Thanks for keeping us safe - Anya, our guide, was fantastic. She had a great attitude, and was very helpful to those who needed it. Before we left the marina, Anya told us we may not be able to make the hike to the Falls, as the overnight rains were causing the river to rise rapidly. When we got to the area to beach the kayaks, she checked the flood gauges and said it was unsafe to hike in. We were all disappointed, but made the best of it. By the time we got back to the marina, the groups that had went in before us were calling for rescue and evacuation. Made us feel real good about her decision!

Excellent experience - The entire experience was wonderful, despite our lack of experience kayaking. The combo of the kayak and hike was a fun adventure, and the waterfall was worth the journey to get there. Our guide, Lindsay, was excellent. She did an incredible job making sure everyone was together, and a great tour guide on both water and land. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It also helped that the weather was great.

Best nature adventure on the island - This is such a fun excursion, the best balance between exploring the water and the land. Secret Falls is a gorgeous sight when it's fully active after rains. The lunch was good and swimming at the falls is an unforgettable experience. Our guide Lindsey was so friendly and knowledgeable about the trail! Highly recommend this to anyone, whether you're an avid kayaker/hiker or just beginning.
