Itinerary

This five-hour guided tour is a wonderful waterfall adventure for the family, *(ages 6 to 60) combining idyllic paddling on the Wailua River and a hike to a remote bridal-veil waterfall. The Wailua River became the center of activity for early Hawaiians and is known as one of Hawaii's two most sacred places. At night, it is said that one can still hear ancient drums thunder in concert with the nearby surf The trail leading to our sacred waterfall is a beautiful "greenhouse" where flowers, brooks, and ferns abound. Swim by the waterfall and enjoy a fresh deli made lunch. The setting for this jaunt is tranquil and tropical, the pace is unhurried. We delight in sharing the peaceful, pastoral existence of ancient Hawaii with you. Come share the life and natural history of this mystical land and enjoy its great quiet with us! *Please be advised before booking this tour trail conditions can be slippery, with moving stream crossings, and muddy areas with uneven surfaces.

Incredible experience! Our guide, Garrick (G), was immensely knowledgeable about the area and assisted us in how to best row the kayak. This is a long kayak and hike tour, and it flew by with all of the beautiful sights and information. We would recommend 100%

Peaceful and beautiful kayaking/hiking trip with lots to see and learn about local plants and flowers. Harrison was a fun, chill, knowledgeable tour guide. He had all kinds of interesting things to share about the plants, animals, and culture. Gave us some great tips for places to snorkel and visit while we are here. Thanks, Harrison! Highly recommend this excursion.
