Traveller Tips
- "Wear shoes with good traction for the trail because it was muddy and you could easily slip without them." See review
- "Have to consistently paddle and walk can be muddy and slippy, so not suitable for anyone with leg/back problems." See review
- "be well prepared with shoes that can get dirty in a mud that may be a feet deep and get ready to be washed by flows of clear water before you go back to kayak." See review

Our family had a blast on this kayaking/hiking. We felt like we got a real taste of Kauai….the River, the birds, the foliage, views, waterfall. Brian was an amazing guide. He was full of fun and all kinds of information. Plus, he introduced us to all his bird “friends”. We’d do this again!
Barb and Jerry’s excellent adventure.

This entire tour was amazing with our guide Jason. The kayaking was fun and relaxing...there was no pressure to stay with the group and everyone went at there own pace. The hike was beautiful and at times challenging but not hard. The water fall was georgeous and very cold. Watch out for the chickens they will steal your food. Excellent tour and would recommend it.
First time kayaker can’t wait to return!

Can’t say enough, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience on the river and hike to the waterfall. So beautiful! Bring a bathing suit and jump in.
From kayak launch to the very end, Bryan provided us a memorable experience. He was very knowledgeable with the island, one with nature, and overall super chill.
Magnificent life experience!

We had a wonderful experience. Our guide Mike was particularly knowledgeable and full of great energy. He explained the historical significance of the place that we were visiting which made us feel more connected.
Very glad we chose the 7am option because we regularly felt we had the place to ourselves. The hike after the kayaking was magical. Definitely wear close toed shoes and enough food and water! We forgot to bring a small towel to dry off after swimming at the waterfall. We didn’t need the mosquito spray we brought. Highly recommend it and ask for Mike if you can!!! These are great memories for a lifetime
Mike was awesome!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
