Great experience! - Sam was an amazing tour guide! He was very conscious of all fitness levels, using breaks to share knowledge and information and allowing everyone to move forward safely. It’s a muddy hike, but well worth it. Beautiful views all around. If you’re not comfortable with mud or uneven hiking, this is not the trip for you.

Favorite excursion! - The kayak part of the excursion was gorgeous! The hike portion had extremely slippery terrain. It is probably not suitable for disabled or elderly people. All in all this excursion was a blast! Absolutely beautiful! Our tour guide Sam was amazing, knowledgeable and incredibly fun!

Grateful for excellent guide and trip - Our guide Khayman was incredible, super informative and helpful to all the families and couples in our tour group. He and the Ali’i Kayak team were outstanding. This kayak and hiking adventure was our favorite outing in Kauai, hands down. And then there’s the waterfall at the end. What a gorgeous day!

Kayak and Hike - Kayaking was excellent, hike to the waterfall was beautiful although a bit strenuous for 2 elderly participants. Our guide, Jake, helped with the basics but was not personable and not attentive to our group's needs. At the end, he directed us to available rest rooms and walked off before we could tip him!

Treat yourself to this experience. - Excellent experience and an even better guide, Khayman. Kayak travels through a beautiful and winding route, and a fun hike to a great waterfall that you can swim up to and under. We would highly recommend.
