Outfitters Kauai – Wailua Waterfall Kayak

Paddle a stable, tandem kayak up the serene Wailua River, Hawaii's only navigable waterway, framed by emerald jungle and the distant silhouette of Mt. Wai'ale'ale. Your guide shares stories of ancient Hawaiian life as you glide through the lush valley, pointing out remnants of old home sites hidden along the shore.

After an easy upstream journey you beach the kayaks and follow a gentle one-mile trail beneath towering trees to a 120-foot waterfall. Cool off under the mist, lounge on sun-warmed lava rock or simply soak in the rainforest soundtrack while your guide sets out a picnic lunch. Recharged, you hike back to the river and enjoy a leisurely paddle downstream to the launch site.
