Amazing!! - We had an incredible experience on this tour! Our guide, Izzy, was absolutely amazing—super chill, friendly, and told cool stories. The views were beautiful, from the kayaking to the hiking trails and, of course, the waterfall. The kayaking was a bit of a challenge for a beginner like me, but in a good way. December was a great time to go since it wasn't super crowded at the waterfall and not too hot. Highly recommend!

Lindsey is a great tour guide - Lindsey was knowledgeable, friendly and fun! I had the opportunity to be in a tandem kayak with her because there was an uneven amount of guests. She gave me tips and tricks for exploring the island as well as Hawaii in general. Will definitely book another trip with her.

Beautiful way to workout - It was a beautiful tour, you Kayak down the river and hike up the waterfall. This definitely isn't for the faint of heart because it is a workout. But, it is beautiful. I enjoyed hanging out at the waterfall. Also, the walking sticks they offer are by request only, which I didn't know. Bit, luckily they had Bamboo sticks to use on the trail.

Pretty waterfall without too much work. - We did this adventure during a rainstorm and with fully muddy trails, but we had fun anyway. The scenery was pretty, though not more impressive than the local hiking trails. The waterfall was pretty, and because of the rain, not crowded. The lunch was fine, and our tour guide was nice. Looking back, I would rather have done the adventure outside the group setting, as we would have been able to move at our own pace.
