God's great creation on display - My wife and I joined Kayak Adventures for the Secret Falls Tour on 10/24/24. Levi was an excellent guide – possibly the best we have ever had on an excursion. He was very engaged with good instructions and concerned everyone was safe and had a good time. He explained the history and culture very well and included some of his story as well which is also incredible. The location is easy to find. The drive and unloading / loading easy. The kayaking length was perfect and very enjoyable on the river. The hike length also perfect and time at the falls just enough to marvel at God’s creation, rest, eat lunch, and be ready for the trip back. A very affordable trip for all we experienced – would highly recommend both Kayak Adventures and Levi!

Great Time With Levi Our Guide - Loved our kayak and hiking trip with Levi! He was so patient with my wife and daughter who struggled with the first part of the kayaking. He was a blessing. The trip was fun and exciting and fairly strenuous. I especially liked Levi’s guiding style as he really talked about the Hawaiian culture and how significant this area was and is to the people. He was entertaining, professional, funny and patient. Also quite a good singer. Highly recommend!

Great experience. Levi, our guide, made the difference. His attitude was inspiring! - Great experience! Our guide Levi was extremely knowledgeable and lots of fun too. He shared stories about his culture and guided us (barefoot!) over the muddy path to the serene waterfall. The kayaking was not too strenuous so enjoyable by all. Highly recommend!!

Earn the experience - The hike is beautiful! Even in the rain. The waterfall was so refreshing. And the kayaking is not something we ever get to do elsewhere.

Levi was a great tour guide! - Levi was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the area and the hike. Unfortunately due to the drought the waterfall wasn’t raging. But I was still great to get in the water and sit under the falls after the short hike. Would recommend!

Great experience - Levi, our guide, is personable, informative and knowledgeable. He taught us about the local culture throughout the experience and had lots of stories to share. The experience itself was a good combination of activities since we kayaked and then hiked to the waterfall. It was a couple miles of kayaking followed by about a mile of hiking to get to the waterfall.

Overall a great tour - Overall a great tour. We usually like to venture out on our own but was easy and a small group. A plus was the location at Coconut Marketplace which was in walking distance for us. Our guide Levi was great. Knowledgeable and had a great connection to the Hawaiian ancestry and traditions. Easy transport to the river, unload the kayaks and in the water. Kayaks are in pretty good shape and the back supports a must. Kayak up pretty smooth then beach them amongst the many others. The hike was through water, over roots, rocks, and a good part on planks nicely laid out. Water shoes with a sole is a must or tennis shoes if you don't mind them getting wet and dirty. Levi made several stops to explain and you could always ask a question. Good pace but would adjust to the group. Bring some bug spray as there were a few that got bitten. The falls stop is pretty short but time to get a bite to eat and take a swim. Kayak back a bit harder due to the wind but you never felt rushed. A quick load up and back to the drop off spot.
