Wonderful experience. More challenging as the hike is over rocky/slipery terrain. Wear a guality shoe that will get wet and provide foot stability.

Our guide Helm was entertaining and full of information about the plants and terrain. May 12th a flood had come through with 12' of water and we were lucky to have the trip. Kayaking not overly hard, but the head winds on way back do make you work. Water fall swim was fun and overall A+ experience. Recommend if ever on the island.

This was our first excursion of our trip and we had a blast. The views were unlike anything we've seen on any of the other islands so far. We're a pretty active couple, but we've only kayaked one other time, so that was the more challenging part for us. We wore hiking clothes and shoes. The clothes were the right choice, but I would probably just wear a sturdy water shoe or sandal if I were to do it again. You have to walk through a knee-high river with a bit of a current two times during the hiking portion. Each kayak holds two people, so know that if you are a group with an odd number of people, a member of your party will likely be kayaking with someone else. We saw lots of other tour groups and individuals during the excursion. Our guide, Dustin was very knowledgeable about the island and shared lots of interesting facts with us along the hike. He takes photos of the group throughout the excursion and airdrops them to you at the end, which is really convenient.

Our river guide was great! Made the trip fun and entertaining. The kayaking was a great exercise and the hike was pretty chill. Can't miss this.

It was a great day. The waterfall is amazing. The hike is not too strenuous, a couple of river crossings that can be slippery but our guide Zac gave us walking sticks which helped a lot. Group was a good size, guide was knowledgeable about the local flora and fauna, and history of the area. Really have only positives to report. Definitely go!

Scott_P

Fun couple activity, totally worth it. Kayak Zach was a fun guide and gave lots of dad jokes and interesting facts about the area

This is a must-do if you physically can do it. I did this tour 18 years ago, and it’s still in my top 3 excursions of all time. It’s beautiful, fascinating (learning about plants and animals from the guide), and enjoyable. While the Green Room from almost two decades ago has been flooded away, there are remnants that are still quite spectacular, and the waterfall and pools are still breathtaking! Helm was a great guide and about plants.

This review is for the kayak portion only because, due to the floods, the hiking trail had been shut down. We were delayed due to a flight issue, and Jack was kind enough to reschedule us for a later kayak tour on the same afternoon. The trip out and back was beautiful, and a blast even in the rain. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the area, and gave us some great recommendations on places to see and restaurants to try. A great trip!

Cecilia_L

We had Zach as our guide and he was the best! We had done some kayaking prior to this but Zach taught us a lot of strategies we had never been taught before, which made kayaking more enjoyable for us. It's a beautiful little trip down the Wailua River and to us it felt like the perfect length. One of our favorite Kauai adventures.
