Great trip. The hike was described as “moderate”, which correctly describes the exertion level. However, the footing is treacherous in places, likely due to trail disruption from recent flooding. The guide did a great job assisting those with mobility issues.

“Jake” was a great guy and an excellent host. He definitely looked out for our safety and was super helpful with kayaks and info! Family of 4 had some fun for sure! Thanks

Adventurous kayaking that leads to a hike/waterfalls you can only access by river. More interesting than I imagined. You do go across four streams, the largest goes up to your thighs so should wear appropriate clothing and shoes!

Our tour guide Mana was fantastic and went the extra mile several times for us.
We learned quite a bit about tandem kayaking and really enjoyed the beauty of our hike.

Khayman was fantastic. Everyone really seemed to enjoy it all together. Kayaks were easy to use and comfortable. And the hike thru the jungle was nice to have to do (excercise!)

10/10 recommend! Kayaking was alittle hard at first learning how to kayak on a double kayak when we’re used to singles. The hike was gorgeous and waterfall was beautiful! Hiking was definitely easier than kayaking!

The queens bath and the falls were breathtaking. The kayak and hike were very doable for almost anyone!

This was the first time my husband and I tried kayaking. Our guide, Mana, was awesome and gave us great instructions and encouragement. This was the first kayak/hike since a recent flash flood and it was challenging. Mana cut some hau walking sticks for us which made it doable for us (we're in the seniors category). All of the people in the group were also very helpful and encouraging. We were able to experience the beauty of Queen's Bath and the gorgeous Uluwehi waterfalls. Amazing!
