I loved it! It was a great way to visit Wailua Falls. We were the only paddle boarders out there because most were kayakers. But, I highly recommend this mode of transport :-). However, you do need to be a little more fit and this should be considered exercise. Paddling back against the wind is not for the fainthearted. As a woman, there were moments where I felt I couldn't make progress. My husband did just fine. My brother-in-law kneeled and did just fine, too. But, the river is an easy paddle and you don't have much to challenge your balance. It took about an hour to get to the trailhead on paddle. Then, the hike is about 1.2 miles in. The path had incurred a lot of damage with a recent storm that washed away a lot, but was definitely manageable. Maybe not for someone who is not steady on their feet. Round trip, door-to-door was 5 hours. Overall, it was a great experience and would absolutely do it again.

The employee on staff told us to book online. And we did. He even told us to arrive by 9:00am on April 7. We arrived 9:20am. No one showed up. And no one answered our phones calls. There were two other guests were also waiting. No one called about closing the river. Or about not showing up for business. We booked 2 days prior to our trip. They should have told us the river was closed. They need to refund our payment. I expect a response.

From the moment we decided to embark on a last-minute adventure to Kauai, I knew I wanted to surprise my husband with something unforgettable. Kauai SUP turned out to be the perfect choice for our spontaneous escapade. We rented two stand-up paddleboards to explore the serene and majestic Wailua River, and the experience was nothing short of magical.
The staff at Kauai SUP were not just friendly, but incredibly informative, ensuring we were well-prepared and comfortable for our journey.
The beauty that surrounded us as we paddled up the river was unparalleled, a testament to the natural splendor of Kauai that has to be seen to be believed. The tranquility of the river, combined with the lush landscapes and the gentle sounds of nature, made for a truly remarkable experience.
The hike to Secret Falls offered a fantastic opportunity for aerobic exercise, allowing us to rack up our steps in the most adventurous way possible. It truly felt like venturing off the beaten path, especially as we navigated through knee-high water to continue on our quest to discover the hidden beauty of the Secret Falls. The waterfall was breathtaking.
We recommend Kauai SUP anyone looking to add a touch of adventure and beauty to their trip. It's not just an activity, it's an experience that connects you with the heart of Kauai. Mahalo Kauai SUP. We will definitely be back for more!

I found the paddle boarding very enjoyable. My kids thought it was a little long, it was pretty windy so that made it sort of difficult. The hike to secret falls was fun, and pretty easy. The boards on the path were super helpful. The paddle is hard work but the falls are worth the work! Beautiful and refreshing. It was busy but people were all great about taking turns behind the falls for pictures. Highly recommend either SUP board or Kayak depending on how you like to navigate the water.

The paddle and hike out to the waterfall was amazing. Ajje was so helpful, he even made dinner recommendations. I would say you need to be somewhat fit (but not experienced) to enjoy the experience.

Neither of us had any prior experience paddle boarding. Our host took his time and covered all of the basics. Gave simple instructions on where to go and what to expect. A great experience. One word of caution is you may have to paddle against the wind to get back. Took us two hours going out and three hours to get back.
