About this activity

Explore Kauai on a family-friendly guided kayaking and hiking tour of the Wailua river valley and Uluwehi falls a.k.a. Secret Falls. A professional tour guide will take you paddling through some of Kauai's most sacred waterways and hiking through some of the most beautiful lush tropical forest Kauai has to offer sharing myths, legends and some Hawaiian history all the way to Secret Falls.

We do sell out frequently and due to state regulations cannot take more people on our tour. However, please check out our sister company which will provide you with an amazing adventure to the exact same river and waterfall on a paddle board or kayak, except without a guide. You can enjoy the day at your own leisure.
