Waterfalls up close. You can do it.t - Our visit to Kauai was "waterfall" themed. Sure, we did hikes to the well known spots, but who would have thought to rappel down the falls? Da Life did, and they did it well. Our crew Matt and Naan(sp) made the experience top notch. This activity could be intimidating and dangerous and was explained, demonstrated, and practiced in a helpful and encouraging manner so that even a rank novice will gain the confidence to do the unthinkable in safe manner. Yes, you will get wet, and if you dare go down the center if the falls, you may get blasted with the full force of the falls. You dont have to though. You can still rappel the falls without the water blast and get the full effect of the experience. You do not have to worry about having to endure an all-or-nothing to get the experience. To make everything in life more enjoyable, it would be a good idea to have a basic level of fitness and rappelling is no exception. Just be able to do a short (and a little hilly) hike and you will be good. You will not be climbing any ropes, and it is gravity that gets you to the bottom, not sheer strength. Ignore the 65 age limit warning, I found that offensive (kidding) since I'm 68 and my wife is 65 and she won't stop talking about it was the highlight of her trip.

So much fun! - This was such a fun experience! My friends and I absolutely loved it. Some of us had to face our fears a bit but after getting down the practice clay wall, the waterfalls were so much fun! The tour guides were also amazing. They were very helpful, friendly and filled with so much information. The property was beautiful and the hike to the falls was just perfect. Not too long or too short in my opinion. I'd definitely go back and do this again!

Great 1/2 day adventure! - Such a great way to see part of the island and have an adventure. Staff was extremely fun and friendly and put safety first! Felt completely safe and comfortable the entire time. My 14 year olds first time rappelling and they were the BEST at making sure he was safe.

What a blast! - I am 70 years old (in decent shape) and was a little worried if I could handle this. No problem! The staff, Matt and Nan today, is very professional (and friendly) and with their expert guidance, everything went smoothly. So much fun!

Waterfall Rappel! - Exciting adventure but they still keep you very safe! short hike with tons to see and knowledgeable guides — will be recommending this group to anyone visiting! They have all you need including shoes. Plus they are responsive - we missed the turn on the way in (narrow dirt road) and they answered our call right away!

Adrenaline junkie must do! - We had the most incredible time waterfall reppelling on Kauai! The guides were professional, knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun; while always making sure we were safe. The hikes in the jungle to the private waterfalls were beautiful and fun as well. If you like adventures, definitely add this to your itinerary!
