We had the best day!!! From the beautiful weather, the calm kayak conditions, the lush hiking environment, the spectacular falls and our amazing guide Justice, we could not have had a better experience. Justice was incredibly friendly, super knowledgeable, funny (dad jokes lol), patient and an overall great guide who thoroughly enjoys what he does. As novice kayakers, we had no issues but the river was very calm with very little wind. As intermediate hikers we found the trail fairly easy to navigate as long as we were mindful on the rocks and roots. On the hike, you WILL get muddy and you WILL get wet crossing 4 streams and 1 river but it’s all worth it once you reach the breathtaking falls. The lunch supplied by the tour was pretty good too as we picnicked at the falls. Hiking shoes/sandals or running shoes are best. For anyone with mobility issues, they may find parts of the hike difficult. We would highly recommend this tour as it was the highlight of our time on Kauai!!

We really enjoyed this kayak and hiking experience. We’re about 70 years old, and this was close to the edge of our envelope, but it was exhilarating. Our guide, Jason, was great. He was safety conscious, entertaining, knowledgeable and friendly. I had the impression that he loves his job. He was also very careful with the well being of the older people in the group. The river is beautiful. You just can’t beat the scenery. The trail is rough, but the muddiest spots are boardwalked. The falls are lovely, and the history of the place is very interesting. The overall organization of the service seemed very good to me. Our experience was smooth and uniformly a lot of fun. The equipment was in good shape. Thanks for such a good time Wailua River Kayaks (and Jason)! Our party was photo 36.

Excellent multi-sensory Active Adventure! We were a family of 7 adults who went on the afternoon tour 3/22/24 with Will as our guide. The kayak portion was beautiful along the winding Wailua. Will provided information about the historic significance of the hills and mountains, as well as Hawaiian culture during the paddle. Then a true hike through the rain forest, across streams, and over well- worn but uneven terrain on dirt paths. Our final destinations, the sacred Falls, was beyond any of her expectations. We had 45 minutes to enjoy the waterfall pool in the Falls and a great picnic lunch. The water was refreshing and invigorating and energized us with the food additionally for the hike and paddle back. Our ages range from 34 to 69 and Will made it incredibly meaningful and enjoyable for all. Definitely a repeat experience for anytime we return to the island and we will tell our friends it’s a “must - do”if visiting Kauai! Thank you Will and Kayak Kauai!

Kayaking up the river and enjoying all the green around us was amazing! The river was going to fast so we were unable to go on our hike but they let us know that we would be getting a partial refund for not going on the hike.

We rented two double kayaks from Kauai Kauai and ventured out for the day on our own. Kayaked for approximately 45-60 min down the river which was peaceful and beautiful (we were not in a rush). Parked the kayak and hiked to the sacred falls (again about 45-60 min). It is not a manicured path - which we loved as it was a bit of an adventure. Wearing good shoes that could get wet (needed to hike though streams) was imperative. Finally getting to the falls was pretty amazing - and swimming in them was incredible. One of our favourite days on the island for sure! Recommend if you have a bit of an adventurous spirit! (There were lots of guided tour groups but we loved going on our own).

Such a great experience. Make sure you have the endurance for a 4 mile kayak and a 2 mile rugged hike. The waterfall was beautiful! Our guide was great. I wouldn’t recommend for young kiddos.

Izzy is an absolutely fantastic guide who made the kayak and sacred fall hike a wonderful experience. In addition to creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere, Izzy shared a lot of interesting history and stories of the valley and region. Izzy introduced us to her bird friend and timed our visit to have the waterfall experience with just our small tour group. The lunches were great as well as the pineapple Izzy cut for us at the end of the trip. Loved the scenery and the trip - would highly recommend!

Izzy our tour guide was very knowledgeable and made the trip fun! Having lunch and drinks provided sets this tour apart from the rest.

This was an amazing adventure! The views were amazing while we were kayaking. Hiking was the most memorable part of our trip - thanks to our tour guide Jeffrey. He was knowledgeable, friendly and so fun! We really appreciated his helpfulness and can-do attitude! The rain we experienced made the hike that more enjoyable and exciting. We had Secret Falls all to our selves ( and a couple chickens)!
