Kayak adventure Kauai - What a fun trip! Levi, our guide, was funny and full of local knowledge as well as good humor and authentic Hawaiian cultural traditions. The river is beautiful and provided a fun and only lightly physical challenge. The hike to the waterfall is leisurely with only a slight incline at times and doesn't require any special effort. The waterfall is stunning with cool water water the base providing a refreshing dip after your hike. This was a really nice way to see Kauai and we highly recommend.

Kayak and hike to secret falls - 2 miles kayaking is one way. (4 miles total) However easy for the average person. The hike has lots of roots, rocky and gets muddy but worth the hike. Our guide was a native to the area Levi and did an amazing job.

Kayak Kauai - The tour was fantastic. Nathan our guide was excellent. Full of fun facts. The kayak was 2 miles each way and not too bad. The hike was a mile each way and worth it!

Great Adventure - This was a great tour. Out guide did a great job of teaching us how to paddle the kayak and let us go at our own pace. The hike was mostly shady and not too difficult. Be sure to wear sturdy shoes that you don't mind getting wet since you have to wade through some water. There is a boardwalk along large portions of the trail, which makes the hike a little easier, although there are still several areas where you have to climb over/around tree roots and rocks. The waterfall is pretty, although not a lot of water was flowing when we were there. It was a nice chance to take a break for lunch and enjoy the view. Don't forget to bring and wear sunscreen, especially on your legs during the kayak portion of the tour.

Soul food! - Levi was an amazing guide who cares about the land and loves his job. Perfect mix of water and land time and seven beautiful miles that leave you nicely spent. Loved solo kayaking and taking on the headwind on the return. Highly recommend!
