Absolutely stunning area. You start with a two mile kayak to the trailhead, and then the hike is about three miles round trip, you do have to kayak the 2 miles out but it’s so worth it. We had a great tour guide she stopped and would show us all the different/unique plants on the hike.

A fun little adventure! The county had access to the waterfall closed due to flooding, so the company called us and offered a partial refund if we just wanted to do the kayak portion. We still had fun paddling up the Wailua and stopping on the shore for an early lunch. Our guide Thomas was laid back and fun and made sure we had a great time despite the closure.

Our guide Sierra was great, fun, knowledgable and caring. Kayaking the Wailua river is always enjoyable. The pace was great and overall a wonderful experience.

Highly recommend this adventure! Our guide, Sierra was fantastic, and provided lots of information about the flora and fauna and stories along the way. The kayak was a beautiful glide up to the trailhead. The hike was not strenuous but you definitely need good shoes for the water crossings and slippery rocks! The state has even added several boardwalks along the way to keep you above the mud While the falls may be called secret, it was quite busy along the trail and at the falls so don’t expect any quiet peaceful moments! Mahalo Sierra!

Such a great bonding experience for our family of four. Our youngest is 7 and he absolutely loved the hiking, kayaking and swimming near the falls. Both of my kids were able to keep up pace with the other adults in our group. Our guide, Sierra, was incredible! She was funny, patient, kind, full of all kinds of great information, and gave us some recommendations for food all over Kauai!

Thomas was a great guide! We enjoyed the trip. The waterfall was beautiful as was the spread for lunch. Beware the hike is muddy and you will cross some water where your shoes will get wet. Don’t let that deter you!
