Itinerary
- Start your day right at our kiosk for check-in, located at Coconut Marketplace right beneath the iconic water tower. (15 mins)
- Embark on a guided hike through the verdant trails of Wailua State Park to discover the enchanting Uluwehi Falls. The journey takes you along a scenic path, mostly boardwalk —winding through tropical foliage and over gentle streams—until you arrive at the captivating falls, where the lush surroundings and cascading water create a truly memorable experience. (300 mins)
- There is a reason Kauai is considered the Garden Isle—lush jungles, scenic waterways, and cascading waterfalls set against dramatic volcanic mountains create the perfect tropical backdrop. While there are many ways to explore this natural wonder, kayaking uniquely lets you experience the many facets of this island paradise. Your kayak exploration of the Wailua begins with a two-mile paddle up Kauai’s only navigable river. Your friendly, local guide will help you find the best routes as you pass through Kamokila Village and toward the north fork of the river, sharing stories of the early Hawaiians who first paddled these waters over 1,500 years ago. After your paddle, you’ll step off your kayak for a moderate hike through a lush rainforest along the secret falls trail, until you reach a stunning 120-foot cascade plummeting down a mountain cliff. Finally, you’ll paddle back to your starting point, ending your tour with cherished photos and memories of an unforgettable adventure. (45 mins)
