“Excellent trip with Bobby!!”

Reviewed 21 May 2012

Great kayaking and hiking experience. My boyfriend and I scheduled this kayaking trip for the day after we had completed the somewhat treacherous eight-mile hike to Hanakapi'ai Falls. We honestly couldn't have planned it better. After a long day of fast-paced hiking and river rock jumping, this totally chill kayak/hike trip was exactly what we needed. The Wailua River is... More

“Wonderful time kayaking, hiking, and swimming”

Reviewed 17 May 2012

I highly recommend this activity when visiting Kauai. Low impact kayaking, mildly easy stroll in woods, and a beautiful experience at the pond and falls. If you have every dreamed of swimming next and into a water fall this will do it for you. Our guide was Chris and he was very informative in all parts of the day. And... More

“Awesome day with Aaron!”

Reviewed 28 April 2012

Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day and knowledgeable guide. Aaron kept us learning about the area, culture, flora and fauna all the way to the falls. The trip seemed to fly by. Aaron made sure everyone was able to keep up with the rest of the group, all the while - safety being his primary concern. The falls... More

“Awesome trip!”

Reviewed 27 April 2012

This is a "must do" activity if you go to Kauai. The scenery is beautiful and there is no waiting around. Our guide was Rick and he knew so much about the culture and the area from being raised there. He really loved what he was doing and that made for a great experience for the entire group. I highly...

“Reservation problems”

We used a website to make a reservation day before we were planning to go. The website doesn’t tell you if there are available seats, just take the reservations. Next day we get up early in the morning to go to Kayak Adventures office to find out we were not on the list and they won’t be able to take... More
