About this activity
Aloha! Welcome to the Wailua River's most popular tour. Paddle the majestic Wailua River, which is the only navigable river in Hawaii. This peaceful river winds through a tropical garden paradise of abundant palms, ferns, flowers, and wildlife. Paddle past Kamokila Village, where the opening scene from the movie, Outbreak, was filmed. It is also a cultural village depicting the Hawaiian civilization back in the 17th century. Soon after, you will come to the North Fork where you will paddle leisurely through the Garden Isle's most beautiful jungle river until you come to the trail head for Secret Falls. Enjoy a moderate hike through the Wailua rainforest, the original home of the first Hawaiians, who paddled from the Marquesas Islands to Kauai almost 1500 years ago. Hear the legends and learn about the flora and fauna of Kauai's most sacred area. The final portion of your hike is to the enchanting Uluwehi Waterfall, which descends 120 feet into a natural pool surrounded by rocks and vegetation. Take a refreshing dip and play in the pool which was once only reserved for a king! Tours go out rain or shine. In the event of extreme inclement weather, tours will be re-scheduled.
