My husband and I did this excursion while on our honeymoon, and it was such a fun and unforgettable experience! The kayak and hike to the waterfall were absolutely beautiful every step (and paddle) of the way. Jonathan was incredibly knowledgeable and social — he made the whole adventure even more enjoyable with his insights and great energy. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend part of our honeymoon. I’d definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a mix of adventure and nature, and we’d do it again in a heartbeat!

Great outdoor activity tour experience. We kayaked, moderate hike, water fall experience and even got to dip in the Wailua river. Our tour guide did a great job explaining and sharing his knowledge on the different species of plants, trees and some animals, he shared a bit of the Kauai history as well.
