Rappelling Adventure was AWESOME! - We had a fantastic time with Mitch and Naan (sp?) on our rappelling adventure. They were both super knowledgeable and capable. We felt very safe and had a great time. We were fortunate to be the only two on the trip so we got to go down the big one twice. I would definitely recommend this adventure to my friends.

You would miss the mark not doing this! - Best excursion on the island!!! So rewarding. Charlie spends time teaching you before you are in the jungle. Huge appreciation since I have never repelled. He was knowledgeable, kind, patient and professional. Shadow, a dog he is gaining trust from to take home and rescue from the jungle was incredible. She did the entire trek with us!

One of the best experiences in Kauai! - Wow this was so rad! Did the waterfall tour with my bf and we had such a wonderful time. My bf is an expert at rappelling but I was admittedly a little anxious as we haven't climbed or done a canyoneering trip in a couple years. Our guides were so patient and explained the process so well. They put our entire group at ease and made sure everyone was safe so we could all have a great time. I was nervous to do the test rappel but after getting my yayas out I was all set. There's a fair bit of hiking which I found fun! They provide water shoes and all the gear you need. We are very well traveled, and we've done a lot of really fun stuff in Kauai, including sky diving and a doors off helicopter tour but this definitely counts as one of our best experiences. We both agreed that we would do this tour again the next time we visit Kauai! Can't thank our guides enough for such a great experience.

Absolute must do... - Water rappel was the higlight for us in Kauai! If you are re novice instructional teaching you get is great, and i and my 13 year old felt very safe. Matt and Katie were great with knowledge of area and flora fauna around. The hike to the waterfall is nice, but real thrill begins when you get to the edge of that waterfall and lean back and stare down the waterfall... let yourself go.. absolute must do..

Must do for the adventurous type - This was a highlight of our trip. The crew takes great care in each individual. They teach you really well to ensure your success. My 14 year old was a little nervous but quickly gained confidence and wanted to go first down the 60 foot waterfall. I would recommend to anyone who likes some adventure
