Your Kauai kayaking tour starts with a leisure 2 mile paddle upstream through the scenic valley of the Wailua River.
After securing your kayaks on the shores of the North Fork, your moderate to strenuous 1.5 mile hike begins. Wade through multiple streams, a lush rainforest and traverse over muddy trails all the while learning about local flora and fauna from one of our friendly and knowledgeable guides.
Your hiking trek concludes with the beautiful 120’ Uluwehi Falls, a.k.a. Secret Falls. Be sure to get a picture in front of the falls so you have proof you conquered the Wailua River and Secret Falls hike.
You’ll learn why the Wailua River is so special and sacred to the Hawaiian people and how it influenced native Hawaiian life and trade throughout the centuries. You’ll experience the true “Aloha Spirit” and will leave with a little mana’o (knowledge) about our wondrous island.
