Daniel and another passenger did a great job patching them up, and Daniel made sure to take them to Urgent Care to make sure they were ok. Dropped us off at the Black Sands Beach and came back with our travel mate to continue the trip. Daniel's insight was incredible for a transplant. His upbeat and calm personality made him fun to listen too.…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 783 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $155

Pair a gentle tandem kayak trip on Kauai’s Wailua River with a muddy, rocky rainforest hike to Sacred Falls. State-certified guides such as Annie, Harrison, Lindsey, Anya, and Jay lead the way, provide walking sticks and safety gear, and serve lunch beside the waterfall. Plan for wet shoes, uneven ground, and moderate exertion.

“A beautiful tandem kayak trip up the river so it wasn't too hard with 2 people paddling. The shoes you wear on the kayak get wet and also are your shoes for the hike. The hike took us through water half way up to your knee, over rocks, mud, and roots. The waterfalls are beautiful but not too full when we went. You could swim in the fresh water pool at the bottom of the waterfall. There were lots of rocks on the bottom so difficult to walk around. We hung by the waterfall and had lunch and got in the water. Then headed back repeating the hike and kayak…”

The road is very curvy and the person in our family who drives was able to enjoy this as much as the rest of us. We ended with seeing a large number of turtles.”
