A good guide makes all the difference - Our guide Gabe was awesome. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun. He took the time to explain the history and significance of things and answered any questions we had. The kayak was fun and the sights were amazing.

Kayaking to Secret Falls - 6 of our group (all 55 and up) joined Erickson for the kayak, secret waterfall guided tour on 5/22/24. What an amazing day! Erickson was so kind and knowledgeable of the flora and fauna that surrounded us on our adventure. He shared cultural history of the area as well as his love for this land. It was a bit challenging crossing the rocky stream, but they had received a lot of rain in the past week so to be expected. I would recommend a walking stick for those crossings to help with balance. We had so much fun and really appreciated the entire experience. It’s a must do and we were so fortunate to have Erickson for our guide!

Kayaking and hiking adventure - The adventure was amazing! The kayaking was a good workout and the hike was not too strenuous. The best part was our guide Levi. He was very friendly and a great singer and very good ukulele player! He told us a lot about Hawaiian customs. Another favorite part of the adventure was making new friends. Thank you Levi

Great activity - Going in the spring (and especially under the waterfall) is a MUST. Icing on top of a great excursion. We had an awesome guide and a fantastic time. Highly recommend. And be prepared to work those arms!

A beautiful Kauaian experience - We had a great time! Jonathan took a small group of us on this kayak tour. The hike was really pleasant and not difficult at all. I would recommend either bringing waterproof hiking boots or hiking shoes, since you will be going through some waters possibly waist deep and some people struggled with taking off their socks and carrying boots across. Jonathan was our guide, and he had lots of information to give about local history, mythology and wildlife. The kayak portion was also great and we had a good lesson and guide from Jonathan that definitely helped us get through. The whole area is so majestic and peaceful. Plenty of chances to take photos and stop for a swim at the waterfall. Pack your own lunches! They provided water and a snack, but we were glad to have brought sandwiches as well. Great experience and would definitely recommend to others.

Unforgettable Adventure - The entire trip is amazing and the walk to the falls is memorable! We had to traverse waters, walk along cedar planks, through the tall grasses. What an adventure!

We had Levi as our tour... - We had Levi as our tour guide and was able to give us some Kaua’i culture along the hike, playing his conch shell and singing songs in the native language. The waterfall was amazing and the whole experience was beautiful. Definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Kaua’i
