Great day! - We had a blast. AJ was great with helping us get our boards loaded up and off the car at the end of the day. The falls a beautiful. My only suggestion would be a little more description of where to go for the swimming hole and cliff jump.

First time with SUP - Very helpful and informative. First time with SUP and were surprise that we made the round trip in the middle of wind and rain. It took 5 hours

Worth trying - I've never done paddle boarding before and I was a bit worried before the day. Once I got on the board and started paddling, my fear was gone. I like it more than kayaking. You could paddle in any position you like, standing, sitting, kneeling...
The hike to the Secret Falls was also fun, however, I would recommend bring a can of OFF with you if you go in in shorts or bathing suits. I got many mosquito bites during the walk.

Paddle on Up! - I loved it! It was a great way to visit Wailua Falls. We were the only paddle boarders out there because most were kayakers. But, I highly recommend this mode of transport :-). However, you do need to be a little more fit and this should be considered exercise. Paddling back against the wind is not for the fainthearted. As a woman, there were moments where I felt I couldn't make progress. My husband did just fine. My brother-in-law kneeled and did just fine, too. But, the river is an easy paddle and you don't have much to challenge your balance. It took about an hour to get to the trailhead on paddle. Then, the hike is about 1.2 miles in. The path had incurred a lot of damage with a recent storm that washed away a lot, but was definitely manageable. Maybe not for someone who is not steady on their feet. Round trip, door-to-door was 5 hours. Overall, it was a great experience and would absolutely do it again.

Adventure Awaits - From the moment we decided to embark on a last-minute adventure to Kauai, I knew I wanted to surprise my husband with something unforgettable. Kauai SUP turned out to be the perfect choice for our spontaneous escapade. We rented two stand-up paddleboards to explore the serene and majestic Wailua River, and the experience was nothing short of magical.
The staff at Kauai SUP were not just friendly, but incredibly informative, ensuring we were well-prepared and comfortable for our journey.
The beauty that surrounded us as we paddled up the river was unparalleled, a testament to the natural splendor of Kauai that has to be seen to be believed. The tranquility of the river, combined with the lush landscapes and the gentle sounds of nature, made for a truly remarkable experience.
The hike to Secret Falls offered a fantastic opportunity for aerobic exercise, allowing us to rack up our steps in the most adventurous way possible. It truly felt like venturing off the beaten path, especially as we navigated through knee-high water to continue on our quest to discover the hidden beauty of the Secret Falls. The waterfall was breathtaking.
We recommend Kauai SUP anyone looking to add a touch of adventure and beauty to their trip. It's not just an activity, it's an experience that connects you with the heart of Kauai. Mahalo Kauai SUP. We will definitely be back for more!

Can be a tough paddle but the falls are worth it! - I found the paddle boarding very enjoyable. My kids thought it was a little long, it was pretty windy so that made it sort of difficult. The hike to secret falls was fun, and pretty easy. The boards on the path were super helpful. The paddle is hard work but the falls are worth the work! Beautiful and refreshing. It was busy but people were all great about taking turns behind the falls for pictures. Highly recommend either SUP board or Kayak depending on how you like to navigate the water.

Make sure you are physically strong to join this tour - I signed up for the tour for myself as a mom with my young kids. I didn’t know it was a self guided tour and also required to be physically strong enough to carry the paddle board and paddle for 2 miles each way plus one mile hike with some rough areas to walk. I wish the tour description had these information, then I would have not chosen it. We got really scared when we couldn’t move forward with paddling for a good 30 minutes due to the strong wind. We didn’t have a way to contact directly for a help. It was not easy for us to put the boards on top of our car ourselves.
We finally completed but the whole thing took us at least 6 hours. It was a nightmare for us.

Not good. - The employee on staff told us to book online. And we did. He even told us to arrive by 9:00am on April 7. We arrived 9:20am. No one showed up. And no one answered our phones calls. There were two other guests were also waiting. No one called about closing the river. Or about not showing up for business. We booked 2 days prior to our trip. They should have told us the river was closed. They need to refund our payment. I expect a response.
