Wailua River Kayak and Waterfall Hike
Paddle the majestic Wailua River, the original home of the first Hawaiians, who paddled nearly 3000 miles from the Marquesas Islands to Kaua’i almost 1500 years ago. Hear the legends and learn about the flora and fauna of Kauai`s most sacred area. After paddling past numerous Heiaus along the cliff lines of the Wailua, you will reach Kamokila village, a replica of an ancient Hawaiian village and traditionally a sacred fishing and farming area.
Soon 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 (three miles out and back) through the Kauai rainforest to an enchanting waterfall, which descends 120 feet into a natural pool surrounded by rocks and vegetation. Inclement weather rarely stops this fantastic journey!
Duration: 5 hours
