Waterfall kayak and hike - A must-do experience in Kauai! Kayak Kauai made it easy, and our guide, Lindsey, was friendly, upbeat, and great with our kids (8 and 11). Buy some inexpensive water shoes to wear and you’re all set for a memorable day.

Great kayaking tour in Kauai - Had a great tour with Lindsey. We had time to kayak and hike on our own, and also had guided time where Lindsey threw in some fun facts about the plant life and history. The river and waterfalls are beautiful! The group was a good size (8 of us total) and felt big enough to socialize, but still small enough to be manageable. The river does get busy with other tours, so expect to see people, but we were mostly just in our own group and passing other tours quickly. They provided lunch at the falls with time to swim, and the tour wrapped up with fresh pineapple that was delicious. I’d highly recommend Lindsey and the tour!
