My husband and I went on this tour. It was recommended to us by someone who knows their stuff when it comes to the adventures/attractions hawaii offers. The check-in process was simple and easy. each party got a dry bag and could take as many chips and bottled waters as they wanted. we then got a little orientation of what... More

After experiencing a couple of pretty wet days, we were somewhat apprehensive as to just what we were in for! in the event it was great fun, made more so by our guide Kevin who's obvious enthusiasm & constant stream of information added to the overall enjoyment for all. The slippery mud, the tree roots, the river crossing, the bugs,... More

These guys also go under the name Ancient River Kayak. Great Experience - Must do for able bodied tourist. True nature experience. Worth the price. 2 Mile Kayak trip (4 miles round trip). 1 Mile moderate hike (2 mile round trip). We went right after big rainstorms so it was very muddy and slippery, but worth the "adventure". Deli lunch... More

Thomas was our guide. He made the trip educational and fun. The trip consists of 5 miles of kayaking and 2 miles of hiking. They provided drinking water and some food. I am glad I wore long pants and a long sleeve shirt to protect me from getting sunburned. If you wear shorts or a swim suit make sure you... More

We did the 1/2 day Wailua River Kayak and hike to the "Secret Falls". It was an incredible experience and the one person who made it fun, informational and interesting was our tour guide. Andy is a true professional at what he does and you could very quickly tell that he was a stand-up guy. He is passionate about everything... More

Do this activity on a Monday. It sets the pace for the rest of your time on this magical island. Sign up for 8:45am. Hope & pray Kevin is your guide. Bring with you sturdy water shoes, its slippery on hike and in swimming spot. Dont forget bug spray & some water. I was ok with 1 large gatorade. Enjoy... More

Rainbow Kayak Tours did great. Our guide Chris was very chill but definitely knew what he was doing. He told us good stories and really helped us enjoy the experience. It was my first time ever kayaking and the day before I had spent several hours seasick on a boat so I was nervous at first. I was definitely put... More

Great tour, we had a lot of fun and loved seeing the nature of Kauai! Our guide was great and very laid back and enjoyable. Aside from the great workout I didn't expect the hike which was very nice and gorgeous, very easy and not strenuous. Very good tour!

We had an amazing paddle with Aaron, he was so informative, took great pics of us, truly felt his great love for the island. Every turn of the river was more beautiful, really cool paddle up to the kayak drop point. Waterfall was so beautiful, we took later afternoon trip and we were the last group out there, got to...
