This is an easy-going Hawaiʻian Style paddle on a Class Zero river combined with a moderate hike through a rainforest.
Quick Details
Enjoy paddling up Hule’ia River, a beautiful calm jungle stream. After cruising downwind for two miles, tie the kayaks and hike 3/4 of a mile to an enchanting waterfall and swimming hole. At the end of the tour, enjoy a cruise down river on their motorized Hawaiian Canoe, no need to paddle against the wind!
If you are looking for a full day of adventure, look no further. Hule’ia is best known as the site for filming a wide range of major motion pictures including Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jurassic Park and Lost World. Hike lush jungle trails through a fern-covered valley to the secluded pools and waterfalls (ropeswings optional). Rather than paddling back into the wind, finish your kayaking adventure in style with a relaxing ride back on a motorized canoe through this treasured area, which is listed on the National Register of Historic places. The only kayak tour in all of Hawaiʻi with return by motorized canoe, it’s easygoing fun and excitement for everyone. Paddle downwind, take a stroll through the jungle, kick back and cruise to the dock with your USCG Captain at the helm.
