Awesome, had a great time! - This excursion was awesome. It was just my wife and I and the crew explained everything, were super helpful and nice. Although this is on the pricier side, I definitely would recommend this if you want a unique experience and in a super small group setting. It was beautiful. It was fun it was exhilarating as well since there was an element of danger that added to the excursion. but that’s all part of it. definitely worth the money. This is the opposite of other group excursions that we’ve done where you’re herded like cats. So if you want a semi to semi private excursion, this is the one to book .

Waterfall rappel - My family of 4 had a great time with Matt and Kate. They were super knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable on the dry wall before heading out to the waterfalls. Wonderful experience and a highlight of our vacation!

Epic Waterfall Hike in Kauai - My family and I loved how Mitch had loads of information about the trees and vegetation along the small hike towards the 2 falls. The hidden falls are definitely awesome and a great place to visit. Loved the private access to the fall and the swim. My young adults enjoyed climbing behind the fall. One of the most awesome experiences.

Best experience!! Safe and fun! - I thoroughly enjoyed my experience of 30 feet and 60 feet Waterfall Rappelling with Matt and the crew. They made it so easy for us. They trained us well and made sure that everything was done safely. I messed while rappelling but they made sure that I was safe and brought me down safely. They also gave me an opportunity to do it again and this time I succeeded. It was such a wonderful experience!! I would do it again and again because it is so much fun!! Definitely worth doing this activity if you are on Kauai!

Best Kauai waterfall experience - Amazing amazing amazing. The small group together with the patience and skill of these 2 gents is very very commendable. We would strongly recommend this for your trip to Kauai. I wish there was a bigger sign at the entrance. It's a little hard You blink and you miss it.

Best waterfall rapelling in Kauai - These two gents were amazing. They had that patience to hand hold us through the entire process. My wife was very nervous but they were able to lead her through the entire process with calm, patience and empathy. We all loved this. Would strongly encourage everyone to go with this tour. Thank you both
