also get a chance to hear a lot about the flora and fauna on... More
