Great experience kayaking and hiking - We loved this excursion. Would recommend doing the morning one at 9 am as it was quite a bit hotter by the time we returned at 1:30 pm. Our guide Maana was fabulous- so knowledgeable and fun!

Are some challenging... - Are some challenging areas on the hike. My husband and i are in our early sixties and did fine though. Beautiful waterfall worth the hike. Also a beautiful river for kayaking.

Very good experience.... - Very good experience. Kman was a great guide. He has amazing energy and shared a lot with us. Kman was kind enough to help someone from another group that sprained their ankle. The hike was moderate-easy. Kayaking Waimea river was beautiful

Great tour! - Great trip. Enjoyed the paddle and hike with friendly guide, Sam. Crossed the river at the start of the hike and one other small water crossing. Relaxing walk to the falls. Due to drought the falls are just a trickle. Wind made paddle back a bit more challenging.

Outstanding kayak hike trip in Kauai - Phenomenal guide-Khayman was organized, encouraging, patient with those of us not as comfortable - he was an encyclopedia of interesting history and facts about the area and Kauai. Gave great suggestions and documented many great moments which allowed us to focus on the experience. The river scenery was gorgeous and although windy, doable!the hike was filled with beautiful forestry and wildlife- our guide had a bird actually eating out of our hands!! Thank you Khayman for an incredible excursion!

A day with Kai - This was an amazing experience! Our guide Kai was amazing! Super knowledgeable and friendly! The real hero of our day and leader was Koo his little dog! I would say if you’re not in shape or don’t know how to kayak this isn’t for you! But if you are it’s an amazing day adventure!
