Great excursion!!

We had a great time! Our guide was amazing and we learned a lot about the island from him. The kayaking wasn’t too difficult and neither was the hike to the falls. Our guide prepared us well. Definitely 100% must do while on Kauai!

Definitely a must do!

This was so much fun and exciting, what could be better than swimming in a waterfall?! My best friend and I had a blast with our instructor Sam. He pointed out a lot of plants and sites too. We were pretty bad at kayaking but Sam helped us out and stayed close so we weren’t left behind. We swam in the waterfall for like an hour, and it was absolutely breathtaking!

Ali’i Secret Waterfall kayak and hike worth it!!

Just finished!! This tour was awesome. As a 58 year old 175 lb woman I was a bit concerned when I read the description, but don’t worry! The paddle upstream was pretty easy. The paddle back was a bit more work bc we had a headwind, but was do-able. The hike was pretty level on a raised boardwalk except for a short climb up a 5 foot high embankment. Our guide, Cayman, was delightful, telling us interesting facts and motivating us along the trail. You definitely will enjoy a dip in the waterfall after the paddle and hike. Do it!!

Fun afternoon

We had a great time on our trip. Kayaking up the river was beautiful and not too hard. The Hike was easy and our guide stopped and pointed out some interesting plants and stopped to take pictures of us along the way. He shared all the photos at the end which was nice for those without phones or cameras. The waterfall was really cool and we stopped to swim take pictures more pictures and eat a snack or lunch. I would definitely recommend.

Must do….

Absolutely fantastic tour. Ask for Sam if you go. He’s a native Islander and provides a wealth of Information about the river as well as the trail. The kayak tour is awesome – – it is demanding so please make sure you’re a decent kayaker if you go But it’s not overly challenging that kids can’t do. The trail is moderate — About a mile long. Highly recommend – – although if you do go for 3/4 of a day
